I use metric units in some projects, imperial in others. It's annoying having to keep switching global units every time. Is there a way in FreeCAD to set the units per-document? When I open a docu...
I think there are two aspects to this: Modifying your choice of hardware and software for various tasks, and improving quality of ergonomics in the chosen *ware. In sum, for me it comes down to avo...

I think Quintec's answer is a good one. But, just for the sake of completeness, I'll add some other options Proprietary options Maple ,a general-purpose computer algebra systems (CAS) like S...

I have just realized that I have overlooked some important e-mails due to Gmail's automatic e-mail grouping in conversations. Typically, this is a pretty useful feature to reduce the count, but so...
I also had the problem that I couldn't tell which tab was active -- in particular in dark mode they looked all the same. To fix this I'm using https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix This set...
How can I Google to see all titles on a public library, like Toronto's, that have ≥ n copies? n is a natural number and UNBOUNDED. I see no relevant operator here. What must I input along with sit...

This problem is not generally solvable, because there is no universal "Android phone app", and that is what is responsible for showing you a particular display name. Google supplies an open-source...
This is a broad topic, and I can't address all the details fully in one post. Instead, I will post an overview with enough keywords in each area, and leave it to the reader (and other questions) to...
