A: How to add vertical line in the middle of two marks on image If you have access to the source of the image, fix the code instead of messing with the image. This will be much more accurate and result in a higher quality result. You could add the lines via latex (texlive is available via the usual linux package managers, but is often already installed b... (more) |

Can you please add more information about the setup *you* use? What version of outlook do you have? How do the images look like embedded vs. attached? What are their physical size? What file size do they have? (more) |

Your question does not contain enough information. Do you have other backups of the videos or are they the only backups? How important are they for you? Just a nice to have or would it be a catastrophe if you'd lose them? Also does the speed of your computer bother you? (more) |

A: Using "Print using system dialogue" as default in Firefox Good news! With Firefox Nightly 102.0a1 there is now an option in `about:config` called print.prefersystemdialog If this is set to true, the system print dialogue will be used automatically. (more) |

It might also be worth having a look into the browser console (on Firefox `shift+cmd+J`) in case some error is shown there. Do offline videos work when this happens? For example does the video preview in finder still work or does Quick Time still work? (more) |

"You don't [mention] any advantages of "cross posting"." None of these advantages are tied to copying posts verbatim. You can still have all these advantages if you reword your questions in an original and well presented way. Yes, that's a bit more work, but it would increase the chances to get a use... (more) |

"I never stated that ..." That's also one of the roots of the problem. You've been asked if you are the author maybe a dozen times, but we never got any reply ( [example](https://powerusers.codidact.com/comments/thread/5096#comment-14868) ). How shall we judge if a question violets the license if you... (more) |

"And I didn't know imgur can be blocked!" That's kind of the problem. There are several comments explaining this and asking you to not abuse the image hosting facilities of other sites, but you never react to such comments ( [example](https://powerusers.codidact.com/comments/thread/5095#comment-14867...

A: Please don't presume cross posting from me. The url might not have been the best one to pick, but given that the question is verbatim the same as on other Q&A sites, I still think the presumption of a x-post is not so far fetched...

Not a general solution, but for ddg in particular, you can activate dark mode in the settings https://powerusers.codidact.com/uploads/xhHDK7vsMuLsEwGvmZJomBvd or https://powerusers.codidact.com/uploads/C5ezLhewXtfawvLdxJocTTAs

A: Activate `Prefer tabs when opening documents` only for one application The setting can be changed on a per application basis with ``` defaults write -app terminal AppleWindowTabbingMode -string always ``` (replace `terminal` with the name of the app you want to change) Important: this only works if the application in question is not running.
