A: Is the mouse cursor in the Power User logo an accessibility problem? Not really an accessibility issue, but this mouse pointer confused me to no end.

My current workaround is to block t... (more) |

This mouse pointer confused me to no end. I can't count how often I was looking for my mouse on the screen and wondering why it wouldn't move - solved the problem by blocking the image with my adblocker :) (more) |

@#8049 Nice idea! As far as I can tell Rstudio uses an absolute path, but it turns out this path can be customised in `.Rprofile` via `Sys.setenv(RSTUDIO_PANDOC="/path/to/some/folder/")`, so I could point it to a wrapper script which adds the verbose option to the call. If you would like to write an ... (more) |

A: Setting a cookie with a userscript @Canina had the brilliant idea to make my userscript reload the page in case the cookie did not exist previously. Using this idea, my userscript now works like this: Greasemonkey version ``` // ==UserScript== // @name test // @match ://example.com/ // @run-at documen... (more) |

Setting a cookie with a userscript Background: I'm using a websites which uses a pin code locally stored in a cookie for login. As firefox does not recognise the field to input the pin as a password field, it won't store the password for me. To avoid having to remember the pin myself, I'm using a greasemonkey user script to aut... (more) |

"Users here may not control whether later other websites cross post them" this would be true for sites which automatically scrap other sites, but this hardly applies if you copy your posts to other sites like reddit or the teamviewer forum.

A: Why did samcarter delete my post, simply because later other websites cross posted it? I deleted the post because it was verbatim the same post as on several other sites, in particular it has been cross posted on - https://www.reddit.com/r/teamviewer/comments/xr2row/afterdisablingpasswordsonremoteteamviewer/ - https://www.reddit.com/r/teamviewer/comments/xr3e3v/afterdisablingpassw...

@#56802 Unrelated to the question, but if you have control over the source, consider using another format than png. If you can export to pdf, svg or similar, you will have much better quality for this type of graphic than if you use a pixelated format like png (more) |

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) |

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) |
