Ouch, having to uninstall and reinstall apps is harsh. :-(

Thank you! I've started this process (they say it will take some time). I have no idea how they verify that the account holder is making the request, but I have access to his iCloud password, email, and phone, all gates I had to pass through in order to make the request in the first place, so here'...

How do I download everything stored in iCloud? I am trying to handle the digital affairs of a departed family member. The person had an iCloud account, which I am able to log into (I have the password and the 2FA device). There's about 40G of data stored there, only some of it backups from his Apple devices. I am looking for a way to download ... (more) |

I wouldn't have thought of Selenium (which I've heard of but not used), so thanks for that. (And yes, I'm self-hosting, so I don't need to worry about angry admins.) (more) |

I'll edit to clarify. I'm not asking for help on the scripting part; in fact, I've already transformed that spreadsheet into suitable blocks of markdown source. I'm just asking about the DokuWiki side of actually getting those pages (with the needed metadata) into the wiki. (more) |

How can I do a one-time data import to DokuWiki to create many pages? I am new to DokuWiki and have done the basic setup for a private wiki. I want to use it as an alternative to a spreadsheet I've been using to track my ratings and other notes for a category of products. (The spreadsheet hasn't been workable for me on my phone.) I am creating pages, one per specific ... (more) |

How can I disable channel drag and drop in Discord? When using Discord in a web browser, on a server where I have admin privileges, I sometimes find that I've accidentally moved a channel, which affects everyone on the server and can affect channel permissions, so that's bad. You move channels by clicking and dragging, but apparently the interface is... (more) |

What does this suspicious URL structure do? I (well, my spam trap) received email that I know is a scam, but I'm trying to understand how it works. The message contains a URL of the following form: https:/example.com:2096/?gotoapp=SomethingWithoutAnExtension The single `/` after the protocol is suspicious, and I assume the key to a ... (more) |

I need to learn how to use `git bisect`, now that you mention it... (Though this particular bug might be easier to find through code inspection than through testing. Not sure, but it's kind of a weird one.) (more) |

I found `git` questions both here and there, and this felt like more of a "user" question than a "programmer" question to me. (I mean, I use git to back my blog, too... but that's not the repo with the bug I'm trying to find, to be fair.) It would fit fine on either community, I think. (more) |

Ah! Thanks. I don't need a GUI; a URL that I can construct is enough of a UI. (Feel free to write an answer. :-) )

How can I filter GitHub commits by date range, in a friendlier way than git log? We have a repository hosted on GitHub. I'm trying to track down a bug and have narrowed the date range for when it could have been introduced. I would like to easily review commits in that date range, and ideally I'd like to get other team members to help in this review. I know that from the com... (more) |

How can I transmit my current location to someone else's phone? My partner and are are sometimes in the position of trying to find each other in a large or crowded space (like a convention center, or if one of us is driving to pick up the other somewhere). We both have phones; it would be great if I could have mine send my location to his (or vice versa) so that... (more) |

A: What technical steps can I take to reduce Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and discomfort from heavy computer use? Mouse usage is a big factor (and was the culprit for my tendonitis). Learning the keyboard shortcuts for your most common operations means not having to jump to the mouse so often. Remember the arrow and page up/down keys, too. Unless you're hardcore, though, you won't get away from the mouse en... (more) |

Should posting on Meta affect reputation? When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorry. Do you want us to change posts on Meta to not award rep for upvotes or subtract it for downvotes? ... (more) |

Good idea! We gave mods the ability to grant individual abilities so that y'all can override what's in the code (or, in this case, not yet in the code). I'm sorry we haven't implemented tag wiki reviews yet (which blocks this). (more) |

A: Tags page shows [microsoft-excel] x 7 but clicking on this tag shows no questions There are several deleted questions with that tag, so I'm guessing that the tags page is reporting the number of all questions instead of all visible questions. It shouldn't do that; thanks for the bug report. Update 2024-01-24: this bug is now fixed. The tags list counts only visible posts, not... (more) |

Does pull work? You ask at the end about making all remote operations work, but I can't tell from the question if anything other than push failed. And has this failed in multiple repositories? (Just trying to isolate the problem. You've probably tried all this already.) (more) |

How do I get the Pixel (Android 12) to show the incoming phone number for probable spam? I have a Pixel 5A running Android 12 (I assume stock Android because it's a Pixel, but I don't know how to tell). The phone app that came with it reports probable spam or scam calls by labeling them "Scam Likely" or "Spam Likely" in the caller-ID slot. All good so far. My previous phone, a ZTE A... (more) |

Anything interesting showing up in your device drivers? It sounds like something is intercepting it, perhaps based on some property of the newer camera that the older one doesn't have. That's just a guess. (more) |

@#53696 did you mark this answer "outdated" because you changed the question after it was posted to something that no longer fits? Editing a question to invalidate answers is bad form; going on to mark answers as "outdated" because of the edit is *really* bad form. (more) |

Voice would be less bad than direct touch, but automation would still be better. (The issue is avoiding computer use (and other electronics) on Shabbat.) The cat would be better too, but cats aren't known for doing what you want them to do. :-)
