@nixCraft 👋

@nixCraft hey, Belgium banned tiktok in 1830

@nixCraft or with a multifunctional: I only want to scan

TIL conditional formatting in #LibreOffice calc goes wrong when your compare values are on another sheet and you save as xls file: the sheet reference gets dropped

Maybe it's a xls limitation, and mybe I should check the resulting xls before mailing it 🙄

@nixCraft BASIC
Because my uncle was a dev and had a TRS-80 at home. He had a book on games in BASIC and whenever I went babysitting I could play around.
It had two 8-inch floppy drives but since I didn't know how to load/save files, whatever I did was gone when I switched off the machine.
(early 80's)

@nixCraft 💯

@arstechnica Goodbye human, I hope you live.

@nixCraft should try to use the same profile for 15+ years, no need to keep any tab open to see FF take 20 seconds at full disk load to start. Just google firefox loads slow high disk activity

@nixCraft oh yes!

as my youngest has to use Google Drive to store her homework before uploading it to school, I do hope this doesn't turn into a 'Google ate my homework' disaster

@arstechnica

@arstechnica all this noise for what appears to be the infotainment unit caching the messages for display 🤷♂️
