Re: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
I do live just south of Minneapolis, and I grew up in North Dakota just south of Winnipeg. When we studied geography, I found the climate difference between our area and the UK very odd, since on the globe both the upper midwest of the US and the UK are about the same distance from the equator, yet ...

Re: HP 1510 PRINTER
My wife likes to make simple activity items. Word find puzzles, drawings for coloring, mazes, find the hidden figures are sort of her forte. She would then put them into simple booklets, and back before we were happily retired, she would bundle them up and sell them to Sunday school programs, day ca...

Re: Aliexpress 2TB hard drive worked for 15 minutes
That picture is wonderful. UK travel posters are a land of castles and funky houses on meandering roads. It appears that AliExpress has done an excellent job of cloning blah American suburban sprawl and selling it in the UK
I do have to say though that Leatherhead, is a very cool name for a town.

Re: KDE 5.27 released
I had been looking at Kubuntu Focus which uses KDE Plasma 5.24 LTS. I took a fresh look at Endeavour OS, which is now up to KDE Plasma 5.27.0 the latest. In honesty I do not seem much difference. KDE jumps in with lots of features, planning to polish them up in the future. They do polish things up, ...

Re: Aliexpress 2TB hard drive worked for 15 minutes
I have purchased from Chinese companies in the past with good success. I have always bought direct from the mfg and this was my first use of Aliexpress. I have no idea who made it. The address on the drive is UK, POBox 471, Leatherhead, KT22 2LU, UK. I sent them a message saying it did not work. The...

Aliexpress 2TB hard drive worked for 15 minutes
The 2TB drive I ordered from AliExpress came with this mornings mail. It formatted OK. I went to copy a 128GB thumb drive to the new drive. It copied a couple moves, then the new HD disappeared, and the copy reported it failed because it lost contact with the destination drive. It has not shown up a...

Pinebook Pro and Endless OS 5
A while back while trying to install Endeavour OS on the Pinebook Pro I installed the Nix boot loader. It is a flash to the spi so it is a persistent part of the laptop now. Endless 5 has and image for the Pinebook Pro. I downloaded it and used Raspberry Pi Imager to put it on a thumbdrive. Using th...

Re: Endless OS 5 released today.
The OS info is the Gnome version used by the DE and is part of OSTree. It will not update until Endless does a system update. The Gnome info on the applications refers to the Gnome/flatpak runtime environment the application is using. My main Endless install started with Endless 3 and has been updat...

Re: The weather has been crazy
So the weatherman as is pretty common got it wrong. It only got to a -10 last night and wind died down, so it is not too bad out. The sun is shining brightly, it is dead calm. No pipes froze, the house is 60 and all is well in the world. I went out for a walk last night before bed. It was a drop dea...
