I'm trying to install Ubuntu. I got to the "Installation type" screen and I have 3 options but none of them allow me to continue. The button stays light gray no matter what.
I answered a question and it was accepted then later refused. Now my problem is that a useful bit to the question was left out.
Now I see this bit in another answer, would it be wrong for me to:
update my answer and add the bit I left out
would this be considered stealing from another answer
...
I had asked a question some time back and it got closed as I did not respond to the notice to modify it. I later did and up till now the questio has not received any attention.
I don't know if my update edit was accepted or not, and if not I can re-edit to re-open the question.
Is there a speci...
TIL that if you put cell phone into power mode, it shuts off the transmitting and receiving capability, which means it saves power and thus charging battery in airplane mode is faster. Also, reenabling airplane mode connects you to nearest cell tower, so turning on and off airplane mode makes you find better signal !
I managed to change the thermal paste on my notebook CPU
I had some trouble figuring some things out, it seemed much easier when I was doing this kind of stuff on my old desktop, on a notebook everything looks so fragile, and the manual could give a little bit more details
but it's done, and I think I can notice a temperature drop already :)
@IanC Heh, nice. I went into a store yesterday and bought a laptop base with a fan and a tube of thermal paste. I know myself well enough to guess how likely it is I'll change the paste anytime soon :)
I did it myself mostly because if I went on some repair store they would charge me 80 bucks easily to do the cleaning+thermal paste change
after you figure out the details of how to open the notebook it's actually quite easy, just don't do it with the desktop mentality of "If it doesn't come out, pull it harder" and you should be fine :p
some dudes told us that we picked a bad day to start, the swell was building up, winds were increasing. By the time we were coming back we were by one side of the channel, and waves were crashing at some rocks really hard. Like the foam would fly 8ft high easily. Then we needed to cross the channel, but there was a ship coming out of the docks. I had to made a decision between risking staying besides the rocks and maybe be pushed to it by the ship waves, or try to cross quickly @Serg
In the end I decided to try to cross, we were paddling hard, ship was getting a bit larger (it was a small container ship), the captain even sounded the horn at us, probably to induce us to go faster, it didn't get that close. But seeing a few tons cargo ship coming at us made me forget the tired arms I guess haha @Serg
@cl-netbox haven't given up yet. although i should. and no vodka. I've a bottle of bourbon and bottle of korean raspberry wine, which i probably will be finishing after this semester is over. drinking my sorrows away
@IanC all fine ... thanks ... except one thing : yesterday I answered a question here - OP gave me a downvote and edited the question by adding information I did not have before ... I deleted that answer ... what a waste of time ! :)
@IanC Because downvote and edit of the question happened exactly at the same time ... I saw it live ... I had the tab open at that moment ! :)
@IanC It is ... but in this case I am about 95 % sure it was the OP ... also, he didn't respond to my comment I left for him after I had deleted my answer ...
I'm at the point where downvotes don't bother me. I've rep to spare so don't care about it so much. What i do care about is comments. If you don't communicate with me, i won't know what is wrong with my answer, so won't spend more time om improving it
@Serg small vim doubt before I leave, the book I'm reading gave a tip on checking the delete buffers: "1p + u + . + u ...
it would put the first delete buffer, then undo, then put the second, undo and so on.. so you could check all buffers for the one you wanted
I was just a little confused how the . (repeat last command) would increase the buffer number
I found this on :help .:
. Repeat last change, with count replaced with [count].
Also repeat a yank command, when the 'y' flag is
included in 'cpoptions'. Does not repeat a
command-line command.
So everytime I use the repeat last change, any counter I've on the command will be increased?
oh, I think I found it on :help redo-register! Maybe it's easier to just use :display though
Seriously though. You go to all the effort of capitalizing the first word, and name, of the sentence, adding correct punctuation in the form of a comma, making a semi-literate joke and yet you still can't type the bloody word for please!
@Serg but if the bacteria doesn't make you ill, then it probably makes you stronger, whereas pollution probably accumulates and gives you cancer/allergies/other random bad things
@Zanna depends on the type of bacteria. See, this is one of those things that have 50 shades of gray and maybe purple on the sides and maybe a few invisible wavelengths
@ByteCommander can confirm, did that in comp org class. pain in azz. also writing complete java program on paper with all indentation is bs. Comp Sci department needs to invest into computers
