I do this with AAs. Basically put the side with the bump (positive) on the tip of the tongue and touch the flat (negative) side with a wet finger. It gives out a mild but distinctive ‘taste’, not enough to tingle but definitely something I am able to notice, when the cell has decent juice.

Yes, i think squid proxy would do the trick too. It even has installers for windows.

Thank you! This is what I was looking for.

This looks like a great collection of things that are exactly what I’m looking for and I’m surprised I never saw this mentioned when I was looking for things.

Just a question. It says it’s built around KDE. Will it work right on vanilla Debian without jumping through many hoops? I can get around quite well in the Linux world but some things still make me stumble.

I’ve heard only good things about world building games like Minecraft but I personally never could really get into it. Maybe I’ll give it another shot. Thanks!

I guess this is going to need the use of a mouse and so not suitable for the TV setup. But my child likes paint programmes so I’ll figure out the best way to let them explore this without messing with my laptop. Thanks!

Looks interesting indeed. Thanks!

Look at the silver lining. At least their computers must have escaped the recent windows BSOD.

ViMusic has not been updated in quite some time. RiMusic is actively being developed.

I wish there was something for HP 800 G3s. I bought them used after a lot of deliberations and would love to keep it running for as long as I can while not losing out on functionalities.

Yeah, I’m not wishing for two pointers either. The current setup with Remote Mouse software allows two devices to move the single pointer at the same time but since kdeconnect software allows sharing of files and notifications from phone onto the PC, I’m not sure how connecting two devices will work. Guess I’ll figure it out as I set it up.

I came across a reference to kdeconnect while reading related stuff but I really looked it up after your comment. I’m using Debian on my machine and am currently using free version of Remote Mouse which allows very limited actions without posting. Kdeconnect sounds like it could take care of that and more. I just hope it supports two person controlling the same PC.

This will be in complimentary to a physical button IR remote that I’m aiming to implement after this post. Thanks.

I’ll have to read up on what you mean using IR remotes to control a Pi through HDMI HEC. The computer I’m using has an DP output that I’ve used an adapter to feed to my TV HDMI. So I may not be able to use your setup. But it sounds novel and interesting so I would definitely like to learn more. Thanks.

That sounds like a good approach. I’ll try and explore this. Thanks.

I’m setting up a media PC for my TV using refurbished hardware. The biggest pain right now is controlling the interface. I got one of those cheap keyboards with trackpads but they stopped working in a month. Reading this post makes me wonder if I can reuse one of the old IR remotes lying around in my home. Generating shortcut keys and binding them might be easy but what can be done for text/voice to text input?

No, that’s not it. I’m comfortably safe at 8 gigs.

That’s the thing, I’m not closing the application on Android. Just switching to another application.

No, I got that but like I said, it is just a force of habit for me to use private window during my web use. I need to use internet on multiple systems as part of my work and it’s just become natural for me to open a private session to search and do stuff and not to leave any login sessions open by mistake.

But I reading the replies makes me realise that it must be android’s aggressive battery saving tricks that kills Firefox active private sessions. But it is sad that I’m noticing this only for Firefox while Brave browser is exempt. Maybe because it is chromium based.

I’m trying hard to make Firefox my main browser on my phone. Out of habit, I browse in Private Mode and bookmark stuff I want to remember. Every so often though, Firefox closes the open private tabs when switch between apps. There is no real way to replicate this so I can submit a bug report. I’m not sure what I can do about it.

Good of them to bring the add ons though, I’ll keep persisting with the fox.

If you look at the image linked below you can see some arms in the closed position with a hole in the middle where the rocket can stand. They are just used as a platform to join various stages of the rockets.

Prior to launch, these arms are just opened up as seen in the original post.
