Brrr, the official English translation of the explanation blurb for the Dutch Corona virus app is bad. I automatically read it with a heavy accented voice in my head. CoronaMelder is the official Dutch coronavirus notification app, developed under supervision by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. The app digitally helps Municipal Public Health Service’s (GGD) with their source and contact research. |

Grumble...:-( Someone messing with the boards? Been logging in every day, reading new posts. Just logged in to find 5 threads with new posts that doesn't have any. |

Is someone has been moving/hiding posts then this can happen - very confusing to us poor victims of such reality :-( |

I know. But considering the threads, find that hard to believe, for example, "Will Dragon lift off today? Can't imagine that having posts moved. |

No, but spammers are no respecters of subject, they just want to annoy people..... |

The cookies for older threads will eventually decay, making old threads that are still open pop up like new threads. Happens to me too. |

Weirdness and I don't think it is all cookie related, seems to be more related to server backups. If it was cookie decay then all of the very old threads would be showing as unread, but they aren't. I do know spam removal will mark new messages in threads, because there was one even if it was deleted. Now individual messages in a thread may be a different story than the thread itself. |

Mozilla Firefox on Android changed to a completely new browser. Which meant I immediately lost my extensions - because no updates for the ones I use - and the top sites I used. It will also keep all tabs open when I close the browser. They say it's quicker than the previous one, so why am I waiting for over 15 seconds per page for something to load? Can't go back to a previous version either, because then it will make a new user ID and I have to start over again anyway. I don't mind making new apps, but make sure you finish it before you release it. Now it feels like Breakpoint, which is still broken on all sides. I'm about to ditch FF for Chrome. |

I was in this situation once. Turns out that the tiny little receiver was stored inside the mouse, in the battery compartment. |

Yup, either there, or it's in the keyboard. |

Yup, either there, or it's in the keyboard. Actually stuck into a little slot in the box. I had already looked in the mouse. XUbuntu now installing. |

Just got the forced update to the latest Mozilla Firefox on Android few minutes ago and ALL my adblock and anti tracking extensions won't work unless the addon developers update their code to work with the new version of Firefox. 🤐 Then there's this "politically incorrect" statement from the developers on the what was Firefox is removing terminology from the browser that has been identified as derogatory or exclusionary. We’re listening to conversations happening within the Mozilla community and in the world at large, and are paying attention when people tell us that some terms we use in Firefox exclude and damage people. I don't need my web browser to kiss the a$$ of the PC people. |

Grumble: Copying data from old core2duo to Ryzen. Every other thing I do, I seem to use the wrong mouse so the pointer doesn't move! |

It's very weird that uBlock Origin had an extension ready at launch time (in July) and that we're now at the end of August and other blockers still aren't updated. But then uBlock doesn't block all adverts, it allows some that it considers 'needed'. |

Grumble: No power to usb3 ports at front of case. They will read USB sticks but not external USB3 hard drive. Will phone PCSpecialist in morning to find out if this is something put together wrongly or a design flaw. Edit: Pretty sure it is a mistake putting it together. Now need to decide whether reading MB handbook will be quicker than speaking to them on the phone. Really don't want to send it back and have to wait. |

Grumble: Depends on the hard drive. Some older drives need auxiliary +5V power because the standard 900mA on a port is not enough to start the drive spindles. I have one like that. A 2.5" spinning rust drive in an external enclosure. Have to have both the USB-B connector and a secondary 2.1mm coaxial power plug plugged in before the drive is able to transfer data. Also check your BIOS for a setting to supply battery charging capabilities to your USB3 ports. Normally, the front mounted ones. |
