Re: File transfer alternatives

I don't get file transfer apps. I plug in a USB cable and I can transfer files much faster than over WiFi and it charges my phone at the same time. I just tried the Local USB Cable on my Samsung Note20 and it does not appear, even though I check ALLOW, back when I have a Note5, yeah, it worked, but...

Re: Do I need a separate scanner driver for Canon MF4890dw

I used an alternate method of installing the Canon printers in my home. I dual booted up into Windows, and followed the URL provided in the Canon Owner's guide, it found the printer on my local WiFi and installed everything. Once that was done, I rebooted into LM21.3 Cinnamon and Mint found the prin...

Re: Foxclone support thread

is it reasonable for a SDD to last only about 2 1/2 years?
never had one fail on me yet, and I have about 5 or 6 of them in use.
the oldest goes back to when they first came out

"Best" Camera App for video conference?

I have an upcoming video conference with a court room, and I don't have any apps installed for Zoom or other web video stuff,

what seems to work best with most of the conference type stuff the courts use?

Re: LO Calc refusing to format dates

it appears to me,
that the only way to fix this

is to create a brand new date Column, and Enter each Date MANUALLY.

that will then force the Date Order as I have specified.

that will burn up a lot of time... the file is large, I just uploaded a small segment of it.

Re: LO Calc refusing to format dates

I stripped the file of personal info, just left the dates and description, and sanitized that also. what is interesting, even though I scroll to each Date Cell individually, and force it to the desired Date Format, it does not change the order in how it gets sorted, or will it accept the new date fo...

Re: Battery life in Linux

Thanks very much for sharing your experience Oklahoma :) That's a good point with the screen brightness, will keep that in mind. So with having the laptop plugged into the wall socket all the time, do you limit the max charge (to say 80%) using software or do you just keep it at 100% all of the tim...

XED cursor just turned BLACK -- Oops pressed Insert Key

XED has always shown me the cursor position, but never as a solid black Rectangle.

I just noticed this tonight, it was not there yesterday.

any idea what happened?
two updates came through, most of them were Flatpaks, but I never look to see what the others were.
