Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970)

In my humble opinion, Italian high-pressure coffee is the best. The Greek/Turkish variant, namely brewing the coffee powder, letting it steep for a very short time, filtering it with a metal sieve and - if necessary with the addition of sugar and milk - the second best. In order to find out the tast...

Solved?
Maybe the problem has been solved by software - but what kind of coffee are we talking about?
- Greek/Turkish
- Italian espresso (steam, high pressure)
- so-called "espresso"
- Nescafé deep frozen
- warm brown liquid... ?

Good Morning I downloaded e installed both Zim and Recoll. Now I'll decide for which one. Thanks a lot. Those answers were very helpful. Osmario A little supplement: Zim = manages text entries and is very easy to use. Recoll = is a search engine for texts of all kinds. The two programs complement e...

A bit off topic but perhaps useful:
On a Swiss keyboard you can find German with all umlauts as well as French with all accents.
Very handy for all those who repeatedly enter texts in different languages...

Hello Osmario maybe you can use these two applications to manage your texts and search for keywords: Zim Zim brings the power of a wiki to your desktop, providing a neat and structured way to take notes and record your thoughts. Each page in Zim is automatically saved as text file with wiki markup, ...

To make it even worse: the drive is encrypted. I know my password for mint, but I do not have in this country the encryption key back up.

Hello carum carvi

always nice to see a reaction to the own crap...
Yes, within Europe etools.ch is very useful with its filtering by countries.

Google is still unbeatable in image search.

Addendum: Your Mac is over 10 years old and 4GB of RAM seems to be the maximum in this version. I would try the Linux Mate and Xfce versions I mentioned in the Virtualbox (it's really simple on the Mac...) and then install the version you like best. The stupid thing about iMacs is the built-in hard ...

Hello David

your iMac is older than I thought. An upgrade is not worth it, unless you get the RAM's for free...
Forget Mint 19 Cinnamon. Linux Mint Mate or Xfce 18.3 would somehow run on your device - Mint 17.3 would be better, but is about to expire.

I would recommend MX Linux.

If nothing else, Apple is certainly good at marketing.

Capitalism + Globalism + Communism = Cupertinism

If you tell me a little more about your iMac (CPU, year of manufacture, etc., all visible via the Apple icon in the upper left corner, first entry > about this Mac), I may be able to help you. Before overwriting the entire hard disk you can also try Linux Mint in the Oracle Virtualbox. Under macOS t...

As a long-time user of Apple computers, I was shocked at the introduction of the iPhone OS and its capabilities. And still I am. iOS is not simple but stupid. As a typical Mac user, I was looking for the Finder in iOS. Finder??? Nada, niente, nothing. My data, my folders something like that and a pr...

Hello Helmut
you have also tried older versions of Mint Mate e.g. 17.3 or 18.3?
My 2009 Acer netbook (Atom N270) still runs quite well with Mint Mate 18.3 - at least better than it ever did with the limited Windows 7.
However, upgraded from 1 GB to 2 GB RAM...

I don't like Blender as well, seems counter-intuitive program for me. While I have sorta have to agree on Blender, to be fair it isn't a CAD program. CAD has some different needs then general 3d modeling and animation software. For general 3d stuff, that's one area where Linux isn't shorthanded. So...
