Thanks trytip. I installed winetricks but I get one error after another so I am giving up for now.

Thanks but that sounds like more complicated than I want to get into right now. I think I'll wait.

I am trying to run Sketchup 8 with WINE but I get an error saying it cannot find "Microsoft.VC80.CRT". fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" (8.0.50727.6195) fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.C...

I just tell people that the last Windows OS I know anything about is Windows XP. This has the advantage of being the truth.

Alas but the laptop only has space for one hard drive!

Every time I post the same thing I get the same reply which I immediately forget. I blame it on old age. Sorry about that.

This is a story often heard. I do not understand why people insist in setting up two OS on the same drive when it is so liable to give problems and if the drive dies you are doubly screwed. The cost of disk space these days is so low that it is not worth trying to save a penny. Just install each OS ...

NB: the very latest version of Teamviewer is Not Currently available in the LinuxMint Repositories, & thus will only be available via an direct download. :o but it will auto-update, once it is installed via it's *.deb file. I installed V14 and it almost immediate updated to V14.1.18533 which is wha...

The last "workable" Teamviewer is 32-bit version 12

I was using V12 but they were aggressively warning it will stop working soon and you need to update. Since you need to go through their servers to connect there is no way to get around that.

They've been out a while and do not seem to be getting much traction. I think latitude and longitude may be a tad longer but easier to understand by everybody.

I am not commenting on Chromium specifically but I find it extremely irritating when I try to open a page and my browser (not Chromium) freezes because it is waiting to download something which is not downloading due to bad connection or whatever. Maybe it has to be that way but today's pages are so...

OK, I think I have determined what triggered the "commercial use suspected" message. In my LAN I use a computer as a router to the Internet. All the computers on the network had been using Teamviewer without problem. Except I had never used Teamviewer on the router computer itself. Then I ran Teamvi...

Oh, I had not thought that I might have problems and have to return to Android. If I install another OS can I later re-install Android? In fact, this phone comes with some ATT-specific version and I would rather have a generic version. Is that possible?

Thanks, I already saw a Youtube video showing how to do the replacement. I know I could do it but I think I would rather pay someone who has some practice and that would save me time and frustration. It seems the battery itself is the greater part of the cost. I would probably use it with a battery ...

Thanks, I see there is a version of lineageOS for my phone (470 MB!) but I will have to learn how to install it because I haven't the foggiest idea. The good thing is that I can risk playing around because it is not a phone I am using. In fact it was given to me because the battery hardly holds a ch...

Thanks Moem and absquefenestris , that looks interesting. I am afraid I know nothing about Android and have no idea how I would go about installing LineageOS if that is possible. I will look into it. In any case, I am finding out that to install most apps you need to register with a Google account s...

Thanks all for your input. I have been away and this was put on a back burner. When I have time I will get back to this issue. For years I have been thinking I should learn Arduino but i keep putting it off. I need to climb that first step.

I was just gifted a (used) Samsung S7 Edge (with a battery on the fringe). My wife said "put a SIM card in it and try it" but I preferred not to. I turned it on and connected to that home's wifi and it instantly told me exact location and weather etc. Android (Google), keeps track of wifi access poi...

I have recommended Teamviewer repeatedly, here and elsewhere. It is simple, does what it is supposed to do, and runs on Windows and Linux. Now they make you upgrade to version 14 which tells you "commercial use suspected" and pretty much shuts you out. That is my experience with Windows. Now I want ...

Talking about marriage my boss once said to me "with my marriage you could make a movie like Romeo and Juliet ... but with a sad ending".

I would like to log events like closing of switches. Very simple requirements. Log, in a text file, time and change in switch status. First problem to resolve is how to get the info to the PC. My machine has a serial DB9 connector and that seems to me like the simplest way to interface. I would have...
