When one syncs to Google (Gmail), what all is saved there to download to the phone after reset / to a new phone? Never done that, but will probably need to in the near future. I need to save contacts, calendar, & SMS messages. Whatsapp clearly indicates its messages cannot be transferred to a...

I have P7 Cinturatos on my car as well. Decent tyres. BTW, I read somewhere (AS Technica?) a day or two ago that Audi is in the shithouse for having defeat devices on petrol models as well. Didn't read the whole article.

What's with the cat?

Thanks Lunar.

Tannin, my copy of Foxit Editor (not reader) is several years old. Since I had paid for it, and it is a perpetual licence, I continue to use it for my minimal editing needs. Coug, where are you seeing this info? I can't seem to find the webs site for PDF Xchange; it's mostly pox sites like...

159 MB for a codec? No kidding!

I've been using Foxit for the last several years (I bought their basic editor). It's better than Acrobat. But for maximum compatibility, for fillable forms issued by government and financial institutions, I have to fall back on Acrobat. I have both installed, with Foxit the default.

I think Handy has an LG phone, not Samsung. The Play store has 3rd party apps that will back up core Android-related data on non-rooted phones. For data stored in apps downloaded by you, unless the app itself offers a backup, there's probably not a lot you can do.

That was scary; you certainly need to change your locks! You don't feel the need for a monitored alarm system?

The White House has locks that are supposedly unpickable. They were, in half an hour, in a demo. The company that makes those locks tried to suppress that info. Can't remember names now. I absolutely wouldn't trust those locks that can be opened with your phone etc. Chewy made some valid...

Canadian immigration website crashes on Trump win. Repubs also won the Senate and the House. Clean sweep. Though to what extent they'll support Trump is unknown.

It's Trump :frowner:

So, did all you Americans vote?

New forum appears to work fine.

I didn't know about this site. Tannin mentioned the "other site" on SR. I asked which one it was, and then came here and registered.

This is a new problem, so I'm thinking it's related to Chrome, not forum sw.

That must have been waaaaaay back!

I'm on W10, Chrome Version 54.0.2840.71 m (64-bit), and it's ignoring space bar for me since yesterday if I reply with quote. Extensions are Adblock Plus, Flashcontrol, Ghostery and Allow Copy. Definitely annoying!

Why? Isn't public good the aim of government? If it isn't, why have a government at all?

Thanks heavens. At least you're not calling it Altoids now.

Thanks.

You're right as always, Chewy, and quite precise. Sometimes, like Lunar said, there's so much stuff hitting the fan it's tiring to post it all.

When I had bought my D700, I had also bought a Sandisk Firewire Compact Flash reader which I used a few times. Firewire created problems on my PC, so I pulled the add-on card out. Had to fall back on my 2006 era card reader. 286 Files, 2.87 GB 14:20 mins:secs to copy from card to PC using...

:dunno: Are you saying :thumbright: or :nono:

How's Doctor Strange? The local newspaper review gave it 4/5 stars. Said plot was meh, but the effects were great.

Thanks Newtun. I did see these, but didn't post because apparently the Windows flaws don;t affect Win 10, and most everybody is now on it, including laggards like me. There is also a Flash vulnerability, but hey, what's new about that??!!

Naw. I'm paranoid about handing my data over to an outsider.

Yuk.

Yup. Though the current PM is very clean, and he's cut down high-level (large-scale) corruption to a phenomenal extent.

This seems to be happening everywhere, especially with Chinese made panels that they are flooding the market with.

A credit-card sized pfSense-based firewall. 2 x 1Gb ports. Sorry, didn't find any other reasonable place to post this. Mods, please move if necessary.

Thank you Merc, will check it out.

Yup. Cops here aren't the brightest bulb (problem starts with the recruiting stage). The head guy behind this scam apparently has made USD 75M.

Some relief is here: Cops arrest hundreds of people allegedly involved in IRS phone scam It was on the front page of the newspapers here a few days ago, but I didn't have time then to find an online version to link to. Hope this helps you!

ABP is what I use. Link for the Greasemonkey script, please? Is Greasemonky only for Firefox? There is a huge movement here against China because of their bullying others in the region. I keep telling them good luck. Almost every damn mobile or computing equipment you buy today is made in...

AFAIK, no car manufacturer. That's pretty telling. But the aussies here can inform you better. Thanks, Sed. I'll have to try it and see.

In other news, more and more websites are refusing me access because I have Ad Blocker. This has become very aggressive lately. Grrrrr.

The last Ford made in Australia rolled of the assembly line. Ford, GM Holden, Toyota have all ceased manufacturing in Oz.

If you're short-sighted, your close-up vision is generally good; I'n not talking about people with powers like -10 etc. They're blind without their glasses. I always read newspapers without my glasses, but everything at medium distance and out is blurred without glasses. Heck, even with my...

Moderate amounts of sugar, salt and animal protein are fine. But colas are so bad on so many levels, STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!

Chocolate can, in very high amounts, but I don't think chocolate is a major part of Merc's diet. Wikipedia says "High dietary intake of animal protein, sodium, refined sugars, fructose and high fructose corn syrup, oxalate, grapefruit juice, and apple juice may increase the risk of kidney stone...

He'll have to change his diet. Certain foods result in more kidney stones.

How? I read a news item that MS had stopped asking people to update and forcibly doing it because we are well past the deadline for the free upgrade.

Yup. New Thinkpads used to come with a spare cap or two. I never did learn where to get more.

Thanks. Not sure they give them here. I've been meaning to go to an allergist, but somehow haven't been able to. This is what puts me off the idea - the fact that one has to keep getting them.

I'm some sort of champ on allergies. I think I'm goddamn allergic to life. I've been tested once for ~ 20 odd things, but need to go tested for dozens more.
