I’ve been dreading booting back into Windows recently because I upgraded my motherboard/CPU and know they are going to make me buy another license.

Windows tends to be better at this these days. If this does happen though, go through the activation process and start the troubleshooter. There’s an option there to transfer the licence from another machine. You should be able to transfer it from the same machine if Windows thinks it’s a new one.

This assumes that it’s the same version of Windows, but in your case it shouldn’t be changing 👍

I’ve genuinely seen a post asking for help because DISM wouldn’t run, where the recommended answer was to run DISM 🙈

Devices that you already own (PCs, smartphones, tablets, Fire TV devices, and smart TVs) can become your gaming devices, and Luna also supports peripherals that you already own, such as Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers, and mouse + keyboard.

This is the part that interests me the most. I’ve got a handful of controllers that I’ve tried using with my phone in the past with not much luck. If they work with Luna, I’ve instantly got a decent library of games to play anywhere :)

Just to note, this doesn’t apply to the UK. Our trains are generally useless and expensive.

They’re supposed to be better at preventing RSI

In my defence it’s late at night here 🙈

While I agree with you, if OP is spending money on a remote, they may as well try to find an original remote. They’re unlikely to be expensive, and will have all the correct buttons :)

There are card providers like Curve who let you add multiple bank, credit, and store cards to one card, and select which one you want to use through an app. I don’t know whether you can use them through your phone separately though, as I only ever tried it through the Google Pay system.

Curve changed their terms a few years ago so that you can only have one payment card without paying a monthly fee though, so I haven’t used them for a while. On top of that, changing the selected card through the app was too slow for when I was in a queue and wanted to use a store card and then a payment card.

I didn’t say that it forced me to update. This set of replies is about apps that force close and don’t let you do anything.

My Firefox updated in the background, because that’s how I set my system up, but instead of letting me keep working and updating on the next app start, it forced me to stop what I was doing and update there and then, while telling me that it wouldn’t be restoring any private tabs that I had open.

As a contrast, I was also running Chrome. That also updated, but waited for an app close before completing the update. It didn’t interrupt me, and it didn’t lose any of my open tabs.

Firefox has it wrong in this case.

You might want to delete this, then reupload it after you’ve cropped your name out 👍

I had it this week on my Mint laptop, with the bundled Firefox. I hadn’t used the laptop for a few weeks, so I knew it needed updates, but I needed to get something done straight away.

I opened something in a new tab, and it opened as the restart to update tab. As well as breaking my train of thought, it restarted without opening the new link, but also warned me that it wouldn’t reopen any private browsing tabs and another type of tab that I can’t remember.

However they justify it, that’s bad design.

That’s good to know, thanks :)

Didn’t they get taken down recently?

It’s more likely that the streaming setup is having the same problem as you - it can’t find a stream. It checks a load of torrents at once, but if there’s no torrent for what you’re looking for, it’s not going to find them either.

I went to Dublin with some friends a few years ago, and there were pedal rickshaws there as an alternative to taxis. They were great. The people driving them were a lot of fun, and like you say, you could see a lot more of the city than you would from a car.

Just block that wobbly bag of pig shit and move on. The rest of us like you 👍

Oh do fuck off

Thanks 🙂

How do the bridges work? Do they need to be set up by the community, or do they just work?

which is why people always wipe them before playing

As an aside, don’t wipe records. While dust is unlikely to damage it, scraping something across the surface can cause scratches which can affect the playback. An air duster is your best bet 👍
