Task Manager question
At one time when I would launch a program from the Task Manager the icon would stay in place, now when I launch something like Firefox for example, the Icon moves down to the bottom of the list. When I exit it moves back up to where it was.
I can't seem to find a setting that relates to this.
I am using just "Task Manager", is the thing I want in "Icons Only Task Manager"?
So with the 2nd type shutter, The sensor is exposed and then the shutter closes, the sensor is read in darkness so the image on it does not change. Then the shutter opens and I start seeing what the camera sees in the view-finder-eyepiece?
Thanks. So I am guessing the shutter is only present when actually taking a picture since the view-finder is fed from the sensor?
A question about a mirror less camera regarding shutter.
I have a Canon EOS R50, a mirrorless camera, which also seems shutterless - If I take pictures of, for example, an airplane with a spinning propeller, will I still get that "strange rubber propeller" effect? 1) the camera may have a shutter and I just don't recognize it or 2) the sensor is read in such a way as to produce the effect.
Do not forget the library of Alexandria.

easy 6502 or Z80 emulation
I am looking for something simpler than MAME, I want to emulate an 8-bit CPU with 32K RAM and 32K ROM connected to a VT100 type terminal - this would be a simple Linux executable that one runs from the terminal emulator, I will simulate using a built-in teletype by copy/pasting text files into the terminal or copy/pasting screen output to text files.
Either CPU would be good. I will be doing machine-code programming, at least until I build my own assembler. Then, who knows...
Can I put focus on the "record video" button as I do not use the video features of my camera? Just not into video.
So - mark this one [solved]
So I finally decided to just re-install Libre Office. This worked, at least I had my whole window after that...
but when I removed Libre Office it took way too much of the system with it - Discover (The app store) was even gone.
After trying to install the missing stuff again, I gave up and availed myself of the opportunity to 'test my backups'. I nuked and re-paved Debian then restored my home directory and went about re-setting up my environment in KDE the way I like it.
Shift-Ctrl-J makes the ribbons go away, leaving only the cells in calc, with a dialog box giving a button to return from "full screen".
I think my issue is not so much that I am in or not in Full Screen but rather that I have lost my window decoration and text-based menus. The ribbons are still there and I can save my document that way and Alt-f4 closes the application.
The search does not return any hits so no keystrokes to change to or from full screen
It's not really "Full Screen", but it is missing the window decoration and "File Edit ..." menu I think if I can put it into tabbed menu mode that will help. I am not finding the icon bar that provides the "tabbed menu" button.
Nope, I already tried F11. I knew that worked for full screen on other programs.
[solved] Libre Office stuck in full screen/no menu mode
I have ribbon controls, but I don't have the menu above that. Also, Libre Office (I use Writer mostly but the launcher also) has made itself full screen, and that interferes with the panel (which I keep on the left side). I have had to resort to Alt-F4 to quit. How can I get menus back? Will I be able to get Libre-office to respect the open panel?
Because they don't want to lose a method of tracking us wherever we show our faces. I think masks will be a fashion in the future, and they are just so comfortable.
But I would not have disabled my ad blocker in other circumstances, but YouTube is forcing me to disable it against my better judgment to be able to use the site.
If YouTube takes files from 3rd parties and simply displays them, then viruses are possible. This is more true of ads placed via ad-broker on other websites. To get ad revenue a webmaster provides a space where the ad is inserted. The ad is provided by a 3rd party who pays the ad broker for placement. Neither the webmaster nor the ad broker have any visibility into the content of the ad, which could even contain code (ads which move or present UI elements have code to make those things work)
If a YouTube ad installs a virus on my system, can I sue YouTube?
Is there a good how to for installing FreeDOS in a Virtual Machine Manager VM?
I tried some time ago to install it but got stuck along the way. I will have to try again to say where.
Thanks!
I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.
I see - Getting that shot is a lot harder than mine - trees and flowers don't move as fast as racecars. My eye is especially pleased by shots that use depth of field.
So there might be a way for me to designate a subject and then have the camera watch that subject while it moves through shadow or bright light and also maintain proper focus while I decide the proper framing and the moment to record?
I put the focus marker on the subject where I want the focus to be, then I would hold the shutter button down part way and re-compose the shot, then press the shutter button the rest of the way to shoot.
I just checked to see if Touch and Drag was on - it was off. I turned off "whole screen servo", but I am not sure what that really is, I thought it was for video.
Canon EOS R50 Autofocus question {solved-unknown solution}
New camera, nube photographer.
In my R50 the autofocus area can be selected and moved around, but can it be locked to the center? I currently have it set to the point focus, so the smallest focus area, but I find that the box that shows where the camera is focusing moves around (no faces involved or vehicles) Usually the focus square jumps up and to the right, and sometime moves around while I am trying to compose the shot. Is there a way to lock it down so it will stay in the center?
Update: I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.
[Solved] Seeking a name, from the mists of the past
In the Silicon Valley / San Jose / Bay area, there was a BBS that had a hierarchical message board, Replies were ordered under posts or other replies. In the 80's this was an unusual feature of a bulletin system. The BBS was named for a character from some story. It was a hard to pronounce word/name starting with the letter 'P', and we mostly referred to the BBS as 'Pretzel' as that was a close approximation to the original word. Anyone know which BBS I am talking about?
Opinion Request - "Best" cli linux
This will be for a physically small i5 laptop for various programming fun. The candidate linux should be easy to install, and provide a large selection of CLI programs.
Command Block question
Could one create a command block that causes a teleport transport station to be created? Teleport transports are a command block triggered by a stone pressure plate that uses the /tp command in a command block to send the player to a specific "grand central station", a return station should also be created to send the player back to a place nearby the sending station. The effect should be triggered using a specific gold tool.
Is such a thing possible with command blocks?
dd for image backup
I am supposing this will not work - simply using dd to copy the booted disk /dev/sda for example to a file on an external hard drive. This would not be a good back as too many system file would be missed. right?
AI generated car - What real car is close
This car was generated by Night Cafe, does is look like some real car? It's in response to the prompt "Neon Nomad" but I am not getting a car like that when I google. I think it looks jeep-like, and yes I googled "Jeep Nomad", no dice.

Night Cafe #sphere-share - for round fun.
Not really a challenge, but to join the fun - put something in a sphere, or do something spherical. Let's have a ball with this (yup I went there). Can't offer any sort of prize, other than we all get to enjoy new art.
just tag your new spherical art with "sphere-share"

8 bit era but with 3.5" floppy drive?
Were there any 8-bit era computers that had a 3.5" floppy? They probably would have run CP/M. I do have an apple IIC+, but I also would like some sort of Z80 machine.
HP 71B Data Type error
My 71B is telling me "Data Error" whenever I try to use the variable "F" - any ideas?
Sudden strangeness in PATH
I have suddenly found that /usr/games has disappeared off my path. Not only that but my normal otherwise but sudo enabled user seems to have a superuser's path?
rhudson@adam:~$ echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
rhudson@adam:~$ id -u 1000
What would have changed suddenly? It was not like this yesterday. kpat is in /usr/games and I was able to launch it from task manager yesterday, but not today.
I have rebooted twice so far. I can run kpat by opening it from Dolphin.
I don't want to have to re-install : ^ (
Mortal Engine SACRAMENTO
Well try as I might, I could not convince Nightcafe to make this Mortal Engine sized. It insisted it was only tank sized.
