It's not too bad. It's just new releases in that year which after today is 82.

I anticipate listening to my first(maybe second?) full album of the year this evening. yes, It's isbell.

Can’t wait to read your best albums of the year article.

10/10 would listen again.

I have a standard HP Elitebook and anytime I am plugged into an HP Thunderbolk dock, the only thing that works is the power. My mouse, monitor, and anything else I have in the dock is not working. Any ideas?

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

[Giff]

I've tried multiple ones in the office and nothing works on any of them except power.

[A_B]

That's gotta tell us something.

Shoulda sprung for the Thunderbolt

Shoulda sprung for the Thunderbolt

Yeah, some things you just don't go generic with I guess.

[wlu_lax6]

Look for firmware updates

[Ryan]

Hang on, changing all my fantasy football teams to Thunderbolks.

[EnochRoot]

Look for firmware updates

Yep.

^ This solution is for a Z-Book, but something tells me a similar answer exists for the EliteBook.

[Giff]

Yup it was something similar. Finally got a hold of our site's IT guy and he helped me identify the correct update.

Awesome.

Shoutout to AB for his nod to the IT Crowd.

Handy for anyone who can tell me how to access a shared Google Drive folder from the Mac finder. (using a shortcut no longer appears to work)

Google Drive for Mac.

[P.D.X.]

Yes that’s what I’m using.

[EnochRoot]

Yes that’s what I’m using.

Where was the shortcut? Was it in the Finder Sidebar? Like, when you click on Locations in Finder (if it's minimized), do you see Google Drive there?

[P.D.X.]

I'm using GD. I'm very familiar with it. When you're in the web version, there's a sidebar that includes a "Shared With Me" button, which takes you to all the items that others have shared with you. These are not accessible from GD desktop, because there's no "Shared With Me" folder (for whatever reason). So, in the past, the workaround was to log-in to the web version, create a shortcut then place it into "My Drive", then that would appear in your desktop GD and you could move it wherever and get to that "Shared With Me" item whenever. That method no longer works (just noticed my files hadn't been syncing for like a month), and I just get an error message. Thus my question. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[P.D.X.]

Yes, I came across that solution as well but as it's 4 years old it's no longer viable.

I'm finally going to have to ditch Evernote. They've gotten to the point where they limit your total amount of notes to 50 or you have to pay a whopping $130 a year for what was once free. I've been using it since 2009 or so, so it's really fucking annoying, but whatever.

Microsoft OneNote looks ok as a substitute. As do a few others like Joplin or Google Keep.

Anyone have a preference?

Evernote is, for lack of a better term, half-baked. There is still no archive function. That's just stupid. They want your data, but they don't want to share your data with their competitors.

Anyway - export the notebooks you no longer use (one at a time) down to your computer or NAS.

[GoodKarma]

I’ve been using OneNote for several years now…no real complaints. If you’re using other Microsoft stuff it integrates nicely.

I've bought a webcam to use with my work laptop...and it works great in Zoom, but it won't work in Teams. Any ideas?

That's weird. Is this a Mac? Is it possible that you haven't granted Teams the rights to access the camera?

No...Dell Laptop. And I did these steps:

Open System Settings on your device. Select Privacy & Security > Camera. Make sure the Microsoft Teams toggle is turned on. Select Quit & Reopen or Later to quit and reopen it later.

And still won't work. Very strange.

[Shirley]

Have you rebooted? Nothing takes care of more weird computer behavior.

[Rush2112]

You might want to see if the camera's firmware needs an update, check the website. Teams is weird.

[duff]

Are you using the new Teams? Pretty sure you are required to use it now, but I can't remember the cut off date.

Speaking of Evernote...I "upgraded" to the latest version and the result is that I've apparently lost several years' worth of notes, including most of the stuff related to the games I've run here. I caved an purchased a subscription to see if that would help, and still nothing. Fun.

Let me know how that works. I chased myself out of the board cuz of the low-brow misogyny. You know, those who insist that ‘cunt’ is a cool word to throw around.

See you next Tech (support thread bump)

I've used Keep for a very long time and it does the exactly what I need it to, OS agnostic notes available anywhere with reminders.

At least nobody made a beating Barbaro reference in at least a decade. We are capable of growth!

Hey gents, I'm embarrassed to say that my absence was so lengthy I've forgotten some of the phpBB tricks.

Looking to remember how to link tweets and also how to hyperlink text to a different website.

Also, any tips on resizing photos would be appreciated.

[A_B]

Tweets can be copied directly in with their url BUT you have to change "x.com" to "twitter.com" in the link. Shockingly Elon didn't cover all his bases.



For hyperlinked text, you highlights it and then hit the chain link button above. It will put the URL brackets in, and you just have to change the first one to have the URL in the first bracket Then, the text you want to display between the two bracket sets. Hit reply to this and you'll see the actual code in there that has the example above and below.

Track your cars maintenance!

I use Photoshop for resizing because I have it, but most computers have some kind of simple editing program or there are probably better free ones to download.

[garyclark]

Thanks! So there's no <size= > type of hack for shrinking the photos?

So, when on the Swamp on my iPhone, I'm having a problem. When I click on the little icon that takes you to a new post(s) you have not yet read, I'm getting an error message. This isn't happening on my laptop, only my iPhone. Thoughts?

I haven't seen that. What's the error message?
