I'm always ready to migrate. For any software installed on my machine (except for free stuff, which can be downloaded again), I archived the setups + serials in my personal folder, so I can install again on any new machine. And my personal folders (Documents, Desktop etc.) are not stored on the computer's drive but on an external USB drive. Although I must admit on a laptop it wouldn't be practical do always have an external USB drive connected. But in addition, I'm doing a differential backup of all relevant folders to a second external USB drive once a week using "FreeFileSync", so I could just take the backup and copy it over to a new laptop, if I ever bought one.

in the Thanksgiving, I bought a Kindle reader for myself. after that, I ordered my first kindle book from Amazon.com.
I used the default target location "My Kindle Library" to send my kindle book and paid the money.
It turns out that on my Kindle reader, I can not open this book: the error message is saying "incompatible format".
Not sure how to fix this issue.

Call Amazon. I have downloaded loads of books to my Kindle and never had a problem.

when I bought another new book and sent it to "my Kindle reader", then everything is good...

Redownload the first book. I've had this happen a couple of times over the years and the solution is to delete the book from your library and then redownload it.

thank you! I will try your way

I had problems getting an eBook from my local library. Twice! Amazon was no help, but they spent time with me. I finally found the solution with a Google search.

I'm in an unpleasant mood right now, or I was, and then this made me chuckle. I don't actually hate myself, and yet I found it relatable anyway because of my mood and because I am coding in C++ at the moment.

It's totally safe for work.

I just looked at it. This is okay. Safe for even elementary school.
|

I can confirm it is safe.
I have already seen this before and, if I am not mistaken, was on the "Daily news" email.
Although, __spoilers__ would not be my first choice to put there to hate

The reason you're in an unpleasant mood is because you're coding in C++.

Or what about complex Java?..

"This variable has not been declared..."

So I wanted to print a lot of personalised labels. Set up the mail merge (using an Excel file for the data) and hit print. Then I remembered what happened last time I did this ...
(I should point out that I had to select the "Edit individual pages" option as there were a couple of funnies to sort out before printing e.g. one name was too long to fit the label so just needed to tweak it.)
So, I then get the "Some of your margins are very small. Would you like to carry on?" message. However, it then generated this for every page and I had to sit there clicking "Yes" 85 times before it would print.
Hrmmpphhhh.

I have not had to do this, thankfully, for over 5 years now, if not more. After reading your post, it brought back fond memories of mail merge labels and envelops...not.

Do you realize your thread topic is redundant: Word mail merge == stupidity.

In 2018, thanks to the serendipitous presence of a colleague raving about ReactJs and React.Net, I discovered about IObservable.
I toyed with them and thought they might bring improvement to event handling...
Many years passed, not doing much, and now I am back on my pet long term take over the world home project.
And man, using IObservable and IAsyncEnumerable makes event handling, such as mouse dragging or even, how about get click count then continue on dragging hey? A breeze of fresh air. The code just look just as easy in C# as it would look in plain English. No state variable and multiple call back.. it's just all linear as you would say it! I am loving it!
I am kind of surprised to be in the select in known group. Shouldn't the cat be out the bag by now?
I guess nobody does desktop UI anymore these days...
Oh well, I keep at it in my secret basement lair, which happens to be on the first floor!
I just need a bit more energy to shake myself up, old age and woes and all that jazz...

My Host (which is not GoDaddy) has just migrated us from cPanel to DirectAdmin
My new problem is E-Mail Forwarders.
I use them extensively to thwart degenerate spam (with very good results).
At this moment, I can't make sense of what DirectAdmin is doing with E-Mail Forwarders.
I looked for some video tutorials on this.
Everything I found was six years old with a user interface that is not what I have on my screen.
(Google does it again; oh well, at least it's consistent nowadays)
Anybody who can point me to an actual video tutorial that matches what I see on my screen will receive 37 quintillion tons of gold.

I'm going to need 50% up front, I'm afraid.

It's not that I don't trust C-P-User-3, it's just my standard procedure for new customers.
And not at all me planning on doing a runner with the gold ... definitely not.

I would like to see you running with 18,5 quintillion tons of gold.
