I was young once!
Twice, if you include June 10th, 1983

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I'm certain that there were times when OG was sober, but not by choice. England (and Wales) have (had?) closing times for pubs.

Just stumbled upon this feature that you can see when you :
1. Open file manager
2. right click your local drive (or any drive really)
3. choose properties
Notice the last checkbox item:
[ ] Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties
(Normally it will be selected by default)
It looks like :

I turned it off today.
I don't use Microsoft file search. I would use the dir command or something.
Also if I want to find data inside a file I would us console findstr or something.
Turn Off If You Have An SSD?
I see many posts about turning this off if you have an SSD.
Does anyone have additional info on this? Any experience with it? With SSDs?
Why would people say it should be turned off for SSD -- because of too many writes to SSD and limiting it's lifespan?
Just curious about this setting as a general discussion.

Incessant reads and writes, when you're not doing anything, and even when you haven't changed anything.
The system drive is worst, because it's almost continually reading a writing, anyway, and it's the system drive that you want to live the longest.

Thanks. That's what I was guessing but wasn't sure.

What Mark said, but the SSD just doesn't need the indexing help they are so d**** fast.
<blush> I have 3 SSDs in my new laptop. Just realized I needed to turn that feature off....

Besides indexing works when your pc is idle. So when you finally wake up from nodding off and click something you may interrupt the indexing. I'ts supposed to be waiting on you as a machine is our servant so that's a no no.
I disable MS search service and use Ulta File Search Lite (free and cool too.)

That's a part of why I was posting too. I just upgraded to an SSD (another machine than the one shown in the image) and I need to turn it off there too.

Thanks for posting this. You deserve an upvote. I have to turn it off on all the family machines. All have SSDs.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Hey, I use a program called EVERYTHING (voidtools)
It indexes ONLY the filenames/extensions/paths.
OMG, it indexed my music, MILLIONS of source code files, etc.
I hit a windows hot key, start typing, and it finds EVERYTHING (LOL), and supports various search options.
I dont use file indexing... But I do use grepWin. Right click a folder, grewWin, search for my strings. It even can find files MISSING a string (like an include)...
those two tools. 99.99% of my searching needs. Done...
I hope this helps someone

For the same reasons described below, you can bag superfetch too.

New Night Lights Maps Open Up Possible Real-Time Applications | NASA[^]:
Quote: Satellite images of Earth at night — often referred to as "night lights" — have been a gee-whiz curiosity for the public and a tool for fundamental research for nearly 25 years. They have provided a broad, beautiful picture, showing how humans have shaped the planet and lit up the darkness. Produced every decade or so, such maps have spawned hundreds of pop-culture uses and dozens of economic, social science and environmental research projects.
