Just as long as you trust those guys and give them credit for their contributions.

I'm not sure if this is an attempt at dry humor/sarcasm, or if you simply didn't notice they were my articles.

Hey, if he doesn't give a proper citation to that guy's work, the guy will go ballistic -- in the literal sense!

That's called "I'm not stupid". Good job, about the highest goal any of us can hope for is not being stuck on stupid.

Hi All,
I have just rebuilt a laptop that was part of my companies sonar surveying equipment. The flight cases came back from Greenland absolutely soaking wet, there was about a foot (meter) of water in the case with a Dell laptop in it. took it apart completely (drilled out one screw as no head) left it for a couple of days to remove any moisture left put bits back together. Pressed the power button, got distracted came back to it and it has booted up, track pad works, cue bolt of lightning 'It's alive'  !

Plug in the speakers and check if it's craving brainzzzz before you touch the keyboard.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|

|
|
Done! Just makes the boring Windows sounds...Brainzzzz would be more interesting/frightening....
|
|
|
|
|
So now change it: make the default beep "brainzzzz" and send it back...

Sounds fun! There are days when I yearn for a hardware distraction! Good to hear you're earning your keep at the new place! Cheers!

At work, we have these extremely high-res monitors now and of course my eyes aren't what they used to be.
So a couple of Win10 updates ago, I could change just the text so I had high-res and text size that was readable.
Text Size No-Choice
Now, Microsoft on one of the numerous updates has made it so I can _only_ enlarge the size of the text on certain feature/areas of the OS. However, the main text in a window cannot be enlarged.
You can see a snapshot of what they let you change here:

I know. I know. It's a pad/phone world out there and these text sizes don't matter on there.
Microsoft Supports Devices They Aren't On
Plus, Microsoft especially is known for being used on pads and phones. Riiiiiiight.

The Surface is the most popular tablet out there, outselling it's rivals by a huge margin!
And the Windows Phone is the most common communications device on the planet!
On Planet Redmond, anyway. Unfortunately, in this reality...

When I read that, you had me. I was like...."Really?..."

Yeah - at least when you buy a Galaxy Note 7, you also get a system to tell you where it is ... just follow the fire engine.

Yes, I'm replying to myself. But, here's another thing.
My system sounds are turned all the way down to 0 (zero).
See this : http://raddev.us/images/cp/win10syssounds.png[^]
System Sound, No!
And yet, when I change the resolution on my monitor, it warns me that it is not the optimal resolution and makes a noise -- what I would call a system sound.
So, where do you control that sound? Isn't it obvious? In Settings...Notifications & Actions...scroll down... Show Notifications from these apps....igxTray.exe.... 
See it here: http://raddev.us/images/cp/win10notify.png[^]
Thanks, Microsoft, it's all obvious.
