Not quite - you're trying to move your sleeping and waking schedules 1 hour earlier.

It's a rough one unless you're already an early riser.

When the clocks go back, however, you're moving things 1 hour later, which is a lot easier!

The key concept they're missing a lot of the time is that software sits within the file system and not the other way around.

This is largely because apps hide this and data is generally stored in one place on your phone (the downloads folder).

Best way to fix it - have 1--2 lessons entirely devoted to finding shit on their computer. My favourite activity is "ok, save your word file, close word, you now have 10 mins to find that file without opening word".

 

Clocks forward folks; off into BST we go.

You also start to suffer random status ailments.

Their university leadership are slightly more coherent than mine - I'll take that life.

This is the main barrier for me (other one is migrating a janky access database). I really don't want to spend my 2 hours free time an evening troubleshooting Nvidia driver issues (4800S series).

Anyone with this card have an experience to share?

So, I've seen a lot of people who were extremely sharp as PhD students become blunted as soon as 9--5 starts.

A lot of decline among adults can likely be traced back to increased cognitive load during working hours, which chips away at intelligence over time as folks burn out.

With kids it's harder to place, maybe it's walking the tightrope that is modern social interactions?

*pay increase above actual inflation/bill increases.

My pay has gone up every year, but each year I end up poorer as my bills eat the extra, plus some more!

Honestly, even if it isn't doing much, it's making a statement which is more than enough.

Ah the eternal war of the dawnies and the duskies...

I think a lot of the issue is that it's possible to shift to a 24 hour economy with morning and night shifts, but (like remote working pre-covid) we hear a lot of "it's not possible".

 

For the past decade or so I've mostly had a windows rig for gaming, and a dual boot laptop for travel/work (windows for Microsoft Access/PowerPoint, Ubuntu for everything else).

An odd issue I ran across was drive data format; it caused unending issues with steam/lutris when installing games running under wine/proton to drives formatted for windows (they'd just not run, no error messages till one day I tried to force it via terminal and got an error I could search via Google).

In the end I just partitioned off the drive to a native Linux format and that fixed it (had to dump the contents of the drive to a portable which took a while!), but now I am wondering if there was another alternate workaround?

So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.

I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.

It's an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.
