Reviewed LittleBigMouse★★★★★This is an excellent tool! It's one of those where you both wonder why Windows doesn't offer it out of the box, because it seems like such essential functionality for a graphical operating system, but also know for sure that if it did, it wouldn't be done nearly as well as here. (How in the heck does Windows still not understand dpi in the year 2026? Probably for the same reason it still can't find local files.)
You get a great visual overview of your current setup, and helpful tools to...

I'm way ahead of the curve here! I didn't even get this update on my work computer yet, but Outlook already becomes unresponsive multiple times a day.
I usually work on two big screens with Outlook open on the laptop screen to one side, so I always have it in the corner of my eye. My favourite bit is when I haven't touched it in a few hours, and it suddenly starts flickering, all the rendering getting garbled up, UI elements jumping around, disappearing, reappearing… it wouldn't be simple to...

Windows being coded this awfully is actually incomprehensible to me. Millions upon millions of users deal with windows every day and somehow microslop thinks it's okay to just let some LLM code it top to bottom, goes to show just how far greed and incompetence can go, and sadly also goes to show how many users will settle for downright dysfunctional software
The vibe code is off.

Commented on Collectorz.com Movie Collector2024 Update: The developers announced earlier this year that the desktop applications will not see any new feature development. There will only be maintenance updates "for as long as it is feasible". They strongly encourage users to move to their cloud-based, web-only applications.
Personally, this is a(nother) dealbreaker for me. For an application where I spend a lot of time entering data, it is completely unacceptable to me to not have this data stored locally and under my control. I'd...

Upvoted a comment on BurnAwareThis is a great program. It has nothing less compared to other DVD softwares and It has all the functionalities you will need to create, burn and modify ISOs, Blu-rays DVDs, CDs.|
These are the features that are inaccessible in the free version: Disk spanning, Disk copying, Extracting Files from ISOs ( This can be done easily with 7zip), Extracting Audio tracks from Audio CDs, Recovering Data from corrupted Disks.
I've been using it for a while and I'm pretty satisfied.

Don't Google Cast and AirPlay transcode the video? That would be a pretty considerable downgrade, especially since one of Vimeo's main selling points is that their video quality is better than the crappy low-bitrate encodes of YouTube.
I'm not sure if casting from my phone could reach the same bitrate as when my Ethernet-connected TV streams directly (not to speak of the fact that it's really not ideal to burn through your phone's battery just to watch videos on your TV). I guess accessing...

This is why we can't have nice things.
Selfish people causing services to implement rate limiting, mandatory registrations, and quality downgrades for everyone, just to keep the lights on.

Upvoted a comment on Chyrp LiteWonderfully simple and slim blogging system. As far as I can see, it has all of the most important features that the more famous and well-known blog systems like WordPress or Serendipity have. But it is not overloaded. It has not such a terrible editor like WordPress’ Gutenberg, but a very minimalistic Markdown editor, which won't distract you from writing.
The installation is easy and done in no time (you will need a MySQL or SQLite database), the updates work flawlessly, and the backend is...
Upvoted a comment on BluditI've been creating, running and publishing my own sites from the early days of the Internet, when they were still web logs. I've used and tried a lot of software, including making my sites with HTML editors. Up to now I would say Blogger was the best option for having a site up with your information and news, business or personal. While Blogger has been around a very long time I would now recommend Bludit as the best software for building and maintaining a site. It is simple, light on...

Upvoted a comment on GravAs a non-developer looking to run my own site, I think Grav is the best of the flat file systems available. It's the only one that has a web UI which allows in depth administration (the others I tried which had web UIs only let you post content... something that makes sense if you have a pro running the back for you). HOWEVER it does not quite work. After spending a full day trying to make a navigation menu, I gave up.
The documentation is out of date or confusing or incorrect and...
