Doesn't matter. I've already switched my father to Linux.
Microsoft is just putting off the inevitable shitstorm.

So long as they have all been digitized, could the old documents not be put to better use through donation or at least be recycled? They are made of paper, correct?

Let us hope the data doesn't contain any PII, and if it does, that it is shredded first.

MediaInfo appears to be a friendlier alternative which also supports Windows/Linux/Mac.

mkv files are containers. They may contain many types of codecs within. I think you are right, and the XBox must not have the decoding capabilities for whatever codec resides in some of those mkv's.

MKV is a container. It surrounds whatever codec happens to be inside of it. You could very easily use a tool like gspot to analyze the file for the inner codec, and add the required packages/libraries to open and play said file. I don't think that's a limitation of Plex, but a lack of required codec software packages on your machine. I've heard wonderful things about Plex.

I've seen many people on food stamps buy the most expensive meat and seafood. Then they would have a second order of alcohol and tobacco which was not payable via food stamps. They were overweight, had multiple kids, and were wearing gaudy jewelry, talking on their cell phones during the transaction.

I think there are people in the world that really are trying hard to succeed on their own and do need assistance. I've seen them too. But I think we have an issue with how government assistance is being handled. It should be reformed to cut those which abuse it.

Sadly, I think our country is stuck in a toxic, dualistic mindset where you are either Dem or Rep. And neither are helping to fix the problems we should be facing as a unified nation.

WTF

I said, "You may not want those two people to know who the other person is". They may still be acquainted with each other, or even best friends. They just don't know that they both have the other half of the password. And that is if said person with amnesia set it up that way.

Not true. You don't need to remember who you gave the halves to. They need to remember. Really you could designate these individuals in a health care power of attorney document.

I like it! Take two people you feel you can trust, each with half a master password for your keepass vault. You may not want those two people to know who the other person is. That, and perhaps hide a copy of your keepass file somewhere in a fire/water proof location that those individuals are aware of. Then instruct them to return their halves of the password to you along with the keepass file when you are deemed fit mentally.

If people are at work all day when the sun is out, and the car is not under the "special" garage, then how will it ever charge fully? Sure, you may get more garage charging time in the summer months, but that time is cut short the other half the year. I like the idea of adding the lenses to the solar panels. The garage sounds ridiculous.

Give how normal desks and textbooks are treated by some children, they should stick with what they've been using for years. Kids are just going to destroy, abuse, and lose the expensive tech.

funny, perhaps. Informative, no. Did the modder even bother to view the link?

Don't get me wrong. I love android, but even Google Play has crappy asian malware. I wish they would clean that shat up.

Search for a game or something and you get...

LOVE BLOND KITCHEN See girl beautiful aprons...

And 12 other similar apps from the same creepy ass developer...No way would someone with half a brain download that. Even worse, it wastes space in the search results, the results aren't relevant to what was searched, and it also wastes the end user's bandwidth in having do download the metadata for that nonsense. WTF GOOGLE?

Was he a Comp Sci student?
