Ctrl-Alt-Del / Re: A random thread for small computing things that don't really warrant a thread of their own

Weird shit going down in some, or more, of the most recently released map DLCs for American Truck Simulator.  In some places every parked car is a Tesla and I can’t figure out whether it’s something I've done, an actual bug feature or just part of Space Karen’s plot to conquer the galaxy.

Just fitted 46/34/24 with 11-34 9spd cassette on the Trucker and works fine with an Alivio rear mech.

What cranks/rings (46/34/24) did you use?

Movistar's Ticky-Tacky-o-Matic 4000 makes HAL HEX and Ferrari look sane and rational.

OT Knowledge / Re: rainwater harvesting

« Last post by TPMB12 on Today at 12:12:59 am »

I suggest you visit english country life youtube channel. They're into smallholding and have a very good video on their water harvesting system. They use IBCs painted black to hold rainwater even linking them up. They know a fair bit about water harvesting. I think IBCs can be a cheap,  high volume option.

My documents on my laptop looked like it was on my laptop but simply wasn't.  It was in my document I the cloud. When broadband was a bit iffy I had to sync and download a file to open. I had been saving to my actual laptop hard drive OK for a long time but at some point some update or something changed the settings. I don't want onedrive to do this but I do want it only when 8 want to just it so I don't want to disable it fully.

So I went into my explorer and renamed the desktop and documents folders.  I then moved all the files and folders in those renamed ones that were actually cloud located folders.  I put them into folders set up on c drive under users/my name as documents and desktop. I then deleted the old, renamed cloud versions then set up shortcuts in file explorer where the cloud based versions had masquerades as computer saved versions.

What got me was how my original,  laptop hard drive located documents and desktop had been switched to being saved on he cloud.  This I would never knowingly do.  Which makes me mistrust onedrive and ms. No idea how it happened but I only found out when j could not find a file I'd just saved and accidentally closed.
