When people give away software for free and yet attempt to make a living from it through other means like ads, that’s a different sorta thing.
Some will still manage to complain that the software they received for free has some ads. Others will ask how they help or donate so that the software can be ad-free.

Journalists have avoid committing libel.
In an active-voice headline they would need to add a word like “allegedly” or “reportedly”, which they could have done.
If they report a claim that someone committed a crime and the person is found to not have actually done so, that’s grounds for a libel lawsuit.
So reporting on alleged crimes is done carefully.

I would get the 7, or even a 6– what I have. It will get updates for a while and even when the updates stop it should continue to work after that.
One of most popular pages on my blog is about how to replace the battery on Fenix 5.

WordPerfect continued to thrive in the legal industry for years to come due to its “reveal codes” feature and the way it counted words.

I tried a USB KVM switcher. I only recall there were serious issues and it didn’t last long.
Now I use a high quality USB dock and physically unplug/re-replug a work and personal laptop. That’s been a simple and reliable solution.
For my home server, I ssh into it.
If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.
I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming. Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen. I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

This is like `:o %:h` from Vim/Neovim

Started yesterday at 3:40 Eastern. 20 hours later, there’s still no ETA for a fix. No note about it on their status page. Not impressed. Not clear how many people are affected. A co-worker two miles away is not. The GigabitNow status page does mention some maintenance work in area the day before this event. My guess is it’s related.
I'm looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server. I have used `msmtpd` successfully but thought I'd ask if folks have other solutions they like.
And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.
