In other, unrelated news, VPN’s are experiencing an unexpected spike in traffic. More at 5.

I used to start with searching Reddit, though that has been of less help lately. Wikipedia is helpful for getting a baseline if I have no clue about a subject. Lately ChatGPT has been helpful there as well.

And then of course, all search engines still accept boolean searches but you kinda need to 1) know the syntax the engine uses and 2) have a rough idea of what you are looking for.

Not too hard. Just alot of unfamiliar vocabulary. 😄 If you run into any questions with either of our walk throughs, (my linux one or @[email protected] 's Powershell one), feel free to DM me. Don't mind helping folks starting their exploration of computers. We all started somewhere.

Nice! I knew someone would know how to do this in PowerShell!

Just search for tutorials based on the key words from my post and you'll get there.

I am sorry for the RTFM post though. Been a rough day and haven't been able to get near a computer to do a better write up for you.

I once lost my wife for 3 days. I had left her by the stacks of CS Lewis books for only a moment. 😄

The only thing that stops my book buying is storage space. I…… I may have a problem.

Sure, they can. It’s called Confirmation and Impeachment. Did Justice Alito not show up the days they taught the Constitution in Elementary School, Middle School, High School, and Law School?
