The calendar view does exist, but it is collapsed by default. If you expand it, it looks very similar to the Win10 calendar.
There does seem to be a "Diagnose network problems" in the context menu when right-clicking on the internet connection icon.

There are still a handful of us from the TTT IRC around. I asked Tag for a copy of his archive during the pandemic and put it on S3 if there are any tracks you are looking for from the old days.
I agree with his ultimate conclusion -- don't start a forum.

It is no fun being an internet referee.

A document scanner.

I had many years of old paper tax returns, and I wanted them in PDF format. Paid $400 for an Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500 and absolutely love it. Put a stack of documents in the top, hit "scan", and a PDF appears on my computer. Zero hassle.

Anything that I get in paper form gets immediately scanned, backed up, and shredded.

Looks like this was pushed immediately. Trying to access https://www.darkmatter.ae/ in Chrome 75 results in an NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED error page.
Same here. Some guy in Thailand. Weird!

The main difference is that if someone steals your debit card info and goes on a spending spree, that money is gone from your account until the fraud folks at your bank can deal with it.

This may result in overdrafts from other automatic payments or not being able to pay for things you need, until the money is restored to your account.

If you search PACER for "5:2017cr00308" it pops up for me.

I'm not sure about historical prices of the components, but this article is from 2015, as noted in the footer and in the PDF guide linked at the top.

I found this a while back, it works great for compiling a cross compiler for Linux and Windows.

There's also a bit of information on OSDEV if you are wondering why you need a cross compiler:

iTerm2 is great and George is absolutely responsive with any issue I've ever brought up. I am personally going to give him the benefit of the doubt here, I'm sure he'll fix things ASAP.

Re:New Skype Update Is Horrible on Monday July 03, 2017 @05:56PM (#14691722)
I'm not sure if things have changed since your experience, but the last time I exceeded the 180 days of inactivity, my credits were removed from the Skype client and a link appeared in their place, telling me to "reactivate" my credits on the website.

I went to the website and clicked a link and my credits showed in the Skype client again.

Seems like the post was written in 2014 while the Snapchat NTP issue was more recent.
Re:How to Make an RPG on Friday June 24, 2016 @11:10AM (#11970349)
There is a table of contents at the bottom of this page: https://howtomakeanrpg.com/

I bought the book. Haven't read it yet but the PDF is 978 pages and the downloads of source/assets was approx. 2GB.

Roughly glancing through the book, there seems to be code examples on most pages. Looks like he's using LUA.

You don't have to install anything to do color switching, AFAIK. There are configuration options that you can use to match based on regexp, so you tell it when it sees '^root@hostname' it needs to change the background color and you are done.

I haven't had an opportunity to try this myself, but rather than setting up some kind of MITM proxy, maybe you could try this:

Very interesting. Please do consider putting the extension up somewhere!
Re:Proxy.app Lands In App Store on Wednesday May 21, 2014 @03:43PM (#7780317)
I just bought it as well and was also trying to get HTTPS proxying to work. I am not a security guy, so I could be incorrect, but I think there are two things going on here:

1) the certificate generated by Proxy is 512 bits which OS X doesn't support; and

2) i'm not sure that Proxy will work with sites that use HSTS -- you might be able to clear the HSTS database in Chrome, but still for sites like Google, I think the certificate information is hard-coded.

Re:Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition Linux Ultrabook review on Saturday April 20, 2013 @10:16AM (#5581456)
Why did you opt for the DL-DVI adapter rather than a mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable? I have my rMBP plugged into a Dell U3011 most of the time and this seems like the most straightforward way.
Re:Csr.io - a better certificate signing request generator on Thursday October 11, 2012 @04:55PM (#4642746)
An alternative would be to output an OpenSSL command using the data entered in the form that the user can run locally to generate the CSR and private keys.

This would be similar to what DigiCert's CSR generator does: https://www.digicert.com/easy-csr/openssl.htm

I use OfflineIMAP to back up Gmail and Google Apps mail. I have it set up to run every evening from cron, backing up a Gmail account as well as a couple Apps accounts. It uses Maildir format.
