Why I Switched My Parents from a 2012 Mac Mini to a Linux PC My parents 2012 Mac Mini finally reached the end of its supported 3rd party software lifecycle. It is time for an upgrade — especially since they’d been using it primarily for web browsing and online banking, tasks that don’t require high-end hardware, but do require current and supported software.
My parents and I naturally thought at first : Why not just upgrade to the new Mac Mini M4?

Introduction This is a brief guide on how to install CHIRP on Linux Mint 21.x / 22.x. Since CHIRP’s linux app is a python app it is a bit unusual in practice and when following the current instructions results in errors so in short this is what worked for me the last time I tried to install CHIRP.
Installation with Errors Start by visiting the CHIRP Downloads page
For Linux Mint 21.
Introduction Ever since discovering I could create a QR code for easily connecting to Wi-Fi networks I have been making QR codes using QtQR and so on and importing those into a LibreOffice document for printing, sharing and saving. Then more recently I started promoting this blog’s local resource lists using a QR code on a 3x5 index card which is turing out to be a great format for printing and sharing locally.

Introduction As some may have experienced, older motherboards without NVMe support lack the ability to boot from modern and fast NVMe SSD drives. While in most cases these drives work just fine once the OS has booted, the problem is not being able booting from it and achieve faster performance, without having to resort to customizing the UEFI Bios and risk bricking the motherboard.
Presenting another option that is a safer alternative to re-flashing a custom UEFI BIOS that adds in NVMe support to be able to boot from a modern NVMe drive on otherwise unsupported hardware.

Does anyone still use bookmarks? I do, and it has not really changed since the 1990s. Core problems are your bookmarks are limited to a drop-down menu or the bookmark toolbar or sidebar depending on your browser.
Just looking at the limited drop-down menu and folders to organize all and any bookmarks you want to keep, in general it’s a lot of careful mousing and navigating to get where your going, no wonder googling has been the default to get there quick, and why the bookmarks toolbar and home buttons have been hidden by default in Chrome, Brave and other browsers.
