My new monitor has a great feature - it will pop up a warning when you've had it on continuously for an hour, suggesting you take a break.

You can turn this feature off, of course, it wd be annoying otherwise.

Something weird happened when I was trying to create a Mink DeVille playlist and do a running commentary at the same time... scared

My mouse just stopped working. I had to pull it out and back in again to get it working. dontpanic

Is it time to go down Poundland and get another?

The joy of getting them from Poundland is you can buy multiple ones, so you'll always have spares when one dies. yes

I was just mooching through my old photos, and I noticed a video had gone missing, scared

I managed to find it the legacy folder as a .mov file hidden in the maze of files that that 'Photos' application hides them in these days.

Excited

Don't ask me to do it again, I don't think I could. Excited

The mouse on this PC is very annoying, clicking the scroll wheel doesn't register as 'middle button'.

I need 'middle click' to open NHOTW posts in a new tab. As it is I have to right click and choose 'Open in new tab' instead.

Also I need 'middle click' to for the 'close tab' function.

Have you tried pressing the "ctrl" key at the same time as left-clicking?

Ooh, that's clever. Thanks.

I wonder, do Poundland do a scroll wheel mouse, and if so, is it marketed as the 'Click, click, click!' mouse?

I have a scroll-wheel mouse that came from Poundland. It even lights up. happy

My laptop's been lighting-slow all night. I think I'm going to have to increase it to its maximum 8 RAMs. scared

The battery on my laptop's going. It keeps running out at increasingly high charge levels.

Why is The Guardian not displaying pictures and Wikipedia formatted in plain text. rant

Only in Chrome it seems. Colbert

Have you tried clearing cookies?

Seems it was something to do with AdBlock.

Just uninstalled/reinstalled it and it seems to've sorted the problem.

Fingers crossed.
