Thanks for your detailed reply!
We have CVS locally but I don't remember them doing photo-printing. We also have staples, and they have a corner of their store for copy/fax/printing, I think. Were you just describing Meijer or should I stay away from Walmart for this sort of thing?
Hi fellow photographers! - Do you render your digital pictures on paper (print)? - Do you use a printer in the home for it? - What printer do you use? - What printer would you recommend with cost vs quality in mind? (8.5 x 11 prints would be fine) - Do you send your pictures to a commercial printer? - Do you goto the nearest Staples or Walmart and use the printers there?

Thanks all - It seems there are many ways to do this, or perhaps just write the document in markdown and print it that way. I mean I guess I could always install and lear TeX (again) too.

Reminder - Libra Office also works in Windows. So does Open Office.
{Solved Thanks} Would there be any interest? header tags are used to make table of contents, anchor tags create Index entries, all the formatting tags (tables, un-numbered and numbered lists etc) do basic print formatting. All the bold/underline/italic also render to paper. Sort of like a poor man's TeX. Has anyone done this?

I stopped in at my local camera store and an ef to rf adapter would only be $130, it goes on the Christmas list. I was able to try it out with my Dad's lens and autofocus seems to work fine - I was not sure how to test to see if aperture control was working but It probably was.
A lens made for my R50 would cost much more $300.
First, please let me apologize for my lack of proper vocabulary. 😃 I have a Canon EOS R50 with the stock 18 to 45 lens. I need a stronger telephoto capability, to take bird pictures, the moon, get that lone oak tree out in a field etc. There are devices that one can place between the lens and the body to <<telephoto more>>, right? Would it be better to get one of these or to buy another whole lens? I am assuming the adapter would be less expensive. Money is a factor. (isn't it always?)

Why mix docker and VMs? Isn't docker sort of like a VM, an application-level VM maybe? (I obviously do not understand Docker well)

We want In For Mation.
The is it just me says it's up but what I get is the input box but no other design elements show up. I can type in the input box but I can't submit it. It has been like this since 9/20 in the morning. I have cleared my browser cache.
1) for Konsole 2) for use in LibreOffice The original font was called Albertus

It's good for making up stories and making suggestions. I worked with chatGPT on how to power up a mothballed Galaxy Class starship. We created the procedure to bring the ship from inert and vacuumed to ready for warp flight.

The issue seems to have been resolved?? It has stopped blanking except sometimes when I am logged out. I come back in the room to see it blanked, and then lights back up on its own. Stranger and Stranger.

I did not have this issue when only using the laptop's display, and in fact the laptop display does not blank.

I am using the HDMI port on a USBC port replicator / Dock (so that there is only one cable connected to the laptop)
I recently added an external monitor to my Debian 12 laptop, setting it as the primary display while using the laptop's monitor as secondary. However, I'm experiencing an issue where the external monitor randomly goes black, while the laptop screen continues to display normally. Moving the mouse brings the external monitor back to life. Interestingly, this happens while YouTube is running, with the audio playing uninterrupted. So far, I haven't noticed this behavior with any other applications. Update: I was running YouTube from within the Firefox browser, not a YouTube app (If one even exists)

Money is easy, many currencies have the "Eurion constellation" which can be recognized by the copier. It will be much harder to recognise a 3d printed part to detect something that can be made into a gun.

You know what everyone - What if I just move my testing into the home office where the computers are? I just thought of that. Then I would not need a separate machine.

Thanks everyone who has suggested this, I had not thought of SSH to my main machine or even my server machine for this. Good idea. I am not sure about a tablet though because I want a keyboard. Since I would be ssh-ing into a linux machine linux on the little machine is not a must anymore.

Those are good points. I am collecting my own data in a home environment. Did I say that it is important to be able to move the data to my production computer to send to the doctor?
(Solved) I would like a small laptop to use to log medical data (Weight, Blood Pressure, etc) as I gather it. I need it to be small like 10'. it can be low power because I will probably use it only CLI, no GUI, but I need it to be inexpensive. ARM-based is ok, as long as I can SSH into my desktop machine.

Paywall.
I triggered an update via Discover, and I think I clicked the [x] (close) title bar button a little too quickly. Would that have stopped the update in mid update or does Discover do the update in a subprocess that continues even if Discover is closed?
What if, instead of sending you into the past, weeping angels sent you into your future? Say the 'harvest' a 20 year old and send them into the future where they are 80 years old - the angel gets the energy of the 60 years.
Google Maps is changing and will keep drive log data on the phone. I like to go on photo-drives following roads to find "Kodak moments", I also would like a map of my random rambles. I would prefer that the data for that map be locally collected on my phone but the map itself uploadable to my laptop. Does anyone have an App for that?
Canon EOS R50: Does the camera have GPS and can it record the location pictures were taken? I have GPS in my phone can the camera use that? I see the camera has WiFi - so does the phone perhaps that can transfer the location at the time a picture is taken.
At one time when I would launch a program from the Task Manager the icon would stay in place, now when I launch something like Firefox for example, the Icon moves down to the bottom of the list. When I exit it moves back up to where it was. I can't seem to find a setting that relates to this. I am using just "Task Manager", is the thing I want in "Icons Only Task Manager"?
I have a Canon EOS R50, a mirrorless camera, which also seems shutterless - If I take pictures of, for example, an airplane with a spinning propeller, will I still get that "strange rubber propeller" effect? 1) the camera may have a shutter and I just don't recognize it or 2) the sensor is read in such a way as to produce the effect.
I am looking for something simpler than MAME, I want to emulate an 8-bit CPU with 32K RAM and 32K ROM connected to a VT100 type terminal - this would be a simple Linux executable that one runs from the terminal emulator, I will simulate using a built-in teletype by copy/pasting text files into the terminal or copy/pasting screen output to text files. Either CPU would be good. I will be doing machine-code programming, at least until I build my own assembler. Then, who knows...
I have ribbon controls, but I don't have the menu above that. Also, Libre Office (I use Writer mostly but the launcher also) has made itself full screen, and that interferes with the panel (which I keep on the left side). I have had to resort to Alt-F4 to quit. How can I get menus back? Will I be able to get Libre-office to respect the open panel?
New camera, nube photographer. In my R50 the autofocus area can be selected and moved around, but can it be locked to the center? I currently have it set to the point focus, so the smallest focus area, but I find that the box that shows where the camera is focusing moves around (no faces involved or vehicles) Usually the focus square jumps up and to the right, and sometime moves around while I am trying to compose the shot. Is there a way to lock it down so it will stay in the center? Update: I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.

In the Silicon Valley / San Jose / Bay area, there was a BBS that had a hierarchical message board, Replies were ordered under posts or other replies. In the 80's this was an unusual feature of a bulletin system. The BBS was named for a character from some story. It was a hard to pronounce word/name starting with the letter 'P', and we mostly referred to the BBS as 'Pretzel' as that was a close approximation to the original word. Anyone know which BBS I am talking about?
This will be for a physically small i5 laptop for various programming fun. The candidate linux should be **easy to install**, and provide a large selection of CLI programs.
Could one create a command block that causes a teleport transport station to be created? Teleport transports are a command block triggered by a stone pressure plate that uses the /tp command in a command block to send the player to a specific "grand central station", a return station should also be created to send the player back to a place nearby the sending station. The effect should be triggered using a specific gold tool. Is such a thing possible with command blocks?
