Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology?

I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

How to pull rocks out of pipe in the ground?

My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.

Bluetreefrog,

Rule 5. Repost in an android or Reddit community. Locking.

Bluetreefrog,

Not an open ended thought provoking question. Locking.

Bluetreefrog,

To be fair, you should probably back claims like these up with some references. Google scholar has a few.

Bluetreefrog, (edited )

Support post. Please repost in lemmy support. Locking.

Bluetreefrog,

Ignore them. Not sure why the pessimism.

Bluetreefrog,

Not really a thought provoking question. Locking.

Question about Android. Is there a way to replace the system file manager on non-rooted devices?

When you need to upload a photo to a photo hosting site through a browser, the system file manager opens. When choosing a photo for editing, this also happens through the file manager built into Android. Is there a way to force applications to open my preferred file manager instead of the system one?

Bluetreefrog,

OP, please re-post in one of the Android communities. Locking.

Bluetreefrog,

Firefox temporary containers works for me.

Bluetreefrog,

It’s an extension. Search for “Temporary Containers” in the Add-ons and Themes section under to the Tools menu.

Low effort posts

Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying “what do you think of my stick?”, I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want...

Bluetreefrog,

I’ll have you know, one of my best friends is a stick.

Bluetreefrog,

This is a really good point. Should the community be for thought provoking questions or discussion provoking questions?
