![]() maybe my desktop machine with more ram spoiled me, but XP just doesn’t run nicely with only 256 Mb of ram. My laptop doesn’t run XP as fast as I’d like, nevermind Vista. I would have gotten a ram upgrade, but I’ve since lost my job and decided not to get another one until I finished school. I second that, I worked all summer to get a Laptop and the most I could afford after that only had 256 Mb of ram because over here the things are still expensive. You still see cheap laptops with 256M RAM and upgrading them is often relatively expensive.” “A lot of the hardware sold with XP-home today have less powerful specs. I know YMMV, and maybe these guy’s just got lucky, but problems like you describe don’t seem characteristic of the Dell machines I’ve seen. I’ve really seen nothing wrong with their Dell machines except that since they can’t buy them locally here they have to send them out to get them fixed if hardware fails under warranty which hasn’t happened yet). ![]() They do have a good sysadmin out at the organization, but not in their homes (so they do get trouble with malware). It’s now been a little over a year since they bought their new Dell boxes, and so far the machines are still performing as is expected of them. I don’t know what your bad experience with Dell was, because obviously I’m not seeing it with these machines used by the missionary organization. They have gotten reliable behaviour out of the machines, so much so that they’ve bought some to bring into their own homes and even there the machines perform well. Obviously as a missionary organization they are strapped for cash, so while they might not be buying the lowest end machines from Dell, they are still constrained to the low end of the price range (probably about CAD $500 – 600 per machine). There might be a user support community to produce security patches – just like the XP patch that was recently released – not by MS mind you.įWIW there is a missionary ogranization up here that buy’s Dells, and they’ve built up a fairly solid network around all their machines and Novell Netware. People will leave their machines as they currently are until they crap out and have to buy another one. Will they switch to mac? – Well – with Intel Macs coming out in June (and the mini being slated as one of the first models to come out) – people *might* switch – after all they already havea monitor, KB/Mouse, and running their windows software might be an option in the near future with little/no performance hit – but again there will only be a small amount of switchers to the mac – just as in the linux case. WIll they switch to linux? Some people who are inclined to switch now, might get that little extra push – the majority I don’t think will. People will think – why should I buy XP Pro? To the end user those two versions seem identical! Last I saw – Vista had some pretty hefty requirements – how would it run on a (insert unkind word) $300 dell, eMachine, other PC computer that runs XP Home now? – People will be surprised when they buy Vista and are surprised by the speed (slowness)

![]() And so it remained all day and has showed no sliver of change this evening. But what greeted me opening the tent flap was not my favorite scene: total whiteout and driving snow borne on an easterly wind. I overslept a little this morning, which, actually, I was grateful for, as the previous forty-eight hours’ labor has been hugely draining. One evening, two weeks into his journey, he said: (He performed this bit of modern magic by calling, on his satellite phone, a friend in England, who recorded the dispatch and then posted it on Worsley’s Web site.) His voice, cool and unwavering, enthralled listeners. Each day, after trekking for several hours and burrowing into his tent, he relayed a short audio broadcast about his experiences. Worsley’s journey captivated people around the world, including legions of schoolchildren who were following his progress. Everyone back here is keeping up with what you’re up to, and very proud of everything you’re achieving.” A few weeks earlier, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, who was the patron of the expedition, had broadcast a message for Worsley that said, “You’re doing a cracking job. He was also raising money for the Endeavour Fund, a charity for wounded soldiers. One contained the adage “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Another, written by Joanna, said, “Come back to me safely, my darling.”Īs is true of many adventurers, he seemed to be on an inward quest as much as an outward one-the journey was a way to subject himself to an ultimate test of character. They had scrawled inspiring messages on his skis. He mentally painted images onto the desolate landscape for hours on end, and he summoned memories of his wife, Joanna, his twenty-one-year-old son, Max, and his nineteen-year-old daughter, Alicia. He had grown accustomed to the obliterating conditions, overcoming miseries that would’ve broken just about anyone else. On the ice, though, he resembled a beast, hauling and sleeping, hauling and sleeping, as if he were keeping time to some primal rhythm. He was also a sculptor, a fierce boxer, a photographer who meticulously documented his travels, a horticulturalist, a collector of rare books and maps and fossils, and an amateur historian who had become a leading authority on Shackleton. Worsley was a retired British Army officer who had served in the Special Air Service, a renowned commando unit. One misstep and he’d vanish into a hidden chasm. His eyes scanned the surface for crevasses. When the terrain became too steep, he removed his skis and trudged on foot, his boots fitted with crampons to grip the ice. The trek had begun at nearly sea level, and he’d been ascending with a merciless steadiness, the air thinning and his nose sometimes bleeding from the pressure a crimson mist colored the snow along his path. Worsley’s sled-which, at the outset, weighed three hundred and twenty-five pounds, nearly double his own weight-was attached to a harness around his waist, and to drag it across the ice he wore cross-country skis and pushed forward with poles in each hand. And, whereas Shackleton had been part of a large expedition, Worsley, who was fifty-five, was crossing alone and unsupported: no food caches had been deposited along the route to help him forestall starvation, and he had to haul all his provisions on a sled, without the assistance of dogs or a sail. The journey, which would pass through the South Pole, was more than a thousand miles, and would traverse what is arguably the most brutal environment in the world. Sixty-two days earlier, on November 13, 2015, he’d set out from the coast of Antarctica, hoping to achieve what his hero, Ernest Shackleton, had failed to do a century earlier: to trek on foot from one side of the continent to the other. According to his coördinates, he was on the Titan Dome, an ice formation near the South Pole that rises more than ten thousand feet above sea level. device to determine precisely where he was. The man, whose name was Henry Worsley, consulted a G.P.S. ![]() The temperature was nearly minus forty degrees Fahrenheit, and it felt far colder because of the wind, which sometimes whipped icy particles into a blinding cloud, making him so disoriented that he toppled over, his bones rattling against the ground. Get wet and you die, he often reminded himself. It was hard to breathe, and each time he exhaled the moisture froze on his face: a chandelier of crystals hung from his beard his eyebrows were encased like preserved specimens his eyelashes cracked when he blinked. Every direction he turned, he could see ice stretching to the edge of the Earth: white ice and blue ice, glacial-ice tongues and ice wedges. The man felt like a speck in the frozen nothingness. ![]() Next time I will think twice about procrastinating when a reminder pops up on my phone or computer. Hopefully that is the end of that problem, fingers crossed. It’s been a couple of days and the MacBook is running better than ever without heating up and low CPU usage when idle. Just to be safe I reformatted the drive before reinstalling the operating system. I was running the latest version at the time of writing this, 10.15.5. The only thing that worked was restarting in Recovery mode (Command + R at startup) and reinstalling macOS Catalina. Trashed reminders preferences from Library folders.Toggled multiple power management settings.Disabled/re-enabled calendar syncing in iCloud settings.Disabled/re-enabled reminder syncing in iCloud settings Discover and play music albums featuring Insomniax - How Does It Feel (Radio 1s Future Sounds with Annie Mac) by Viper Recordings on desktop and mobile.Deleted all past completed and future reminders.Edited the date for the reminder I had been postponing.Marked and unmarked the reminder I had been postponing as completed.Here is what I tried with multiple reboots: I thought the solution would be easy but I was mistaken. I guess my constant postponing triggered some kind of bug in the reminder or power management daemons. I had been postponing a reminder for over a week and the date and time in the system info coincided with the initial date of the reminder. Then I checked the System Information app and noticed in the power section that it had reminder events in the past that were somehow still showing up there. Unfortunately I didn’t take any screenshots but I will describe the details as best as I can remember them.Īfter noticing the CPU usage, opening up the Console app revealed hundreds or thousands of error messages being generated by remindd. I opened Activity Monitor and noticed the powerd process consistently using the CPU around 100%. Running it very hot or shutting it down were the only choices since closing the lid or selecting sleep from the Apple menu did not work. The other issue was that it was impossible to make it sleep. If you have an alternative to the InsomniaX app, please mention that too.A few days ago my MacBook Air started running fairly hot with the battery draining quickly.

![]() Getting Libby on the Fire will require approval from Amazon. Japan’s Rakuten conglomerate bought OverDrive three years ago for a whopping $410 million in cash (the official name is Rakuten OverDrive), so the wherewithal is there. For months, however, to no avail so far, I’ve been asking OverDrive to fix the omissions listed below. Just the Fire omission alone could be costing Libby many thousands of users. Simply as a booster of ebooks for libraries, I’m glad to see OverDrive’s digital book business growing, but that’s no excuse for the smugness-at least about the non-Amazon issues-when clearly the resources exist. Your yourself can write changes suggested here would be good for OverDrive itself, not just libraries, mass literacy and library-inspired book sales. I hope that the American Library Association will care as well. Whether you’re a librarian or a patron, please speak up to your local librarians and tell them to contact both OverDrive and Amazon. ![]() But at least OverDrive can control the copies distributed and enjoy more leverage with Amazon. If that won’t work, then OverDrive should allow direct downloads of Libby from -for Fire users-even though less tech-savvy people may be challenged. But ideally OverDrive will try harder to turn Amazon around. It’s high time that OverDrive- “the leading digital reading platform for libraries and schools worldwide”-filled in the gaps.Īmazon’s stubborness is almost surely the biggest barrier in the case of the Fire. And for now, the notes and volume control features aren’t “on our roadmap.” OverDrive has “nothing new to report” on the Fire, according to spokesman David Burleigh. My thanks!īut Libby still cannot (1) run officially on the popular and affordable Amazon Fire tablets, (2) export notes through email or otherwise or (3) let you press a volume control button on your phone to move on to the next page or return to the previous one. The bold option is a must for people like me who suffer contrast-sensitivity issues. I myself appreciated OverDrive’s belated addition of all-text bolding after heartfelt pleas appeared on TeleRead and Facebook. In some places here in the States-I don’t know about outside the U.S.-you can even use Libby to sign up for an instant library card. Make sure to opt for “APK” files, not the ones labeled “Bundle.”Īfter it’s done downloading, tap “Open” from the message at the bottom of the screen.Libby, the ereading app from OverDrive, is a nice, easy way to find and read library books.

RELATED: How to Sideload Apps on Android How to Install APK on Amazon Tablet APK Mirror is our recommended source for sideloading. Sideloading apps circumvent these protocols, so you need to be careful about where you get the apps. It’s certainly not perfect, but it’s something. ![]() The Amazon Appstore has security protocols to make sure the apps and games you download are safe. Warning: Sideloading is disabled by default for a reason. You’ll need to manually re-install new versions of apps and games if you want to stay up to date. That process is handled by app stores, which we’re not using. One thing to keep in mind about sideloading apps is they won’t be able to receive automatic updates. It works just like sideloading on an Android phone. At their core, Fire tablets run Android, and Android supports sideloading.
