Permissions. We hate them (as they always stop us from doing what we want) and yet we love them (as they make sure nobody does what we don’t want them to)…
But what happens when you want different permissions on folder than on files?
One may randomly encounter a Windows installation where some bluetooth devices don’t get their drivers installed despite having installed all of the manufacturer’s drivers.
In such cases, one may end up with one or several non-functioning “Bluetooth Peripheral Device”. To solve this, start by downloading and installing Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1…
Working with Wordpress installations all the time, I get to encounter the weirdest issues. One of theme is the all-known “unable to upload media”, translated by Wordpress to a clear and yet useless message.
First step is, naturally, to check permissions. But what do you do when permissions are perfect, and yet Wordpress can’t upload?
Three months after installing KB2670838 and updating my graphics drivers from Catalyst Mobility 13.12 to 14.4 the font rendering issue popped up. Except I didn’t get issues with text rendered in pages, but in Firefox’s menu /tabs / titlebar itself.
Nobody would think an update installed that long ago could be the culprit. Everyone would think the newly installed driver is (and it definitely has something do to with the issue).

One can never have enough backups. Backups are important and you shouldn’t let one day pass without having them. I recommend creating system-wide backups (either the entire system partition or the entire hard disk) periodically.
But for that bit of data which is frequently changed/updated/replaced, you’ll need a more often backup schedule. This can be easily achieved with an archiver and a bit of scripting…
Hard disk jumpers where a necessary nuisance in the IDE/(P-)ATA days. Jumpers made the difference between a functional and a non-functional hard drive.
Fortunately, they disappear in the S-ATA age. Well, almost… While totally unnecessary nowadays, jumpers are still needed to fiddle modern S-ATA drives to make them compatible with some early SATA implementations motherboards.
I’m one of those maniacs who hates the Office 2007+ / Windows 8 “ribbon” interface on programs.
I consider that on a wide screen using an interface where up to a third of the height is filled up with useless huge buttons is just stupid.
Thankfully, FoxIt Reader (still) offers the option to return to the old non-“ribbon” toolbar mode…
