    Solved! Adobe Acrobat Pro DC: why does added / edited text look FAINT, THIN? πŸ€”πŸ˜΅

    Steltek, thank you! Insanity... :-) Properties -> Fonts dialog shows a long list of identical Times New Roman rows. I think you're exactly right: the doc's author used a slightly diff. variation of the font. I downloaded another Times New Roman font (TTF), and it looks slightly different still...

    Solved! Adobe Acrobat Pro DC: why does added / edited text look FAINT, THIN? πŸ€”πŸ˜΅

    Any Adobe Acrobat Pro DC users out there? :) I'm editing an existing eBook, but any text I type (or cut & paste within this doc) looks thinner and more faint than the original text - even though the font is the same Times New Roman. Are there extra font settings, like weight & thickness? Even...

    Is it safe to remove a ceiling tile in an apartment building? 🏒

    Greetings all! Is it safe to remove a "hanging ceiling tile" in an apt building - I'm concerned with possible gases/toxins in the air above them. It's the same tiles you find in your non-telework office. Above them is just empty space of the multi-apt building, with some dust. It's not...

    "Runaway" / possessed electric bike? 🚲⚑

    Many bikes sold in the U.S., including those on Amazon, are the exact bikes you can buy from AliExpress. Still, as my nickname implies, I've seen bugs in all kinds of apps and systems, that's why I'm being [overly] cautious :-)

    "Runaway" / possessed electric bike? 🚲⚑

    Motorcycles are definitely more dangerous than e-bikes (I'm referring to bicycles in my post), but you still had to pull the clutch to get any acceleration, didn't you? I'm mostly concerned with a glitch/failure that could prompt the e-bike to take off on its own

    "Runaway" / possessed electric bike? 🚲⚑

    As they say, "everyone gangsta" until their e-bike goes 0 to 20 into a busy intersection with them sitting on it (most likely, without a helmet)

    I do indeed, but I figured with all the strict federal laws, checks, and safety measures, my car is a much safer vehicle than an e-bike off AliExpress :-)

    "Runaway" / possessed electric bike? 🚲⚑

    I'm considering getting a powerful ebike -- ideally, not a mere pedal assist but a real twist throttle to go ebike. My major concern is a possible "runaway" where the motor could start on its own at a bad time - e.g., I'm waiting at a busy intersection, or on top of a mountain, or at another...

    Bidet / toilet question, oh my! Helping an old relative

    The cold water is really cold in large apartment buildings. I tested it. Even the under-the-toilet faucet is very cold to the touch. I wonder if it's cold enough to induce butt clenching or spasm :oops:

    Bidet / toilet question, oh my! Helping an old relative

    Well yes, my dear European skidmark-free friend, but you also have castles with hidden bathrooms of large proportions, which you can retrofit with additional toilet bowls such as your example above :-) Most American bathrooms lack the space to install this "intended bidet", not to mention...

    Bidet / toilet question, oh my! Helping an old relative

    That's a pretty cool contraption! I hope a home attendant robot will handle all butt-wiping tasks in the future. Respect for taking care of your wife and helping her through the difficult times. In my case, I'm looking for a more hands-off approach where the caretaker would "automate" the...

    Bidet / toilet question, oh my! Helping an old relative

    It's quite common for a manual bidet to take "two inputs": a hot and a cold water line separately - one connects under your sink, the other to the toilet cold water line. The unit mixes without the need for a heater or pump. Just google or Amazon for "manual hot water bidet". These units are...

    Bidet / toilet question, oh my! Helping an old relative

    Thanks for chiming in :-) This building's hot water is "always and instantly hot". But great point about the (un)likelyhood of just the cold water being cut off! Maybe my scenario isn't plausible, which is good - then the chance of butt burning is virtually zero :-)

    Bidet / toilet question, oh my! Helping an old relative

    Nice find, thanks! I have to see if it'll fit, and it's definitely not cheap, but it might be worth it. This one heats up the water internally, so the water supply's temperature is of no concern here.

    Bidet / toilet question, oh my! Helping an old relative

    I'm just gonna dive right in. I'm helping to take care of my very old grandfather who can't quite reach "back there" and clean himself after a toilet visit, and I don't want him to get sores or an infection. I'd like to buy him a BIDET (you know, what they've been using for ages in Asia and...

    Question Tricky TV / gadget question

    Hi, thanks for the idea, but unfortunately my TV like most others force you to choose a folder/file to play - so that's extra buttons and popups. But I solved the problem - the TV remote has a "WEB BROWSE" button, which opens the Chrome browser - and I set its homepage as a picture file on my...

    Question Tricky TV / gadget question

    Hopefully, this is the right thread! Can you guys please recommend the cheapest, easiest way to INSTANTLY display a picture on my TV? (maybe by switching INPUT to a very inexpensive device/player that's always displaying that picture?) Let's say, my (future) kid is watching TV and I want a...

    Can it be done... How to connect a 3.5 desktop HDD to a laptop {without USB}?

    I wish there was a male to male SATA cable - that would let you connect any SATA drive to your laptop internally and "indirectly" . (My laptop has a second SATA port for the internal DVD-ROM drive, which I pulled out. Without such a cable, it's impossible to elegantly feed the data and power...

    Can it be done... How to connect a 3.5 desktop HDD to a laptop {without USB}?

    News update! :-) Laptop's SATA hard drive and desktop SATA hard drive have the SAME connectors. They are PHYSICALLY identical - both the power and the data channels. The problem is the desktop drive needs more power, so even if you plug it into the laptop's internal SATA connector (because...

    Can it be done... How to connect a 3.5 desktop HDD to a laptop {without USB}?

    That's what I mean, where can I get this connector? It's exactly what I'm asking. I believe the laptop's internal SATA port is different and cannot be simply connected to a 3.5" desktop HDD

    Question How long should a HDD last?

    The same as a life expectancy of a person. It can break at any time, due to a mechanical or electrical failure. Always assume your hard drive is about to crash fatally and you'll lose your data. SMART monitoring will sometimes help as it'll warn about impending doom, but not always. I had a...

    Any work-arounds for installing CHROME on Windows XP?

    Beleph - older versions of Chrome, like the one you were able to install, contain known security flaws and bugs, and aren't recommended any more. I really want to force-install the LATEST version of Chrome, or copy all files like I mentioned. I know it's not easy. Any ideas, maybe someone has a...

    Radiation / Emission from Chinese cell phones? (new info)

    What's up guys, I need to replace my ancient cellphone, and eBay has many high-end "gray" phones, made in & shipped from China, with LOW prices and specs as nice as on the Samsung Galaxy or iPhone 6.
