Dawn Tåke 🌙 :sparkletrans:<p>Hey all, Windows 11 question.</p><p>Is there a good weather widget that is free, minimally invasive, (telemetry, etc.) preferably FOSS, and can show multiple cities as a bonus?</p><p>I'm having to use Win11 for work, so I might as well make the most of it. Also the requirement of "free." I'm not spending money on my work PC. I have the local weather with the installed by default MSN weather, but I like to see how it is where my friends live too.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Asktodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Asktodon</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/TechHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechHelp</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Windows11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows11</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Win11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Win11</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/TourmaLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TourmaLinux</span></a></p>
Damon L. Wakes<p>I recently picked up a 1979 Intellivision console being given away at the side of the road. Anybody know what cable/adaptor I need to hook it up to a screen? (There were no cables in the box.)</p><p>I think the console has an RCA connector putting out an analogue RF signal of the sort an old TV would pick up through the antenna port. Is that right? And if so, would the cable pictured work provided I could find an RCA to antenna coax adapter?<br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retro</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Intellivision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Intellivision</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/TechHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechHelp</span></a></p>
Matthew Whitaker<p>Hi everyone, hope all is well. Quick question for those using Patreon on iOS: where can I find the download button to save videos? I’m using VoiceOver and can’t seem to locate it.

Dr Pen<p>Please tell me how to get rid of this cross that shows up on Moshidon current version and opens emoji stuff as an option when you reply to a post. I really do not want this. It wasn't on the old Megalodon (which I still think is a pref UE). But, I think it's to do with mastodon.social settings bc it's not in my Mementomori account interface if I view that with Moshidon. Help/advice appreciated.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techhelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techhelp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/moshidon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moshidon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/moshidonapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moshidonapp</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>android</span></a></p>

ok so my decade-old WD single-drive NAS is on its last legs. a dedicated commercial NAS box (e.g. Synology) is not on the table. Connecting some USB drives to an old laptop or raspi *is* a potential option. I could be missing useful options.

Has anyone else had issues with Google Messages and the RCS not sending messages. I keep getting a "Message delivers when [contact] is online...." Or I can manually switch to SMS or send via SMS when it fails (despite being set to supposedly switch between the two which it doesn't do)?

It seems to be only one contact that I know of (my dad). Both of us have #android #motorolaphones both of which are 2023 Razr+.

Has anyone got experience with Intel Optane memory?

The hard drive on my HP laptop is a regular SSD with a smaller Intel Optane drive integrated into it. The Optane is where the OS (Windows 10) is installed and is used to quickly retrieve files from the SSD and so forth.

The Optane drive recently malfunctioned and became unreadable. The SSD portion (where all my files are stored) seems to be intact—at least, it's reading error free when I run a disk check. But with the optane malfunctioning, when I turn on the computer it tells me there is no operating system installed, so I have no way to access the "good" part of the harddrive.

From what I've read online, the only way to get the computer working again is to switch off Intel Optane and install a new operating system directly onto the SSD. But if I do this, the entire hard drive gets formatted, and I lose all of my files.

I'm not good with this stuff. Is there any way to recover my files? Unfortunately my backup system failed too and I've lost 6 months of art and academic work 😢

Am I looking for a unicorn? I remember blogging days and it seemed building a website was easier. I want to make a simple site using a template or some basic widgets and connect it to a domain I own. Without any monthly subscriptions or fancy plans. Just a simple, static site. A Luddite/low tech site that doesn't require knowing how to code #tech #webdesign #askfedi #techhelp

Our TV, a 25+ years old Toshiba, has now got a bad screen.

I think someone here once mentioned not buying a TV, but buying a display screen to avoid all the AI smart TV internet connected stuff that we don't need.

What would we look for to get one?

Only looking for something that is only about 26" to 30" (660mm to 760mm) diagonal in screen size.

Edit: Recommendations would be nice, but not Amazon links, please.

Thank you.
