You've landed on an excellent garden path sentence, as shutters, cap, and table are all both nouns and verbs!

I'm not talking about importing transactions, that's not a feature I use because it'd take longer than entering manually if you did it daily. I'm talking about the scheduled transa…

That's the heading, the title is still "small staff" for me. The heading is what shows at the top of the page, you'll see the page title in the browser tab's name among other place…

They don't have to worry about SLAs if they just never acknowledge that they had any downtime!

It's a school - write or find a comprehensive set of instructions (for the happy path), give each student a chromebook and a blank USB, and have them do it. You get usable laptops …

Steam is there, with Proton, and Lutris. It's almost a better experience than the twelve different launchers situation I left behind (though they're annoying in very different ways…

It doesn't get the chance to build up in a laptop because of the fan. A 20W phone fast charger gets much hotter than a laptop, even though they should only be wasting a couple of w…
