I tried and it didnt work. the search opens, but then suddenly closes shortly after. Not only that, when I click on SearchUI.exe I get a message saying "The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application." any help?

Thank you for this.
Working great on both Chrome and Brave browsers for me. I suspect where people are running into issue may be they are copy-pasting the entire...
‘Chrome://flags’ and/or ‘Context menu show full URLs’
...using the apostrophes ( ' ) still attached. They simply need to leave them out and they should be successful.

Thanks for this Rhiannon - it's a great find. Wile the site is good for generating background noise that distracts from or masks ambient sounds, it is also a really useful way to create background soundtracks for video and sound collages.

"Chromish" I love that. Progress is good.

@rhiannon, you always get a 5 from me as you bring new and interesting stuff for us But your wallpapers are often better that the offering; this one looks like cosmic boobs but you abstract is great! :))

Works like a charm. David Microsoft voice is perfect. No mistakes.

Success at last! Thanks for your help.

I just tested this using portable Chrome I downloaded a few minutes ago. It's version Version 83.0.4103.106 (Official Build) (32-bit) downloaded from Portable Apps, not the 64 bit version. I pasted the URL for this article into the address bar. The https:// and the www are showing. I'm attaching a screen shot. I did try this in an older version of portable Chrome and it didn't work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are you running a portable version? Or is the current version installed? This is the version I have:
Version 83.0.4103.106 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Here's a screen shot of the context menu in the chrome flags:

Worked for me on CHROME but not BRAVE. Could not find 'Context menu show full URLs'

They are similar. Teh add-on has more options and the narration is much higher quality to my ear. I like the add-on text highlighting as well. And if you don't use Firefox, you can still use it on Chrome. :)

Are there similar apps that run under Linux or Android?

Depending on how much detail you need to type / recall
UK's Kalender saves the data on your PC.
I just went back 3 years, and all of my entries back then are still visible, and can be expanded to see extra notes that I left on those entries.

My understanding is that VPNs are supposed to give you a different virtual location. I'm not familiar with Wireguard.

Don't ALL VPNs hide user location? How about WireGuard?

Thanks for the information. :)

rhiannon, I don't have a "geo.location" setting in about:config in Firefox 77.0.1
What I did do is set "geo.enabled" to false and "geo.provider.ms-windows-location" to false.

It's a pity that almost all sounds on the Android app are pay for (tho Google rewards dollars can be used)......but thanks for the notice. Haven't had time yet to play with the site on my PC.

It's a web app that works inside your a browser. Most browsers work fine on Android and iOS. 

rhiannon, I think you might be able to help with Waterfox. I started using it and loved it far bettter than Firefox. However a problem arose and I figured out what was causing it and contacted the developer who became kind of snotty and refused to fix the problem.

The problem arises in how WF handles memory. FF, if you recall, opens a new block of memory if too many tabs are opened. In my work I generally have 80 or more tabs open at once, and FF has them sectioned off in 8 or 10 separate blocks of memory. WF however, tries to keep them all in one block of memory which slows the computer down severely. A second problem arises as I save the files to disk. It doesn't release the memory, so even if there is only one tab left open, that same huge block of memory sits there intact, slowiing my machine down to a crawl. It takes existing WF to release that memory.

I tried explaining that to the WF developer and all he said to me was, he designed it to be a "single process operation". I asked him what that meant, but he never answered me. I will keep checking and when he does an upgrade on WF, I'll try it again to see if it still has the same problem.

Thanks ... /ed

Glad you like it. :)

Since we are talking about "tweaking" tools, a very useful one I've been using for years is 7+ Taskbar Tweaker. It makes Windows 10 taskbar a lot more bearable!

all this is a mute point as:

Nice webistes ! Recommend the other magnet links search webiste https://bthub.site always working normal and unblocked

Wow, I can say this is another extraordinary article obviously of this blog. Bookmarked this webpage....

I don't know what to tell you about reverse look up of the address. In a browser it resolves to an invalid URL. If used as directed it resolves and issue with Windows Media Player.
The URL akamaitechnologies.com returns a server IP address could not be found message. If there's something in the information or the article that makes you uncomfortable or you feel is dangerous, don't use the information. In any case, Akamai underlies a good percentage (15% to 30%) of all web traffic.

As to the game server not working, Microsoft shut down their Internet Games server (Windows XP, ME, 7) on January 22, 2020.

You're very welcome. :)

They have some good calendars there.

this looks suspect
a reverse address lookup for 2.18.213.82
results in
akamaitechnologies.com

so i feel like either this article is not current, or there's something you're not telling us
btw, if you can find a third party redirect to fix the problem with internet backgammon and spades, i'd be interested in hearing about it

Another interesting article about SEO audit.

Very interesting article.
I used Evernote but which over time became too complicated and limited in free version, then I switched to Simplenote which is very simple as the name suggests. The problem is that he sometimes loses information ... I also had corrupted files.
So I'm looking for new solutions. I am currently testing TreeNoote (https://treenoote.com). It’s pretty cool !

Rhiannon I think you recommended this?? https://www.remove.bg/

I managed a night sky in the background..

@ Another great Northern Lights.

I checked the account with no "hide meet" option yesterday and today it is there.
Again thanks for this info. One less annoyance.

Google and Amazon both are on a mission to drain out the resources of other big tech giants. Torrent is also among the largest search engine but in a different domain. Extratorrent site also faced the same circumstances and here is how you can access the original site using extratorrents proxy.

It hasn't rolled out to my gmail account either as of today, they said it would take a few weeks to get to everyone. Turning chat off leaves Meet options in the left sidebar. It hid the large notification that was blocking part of the screen.

Hmmm that's interesting. I logged into Gmail just now, I went from the Inbox to Settings, no Chat and Meet. Went back to the Inbox, went back to Settings, and Chat and Meet is now there.
