Libre is still far from perfect with super-heavy excel spreadsheets. If you happen to know the type of person who uses excel to do things that should be a real computer program.

My dad was an accountant for most of his working life; and after his retirement his main source of entertainment appears to be creating ridiculously complex excel spreadsheets. His main masterpiece that covers all his investments and whatnot is I believe well over 100mb; but he also tracks the most ridiculous poo poo - like he has spreadsheets tracking his fuel consumption and the cost of fuel going back decades.

it amazes me people will seemingly go to the lengths of the earth with excel and not just spend like a week or two learning basic relational db theory or r or something that is light years more catered to mass calculation

Lol, we do a ton of stuff in excel at work... seriously, we had to move some people to x64 office because some of the sheets wouldn’t open and calculate in 32-bit office. I had to recompile our COM addins to work in both versions. While it’s not ideal, in the back of my head I’m always thinking: Spreadsheet applications are responsible for the PC revolution more than any other app by a wide margin. Their ease of use and power is literally what caused most businesses to buy computers and hence make them affordable for the average person. No matter how much spreadsheets suck to work with sometimes (they do), they have quite a legacy.

Is there any way to get Office 365 to shut the gently caress up and stop trying to switch my account over to my university email? I have a personal license that I use but because I have my .edu email added into Outlook I get a desktop notification every 10 loving minutes telling me that there's a problem with my school account and I need to enter my password. There is no problem; I still receive my school emails even if I just ignore the notification. Entering my password, however, changes my Office account and OneDrive storage over to my school e-mail.

I'll ask here first, but if I need to make a new thread, lemme know: I'm about to transition from one computer to another, with the same WIndows 10 Home product key. Currently set up where my C drive is an SSD with Windows 10 and a suite of my most used programs (chrome, media players, etc), whereas my secondary drive has all the media, and games. The new computer will use a different drive, so it won't be as simple as dropping both drives into my new computer. So, since I've never done a win 10 migration, I'd like some guidance for the smoothest migration between 2 computers, retaining the same Windows 10 Key, preferably with as little hassle regarding passwords or things. If anyone could provide basic step-by-steps regarding the migration, assuming my other computer can turn on and it works, I'd appreciate it. Any sort of guide/tutorial would be great, too. Also I do have an external hard-drive for dragging and dropping files.

You can either enter your existing key on your new machine (after migration) or go to Settings -> Update & security -> Activation and link your activation to a Microsoft account. Migrating alone won't transfer your license. To clone your SSD to a new computer, download Macrium Reflect. Either clone to the new drive from your old computer, or create a USB boot stick in Macrium and clone it on your new computer (either connect the SSD via USB, or use an intermediate drive to store an image on and later write to the new drive, or connect it via SATA).

(w10 home) I've asked this before but have any advancements been made in the "literally never make your taskbar obscure the poo poo youre working on" department, i literaly do not ever possibly care to have it pop on my screen unbeckoned i have display fusion but the only options seem to be for not allowing it to go over full screen windows which i probably run approximately zero also display fusion taskbar settings have seemingly been wonkily implemented on every PC i use it on  E: a goon itt or the other windows one was kind enough to link a win7 tool that stopped taskbar but i didnt get it working in w10 Worf fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Nov 24, 2019 |

Apps that are foreground have activity and it brings the taskbar to foreground , obscuring parts of 3 windows As for use case I'm on mobile and it's boring and not worth typing out. Just don't want or need a taskbar getting in the way of anything. I manually call taskbar as needed or use KB shortcuts/keybinds for most functions I need

We’re still on office 2013 at work so I hadn’t thought of this. That is cool. From our perspective, we just had to recompile since everything’s in .net using CCW’s to integrate with COM/excel. It just sucked to manage 2 different packages. Pretty sure upgrading to the latest office or o365 or whatever is gonna happen next year. Anybody hear that you will be able to use python integrated into o365 like VBA? I know I read it somewhere but can’t find any info now.

Possibly turning off "Animations in the taskbar" will stop the taskbar from popping over without mousing onto it? System properties -> advanced system settings -> performance -> visual effects

So I built a new computer with a fresh install of Windows 10, and under "Other Devices" I have 2 "PCI Device" entries and a "PCI Encryption/Decryption Controller", all with yellow signs and exclamations near them. There's nothing super fancy in my computer that uses pci-e except my new radeon 5700 which seems to be working fine. What can I do to identify what this is?

I've had that before and it was related to my motherboards chipset. Updating those drivers manually fixed it.

In the devices' properties pages, go to Details > Hardware IDs, and note the VID and PID (vendor and product ID). They usually look something like code:(VID 13D3, PID 3458. That's a Realtek Bluetooth adapter.) Googling those numbers will usually either lead to the manufacturer's drivers page or give you enough information to find it.

Stink Terios posted:I'm going to clone my boot HDD to an NVME M.2 soon, what is the preffered procedure and software? Macrium to do the clone. Moving to an NVMe may not be bootable, if the drive uses a specialized driver or your source was booting with MBR / legacy bios. Having a w10 installer usb stick handy would probably be a good idea, so you can try the repair in that event.

Is there any way to tell if the drive is using MBR/BIOS? Regardless, I have the USB stick ready. The install is pretty new and the entire rig (sans psu) is less than 6 months old.
