Looking for the most efficient water boiling device to run off a solar powered battery setup. That could also be used at home. Any suggestions?

I used to have 4” thick memory foam. It was comfortable and really helped my back a lot. Being so soft supported me the way I need a mattress to. I liked the softness but I didn’t like the sinking feel or waking up drenched in sweat.

I bought and returned three mattresses in a year for sagging and comfort issues. Now I’m doing a diy mattress.

I have one 3” layer of Dunlop latex so far. Seems like an ok springy base layer, but much too firm to sleep on directly. Waking up with back pain.

I like a luxuriously soft pillow top type feel on those high end mattresses. How could I create that with a DIY setup?

(And without memory foam)?

My mentor of three years has passed away. He had created and shared with me numerous folders and many, maybe hundreds of files in Google Drive. Mostly Google Docs he had written. But many other file formats as well, like PDFs etc.

I can still access them (for now) but not sure for how long.

Question: How can I download the actual files and folder for myself to keep? So I have them indefinitely?

I heard you can “make a copy” but that you just have a placeholder to the file and not the actual file itself.

What can I do to preserve these files please??

I’m in a small group of people who were using a Synology DS+ to chat and share files with each other. One member of our group was an IT guy and set it all up. He gave us user names and passwords and shared a bunch of files he created. Unfortunately he passed away last month. Chat and Drive were still working for a while but then the security certificate expired.

I could still access it though. But then his relatives turned off his internet service. So now we cannot access his NAS. I would like to access the files to make a backup of them. We would also like to keep chatting on it.

If his relatives took it to their house, plugged it in and connected it to their internet, would it work aga

I’m in a group I want to stay in to read all the old posts and new posts. But one member has become toxic and extremely disruptive to me and the group. We can’t remove them because the admin owner of the group has passed away. And no one else has admin rights. If I block them, they can’t dm me at least. But will it still show their messages in my groups that they’re also in? Is there any other way for me to never see anything that one person posts in our group?

I am in a Telegram group where the owner of the group has passed away. All of us non-admin members still want to talk to each other and reference the earlier posts, but one member has become toxic and disruptive to the group and will not remove themselves. Is there a way to remove that person, even though we’re not the owner or admin of the group?

When you’re relocating to a new city and state and you don’t have an address there yet, but you need to ship your car because you’re leaving your old city, where do you ship your car to in the mean time?

I have an old device I want to charge via battery bank at 5V 1A. That’s what its original wall plug puts out.

The battery banks I have are 5V 2A, 3A or 3.2A.

What USB-A device could I use to convert those battery bank outputs down to 5V 1A?

I’m in a group chat with a few other people. One of them sent an image I wanted to delete just for me. I selected it, and instead of “Delete” I tapped “Clear Chat”. Thinking that would clear the photo I had selected.

Nope. Instead it cleared the entire two years of chat history in that group chat. Thankfully I clicked “only for me” and another person confirmed they can still see the full chat history on their side.

So… the chats are all still there. On the server I guess?

Is there any way I can get them back into my chat channel on my device?

This happened on my iPad. I also have Telegram on my iPhone which I have put into airplane mode so far and not opened the Telegram app yet.

Still looking for one app to do everything related to my personal productivity:

Projects Tasks Goals Reminders Calendar Scheduling Notifications

Anyone found a good one?

I want to see: My life’s goals All the projects related to them All the tasks in each project Ideally a timeline view (Gantt Chart) so I can see how long projects will take A calendar to add meetings and appointments, and time block my day each day Task and Calendar notifications on phone Something to help me prioritize tasks

I’m open to analog methods, but I assume this would be an app.

Is there one app that’s really good at handling all of these?

I personally feel that entertainment is a waste of time. I am working to create a life I truly enjoy living, and reaching my goals which will require a lot of honest work and dedication over a fairly long period of time. The more of that I can get done in a day, the sooner my goals will be a reality.

So is there any benefit to “entertainment”?

Entertainment is usually just sitting there, unconscious of your own life, watching something else unfold on a screen or on a stage. Doesn’t help me get any closer to my goals whatsoever.

Or… does it help by escaping my own life for a bit, having a bit of “fun” so I can relax and come back and be more productive again the next day?
