The search being free is half the reason. Or maybe 1/3. The other reasons are that in plenty of cases it takes more than when I’m trying to understand something and I’m not sure what (like, today, I was trying to understand how the circuit of sewing machine pedal works) and I had to do several searches in order to figure that out since I wasn’t even sure what is the right term.

The other one is that I’m not native English speaker, and often, I search for a term in one language, then the other. Or I need to do a search, just in order to find the right term.

They estimate that a Google user searches 3/4 times a day.

Whut?

I probably do 3/4 searches an hour. Including while I’m sleeping.

Hi,

Sadly, it appears that doing this requires skills way overy limit. But maybe this would be useful for you.

Yes, you got it right.

Thanks for the answer, I suspected that this would be the case from the suggestions, but thanks for explaining.

I saw that someone did that, but it’s too much of digging into his explanation for me to manage to do it.

There’s a work computer and a home computer. I don’t want my work files ending up on my own computer (for confidentiality reasons) and I don’t want my porn viruses ending up on my work laptop.

There are two issues here:

1. I have only one monitor
2. I would like to avoid the risk of copying files between the computer

It’s a standard Windows machine. It has a ssh.

I have a docking station, or better said KVM, connected to the monitor, keyboard etc. Currently, I’m switching the KVM between the laptop and the desktop machine using a USB C. I wonder if there is a way for me to turn my desktop into a KVM.

Sadly, no. Since I don’t want to install anything on the work laptop. On my own machines, this would have been the solution

Yes, I have such a device. But I wonder if I can remove it. The less things on my desk, the better. Basically.

Hi! Yes! Thanks!

Thanks!

My work is using Google drive for Sync/back up so that is covered by them.

Personal data is automatically synched (syncthing) between three computers in different rooms in my home + some of the files is copied to my phone and tablet. I consider adding also an online server for further redundancy

I’ve started using orgzly + synching in the last few weeks. I think that this will give you what you need.
