I know how to block calls on my Android phone but that is not a great game plan here
anyone have experience with "Hiya" or "Nomorobo" software ?
The root cause is a friend in Denver uses Century Link for land line & email
the hacker got into her gmail which has my protonmail account info and I think they got my phone number from that hack
She has a Tracfone account that might be involved this seems impossible famous last words.
I am on the National Do Not Call Registry which has never worked for VOIP calls

I build UI's for our commercial inkjet printing systems. This means a display on top of a cabinet that's the operator panel for the machine.
I really, really hate getting "screen captures" that are phone pictures. From three feet away  .

Try looking at any of the programming forums on Reddit. Endless reams of questions about code which don't include the code, or even a screenshot of the code; instead, they include a low-res photo of their monitor with some of the code on it. 
It's a great reminder of one of the many reasons why CodeProject's QA doesn't allow pictures.

If you want to code, but you can't take a screen shot using print screen or something you need to pack it in and find a different calling.
Maybe I'm being harsh.

I'm afraid the consumer inkjet industry copied our business model. We sell hardware (printing press plus the inkjet) more-or-less at cost, and then make earnings on ink and maintenance. It takes years of equipment sales, ink, and service on a product line to recoup development costs and to begin making a profit.
This has been How Things Are Done in commercial printing (not just inkjet) since Gutenberg  .

Aside from the usual gripes about the over complicatedness of CSS from a usability standpoint, I have problems with it from an implementation standpoint.
CSS requires a DOM, just like JS does. With JS it's understandable. With CSS it's because they added a lot of more or less quasi-useful "convenience" features to their selectors.
If you could only do class and id based selectors your entire document could be parsed top-down, which is much more efficient than loading it all into RAM.
Why does it matter? Because embedded things exist, and HTML is so prevalent. If it wasn't for CSS a lot more devices could render a reasonable subset of HTML5.
I think they should at least come out with a standard like say eCSS (for embedded) that's a subset for forward only processing.
CSS is illustrative of what happens when you give a standards committee nothing better to do for decades.

I have a love/hate relationship with CSS. I love what it enables me to do (layout and styling), but I hate having to google the selectors/syntax when it gets complicated...however there's certainly no shortage of references to anything you need to do.
As for html/css/javascript, I chose this combination recently to render scorecard style reports in a winforms project. Build a webpage bit by bit and throw it into a browser control...it takes me back to the late 90's when I was building webpages with classic asp!

I have a friend who was given a lighting console and was told that the previous owner thought the hard drive was on its way out. We're thinking about trying to replace the drive, the problem being, we need to copy over the OS as well, and there's a really good chance it's not Windows or Linux like most modern lighting desks; it's quite probably something custom. The other problem is this desk is officially obsolete, so the re-imaging kits that used to be available are no longer listed. We'll try to locate one, but not holding out much hope.
So here's the thing. The disk isn't very large (haven't checked but unlikely to be more than 250GB), so a replacement won't cost much, but I'm not sure what the best way would be to, essentially, do a "tape-to-tape" copy of the disk.
Any suggestions?

There are hard drive reimagers that literally take hard drives in two slots like they were bread in a toaster.
If you want something to produce an exact copy regardless of filesystem, it's a pretty safe bet, as long as your ailing drive survives.
Here's one[^]

Thanks, I hadn't come across those, and it's certainly an option. I have a SATA docking station, I wonder if there would be a way, with a second docking station, to effectively simulate what this does. Maybe a linux boot and a low level disk operator - does dd do this sort of thing?
Thanks for the pointer, anyway.

dd might work, but honestly, I'd pay for the hardware for peace of mind. It's so simple it does a sector copy. it doesn't care.

Hiren's boot CD had several possibilities. If the disk is old I would recommend v10.1 or less. Those had the good'ol norton ghost low level version that started to fail at the end of Win7 or with big disks.
I remember an old software too called "Alcohol 120" (120% it burns all) that could do a verbatim copy of disks and drives.
There should actually be a lot of software out there that can cope with it. The only thing I think you should be careful is to do a copy of the whole original disk, if the new device is bigger you can still restore it as a disk and if you really think you need it, to reduce the disk to a partition later and use the extra place for something else.

Clonezilla live CD/USB works here. IIRC, it uses dd.

That is a pretty good guess.
Does "around" mean "sounds like" ? I thought it was a clue that the text is within the word, like Cir-something-cle.

This part was clear. I understood so far the word "around" as : the word along with it would be cut in syllables which would be put "around" the rest of the clue. So in this case "ring around" = "Circle around" = "Cir - rest of the clue - cle". In this case however, "around" means "sounds like". Which I did not expect.
Not only does explaining it break the charm, but it seems that I cannot even bring it to my point.  Silly me  !

You are absolutely correct in your logic - there was a mistake in the clue

Ah okay ! Sorry for the question, I am still trying to understand the subtleness of CCCs, so sometimes need an explanation. I managed to solve only one since DD started with them, so I still hope to up the count.

So, when I was starting this out, the thought process was:
Circled was the ring, and it would go around the rest of the answer. That means that Circled should surround the other part of the answer. However, my mistake was dropping the l and e here.
So, with the rest of the answer, Circled would have gone around ulate. That pesky l/e was my blindspot here, if I had left it in, that would be Circlulateed.
