What if they don't use quotes to perform a search? Is it true that an ID mixing with common terms, without number, e.g. happyfunnybeauty rather than a very unique string of letters e.g. kenny263468 will give a lot more unrelated results from search engines?

Whatever version of my name, it is likely to be occupied already. More importantly, it won't make a difference to what I said above. Did you read what I said above? As I said, gibberish characters will more likely give an exact search results on Google.

Do you have any advice for a new email address or user ID? For example, my name is Kenny, but we all know that it is almost impossible to get an ID with "kenny" alone for every web service, because they are all taken, not even kenny2 or kenny3 in most cases. I have thought about adding a random number to make it like, for example, kenny14537, but I think someone who knows my ID (which is something I cannot avoid) would easily find out all of my other web activities with the help of Google, because this is a very unique ID. I do not want to use different IDs for different services because it will be extremely inconvenient. I want to keep one word for everything. If I use an ID mixed with common words like happy, rich, pretty, flower, world, for example, I use an ID like happyrichpretty, happy.rich.pretty, or happy_rich_pretty (which may not be occupied), will it be harder for someone to find out my other web activities on Google? Will it mix with many other unrelated results? Or will it make no difference because they can make an exact search with quotes? In other words, is there any advice for making up an ID that is likely to be available but at the same time, while it is searched on Google, there will be a lot of unrelated results mixed?

anyone familiar with iPhone, iOS and iTunes?
kenny1999 replied to kenny1999's topic in Computer Science
If I backup my iPhone to my PC with iTunes, then I have a backup copy, and then I delete some of the photos and videos on my iPhone and keep using the iPhone to take more new photos and videos. In fact, I am doing this because my iPhone is running out of space, I don't actually want to discard those photos forever, and I don't have a budget for a new iPhone with bigger capacity at the moment. (My current phone only has 64GB). I can only get a new iPhone next year. I'll have two backup copies of photos and videos, some photos and videos are older (i.e. created before I delete them on my iPhone), and some are newer (i.e. created after I delete them on my iPhone). When I get a new iPhone of bigger capacity later, how can I transfer them all to the new phone? I cannot figure out the logic, it looks like it is not possible. -
Does paper need to be sterilized or cleaned?
kenny1999 replied to kenny1999's topic in Amateur Science
How long do bacteria, virus, pathogens etc usually stay in paper before they leave or die? UV is a good recommendation but I probably won't do it to a book with hundreds of pages, which is a huge waste of time. I often read and borrow books from public libraries. But I almost always find strange and unpleasant smell, not strong though, from those books. It's hard to tell how those smells are like, but I am sure that I am not overreacting. -
Sorry, I don't understand. I mean, for example, there are two devices which are of the same model and brand, and I don't find any printed serial code, for example, two USB flash sticks which are of the same capacity and model, could there be anything inside the devices which make them different? When they are connected to a computer, is there any different value or parameter sent to or logged in the computer from two devices?
-
Thanks. I understand. Whether in or on is used depends on the context and their relativity. I now have another question. Example, I saw him last month, it's perfect because that I saw him is usually a quick and one-time action. But what if I'd like to say that I often worked overnight last month? Which one is correct? I often worked overnight last month. I often worked overnight in the last month. I often worked overnight in last month. Also, which one is correct? Suggesting or emphasizing that I drank a lot during the time. I drank a lot last week. I drank a lot in the last week. I drank a lot in last week. By the way, is simple past tense the most appropriate tense?
-
I understand your explanation. But how about the example "On the last month of the year....." suggested in the above reply?
-
Is it common to see the phrase "on the last month", "on the last week" or "on the last year" in spoken or written English? I believe that "last month" or "last week" alone is absolutely correct. For example, I saw him last month. This suggests a point of time. I also know that "over the last/past few months" should be correct, it suggests a period of time. What would it mean if it's correct to say "on the last month"? I first started learning English 30 years ago, when I was a kid. In fact, I never saw such phrases before.

I mean, for example, I get two computer keyboards of exact same model, will they have the something like serial number or code that distinguishes one from another? Will it depend on the brand or will it depend on the value of the device? I did some research on Google, some suggested that cheaper device e.g. USB hubs or flash drive of less reputed brands may not contain any identifying number to distinguish one device from another. Is that true? Another question is, if there is a unique number for each device, when they are connected and powered, will such unique number be recorded somewhere in the computer?

anyone familiar with iPhone, iOS and iTunes?
kenny1999 replied to kenny1999's topic in Computer Science
Hi. If I transfer a photo or video taken with iPhone to my computer through USB cable, which means it is original and not degraded, and then I delete it on my iPhone, and later on, I transfer it again to my iPhone. Will my iPhone (or iOS) treat the photo as it was never deleted? I am asking this question because I find that iPhone will automatically detect face, allow search of text in photo, and look for duplicated or similar photos and sometimes make category by itself. I don't know if these functions will lose if a picture is deleted and transferred back later on. -
If I create a full backup of my iPhone with iTunes, the data/copy is saved on my PC, later on, some photos are deleted and some new photos are created on my iPhone, then I update the backup with iTunes, will it also delete the photos in the backup? For example, I have taken some photos in Paris, then I create a full backup with iTunes and the backup is kept on my PC. I then delete all photos taken in Paris on my iPhone only, and then I take new photos in Frankfurt and update the iTunes backup. Will the new iTunes backup still contain the photos taken in Paris?

I have a video where there is about 20 seconds of conversation in English that I don't understand. I really want to know what they say. I can read English without much problem but my listening ability is very bad. English isn't my first language. You just listen to it and type out the exact wording for me in text. That's all I need, then I can understand. You don't need to explain it to me or make any subtitles files for me. I am NOT a youtuber or clip worker, I can do something for you as a return. You don't need to download the video. I have a link. Please send me a private message here if you can help, and let me know what I can do for you as a return. Thanks a lot.

No. I am not writing webpages. I mean, there is a website I visit frequently, almost every day. But many of their hyperlinks are opened in new pop-up Windows. I hate it, I'd like to let them always opened in new tab, rather than a new pop-up Windows. I think it won't involve any programming, right? I am NOT writing websites.

I watched a video on Youtube suggesting that a mixture of vinegar, tablespoon sugar and dish-washing detergent will trap and kill common flies. I don't normally use vinegar and I don't understand vinegar very well. I can see that there are many different names for vinegar in supermarket. Are they more or less the same? Will one attract flies while another doesn't? By the way, I found another method which was to make a mixture of cheap beer and white sugar. I think it's easier to do with only cheap beer and white sugar, but will this method work as effective as the first method? (i.e. vinegar+sugar+detergent)

Not as absurd as you are yes, then how better is the quality of a more expensive one?

What could miss when transferring data from one phone of any model to another? I have a phone which was released and bought in 2018 and it is failing. I'd like to buy a new Android phone and transfer all possible data to the new phone. But, what kinds of data and information that will possibly miss when doing so? What is the best way to copy/transfer/clone everything from one Android phone to another while preserving as much data as possible, no matter if the data is considered meaningless or useless, e.g. phone call records, length of calls, sms message, etc by the way, could there be any loss of information when transferring from one phone to another? Let's take an example, could gps location or camera information or camera information of an image or video lose after being transferred to a new phone? It's just an example, not exclusive to image or video. Welcome all kinds of thoughts and comments. My aim is to preserve as much data and information as possible and know what it could miss.

is a cheap budget phone good enough for my purpose?
kenny1999 replied to kenny1999's topic in The Lounge
Hi all above, thanks for all the advice, I am going to read and study them in a few days. Meanwhile, I have copied a comparison of my current old Android phone bought a few years ago and the phone I am now interested in. Will these "better" worth an upgrade? Because my old Android phone can still be used correctly, only the battery is a bit failing. 1.67x more battery power? 5000 mAhvs3000 mAh 4GB more RAM memory? 8GBvs4GB 4x more megapixels (main camera)? 50 MP & 2 MPvs13 MP 32.14% faster CPU speed? 2 x 2 GHz & 6 x 1.8 GHzvs8 x 1.4 GHz 22.55% bigger screen size? 6.74"vs5.5" 1.6x more megapixels (front camera)? 8MPvs5MP 192GB more internal storage? 256GBvs64GB -
Hi, what did you mean by "A wig is sure to be 100x harder than a cap" ? harder? What does it mean? Harder to choose the best fit? I am not embarrassed to go to an offline shop but I don't even find one nearby.

I am using Firefox to browse websites. There is a website that I visit every day but most of their hyperlinks are opened in a new pop-up windows which is very inconvenient. I once used another computer and happened to find out that their hyperlinks were opened in the new tab, rather than a new pop-up windows. I like this. I am certain that It wasn't because of the update of the website, it was only because of the setting of the user side. How can I make it?

can I find out when a drive was last connected or accessed?
kenny1999 replied to kenny1999's topic in Computer Help
Sorry but please forget about encrypting the hard drives or flash drives. I only wish to know how I will be able to find out the "actual" last accessed time of the drives but not the current time when it is connected by me. Thanks. -
What is usually the difference between cheap wig and expensive wig for male? I have male pattern hair loss in an advanced stage and I have been wearing hat for years and now I am tired of it and wants to try a hair wig. I can see that the prices could range from $20 to somehow $200 or even higher. No offline shop nearby and I can only buy online, so I cannot touch and see the quality. Any experience on this issue?

can I find out when a drive was last connected or accessed?
kenny1999 replied to kenny1999's topic in Computer Help
Hello. Generally unreliable? What did you mean? I am not living alone and someone in my home may use my drives without my permission and he will lie. But I can assume that he isn't a tech geek and will not be able to do anything advanced. But, when I connect (and thus power) the drive again, will the last accessed time be updated to the current time so I won't be able to find out the time I am actually interested? -
Which way of calling someone is more anonymous?
kenny1999 replied to kenny1999's topic in Other Sciences
This is not an issue at all. I am calling someone that I know him, and he knows me, but he doesn't have any of my personal information or contacts and I wouldn't like to give him. We got to know each other offline.
