The topic has been bothering me for about a year now. Strangely, it doesn't seem to affect very many users (compared to the millions of Windows users) – or they don't mind. Symptom As soon as a file or folder disappears in Windows File Explorer, the left pane, the folder view, jumps somewhere. All the way to the top, all the way…

Attention! Obviously Google Drive has „improved“ (made worse) the tagging function, please scroll down to „New method“. Especially if you (like me) are married to a Filipina, Asian woman in general, you a) don't want to do without photos & selfies... but b) at some point every booked Google storage space will run out. And then you have 10,000 (tens of thousands,...

And tomorrow marks the beginning of the year... what if 2023 were to be enchanted? Those who know me know that I tend to be critical. Especially with IT systems, that's my profession. But also with Germany. As such, in recent years, I haven't shied away from criticizing the (political) developments in the best of all German states, where...

But that should be enough flattery. What particularly impresses me is something else: The technical quality with which she and her husband approach their productions. With their...

There are things that shouldn't exist. And precisely because of that, IT remains exciting and new. After an update to Fritz.OS 7.21 (and presumably with SMB3 activated), Navision and the command line refused to execute the Rename command. However, I needed this to save a processed file with a new identifier (i.e., rename it). So…

Many people discuss trade, money, and Target2 balances without really knowing what they are talking about or writing about. Because the concept of „money,“ which is common and present at almost any age and in almost any corner of the world, is not so easy to understand and explain. I'll give it a try...

Have you often wondered what your colleague actually does all day? It's easy to be tempted to sneak glances at their screen. If your own frustration is high enough, you might even consider illegal (!) surveillance measures. But for an initial assessment, that's not at all...
