All the geeks talk about how on the holidays, we're the ones who spend the event in the back room doing software updates and getting printers to work. But what they often neglect to mention is that we're all _happier_ doing that than engaging in social interaction…

Looking forward to updating our parents’ computers this weekend!

Another exciting tech question for the Masto massive.

I need advice for Wordpress[com] assistance. I have a friend who is locked out of their site - theyve had it for a long time but recently got locked out and cant recover it bc they dont have any proof its their account. Does any Wordpress guru have a tip on how to rescue this situation?

So, Firefox ate itself today. None of my various profiles seem to restore the prior functionality. I guess it's time to try a backup restore and see what that begats.

Is there a way I can give YouTube a list of languages to _not_ auto-dub into English for me?

I speak Spanish; I don't want your shitty English translation.

I'm learning Italian; if I click on a video in Italian, it's probably for listening practice.

Google's help page on this seems to be aimed entirely at content creators, not at viewers: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15569972

Passwords are a scourge foisted on elderly tech-users. :(

I just got back from a house call with a fellow who can’t remember his passwords for his email. None of his backups work. His little book of passwords, useless.

There is no support to call for help.

His only option is to create a new email and leave the other behind.

Over and over I have seen this trouble. Not always to this extent, but always the same frustration.

Passwords are elder abuse.
