Indeed, because it’s already been answered. It’s an invaluable resource.
Especially if you’re a struggling programmer and looking for easy to exploit example code.
Exactly. At my last job we called ourselves Stack Overflow Developers.
As if there are other kinds.
You know, for the most part I haven’t minded having a windows 10 MS account (instead of local), at the very least it has made windows license management easy.
But why in god’s name is file sharing so difficult between two Windows 10 systems these days. Despite both accounts being MS accounts I can’t just do \\my-desktop\c$ from my laptop as it asks me for credentials it claims are wrong (they aren’t).
So now I need to make a shared folder that anyone can access just to transfer files from my desktop to laptop. Annoying.
SE is great if you’re searching for answers via search engine. Not so great (or hit-or-miss) if you’re going there personally looking for actual assistance, IMO. They make money off the former + ads. Helping people is incidental. There are quite a few trolls too.
I have yet to find any solution (even to anonymous sharing actually). Everything is extremely old and outdated. Homegroups are no longer a thing apparently (or it’s not available on my system?) but 9 out of 10 things still talk about it. There’s some new bluetooth sharing capability but that doesn’t work cause my desktop doesn’t have bluetooth.
Fucking dumb, why is this so hard. I might just dig out a usb drive because this isn’t obvious.
I’ve never set up file sharing outside of the classroom, but you could try something like TeamViewer. IIRC you can transfer files between host and client.
I don’t trust TeamViewer after their security issues 2 or so years back.
usb stick it is blah.
Yeah I was very mad about homegroups since in my house we do a lot of sharing. The solutions you can find at MS forums are a) share to everyone with no permissions, or b) why aren’t you using a file sharing app like OneDrive anyways?
Incredibly frustrating. Homegroups were really nice.
AFAIK, the “intended” way of doing that in Windows 10 with a Microsoft account is OneDrive.
If you want to use traditional shares, you pretty much have to do it the traditional way - set up a local account on the machine hosting the folders. Give that account access to the share. When accessing remotely, use that account’s credentials.
Or be in a AD network.

Yeah, just setup local accounts everywhere. Not likely to have a ton of computers at home so it shouldn’t be an issue.
That sucks. I needed Words a few years back to finish my thesis (trust me, trying to get all the necessary margins and rules correct with one drive was not worth the hassle), so I got a cheap tablet that came with One Drive for a year. 4 years later, I still am subscribed because Windows doesn’t make it easy to do what I can with One Drive. Plus, it’s nice to have the documents available on the cloud if I am away from my desktop.
Kind of off-topic, but why the hell can’t we look at Word files’ “source code”!! Adjusting margins and crap is often so much easier in HTML and CSS, and they’re not that hard to learn.
Is there a reliable/easy/free way to convert Markdown to Word? (From command line or other command as long as it’s not simply cut-and-paste.)
