I'm using Windows 10. With my laptop (14", 1920x1080) it defaulted to 150% scaling. No issues but I want max information so I set the scaling to 100%. The text is tiny but very readable (with reading glasses). With my desktop if I set the scaling to 150% some apps (like Explorer and...

I have 3 x 24" monitors 3' away (100% scaling). Further back is better but it depends on your eyesight. These days I wear mild (1.0) reading glasses. Just because your computer is new doesn't mean the software and drivers are up to date. With a new built my second step (after installing...

So far the best grid storage is water. Pumping water into a hydroelectric reservoir is around 80% efficient. Coupling a renewable (like solar) with hydroelectric "standby" power actually makes sense. Especially in places like Lake Mead.

I don't have experience with the Excel API but I do know that MS Office was available in 32 and 64 bit versions. I have Office 2010 (32 bits) and the IB API requires a 64 bit version.

I manage an old site that used a legacy linux server. They discontinued my free email so I had to pay for the ones I needed. I still had free forwarding so I could transition most accounts to forwarding. A few months ago the site was moved by GoDaddy to a new server which required some code...

That's probably 3,552 KB or 3.5 megabytes. XML = eXtended Markup Language. It's a standard way of defining stuff. In this case the file contains the definitions of all your charts, watchlists, screens, etc. Even a new tws.xml is 2MB since it has the default layouts for all the different types...

Income and worth are just snapshots in time and change from year to year. The assessed value of my house went up $700K last year. It will probably fall $300K this year given the housing market. Good to know if I ever set up multiple accounts.

hover.com (formerly TuCows) is one of the oldest and most popular. I also use webnames.ca. I've also used GoDaddy but they're big on the upsell.
