Firefox points the way to eradicating one of the rudest words online: PDF

PDF is a reasonable way of posting a printed message.

PDF can be read not only by Adobe Reader but many other online applications such as Chromium, Emacs, GhostView, Krusader, LibreOffice Draw, Okular, Opera, XnView MP, and others.

Windows 10 May 2019 Update thwarted by obscure tech known as 'external storage'

How To Recover Volume Names

In Windows 10, the volume numbers can be changed by:

1. Opening the Control Panel

2. Selecting System and Security

3. Picking Create and Format Hard Disc Partitions

4. When the disc manager appears:

A. Select a volume to be renumbered

B. Depress the right mouse key to choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths"

C. Select "Change" and you will be able to display a list of available new

volume numbers.

D. The names then may be changed by renaming the new volume numbers.

Keep in mind that Windows allows only "A" to "Z" volume numbers; and,

I think "M" may not be allowed. "A", "B", and "C" being dedicated to

special uses, this makes for a total of 22 usable volume numbers -- a

total which should be enough for anyone!
