Thomas Pfister came with a nice solution to this question:
[WayBack] Does anyone know how to embed a superscript Registered symbol in a Rave memo buffer? – Phillip Woon – Google+
Since Google has such bad indexing of G+, here is the solution:
procedure TForm4.RvSystem1Print(Sender: TObject);
const
SuperscriptOn = RPTFPrefix + RPTFSuperscript + RPTFOn + RPTFSuffix; // from RpDefine.pas
SuperscriptOff = RPTFPrefix + RPTFSuperscript + RPTFOff + RPTFSuffix;
var
MemoBuf: TMemoBuf;
begin
MemoBuf := TMemoBuf.Create;
try
MemoBuf.Text := 'Test' + SuperscriptOn + '®' + SuperscriptOff + ' Test';
MemoBuf.PrintStart := 0.5;
MemoBuf.PrintEnd := 8.0;
with Sender as TBaseReport do begin
PrintMemo(MemoBuf, 1, true);
end;
finally
FreeAndNil(MemoBuf);
end;
end;

A while ago, when upgrading from CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20170206" to CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20170213":
aRetrieving: monitoring-tools-1.14.0-4.2.x86_64.rpm ......................................................................................................[error]
File './x86_64/monitoring-tools-1.14.0-4.2.x86_64.rpm' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/'
What happened is that the local zypper configuration was out of sync with the repository. A zypper refresh solved that.
So I expanded my zypper-twup alias to always include the zypper refresh.
Then I updated the documentation from [old WayBack] openSUSE:Tumbleweed upgrade – openSUSE to [new WayBack] openSUSE:Tumbleweed upgrade – openSUSE.

Somehow I missed this:
- August 2011: [WayBack] Status: Intel has posted a firmware update for the Intel® SSD 320 Series (firmware 4PC10362) which addresses the Bad Context 13x Error being discussed on the Communities site and elsewhere. You can download the new firmware here: www.intel.com/go/ssdfirmware
- December 2012: [WayBack] Download Intel® SSD Firmware Update Tool
- [WayBack] Solid State Drives/Memory cell clearing – ArchWiki
- [WayBack] Intel SSD back to life success story (using Lin… |Intel Communities
So I made a file and an image backup, then updated the firmware.

Does anyone know how to disable Edge popping up with a failed link www.msftconnecttest.com/redirect on machines blocked by a router?
This happens on the PC running Windows 10 Pro N (winver shows 1709 build 16299.371) that is not allowed to do any internet access.
Related: [WayBack] How to Find Out Which Build and Version of Windows 10 You Have | ilicomm
Later:
This seems to be intended as per these links:
This can happen on Windows 8 and up when Windows thinks there is a partial network connection and a logon to a proxy or captive portal might solve the solution.
Allowing these in the proxy for port 80 solves the issue:

Critical thinking resources like these are some of the best ones for learners to have. Share them so they can use them as references and tools for development every day.

A while ago I had an Intel Matrix RAID-1 pair of drives that got broken. One of them turned “red” and – since both drives were only a few serial numbers apart – the other was giving issues the moment I tried fiddling with it.
These actions failed:
What had succeeded was a regular Windows backup (a non-image one).
This is what I finally did to get it working again:

For a long time, this was hard: [Archive.is] How to switch off the sound on the desktop Hangout? – Google Product Forums.
A lot of people complained, often in a not so nice way.
The solution – that took years to appear – however now is very simple:
Click the options hamburger on the top left, then remove the checkmark for “Sounds for incoming messages”

Even when the Delphi team was large, the documentation was lacking, so with the reduced Delphi team size, I don’t have high expectations of the below to get fixed.
But since much of the post Delphi 7 run-time library looks a lot like the .NET core, you can usually fallback to the Microsoft documentation.
Tip for the doc team: make http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/en/System.TMonitor.Enter more clear. Especially that if the same thread calls TMonitor.Enter more than one time, it will allow entry without blocking as per System.Threading.Monitor.Enter Method (Object) documentation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/de0542zz
(note that this got introduced in Delphi XE3: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/System.TMonitor.Enter)
