That feeling you have been living under a stone since 2014: [Wayback/Archive] finding duplicates – voidtools forum
1.4 Beta has both dupe: & sizedupe: functions.
(In the Index, you need to index the file size & also enable Fast size sort.)
You can combine them, something like:
> dupe: sizedupe: c: file:
Or even add a size to it:
> dupe: sizedupe: c: file: size:>2MB
Note that that finds file name AND (I believe its an AND) file size duplications – anywhere, not necessarily limited to C:, & also that name AND size are the only qualifications for “duplication”, as in files meeting that criteria may not be (byte-by-byte) “duplicates”.
A partial excuse is that these never made it to the changelog at [Wayback/Archive] www.voidtools.com/Changes.txt or [Wayback/Archive] www.voidtools.com/BetaChanges.txt.
It is in the documentation since May 2017 at [Wayback/Archive] Searching – voidtools though:

Just found out about the liquidation of [Wayback/Archive] ISOSTEEL Deutschland GmbH, Wiesbaden.
Their availability of spare caps were the reason for getting their thermos flasks and caps in the first place. As a bonus, their flashs had a wide opening as well. Much wider than the 25+ year old HEMA thermos flasks I used before (one of which the cap had died, the other one lost its vacuum):
The Isosteel caps are slowly dying, which means I need to find an alternative brand that provides spare parts and has a large flask opening, and kept liquid hot for 24 hours or cold for 48 hours. Just see their prior products at [Wayback/Archive] “ISOSTEEL – Isoliergefäße aus Edelstahl”.
Liquidation:

The whole idea of “community questions” was to create collective topics or references about important material without gaining any “points”.
Stack Exchange has left that concept in the dark by closing questions like this 2010 one that still contains relevant links: [Wayback/Archive] Sites for beginning Delphi programmers – Stack Overflow
The next step by their moderators is to delete the question, which will lose the valuable material forever.
Stack Exchange also dislikes humour.
And Embarcadero keeps deleting useful sites.
So for posterity, here is the question plus answers in full, amended with archived versions of each link when still available (I used † to mark the dead ones):

[Wayback/Archive] Steve Troughton-Smith: “I’m sure everybody is sick of …” – Mastodon
I’m sure everybody is sick of hearing about ChatGPT by now, but one OP feature it has is the capability to translate code between different programming languages, for example from Objective-C to Swift (or vice versa). An incredible accelerant, if nothing else. This was indeed the final push I needed to get @broadcastsapp over the finish line on its migration, and Broadcasts v3.1 doesn’t have a single line of ObjC left 🫡

Even een reminder aan mezelf, omwat we aan Remeha Calenta Ace hebben en het niet helemaal duidelijk is of deze bij de vorige bewoners echt goed op het huis is ingeregeld.
Het nadeel van Remeha is dat ze volstrekt chaotisch onduidelijke handleidinge hebben waar het lastig is essentiele instellingen in terug te vinden: er zijn veel te veel instellingen met allemaal onduidelijke nummering waarbij hele reeksen nummers worden overgeslagen.
De Remeha Calenta Ace serie is inmidels zo’n 7 jaar in productie.

I hope someone has also archived all these in the Internet Archive as this is a great collection of historic material: [WaybackSave/Archive] GitHub – gingerbeardman/apple-human-interface-guidelines: Apple Human Interface Guidelines, et al.
If you have more of them: add them via a pull-request.

A client that went belly up in the early 1990s had all these and similar books. In retrospect, I though have found a way to obtain them but back then I didn’t value the uniqueness of them enough and didn’t have the storage space for it (I lived in a 30m² apartment).
