Just in case I want a replacement battery/Accu 9.6 V 2000 mAh for Bosh type 2607335461, there are two:
For me the type doesn’t matter as my AL60DV 1411 chargers can charge both types if they are between 7.2 and 14.4 volts:

Nice html report of your battery state in Windows 8 and 10 where 14 is the number of days:
powercfg /batteryreport /output "%temp%\battery_report.html" /Duration 14
start "View Report" "%temp%\battery_report.html"

Every time I logged onto a freshly installed Rasbian system (Debian Jessie), I had this message:
The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright. Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Asking for the locale settings would give this:
jeroenp@raspberrypi:~ $ locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Searching for raspbian jessie “-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)” I found fix locale issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian@543e9b4 [WayBack] that fixes Locale issue on Debian Jessie · Issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian · GitHub [WayBack]:
When logging into to a freshly booted debian jessie image:

-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)Source: Locale issue on Debian Jessie · Issue #15 · scaleway/image-debian
I changed the crux of that solution to this one:
echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen
When running, it showed this:
# echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen Generating locales (this might take a while)... en_GB.UTF-8... done en_US.UTF-8... done Generation complete.
And logging this:

A while ago – while researching yesterdays post – I came across the below article that I wrote back in august 2000 for The Delphi (by Pinnacle Publishing – long gone by now) and on-line at http://www.delphidevelopernewsletter.com/dd/DDMag.nsf/WebIndexByIssue/B8FC16D8103A3760852568F600559A83
I found a cached copy first at http://www.txsz.net/xs/delphi/2/%E6%8A%80%E5%B7%A7%E5%8F%8A%E7%BB%8F%E9%AA%8C/KYLIX%EF%BC%9A%20%E7%9C%9F%E7%9B%B8.HTM and back-tracked from there.
Since the wayback machine isn’t indexed, I salvaged the copy below.
On the Delphi Tokyo release yesterday [WayBack] Tokyo is available today! – Martin Sedgewick – Google+: I will only try that after Update 1 is released, but based on the [WayBack] What’s New – RAD Studio:
Time will tell if it works better for me than the .NET Core for Linux I’ve been using until now.

I totally forgot that GExperts can be under the Tools men
GExperts IDE configurationu (I’m so accustomed that Alt-X is GExperts and Alt-M is ModelMaker Code Explorer).
These keyboard shortcuts are only assigned when you install GExperts before you install ModelMaker Code Explorer.
If you reverse, then you have to fiddle by removing the ModelMaker Code Explorer expert, then re-add it.
Anyway: you can configure this in the “IDE” tab of the GExperts Configuration.
After that you have to restart the Delphi IDE to reflect the change.

Still not sure why (as the WiFi here didn’t change) but I had the LED of my ScanSnap ix500 scan button light up orange instead of blue.
Via How to Connect More than One Mobile Device to Your ScanSnap iX500 [WayBack], I found out it means this:
If the light is orange, go to the ScanSnap Wireless Setup Tool and check the mobile connection.
Evernote suggests to have it re-connect over WPS [WayBack] but in as WPS has big security issues this is not a good idea.
So I hooked it up over USB and re-registered it to the WiFi connection. You can do this from both a Windows PC and Mac:
configure your ScanSnap iX500 to a different router, follow the step-by-step instructions here [WayBack]
If I ever want to use it on Linux: it is possible to get it to work, see 12.10 – Does the ScanSnap IX500 work with Ubuntu? – Ask Ubuntu

Explains how to find out top 10 files and directories under Unix / Linux using sort and du command in human-readable format.
Interesting, especially

If you use everything search from VoidTools, then don’t be surprised that pressing Ctrl-T makes it “Always On Top”:
Ctrl-T sets “Always On Top”
Of course this is not defined in “Tools” -> “Options”.
I forgot in which version this was introduced, as in the past I never stumbled over it on keyboards that have Ctrl and Alt reversed.

Hosted at: Decode URLs from The Great Suspender after a browser restart fails to reload them
Converts URLs like these:
chrome-extension://klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg/suspended.html#url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.barryodonovan.com%2F2012%2F06%2F29%2Fmigrating-svn-with-branches-and-tags-to-git
back into
http://www.barryodonovan.com/2012/06/29/migrating-svn-with-branches-and-tags-to-git
Source below.
It decodes a URL encoded by The Great Suspender which is a cool Google Chrome plugin that suspends pages after some idle time.
The uncool thing is that when Google Crome restarts after a crash (it’s software, it does that, especially as it consumes truckloads of memory and is full of memory leaks) it often fails to restore some (but not many) of the suspended pages into a usable state: it shows only the encoded URLs.
