Need to check which sizes they do deliver, but I got referred by Stefaan Lesage in theTech45 #256: Interfeesje PodCast. Stefaan absolutely loves this:

DYMO Drivers and Downloads has the Windows drivers for my LabelWriter 400:
I’ve had this LabelWriter for a long time, but I retired my physical Windows XP PCs a while ago so I needed to get it connected to a Windows VM on my ESXi rig.
The rig and printer are almost 10 metre apart (bruto distance through cable ducts) which is beyond the maximum USB distance of about 5 metre. A repeater or Active Cable can get around that limitation. Basically these repeaters are bus powered 1-port hubs. I already had good experience with a 5 metre extender combined with a 7-port external powered USB hub to connect the XP machines to some USB printers in the printer closet (a 5 metre USB cable sometimes would fail; the repeater always worked).
So I bought a 33ft 10M USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Active Extension / Repeater Cable, fed it through the cable ducts and added these devices to my VM:
Now I can print my 36mm x 89mm Dymo 99012 (or compatible) labels again (:

Recently I bumped into it again with one of the more current Delphi XE* versions and Delphi 2007: the IDE changing the DFM files without reason.
This time it was in a multi-team environment with many branches and DFM merge hell.
A few examples of properties and components getting changes:
Warren P suggests to review your DFM changes before committing to version control and I completely agree: it is the only way to ensure they are indeed unwanted changes.
There are some stop-gab things you could try, but these only partially help

It’s not reproducible yet, so I need to find out why under some rare circumstances, devenv.exe (the Visual Studio IDE) generated build.force files. Sometimes the build then fails, most of the times it succeeds.
Hopefully this has to to with non-project references.

A while ago, YouTube started to automatically play the Next video after your current one was finished. I didn’t notice the Autoplay setting to be persistent after browser sessions as between tabs it isn’t synchronised and I hardly restart my browser (as I usually have like a hundred research tabs open).
So I adapted the steps from: How to turn off YouTube’s new autoplay feature – CNET
To disable the feature, click the blue Autoplay slider switch that sits at the top of the right-hand column of Up Next videos. It’s that easy, and when I turned it off, YouTube remembered I did so after both browser and system restarts.
