Re: friendly file dates column name ?

Nikos. would it be possible to make the new date function independent of regional settings ?. I noticed that if the systems short date format is set to mm/dd then X2's date system emulates that, what I'm thinking of is keeping my OS system date format as mm/dd, and in X2 display it as mm/dd/yy. Or a...

I had forgotten that X2 must be closed. What harm is done by double clicking the settings if X2 is running ?.

Re: Transfer window hangs when copying data to external drive

I reinstalled the latest version of X2 and all is working as advertised, no issues with the transfer window if destination drive is full. Nikos a suggestion, The "Import Settings" is a bit unintuitive, I forgot that one has to highlight the settings file first before clicking on "Impo...

Transfer window hangs when copying data to external drive

If the external memory drive doesn't have sufficient space for the data and a copy is initiated, X2's transfer window opens and freezes at initiation of copy, force closing the application is the only way to unfreeze it. (no messages are displayed). If I initiate a copy to the same external drive wi...

Re: blog: artificial intelligence primer

artificial intelligence is scheduled to take over jobs/humanity for the last 50 years now, but we're still in for a long wait! Wrong, you fall into the "Oh just train them for something else" group. Their was a limit to human displacement due to pure mechanical mechanisation, but the adve...

Re: blog: artificial intelligence primer

First one has to define intelligence. My definition of Intelligence is anything that can read Shakespeare and understand it, or anything that can write Shakespearean type novels. In the short term AI machines will replace humans at any service orientated work, menial tasks. Bang, there goes your min...

Re: blog: to bitcoin or not to bitcoin?

it wouldn't hurt to do a little hedge based on the stoopidity of the masses to push crypto prices even higher. To hedge you must have a underlying asset to hedge against, what exactly are you hedging against?, you can Long or Short something then hedge that bet with a appropriate option, that's wha...

Re: blog: mass rename ebooks

Does this edit the book's metadata or just the filename ?. Many ereaders parse the book's metadata for information hence it would be pointless/hacky to only change the filename. Similarly with mp3's its pointless to change the filename only as the metadata has the information which is parsed by the ...
