Copy file path (Windows)

When looking to copy the entire file path, right click on the file while holding down the <Shift> key, then choose the menu item “Copy as path”. This instruction is for a Windows PC or laptop.

Copying the file path can be useful when needing to insert a full path in the terminal or when sharing the location of a shared file with someone on your local network.

Find Your YouTube Comments

youtube icon with caption "what did I write?"

Older people seem to repeat themselves a lot. Since I’m now “older”, I often wonder if I’ve already made the same comment about something to my friends. Today I left a comment on a YouTube video, then felt like I’d already made a very similar comment on another video of the same channel. Well, never fear, memory challenged comrades! There’s a way to check out all the comments you’ve made on YouTube videos.

To specifically see comments you have made on YouTube videos, go to this link (you may need to sign into your Google account): Google My Activity Your YouTube Comments

On the main Google My Activity site, you may find your history of website visits, your Google Maps timeline data, and also see comments left on YouTube live chats as well as your likes and dislikes (the thumb up and thumb down buttons on videos that you may have used). This history is available if you haven’t turned off web activity and location history in your Google Account settings.

As for the YouTube comment history, you can get there from within YouTube as well. Let me know if you’d like more info: Contact me.

As for my memory lapses, thankfully I found that I wasn’t making duplicate comments. Not yet, anyway.

IBus showing up on taskbar?

After updating Linux Mint, you may find an unfamiliar icon on the taskbar from something called IBus. Apparently this software may be bundled with a program you already have, like Zoom, that supports Asian languages input. An update may add it to your system if you have a program that has incorporated it, but if you don’t need it, here’s how to get rid of it:

Open a terminal and run:

sudo apt remove ibus

If you just want to remove it from your taskbar (system tray), right-click its icon and go into your preference settings to remove the option to show the icon.
