This already is a no-guessing version of minesweeper 😉

@Catawu

You want to avoid them and uncover all squares without mines. Each square tells you how many mines it is being surrounded by, so you can deduce it.

@sean

Not that I disagree, but that makes it sound like there wasn't a non-proprietary browser before Firefox 1.0, which definitely wasn't the case.

See thread, we managed to solve it and it wasn't that hard after all 🙂

@ejk

Brilliant, thank you! Not that tough after all, now I don't know how I missed that 😆

@eric

NO-guessing-mode. It's a minesweeper puzzle that's guaranteed to be solvable without guessing.

@thomask

I think you're missing an option, it could also look like this:

@eric

This is no-guessing-mode though, it's guaranteed to be deducible.

I'm either blind or this is a really tough one.

That's just electric-powered witchcraft.

Magnets are witchcraft and I won't accept another explanation.

Rule #13 of 3D Printing: friends don't let friends buy Creality. I'd currently look at Sovol and Bambu machines in that price range.You'll get a lot more value for your money.

"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.

Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.

Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance."

Inspired by the replies to one of my recent posts, I decided to hack together a little tool that parses my YouTube watch history.

Shockingly insightful statistics:

Watched a total of 71767 videos on 13082 channels, at a current rate of 35 videos per day.

More than 5% of my watched videos have since disappeared from YouTube!

Here's just a little teaser 🙈

White ASCII on transparent canvas.

Considering that YouTube has roughly 18 years of watch history recorded on my account, its recommendations are... shockingly bland and generic. Imagine what you could do with all this data and a bit of clever collaborative filtering 🤔

Nice, only took two hours to get merged, so this will be an option starting with Plasma 6.2!

I didn't like the window outlines in Plasma's desktop pager, so here's a proposal to make them optional:
