My computer is up after breakfast in the morning until I go to bed at night, when I prefer to turn it off.  A computer is no good when you are sleeping.  Windows 10 now takes nearly half an hour to be ready for action after all those updates to it.  I cannot switch to Windows 11 with my current setup, that is what my notebook tells me.  I will wait and see what Microsoft comes up with after Windows 11.  It is worth congratulating that operating system developers and PC manufacturers support each other nicely (!).&lt;br /&gt;</description>

As for the Quick Polls, I wonder whether the current frequency is intended to make up for what happened a while back, when the Quick Poll remained the same for months on end. Or is the idea to do away with it altogether by showing that very few people are responding?</description>

I&#039;m hoping that someone in the translation community may have an old laptop sitting unused with its original Trados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would be happy to buy it for a reasonable price to help my friend to continue working on his projects.

However, some companies use that kind of general names and websites to sit on top of the search results.&lt;br /&gt;More research is needed.</description>

Dabei handelt es sich insbesondere um 2 Kollegen der Sprachrichtungen DE&gt;PT&gt;DE (darf ich die Namen nennen?), die mir bei der üblichen Beantwortung in den letzten 15 Jahren noch nie begegnet sind, aber scheinbar nach dem Schließen der Fragen Punkte sammeln, die von niemanden eingesehen werden können.&lt;br /&gt;Mir geht es dabei nicht um die Punkte, aber sehr wohl um die unterschiedliche Behandlung der Kudoz-Teilnehmer und das mögliche Erlernen passenderer Begriffe in diesen Sprachpaaren.</description>

Instead, it instructs recipients to contact a “Project Director” via Microsoft Teams using this link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; [url removed] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe this may be an impersonation/scam, particularly because the sender uses @usa.com rather than an official ProZ.com email address, and the sender name is “Prozz.com” / “Proz Project Recruitment Team.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not reply to the sender, contact the person via Teams, provide any personal information, or accept the project. I only accidentally clicked “Reply” and immediately deleted the unsent draft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would appreciate it if you could investigate whether this email is fraudulent and, if appropriate, add the sender/address to your scam alerts or take any necessary action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can provide the original email or screenshots if required.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.</description>

The last three quick polls had all closed before I even saw them. The last two had totals of 13 and 14 votes, probably because they were up for such a short time. What is the point of a poll that only collects a dozen votes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. It&#039;s still not possible to participate in an existing discussion, either by adding a new post directly or by quoting somebody else&#039;s post. This has been going on for more than a week now. All you get is a blank page with the ProZ menus at the top.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to start a new topic in order to present these data points.</description>
