Adjust Yakuake polling delay

	For reasons unknown, there exists a 'hidden' option in the KDE application Yakuake. If you wish to add more delay to
	the time between when the mouse pointer reaches the screen edge and Yakuake detects the event, make the following change:

	Edit your yakuakerc file [usually in '/home/${USER}/.config/yakuakerc' and add the following:

	[AutoOpen]
	PollInterval=1500

	If the AutoOpen group already exists you only need to append the PollInterval line. Internally, the default value is
	500.

Disable drive compatibility check in Synology DSM 7.02

	Valid as of 1/16/2022

	You will need SSH enabled. After you have logged in, gain root access via sudo. The file you want to edit is
	"/etc.default/synoinfo.conf" and you are looking for a line that reads 'supports_disk_compatibility="yes" ' that needs
	to be changed to 'supports_disk_compatibility="yes"'. Once you haved saved and exited yor editor all that is required
	is a reboot.
