Notebook battery would not charge

Windows 10 just told me that my notebook battery cannot be charged.

Here is a solution which worked out fine for me:

1. Shut down your notebook.
2. Unplug the power supply.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Press the notebook’s ON/OFF button for 10 to 20 seconds.
5. Insert the battery and the power supply again.
6. Turn on your notebook.
7. Done – the battery should be charged again.

Java: More on Lists – double brace initialisation

Normal initialisation

List<String> myList = new ArrayList<String>();
myList.add("ItemOne");
myList.add("ItemTwo);

Using Arrays.asList(…)

List<String> myList = Arrays.asList("ItemOne", "ItemTwo");

Double brace initialisation

List<String> myList = new ArrayList<String>() {
{ add("ItemOne"); add("ItemTwo"); }
};

I just came along a problem while logging into my Google Talk account via Trillian.

You are asked if it was you who tried to access your account. If so, you need to log in w/ this very application within the next 10 minutes. Then you are all set.
