I liked the idea, I’ll leave it here…
The Joker’s superpower is his super intelligence, realizing that he lives in a fictional world. He is the only character who looks directly into the camera, as if to say: “I know you’re watching my show!” Total despair and awareness of your own meaninglessness.. How would you behave if you found out or guessed that you live in a virtual world, for example, simulated on a supercomputer? What do you usually do when in a dream you realize that this is not real?

Anendophasia – an absence of an internal monologue
Recent research has revealed that a subset of individuals experience “anendophasia,” a phenomenon characterized by the absence of an internal monologue. This condition has been shown to negatively affect tasks involving verbal memory and the ability to recognize rhymes. Those who do not possess an inner voice were observed to face greater difficulties with these activities compared to their counterparts who do have an inner monologue.
The research sheds light on the distinct cognitive approaches adopted by people with anendophasia. Future studies aim to delve into the implications of anendophasia on various other cognitive functions and potential interventions.
Key Points:
– Anendophasia: A condition characterized by the absence of an inner monologue, influencing verbal memory and the ability to discern rhymes.
– Research Insights: Individuals lacking an inner voice exhibit poorer performance in tasks involving word retention and rhyme identification.
– Cognitive Approaches: Those with anendophasia employ unconventional problem-solving strategies.

Managing ME51n personal preferences
Some companies prefer to make a ME51n preconfiguration for new users. The values are stored in ESDUS table. If you don’t have a custom transaction or maintenance dialog for this table, it might be helpfull to make the change in this table directly. It’s not recommended but it always depends on..
Here are several interesting fields that can be changed:
ReqProposer AFNAM – Requisitioner
ReqProposer BSART – Document Type
ReqProposer DISPO – MRP Controller
ReqProposer WERKS – Plant
ReqProposer LGORT – Location
Ok, let’s do a mass change of the specific value for all users.
SE37 > SE16N_INTERFACE > I_TAB = ESDUS, I_EDIT = X, I_SAPEDIT = X > Execute
Use a filter like “REQ*AFNAM” because the actual field name is “ReqProposer AFNAM”.
Export this filtered table in a spreadsheet, change the necessary values and copy this table to the clipboard. Then select the left upper element of the table in the modifying table and press paste. The source and the target table are the same by fields count, so it will be pasted and changed values will be rewritten with the new. Press save, press green tick.
Unwanted notifications from HANA Cockpit. Things happen.
Before: S/4HANA on-premise systems with HANA Cockpit. Alert notifications were configured to send each alert to the corporate service desk system.
After: S/4HANA was migrated into the SAP Cloud. No access to the OS, HANA databases, or HANA Cockpit. Alert notifications continue to be received every day, but it’s not needed anymore. The SAP Cloud team is responsible for these databases now.
Reflection: I know that even if the HANA Cockpit is turned off, configured database backups continue to work. It happens because the HANA Cockpit is only the configuration point. However, the scheduled job is stored directly in the HANA database. Maybe alert notifications are arranged in a similar way?
All that I have is access to the application server. Lets check it in DB02:
SELECT * FROM "_SYS_STATISTICS"."STATISTICS_EMAILRECIPIENTS"And voila:
By the way, SAPHANADB user have read/write access to _SYS_STATISTICS scheme, if you know what I mean. But I didn’t say that =)
SAP Logon for Windows. Configuration via regedit

If you want to use your own logo for all SAP LOGONs.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\General\Appearance]
“UseBrandingImage”=dword:00000001
“BrandingImage”=”\domain.local\LogonScript\SAP\SAP_LOGO.png”

Can’t sign into hulu with Disney bundle
What a disgrace for such a big company. Previously I had a HULU account and a Disney separately. After buying the “Disney bundle” I wasn’t able to login into HULU with Disteny’s account because I already had the account with the same email. Recovering an account didn’t do anything, no email was received. After 30 minutes at HULU’s tech support, I’ve decided to make a trick. I just changed my email at Disney’s account and tried to activate HULU’s account. I relogined to Disney with the new credentials just in case. And it helped! After that I changed my email back and all became good.
