For people who use windows. And who are thinking of making the jump to Linux. How the hell. Are we supposed to work out which one of the myriad of Distros, that are released every month to select. They all have different names. And varieties. And uses. And people say its hard choosing from half a dozen versions of windows. How many different versions of Linux are there to choose from?
I have machines from win 95 to win 11 But for some reason my FX and Phenoms have a live affair with Win 7 let onto the net once to update all drivers. then network sockets disabled in Bios I have a usb thumb drive internet connection that works on win7 without hunting for drivers and All these are now free to sit on my game network (seperate no internet) and No virus scanners. etc they run fine (better without all the network stuff calling home all the time. and we can still play network games and play all those games gotten in my naughty days 20 years ago.
Im running the windows 11 in the beta insider channel One of the forst things i dod was to completely stip Edge and by rite fkn BING and that goddam AI what they call copilot popping up everytime you hover over its icon in edge. Personally i wouldn't trust AI and in particular M$ and the alphabet AI to run a dig pound feeding program. So it looks like my next upgrade will be to Win10 and Linux in a dual boot config on my 5600x system Win 11 is more and more changing to some AI run monster. give it Time its already proven to be untrustworthy and even psychopathic at times yes great lets install it on everything fkn Morons.
Yes same here
Anyway with people being forced to stay home and work if possible it would almost be price gouging by Mi$$yshaft It's not like its our idea to stay home and work. Now the schools are closed so now thats going to make more people expected to work from home Mi$$yshaft are just going to have to wear it.
This isn't the first time they have screwed with the /docs etc etc . A couple of updates ago I had a spate of calls from people who had lost their whole home directories and I lost mine too. It was easily found microosoft had just decided to rename all the bloody computers to \desktop\abcd1213 but it was the time taken to fix microsofts screwups. That they don't pay you for. And this time they the Docs/pictures are gone for good. Not good for some of my elderly customers who lost some pictures and Docs that are irreplaceable. And when you say Backup they think you mean reverse the bloody Car. Microsoft have got to watch what they are doing. Because a simple date error causes so much pain and distress.
Having tried this crap win 8, 32 and 64 bit versions, the 32 bit blue screened instantly, and the 64 bit ver hangs whilst it does something or other but cpu usage peaks at 99% on both cores and temps are close to burning hot. This on a machine that happily runs win 7 both 64 and 32 bit. So yep it's time for a dogs vomit and Ballmer and co obliged.
That sets us 'oldies' apart from the disposal generation All my 10 year old tv's have a computer (P4) hooked up to them all networked with terabyte drives all over works great. And I cant afford to buy new stuff. But i did put it out that I was interested in any broken Laptops from friends and out of all I have collected, I now have 3 working ones. so there are ways around getting newer tech. and if you need to find out how to take it to bits and you are fine with handling fragile and breakable equiptment then it's fun, and you also learn something.
Well I had an old Dell 3 gig Hyper threading cpu (socket 478) with a gig of ddr 400 ram and a ATI 9800 AIW pro 128 meg video card give me a windows 7 rating of 3.2, and ran smoother than XP which just seemed to hesitate and it's I now have a dual core cpu Laptop running 7 and it's way smoother than XP The best thing they built into Win 7 was the ability to handle multi core chips. ANd I to have a shed full of 'old' computers mainly P4's and Athalon 's and X2's so may have to buy a coupla dozen beers, and have a sort out and see what sort of a frankenstien I can build.
Maybe it's all for the better. Because what will happen if we find an intelligent life filled planet?? Those same thugs who spend $600mil-60 billion, will then want to find a way to get to where they are,under the flag of Humanising them. See then there will be even more $$$$ for Bombs and new technology like lasers and stuff.
Being highly suspicious of anything that wants to install automatically turn it off, and look what I found waiting to be installed

It's a pre requisite to installing the service pack So what does it do anyone got any idea's, the website don't really help.
There you go the US we'll get him sooner or later
Federal Criminal Lawyer, Douglas C. McNabb, points out that a U.S. extradition law between Sweden and the U.S., pursuant to the article 6 of the supplement to the extradition treaty between the U.S. and Sweden, can assure Assange's extradition to the U.S.
Sweden can transfer Assange to the U.S. to stand trail for any U.S. federal criminal charges before he faces charges for sexual offences in Sweden. If convicted, Assange could also serve his full sentence in the US, before ever facing the alleged charges in Sweden. This law does not exist in the UK.

Which basically means if the swedes get him to Sweden then he will be handed over to the Yanks even before they interrogate him on these 'charges'

either way safe is NOT a word I would use in conjunction with anything made in china.
Look at their toys Still have lead paint, thousands of times above the legal limit and little bits that fall off and choke the children. watch the car one and tell me you would even want to get into one.
So when they stop for no reason, or just catch fire ooppss you forgot to plug your car in to the net for the usual round of updates. Or maybe they will use the same kind of Windows 7 battery controller that has been killing laptop batteries all over the place.
Ahhhhh a beer to drink while you watch the car burn
Then WHO cares what the vendors/ripoff artists charge I have a flash 3g phone but i only use it for Calls and texts Much to the disgust of my carrier who tried to get me to use mobile data yada yada yada And like I told him the day the cell phone gives me my morning coffee/ blowjob then i'll ise but until then l I'll just stick to the use it was designed for, tell them that and they will soon pull thier heads in.. But you in England well your screwed everytime you do anything. CCtv Politicians that look like they just crawled out of kindy and policies to match . And telco's who rip you off every day
And i lived in England for 15years Iam so glad I got out.
Did Not the Sweses say that they would defer their case to the Americans. Therefore If I was him I would also fight any attempt to get him to a country that has said it will give him up to the Yanks. Won't do much for the Swede's name but they would finally have this thorn in their side gone without an embarrasing trial.
Why oh Why do MShaft have to keep supporting that turkey IE6 when even the Crap OS that premiered it has long since gone to the big black hole in cyberspace.. Oh thats right Mshaft Could Not write anything that was not crap for years and I hate to say after even using IE9 things havn't changed all they have done now is make a Blue skinned Opera/Chrome anything with the Tabs in the wrong place!
And you wonder why it freezes.... try running a decent computer then you can moan about freezes but with the POS you are running it's a wonder win98 don't make it freeze
Bloody moaner uses crap and blames the software writers for his problems
and if you do not know how to back up your e-mail in Mozilla then maybe you should follow these few simple instructions
1 shut down your computer
2 unplug all the wires
3 throw the whole lot in the garbage.
then maybe we will not have to listen to your moaning when you cant see a web page or get your e-mail
"Justice Department officials have declined to comment on their plans, but Attorney General Eric Holder said earlier this week that his agency is doing everything it can to take Assange down."
Hmm so I take it that when the prosecution fails the assassins will be out in force....
Cant the Yanks just accept that they have been Caught out here and ...
The horse has bolted
But it is amusing to listen to all the old wrinkly american politicians getting all het up over this.. It must be the one thing thats finally woken some of the up from the stupor they are in
