Voyager 1 starts making sense again after months of babble

That is good, that spacecraft is way out there and still talking to the folks on Earth, one has to find that amazing. The question is, when will the USA send another one of these up in another direction? Hell, if it were me making the decision, one would go up every year, and in every direction, that way you have more ways of contacting other life out there. And no question of is their life out there, if you say there cannot be, you are wrong

Microsoft issues deadline for end of Windows 10 support – it's pay to play for security

Re: Any "wsl inversion" tools?

I have 6 hard drives on my computer. Windows 10 runs on an M2 drive, and I have Linux Mint installed on an SSD, along with Manjaro. My daily Operating system is Linux Mint, which has been since Windows ended support for Windows 7

So when support for Windows 10 ends, no problem, I will just erase the Hard drive where it sits and be done with Windows operating systems forever. I went to Linux Mint when the support for Windows 7 ended, losing Windows 10 will not bother me at all. My computer is capable of using Windows 11, but I refuse to do what the Operating System demands because all that stops you from installing and using other Operating systems, so goodbye Windows.

Mozilla's midlife crisis has taken it from web pioneer to Google's weird neighbor

Firefox is the only web browser I use, and have used for many years. I will not use chrome, as it is a Google item, and Google, first and foremost is an Advertising Company, and users of their browser, it tracks all your keystrokes

Mint 21.2 is desktop Linux without the faff

I have been a user, through all the versions of Linux Mint, since the end of Windows 7 support so many years ago now. All I can say to someone coming over to the Linux world, from the god-awful Windows Operating system, Linux Mint is the one OS you should install. I was a Windows 7 user and Linux Mint gave me everything I needed, either it came with the installation or I got it from the Software Manager I shot and edited a fair amount of videos, did some word Processing, and played a few simple games. Linux Mint does everything I need it to do

Microsoft to kill off third-party printer drivers in Windows

Microsoft begs you not to ditch Edge on Google's own Chrome download page

'Millions' of Dell PCs will grant malware, rogue users admin-level access if asked nicely

That is why I got my new computer, Not a Dell, but before I even started it I inserted a USB Thumb Drive in a USB port and started the computer to boot from the USB Thumb drive. On that USB Thumb Drive was the ISO image for Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyess Cinnamon. Linux minx booted up and during the install stage where it said Install beside Windows, I set it to erase the Hard Drive and Install Linux Mint, and since then there has never been a version of Windows on this Computer. I have installed several other Operating Systems, all Linux Based, they are Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS and Storm, that last one is off shoot of Arch. I do not miss Windows in any way, it was too clunky, slow and cost to much. I can achieve everything I need on Linux Mint

Huge if true: If you show people articles saying that Firefox is faster than Chrome, they'll believe it

I have used Firefox for years and I do not need Google, Which is an Advertising Company, seeing everything I type.
