Wannabee authoritarians can “take over” institutions by corrupting them first, then claim it’s proof that they need to eliminate or rebuild them. It’s a wrecking ball approach.
E.g. usurping the authority of well trained and dedicated experts in the field of medicine. Obviously there are a lot more examples of this in…[Read more]

I build several Windows laptops and PC’s each month. I use USB boot disks with all the latest updates and software on them and all the bloatware from Windows removed. Average time to get ready for clients is 12 minutes each and I do 5 at a time. So usually takes about 30 minutes to unbox, build and re-box, all 5, ready to use.

@Unseen – You should be able to recover everything from your laptop. DM me the make (HP, Lenovo, Dell) and the s/n. If it has an SSD or an M2, all you need is a cable and a screwdriver…..and you can connect it to the Chromebook. Most of the time the hard disk is fully recoverable. Even if it is dead, I can still recover data from it.

Perhaps not militarily, but in many markets it’s shouldering the tariff-prone United States out of the picture. But sometimes it’s not even tariffs, it’s our products not meeting their standards.

I’m grieving over some of the stuff I no longer have access to because they were on the now-dead PC. I’m fairly sure I can get a technician to go into the machine and retrieve it for me, but that will cost me, obviously. Had it been a Chromebook, as soon as I logged into another Chromebook, it’d be like nothing happened.
I’m having trouble…[Read more]

Interesting story about Red China’s role in all of the Global Intifada protests. Must read later.
Here’s another about how Hamas and Turkey are controlling the image narrative about Gaza:

Chromebooks aren’t for everyone. I recognize that. This video lays out the scenarios in which a Chromebook won’t work for you, though you may still want a Chromebook as a second machine.
On the other hand…

About 7 years ago I replaced a MAC with a Windows pc for a client. The Windows pc died last month. While waiting for the new pc to be setup, I discovered the MAC was still in storage in a back room. I powered it on and it worked first time. Good enough to log into email online and print. I checked the s/n and it is almost 17 years old. The s…[Read more]

My goals would not require on point parallel history. J. Swift comes to mind. Just enough to recognize the parallels and the gross injustice and absurdity of it all.
I was thinking of a few things to address that issue cuz as an author ya need suspension of disbelief. One way would be a Margaret Mead take one for the team right of…[Read more]

Looks like a good choice. I have an old chromebook that’s too slow for big software, but it’s still useful for small stuff. I might get another and run both Chrome OS and Linux (Crostini), so I’d get it with 12gb or 16gb ram.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get a Win 11 pc, but may keep a Win 10 pc or two going, secured behind a good firewall. I got a…[Read more]

So, how would the Lezbrews perpetuate themselves throughout history in your hypothetical novel? In Vitro Fertilization is only a fairly recent procedure and neither Lesbians nor Jews recruit or proselytize. Or are they Eternal Wondering Lezbrews who don’t need to propagate and perpetuate? Sounds like a hole in the plot that needs filling…[Read more]

Yes, I’m leaving Windows which gets more bloated with each passing upgrade and version. And, I’m certainly not moving over to the expensive Apple world, where everything is tightly controlled and planned obsolescence is their business model.
You see, my Windows laptop died a month out of warranty, not that exercising the warranty would have been…[Read more]

When a sweet Lezbrews thanks you for the coffee it is code for something else. She is aware but not woke. You had a meaningful conversation but it feels like you never spoke. Will you be shamed into ghosting her?
Enco that was the sense in which i was racisting you. Did not even know the Scottish guy was history.
And

She was greeted with stark expressions for having violated the sanctity of the proceedings. “How dare you enter the temple when we are deciding whether to go to war!”

You just dumped on Lezbrews. THAT IS RACIST!
I said the novel would be popular! How is that Racist except in the Craig Ferguson/Producer Michael sense?
