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]

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]

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]

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]

Sunday School 10 months, 4 weeks agoThanks, I appreciate those examples of radio history. Even that recently, I was in a stage of ignoring most radio shows. Even as an atheist back then, I didn’t like Dawkins or Hitchens because I thought they were too strident or disrespectful. It took a while for me to mature enough to appreciate them. I was more in awe of Dennett at the time.
