Thursday January 10 (aka Fucking Windows!)
 

Morning! |waves|

At 5:15 PM Windows needed to update, so I restarted it & went to eat. At 6:15 PM I came back & it was at 19% |facepalm| So I get on this morning & there's a notification from 9:51 PM that Windows needs to restart & will do so automatically outside of my Active Hours. I look at my Active Hours to see they are (mysteriously) set for 8 AM to 5 PM |facepalm| So I'm not restarting this POS until...

Have to go to my stepdaughters for her dialysis delivery between 9:30 & 12:30, so getting my mom up & moving at 8:30, which is when I'll restart this |pcsucks|

Good morning everyone |coffee

Work all day today for me, Ended up going to dinner last night with friends who's wife's birthday it was so I fucked off at 5pm. I see my Ottawa Senators |hockey| won in OT last night in Anaheim to snap their losing streak |thumb

I love windows, only because Macs are too fucking expensive, but their constant restarting is a pain in the ass |angry|

Afternoon |waves|

Amazing weather today. My plan was to hit the pool for some swimming, but instead my |dog and I walked for two hours in beautiful sunlight.

Overslept today, but consider how yesterday turned out, I probably needed it. I've been able to do what I planned to do, but nothing more than that. I just downloaded Fahrenheit, to see Moore's take on tRUMP.

Relax for the remainer of the day

Enjoy your Thursday

I use Windows 7. Yesterday's update took 3 minutes. |waves|

HEY!!! I resemble that remark. |lol|

But.... right after I did the reboot my anti-virus software did an update which req'd another reboot. |banghead|

Good Morning :)

Just doing work on biz stuff as the major to do list of piddly stuff continues. Overcast outside has me doubting I will go out there for any amount of time.

That's all I got so Enjoy your Thursday!

My desktop PC, which is still on the camper in storage in Barstow, uses Windows 10. (Assuming it hasn't been stolen.) If I am ever able to get back to my camper, I'm sure it will require days of updates. I bought this big, used 17" Dell laptop on eBay for cheap. It was advertised as having no OS, so I planned to install Lubuntu on it. When it arrived, it had a fresh install of Windows 7 and it has been the best little computer I have ever had in a long time. |loony|

Do they still update 7? I thought they've stopped that. :)


Btw, here's a short video of Pagan's side job as Finnish Baywatch

They do! They are all tiny updates, obviously. Not the big ones that Greenie manages to fuck up. :D

Afternoon. |coffee

I dual boot Ubuntu Linux and Windows 10. I almost never go into Windows 10 but had to today. Funny, when I went to exit it just continually said "Restarting". I just forced a shutdown.

Linux, updates take a couple of minutes and I don't even have a virus checker on the system.

By the way, January 14, 2020 is the end of life for Windows 7.

Just have to tell;

My latest girlfriend arrived today.
It's probably way to obvious, but I'll name her Pauline. Seriously, her name can't be anything else?

I just had to take a testrun and I ended up playing for an hour.
(Which means I can't play for a few days ... |lol||lol|)

My Windows 10 was fine this morning before we left way before sunrise for Helsinki. I did shut it down, thankfully, as we came home to erratic power. It has flipped on and off a couple of times now. I am going to try to get something accomplished today - if the power will stay on!

I could be dead by that time.

I have one old Win7 laptop connected to the TV for some streaming. Still works fine!

After the mega-update, Skype moved from my Taskbar to the System Tray & was hidden. I opened it & was logged in. I went to the Start Menu & pinned it to my Taskbar LIKE I FUCKING HAD IT. This was early Thursday.

I just went to send Ramster a message, so I click on the icon on my Taskbar...it's the old version of Skype that MS decided worked too well for us to use |facepalm| So I go to the System Tray & click the icon...Ramster sent me a message yesterday afternoon. No notification. No little 1 in a circle to let me know there's a message in there. I HATE FUCKING WINDOWS!!! |angry|

Version 1809 = Stable |thumb

Crap, I have a brand new Win7 Dell Laptop still in a box I've never opened.

I just opened the calculator for the 1st time since the update. It's default size is now 1202x934 |violin|

It's also asking "How would you like to open this file?" for everything that isn't defaulting to a Windows program |banghead|

I've read online there are still a couple of oddball ways to upgrade to Win 10.

What version of 10 are we talking about?

I have 10Pro and the update yesterday went pretty fast.
