Thursday January 10 (aka Fucking Windows!)
Morning!
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% 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 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 |

Good morning everyone
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 won in OT last night in Anaheim to snap their losing streak I love windows, only because Macs are too fucking expensive, but their constant restarting is a pain in the ass Last edited by Ramster; 2019-01-10 at 10:18 AM.. |

Afternoon
Amazing weather today. My plan was to hit the pool for some swimming, but instead my 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 Jlly |

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.

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 https://www.facebook.com/WorldstarSw...9211766776266/ Jolly Last edited by jollyhumper; 2019-01-10 at 12:47 PM.. |

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

Afternoon.
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. |

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!

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