    Windows 11 has hit 1 billion users just a hair faster than Windows 10 did

    I have several PC's and am running Win 10 & 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC on all of them. I also use WUB (Windows Update Blocker) on all of them and only do security updates a month or so after they're released to make sure nothing gets fux0red. I gave up on the consumer versions long ago.

    YouTube bans two popular channels that created fake AI movie trailers

    There are two music channels doing AI fake Howlin'Wolf and Muddy Waters material. I know the family members who control their estates and the legal action against the fakes using their names has already begun. I emailed them the YouTube links and they were horrified at the garbage attached to...

    Conservative attacks on NPR and PBS continue with call to take FCC licenses

    This is the beginning of MAGA's version of the Final Solution but on a much larger scale unless they're stopped now.

    Conservative attacks on NPR and PBS continue with call to take FCC licenses

    When I worked in Public Radio we regularly got death threats from RWNJ's. I used to carry a Mossberg 500 Tactical 12 gauge shotgun in my car trunk and CCW'd a Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum for a reason. I was raised in a military family. Now we're in the phase of moving into a full fascism stage and...

    Buy your RAM (and SSDs) now.

    I have a large stash of high-end DDR4 (some Samsung B die, all G.Skill modules) I'm never going to use. I'm thinking of putting it up on Ebay. I'm glad I bought my two 96GB DDR5 6800 & 7000 kits when I was able to get them for $200 each (they were used review samples sent to a leading tech site...

    Microsoft removes even more Microsoft account workarounds from Windows 11 build

    I'm glad all of my Windows 10 & 11 installs are IoT Enterprise LTSC. No need to bypass anything with my current .iso stash. Microsoft's greed will be their ultimate downfall. The only reason they want your personal info is to sell you trash or sell your info to data brokers. There's no...

    RFK Jr. drags feet on COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, delaying shots for kids

    If the lies on that website were in solid form they could be used as fertilizer.

    Restoring MBR on a corrupted SSD

    If the OS is Win 7, 10 or 11 I'd do a RMA on the SSD then reinstall from the image file on the new warranty SSD then do a "dirty repair install" by unzipping the original install .iso and running the .exe file in the unzipped OS folder (I do them on the desktop) while booted into Windows. This...

    The Perpetual Guitar Thread

    Another Gibson ES-355 Stereo with Varitone to replace the one stolen from me 19 years ago. My insurance company couldn't find a replacement at the time. I do have a few guitars worth well over $5000 in my small collection. 1956 Telecaster I got for free in 1989, 1957 Strat I paid $250 for in...

    Who can get a COVID vaccine—and how? It’s complicated.

    I got mine at the local Walgreen's today after picking up some other prescriptions. I'm in my 70's and have stage IV cancer and kidney disease. While paying for my prescriptions I asked if they had the new COVID vaccine. I was told yes, they checked my age and it took about 5 minutes of waiting...

    40" to 50" Modern TV That You Can Turn Off the Smart Functions?

    I have a few 43" & 50" 4K Vizio TV's. I use them as computer monitors (am on a 50" M-series Vizio at the moment). There's an input setting to automatically connect to the last used input. On the remote go to Menu>All Settings>System>Input at Power on and select Last Used TV Input.

    Boar’s Head to reopen plant as mold and funky meat problems pop up elsewhere

    Several years ago I worked for a company that maintained the equipment in meat processing plants and large grocery stores. I was on the road doing service work for them. Out of hundreds only two stood out as being excellent, the rest ranged from average to downright horrid. This was in a large...

    Thoughts on Hisense TVs?

    I went through 5 of the first 50" models they introduced to the US market. The second one actually set itself on fire. After several returns (that 4 year warranty was needed) and finally a trip to my house by their techs they totally regutted the TV and it worked fine until I sold it last year...

    Revamped Task Manager, second-monitor notifications coming soon to Windows 11

    I'm in my mid-70's and retired from a long career in IT in late 2015. Our computers are very personal things to us (everybody had a massive tantrum at work when we went to AD and Windows 10 shortly before my retirement. AD made my job a lot easier) and we want to be able to tailor them to our...

    Inventor claims bleach injections will destroy cancer tumors

    I've been battling stage IV prostate cancer for nearly 8 years and my spouse was diagnosed with ovarian cancer two weeks ago. No way will we ever even consider getting bleach injections.

    Liam Neeson is justice’s “new daddy” in Naked Gun trailer

    Don't forget the origin of Police Squad & Naked Gun was M-Squad with Lee Marvin. Some of the plots are lifted directly from M-Squad episodes. Personally I consider M-Squad the best police show ever done and have every episode on digital files. The DVD's are well worth searching out...

    Anti-vaccine quack hired by RFK Jr. has started work at the health department

    As a terminal prostate cancer patient that was given Lupron in the beginning of my treatment I can't fathom giving it to anybody, especially children, because of the extreme side effects unless medically justified. I was given shots every 90 days for three years in the beginning along with...
