I never said it wasn't horrible (or malware) When a computer does something against the owners wishes as a "feature" that alone is enough to give a thought as to if this is what you want to deal with. When they have basic settings that benefit them (like all the spy ware that is on the computer that you have to go though and turn off .. also whatever they don't tell you) It is time to go elsewhere. The problem is currently is if you want to play any serious type of game, Windows is the easiest to use to do this. Also it is difficult or you are at a disadvantage if you try to use Linux in a Business environment. You can't even use Mac easily either. Now even more. Previously you could at least run a Duel boot easy enough... but with their new hardware ... that won't be happening soon. I have used Linux quite a bit the past year and a half and it isn't quite there for my day to day but pretty close. My machine I am running it on isn't capble of having a VM installed (with or without gpu pass through) so I can't move over as much as i want to Linux or another os. HOwever, I can tell you the time, even though I was a noob for much of it, using Linux was a breath of fresh air. It didn't reboot your OS in the middle of a fucking project. It notified you of an update and let that be. One line of code and you can update pretty much everything. I got to the point I didn't even really use their installer program just used the code. Talk about installation of programs. For the most part on a used Linux system, it is seconds. On a new system due to it needing dependencies, it might take a few seconds longer but not terrible. It is extremely fast not using their GUI installer as well but the GUI installer isn't half bad. Not as bad as what is provided by Windows. The entire installation of a nicely loaded system of programs is much smaller than Windows as well. There are alternates to programs you use in Windows.. some are better but most are bleg... That and not being able to run some programs (mostly games) is the only draw back and that is getting better every year. I am currenlty migrating my system (main system) to a 2 tb drive. Instead of cloning I am doing fresh. Windows 10 pro. x64. The SSD is much faster than my 6 or so year old SSD it was using for the main OS. time to retire that drive from main work. Now I will be able to have some VMs on that machine. (not pass through though. My hardware is too old on that one to really set it up as I understand but I haven't tried it. Even if I did.. Lilnux would be fine with it but it is only a quad core... Windows is so bloated and demands so much processing power along with ram. Can't split up that system and expect any decent functionality. Might experiment with it though. Maybe it might be enough.

I've created this channel to cover all tech related issues not covered elsewhere, from problems to questions, to complaints. You can discuss your tech related questions here. Feel free to discuss hardware, software and yes.. as below... operating systems. Please lets try to keep all the tech related *** stuff*** located here unless it is more appropriate to have in another channel. The below is moved from "THE CRINGE-WORTHY INTERNET THREAD". -Ritual Clarity It is already obsolete. If I am not mistaken, (update, yes. January 2020) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/windows/end-of-windows-7-support Microsoft has stopped all support for it. Meaning no more security updates. Lord knows MS programs have enough exploits in them already not to have them be fixed However, I understand. I also hope you don't have any critical sensitive info on that computer. Use Linux for the serious stuff and leave the games and other bs to the Windows (operating system of choice) Now with pass through (provided your hardware supports it.. good news more and more hardware is doing this) you can pass though your graphics card(s) to the OS and only have the MS on for the essentials that you can't or don't want to use Linux for. That combined with major inroads to making windows programs run on Linux.... hopefully in the future this won't be an issue. Also, surprise, surprise.. Microsoft lied. maybe they learned that from Bethesda which they recently acquired. Doesn't fair well for future games if MS can outright lie. There is no dam reason to have a "7", "10" or "11" for that matter on the OS. Just a version number / code is all that is needed for anyone that actually gave a shit. Make it easy for total idiots to find.. and be done with it. It is just a fucking marketing ploy. They realized that they had a hard time moving people from 7 (meaning less sales) so they knew that people wouldn't move or get new OS (give them money for a refreshed gui and other bullshit that isn't needed) so they decided to go back on their words is what I suspected.

Wrong Thread.... What's wrong about this thread.

ah i see you are back to work again..

you and me both

I wish they had those advertisements (first part) when I was young and able to join the military! I'd likely would have... lol Very motivational... the second one would push me away in a heartbeat. Sorry, alternate lifestyles have a right to exist but... I don't believe that is the best approach to attract the very best for your military. Military is tough, shitty job with shitty locations (on deployment) don't take my word.. ask ANY ONE THAT HAS BEEN DEPLOYED at how shitty their living conditions were. FROM ANY GENERATION! Seriously, I honestly expect the second group troops having safe words and time outs expectations.

That isn't the worse of it... once their area becomes a pile of steaming shit... they will move someplace nice and then cause it to turn to shit as well. Of course they won't stay there as it is shit. Companies will move out, crime will move in. Police isn't the problem. Sure some are dicks and some are dangerous and will have to be dealt with, but to blame all the force for some pricks is just plain stupid. Sad thing is there will be a money grab (theft) of the funds removed from the Policing and once the area turns to total shit... property values are shit.. those with the money will come in and fix it up for pennies on a dollar.. making even more money. Oh and of course the wealthy don't give a shit about de-policing.. they have a private security force to take care of them.

hEY, he just Ozzy Osborne that bat!

IMO either is fine. The problem is when you become a child predator. His own admissions is he could have easily found out with a simple check, that they were under aged before he engaged in adult conversations with them.

You sure it isn't a skeleton issue? That is the only thing I can think of that would do that. At least as far as I have every known..... Perhaps trade out that skeleton for another compatible one Even the old default one used years ago. Should work still. (Yes, I realize likely you already did that to resolve the skeleton issue but ... still gotta put that out there. lol)

I agree. Nothing has shown me more than Meh... at first it was exciting but it quickly got boring. Also, I am lucky I am not on a metered internet connection as they constantly have updates of 20+ gigs what seems to be daily! I haven't went back to it after the first week or two where I put in 87 + hours. I tried to go back for a complete play through but soon just got distracted with other stuff and never went back.

You gave me a chuckle with "Say one thing wrong and you set their hair on fire" LOL

YES something along those lines was what I was looking for when seeing that previously. The one I seen before was a pig biting a hand and a picture of Miss Piggy being shown... but.. this will do as well.

No real loss there... lol Hey, they locked your actual email forcing you to make adjustments .... Instead of working with you to correct whatever was the matter previously....

Wait until it is in the 5~10 dollar bin... then you can get it and laugh lol That is about all it is worth.

For the modern gamer. ... a way to not to actually play the game.

Evil Spock has arrived for me! Mirror Universe here we come!

I know some police officers and so far the only ones that have an issue with the camera are those that are trying to, or actually do wrong. The thing is if these asshole cops fucking up and doing wrong keep on doing it.. eventually all officers will be required to have their cameras on with sound even when they aren't on a call. While they are in the squad car and likely only be able to turn it off if they were taking a shit.

You only think I lost my contributor title. I still have it.
