    The death of the Windows OS

    I sure see a lot of bad things about Windows anymore. Yes it’s true that I personally don’t use it anymore at home, reading everything online lately about their buggy patches bricking pcs, to all their Ai mess being incorporated into their OS. It seems like they have forgotten what an operating...

    Windows (11) updates very cumbersome.

    Why are Windows updates so slow to download and install, almost intrusive? I would say especially since Windows 10 and more so 11 (Cumulative updates especially). At work, we all have new computers with good specs and gigabit ethernet, but each and every one of them I almost have to painfully...

    Windows Recall - Big Brother is always watching

    So I don't know how many of you have heard about this invasion of privacy, under the disguise of a 'feature'. Another reason to ditch Windows. https://adguard.com/en/blog/microsoft-recall-privacy-threat-adguard.html...

    Project: Closing the Windows

    Well I have been eyeballing the new Mac mini M4 for some time now. I should have hopped on the game a little earlier. I would have gotten more for my Mac M1 mini trade. (I am still trying to decide if I should trade it in or keep it and use it for some sort of project). But in the meantime, it's...

    Windows remote software, without installing anything

    My mom messaged me this morning about a problem she was having with her computer. Now I have been out of the loop for a while and used to use old programs like LogMeIn, TeamViewer from back in the day etc. I wanted something that wouldn't get installed on her machine or my work computer. Low and...

    Tesla OS

    So since I have been browsing around at Apple products lately and reading about their silicon chips, a thought occurred to me in why Tesla doesn’t release a similar product or at least an OS. They have the funds for it and the development. Plus with Windows showing it’s age, I think they could...

    Windows Ai

    So, what are your thoughts on the next version of Windows coming out that will be all hard coded with Ai? There will no longer be any privacy left (even worse than the previous versions of Windows)...

    Since Windows 8, shut down and start up doesn't refresh resources like a restart

    I'm sure some know this here, but this "tip" recently came across at work even new to the seasoned IT coworkers company wide. Since Windows 8, apparently a shut down and startup will not refresh resources to the same affect a restart does. How many times have you tried to troubleshoot...

    Vehicle window care

    What does everyone use for their vehicle windows? I have found Spray Away works the best and really gets the hard-to-get bugs off. I have also used Rain X as a follow-up that helps with water, but does eventually fade. I just ordered a 12 pack of Spray Away to stock in my garage.  Sprayway...

    Windows Hello

    Does anyone use Windows Hello, either the facial recognition or the fingerprint reader? I think it would a much simpler way to unlock a computer or my passwords. https://www.howtogeek.com/708986/what-is-windows-hello-sign-in-on-windows-10/

    Updated Windows File Explorer design

    Microsoft’s Windows File Explorer has existed in the operating system since Windows 95, and it has served as a focal point for design concepts ever since. I’ve seen a variety of mockups over the years that try to redesign the File Explorer and modernize it, but Reddit user Alur2020 has really...

    Microsoft May update not downloading

    Anyone else not get this update? Seems like my home machines were stuck on the older versions, but my work machine had been on it for awhile now. Anyone else run into this? I had to manually run: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10

    Microsoft's Edge browser

    Bye Bye IE, it has never been fun. (Netscape Navigator for life!). But it looks like they are going with a Chrome based version. Source

    Windows Defender Actions Recommended

    I ran into this after the last build and finally figured it out. If you have a yellow exclamation in the right hand corner and it says 'Windows Defender Actions Recommended' then in windows defender security center, go to 'Virus and threat protection' tab. Click on Windows Defender Antivirus...

    Windows 10 native email client

    So I haven't really had to play with Windows 10's built in email client until I was helping this old man. What a piece of shit it is. So modern that you can't even find your way around. Very, very limited on the options as well. Basically just an IMAP client to sync. As long as your using one of...
