Not used windows shutdown since XP

use shutdown in a command line as I can always find that.

Re: Proof this was long planned

To take heat off the trump-epstein files.

A 965, nice

Re: Not a Trump thing.

I now have long covid as I caught it after a return to office. From people who went out and about without a care, and themsleves came into the office ill.

Yes been vaccinated so did not get too ill at the time, but it is over 3 years now, and only just starting to recover.

I nearly medically retired, luckily WFH is OK.

PEM is no laughing matter.

Re: I thought they were part of Stellantis

So they are then, over here, and in Australia we have no time for them, abandoning whole markets.

I reckon Blade Runner 2049 in correct, every car will be a Peugeot. 3/4s of my previous cars have been subsumed by them.

Re: Damn.

I am running 128GB of Corsair RGB RAM for 18 months and it seems fine.

I am in my 60s, but flashy lights were not much more. And lights up under the computer desk nicely.

Re: Took some reading to understand

Yes, but read that once sentence, it could have done with some more punctuation.

Re: Hookers

Like many people my first thought was Rugby. I know of the other usage, but coming from a city with a top flight team, it is pervasive.

Balls at primary school were ran with, not kicked.

Re: This is a cross party issue

It would have saved the career for the bloke researching KLAAS Dominator Combines.

I wonder if it got spell checked?

Major was OK I thought, Blair untrustable - did not like at all, Brown not really PM material - but a human.

Cameron a fool with referendums, May, could not read, Johnson an idiot and borderline criminal, Truss a lunatic.

So Sunak was not too bad compared to the previous bunch, and was definitely the best post Cameron.

Re: There may be trouble ahead....

I thought all the content was on TPB.

Bitter

Some people are very intolerant of certain bitter chemicals, tonic water for an example is disgusting. Yet sprouts fine.

Re: Hows that!

a link normally takes a few seconds,

First link of the week takes about 5 to 10 minutes since my work PC got replaced with 10 now 11 jobbie.

Also was quick many years ago with a real server not a cruddy Windows box with slow drives.

Well Tesco deliver.

Asda owned by a right pair of chanchers.

Morrisons - where are they?

Sainsbury - a dump.

Also sometimes use Iceland delivery due to town centre shop, not easily accessable.

"Of course the right-leaning centrists are now voting Labour or Lib Dem because the Overton Window has moved wholesale to the right, and anyone who actually leans left is looking at the Greens (who, amazingly, had the most competent manifesto at the last GE - proposed to engage in infrastructure renewal and investment, whilst working to insulate the UK from global energy/gas price fluctuations!)."

I find it is more likely to be Lib Dem as Labour are too authortarian. Actually locally, a lot have gone Green.

Ex Conservative Centrists are also more likely to be pro EU, as I said what is the difference between Sunak and Starmer, both are similar placed about EU. Well it wound up a Labour supporter!

Real/32

I used to use it, pretty good OS,but was a dead end the way the market went.

To be honest, I would say, start with Mint Cinnamon

As this is one of the more well know ones, as good as any to start with, then if not happy, distro hop.

Re: Training

Everytime I use some MS tools they have changed, the whole UI changed recently. that was not easy. Various tools got removed, file associations removed, menu options added and removed.

Sometimes it feels like a whole new seup each month.

My home PC just sits there being the same since built.

And used it with no training.

Wife llikes it.

Home is Mint

Re: a slightly less sh1te settings page...

MS Mouse

I have one on my Mint box

Re: Sad times

Game employees.

Forced to sell sports tat as they are pushed over to that rather than games.

Got launch day PS4 from them.

PS2, PS3.
