Time for a small journey away from this disturbed planet :O) Aurora Borealis - Atlas

No problem at all 😮 Demon King - And He Shut His Eyes In Anguish, Drum Playthrough

Neil Young - Cortez the Killer

A screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot etc etc :O)

Tested pixel 8 pro zoom. The full zoom does not survive any scrutiny on pixel level, but quite impressive that such results are even possible ! link to reddit post showing 1x & 30x quick shots from within car.

w10 ltsc, 01\2025 update done. As always, all well.

3 months with Pixel 8 Pro, still works ! :O) Behaved much better than anticipated. Very+ satisfied with camera results \ editing \ options (both before and after taking pics), Display, battery, network etc all fine (for my use). Of course, vs Samsung, am missing many of oneui's nice and very useful options and tweaks, but knew in advance it was a move to the "Desert Island OS", the Pixel was acquired for it's photo cabilities, in which dept. it does deliver. One major irritation was that (ugly and unused) Google search bar, no removal possibility, so started looking for an alternative laucher. ftm using 'Discreet Launcher', open source from f-droid. Sooooo happy+ to get rid of that google search monstrosity, also freed up the locked (for widget \ date use) home screen top area. Light launcher with no over-the-top possibilities, liking it's philosophy of going after a basic, clean interface. Still quite some settings to play with, am enjoying the current setup. Pic 1: home. Pic 2: home apps (swipe up on screen, alt. always on). Pic 3: app drawer (swipe down on screen, alt. folders).

11 still struggling. Win10 = Die Hard 3 (1: xp, 2: w7) Statcounter Edit: posting this from the old dell 7440 running it's original 8.1 from 02\2015. Assuming Statcounter is vaguely correct and 3 billions (?) total win installs, 0,29 % = 8.700.000 8.1's out there, so still got lots of company :O) ...and 72.000.000 win7's still alive !

Happy new year to all :O) Earl Scruggs - Ground Speed Stringbean - 20 cent cotton 90 cent meat

Just wondering, been living with 10 ltsc 1809, soon 4 years without a hitch, on several machines, very satisfied++, it just works, all personal programs in use are fine, security to 2029, etc. But, asking those with experience on many versions, are there any (important) gains in thinking about 10 ltsc 2021, or 11 ltsc, missing out on anything (really) useful staying with 1809? Thanks

Probably what we could call "semi-legit", have got some stuff from them, no problems. https://fr.godeal24.com/cyber-monday.html?g24

Omnium Gatherum - Beyond As before, sorry for the vocals, rest is great :O) love the drums & guitars, the sound & arrangements.

And while at it, look for any heat build-up? Check with f.ex. cpuid.

Worth the few 100 $ in parts, a few afternoons and some dirty fingers! The old girl passed it's "Hauptuntersuchung TÜV \ MOT \ Controle Technique CT \ Roadworthiness Test" (pick your country) with 0 faults in every dept. I pick only meticulous garage\people for the control, wanting them to find faults, like dangerous rust etc > security above all. btw, it's a "Renault\Nissan\Vauxhall\Opel" :O) van. But old cars, it never ends. Now that it's deemed solid & safe (=worth keeping), it's over to non-lethal stuff ...like that roller bearing noise that lately appeared in some gears. Before going for a profesionally renovated gearbox ($$$$), was recommended a special ($$) gearoil that is supposed to help. Snakeoil, or maybe not :O) Worth a try, looking for wonders after that green blood transfusion lol

ltsc 10 update done, all well as always.
