Ain't it funny when companies providing security \ privacy services etc gets hacked. "We recently detected unusual activity within a third-party cloud storage service -\- We have determined that an unauthorized party, using information obtained in the August 2022 incident, was able to gain access to certain elements of our customers' information." Seen from their customer's side, must be the LastStraw. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/lastpass-says-hackers-accessed-customer-data-in-new-breach/

& yes, real freedom of expression !! Jack the Ripper & Charles Manson to be reinstated.

Musk buys nuclear plant: - Lock out (then get rid of) all these troublesome experts and employees. They have no idea how to run the place (...to be replaced by my aunt and nephew, loyal to me). - Shut off that reactor cooling system (no need for such expensive and complicated things).

Kicked out employees ...then had a go at users lol (from nov 14) "if you have SMS 2FA turned on and log out of your Twitter account, you will not be able to log back in. Technically, two-factor authentication isn’t broken, but you’ll never get the text message with your one-time code. The service that sends the message is off so it just doesn’t send." https://www.androidauthority.com/twitter-sms-2fa-3234698/

Larska - Can't Steal It

lol. Exactly.

Trees of Eternity Full album

Omnium Gatherum - White Palace (Album: Beyond) Please excuse the vocals, but worth tolerating > all the good parts, dynamics and arrangements (try from 6:00, that guitar part !)

Was donated an older i5 HP desktop. Was to be scrapped. Failed HD replaced with a cheap ssd, and all well. The whole machine fast as hell actually. Now, after the usual late night experiments, wanted to go back to yesterday's Reflect image, in goes my faithful USB Reflect boot stick (which always worked perfect on every thinkable pc\laptop). Nothing, not even the led light on the stick and not showing up in the boot device list. Soooo? simply go to bios, set up legacy etc. Still nothing, ok, did not set bios correctly. Tried again, nothing. Reset bios to factory, tried again. Nothing. Hunted around bios for something or a clue. All USB ports ok, maybe some special jumpers on the motherboard to disallow USB boot?? Total confusion. Then after some hours of headscratching... the USB stick itself ?? Tested by booting my 2 Dell laptops, zero problems. So it must be the HP pc!. Back to bios settings. Still no boot. Last resort ... another USB stick? Actually copied the Reflect boot files from the 1st stick to another stick ...and the HP booted immediately from it. Should have taken the clue earlier > the missing led light on the 1st stick, and immediately used another stick. Moral of the story, USB sticks are not made equal. Behaving perfectly normal for standard file operations and everything else on some machines does not guarantee success in all cases.

Long Distance Calling - Ascending

lol Considerably more businesses running Windows 7 than Windows 11 https://betanews.com/2022/10/10/businesses-running-windows-7-than-windows-11/ People just aren't switching to Windows 11 https://betanews.com/2022/11/01/windows-11-low-share/

Wintersun - Time + some reactions :O)

Some months now using a 'real' Dell 56wh > zero problems, behaved perfect from day 1. Paid for something that was actually worth the money, ref. the ridiculous trouble with the cheaper clones (see posts above). +++ to Amazon, no problems returning \ getting fast refunds for the misbehaving clones.

Applied this month's updates, 10 ltsc & 8.1, went smoothly & everything still works :O)

Also, O&O shutup. Tested and working.

Update Day ! Did my 10 ltsc (& the trusted old 8.1). Initially all looks good (but as always, Reflect image 1st). This time allowed drivers updates etc, to investigate what WU would imagine what was intelligent to do... & of course, example, proposed and installed some older intel graphics than what was already there. Useless idiots. The list of stuff to be updated (or surely downdated), how immensely informative to see 'software component', 'system', 'extension'. Useless idiots 2. Thinking about how vastly superior the update setup was before 10\11.
