That being said, you can plug the fold into a hub and use keyboard, mouse and big display at the office, home, etc. I am hoping I get one for Samsung ambassador use.

MS had a decent tablet experience with windows 8 and 10 "tablet mode"...The workings were there to have a great setup. However, dumbarse Nadella canned the entire thing. Users are dumb and can't get that they could switch between modes which was awesome. Oh well just one of many many dumb moves that Nadella has made since his tenure as CEO of MS.

Agreed 100 percent. Ai is mainly used for making images of 3 boobed women. Not taking over the world. ha ha.

What sucks is that every linux distro I have tried, even mint, is a compromise of what I get with my windows 11 user experience. Hate to say it. For old machines, HELL YES, for newer ones that run 11 without issue, it's a bigger question. I am going to load mint on my system that has garuda on it and try again.

I am back on my Zorin OS equipped Dell insprion 3169 right now. I love this litte machine. I have a few setup issues I need to fix, like getting waydroid to work correctly. It does not access the wifi/Bluetooth etc on the laptop, the scrolling speed is WAY too fast, and I don't know how to slow it down. ha ha. Other than that I can live with this distro without issue. Next up is getting my server finally built and on linux. I was planning on doing that while I was recovering but damn, time flies.!

I went into bios as well after. I was having thoughts my fan wasn't working. So I set the bios to "high performance" mode. The fan does not get really loud like it used to. I am thinking it was so blocked up with husky fur that it was working way harder. I took the back off, repasted with NT-H2 and cleaned the fan and heatsink. I ran the benchmark in affinity and gained about 20% in performance. ha ha.

I tried booting just now. It hung on the first power cycle, so I re started and hit esc, boot options showed up in the top right corner and it booted into windows quickly. Must be something with secure boot, or EFI. I will try hitting esc on every power up now and see if that helps.

I never tried that. Its messed up though. no hardware faults showing when testing hardware. I agree though it's some sort of hardware glitch.

I have been having issues with my laptop recently where I will start it up, it will show the dell logo, then go blank. fire it up again, it will show the logo, spin the circle for a second, then stop. third time, spin the circle a bit more then go into dell system scan, exit from that then goto automatic repair. After I shut the system off when automatic repair it boots into windows, but it's slow. internet is not working correctly. After another restart, everything works somewhat correctly. Temps are fairly high at 50dg plus just watching a youtube video and then peaking to 70. I have seen 70dg peaking to 98. What do you think it is? Motherboard issue?

I am thinking my motherboard is failing. I have graphics issues that updates settings are not fixing. Therefore I am going to try to replace the motherboard for now and see if that helps. My question is do I get the MX330 graphics and try to upgrade to discrete graphics, or is Iris Xe on my 1165G7 better than the MX?

Jez does hit the nail on the head with this one. It's the same nail I have been driving since 2015 when The dipshat CEO cancelled windows mobile/phone for effing business facebook. Why Microsoft's enshittification of Xbox, Surface, and even Windows itself — are all by design | Windows Central

The world runs on windows, Always will. No one will change to linux in governments, Large business etc as the scale is to huge to complete. Everyone will still use windows, people will bitch, but ultimately buy a new system or rufus it. Governments and large business will buy new systems to comply and MS knows this. I tried to switch to linux and found that I was missing so much that I just gave up on the idea. I will never goto macOS so, windows it will be.

The piss poor management and Nadella's "leadership" is ruining everything. He admitted that cancelling windows mobile was a colossal blunder, now, his Ai / Copilot everything is a flop, adding ads into everything is pissing off loyal users, he is almost like Jim Balsille from blackberry. Jim hyperfocused on getting an NHL team for waterloo and let BB die in the trenches while doing it. Nadella hyperfixates on one thing. When he was put in the position he was hyperfixated on "the cloud" let every other aspect of microsoft suffer. Then he canned mobile, made windows worse on touchscreens to purchase F*&KING business facebook, Now he's hyperfixated on Co-Pilot and everything else suffers. SMDH.

I see alot of WhoKeys promos on youtube. They should be pretty "legit" too.

The union backtracked on moving to linux quite quickly. They are now only dumping office for libre. That will probably be backpedaled on as well.

Some Newfoundland talent called Signal Hill. They originated in St. John's, and are the house band at the Lower Deck in Halifax! Love these guys!

for all the trumpanzees who think he is telling the truth about ANYTHING.

Update. it was windows 11 on my old drive blocking the install (go figure). I took another system I have here that had an old deepin copy on it and garuda fired right up. it's almost completely loaded here now and I can't wait to fart around with it. The system it's on is my old acer s3 391. Super low spec, but at least I can try the functionality of it. If I like it I will format the old drive I have here and give it a whirl on my new system.

Thanks for the well wishes my friend. Yeah, I am doing good again. I am mostly back to normal now. I still can do physical exercise, or lift heavy stuff. We did a full day trip to see our son on his birthday. Over 1000 kms of driving. I am feeling it this morning, but I will be ok. I can't wait to get back to 100 percent because I will be better than I was previously! Now if I could get this damn laptop to co-operate with me I would be happy! ha ha.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I am now recovering form having emergency bowel and bladder surgery. Had 2 ft of my bowel removed and 2 stents in my bladder when they did that surgery to redirect urine etc away from the bowel sites. I was in the OR for 5 hrs. Then in the Hospital for 5 days after that. I am home now and recovering without any serious issues. Take care and stay positive about everything!

I went to install garuda on my laptop, and it would not load no matter what I tried. Windows on my old SSD kept C*@Kblocking it. Did I miss a step? I downloaded the ISO then pushed it through balena. Was there anything else I needed to do? Do I extract the ISO?

Hopfully all linux distro's do this. I can't move yet as Space Engine does not work smoothly on linux. YET!

A little east coast Canada content. Matt Mays! ROCK ON! Matt is one of my favorite artists. give this a listen! It's pedal to the metal ROCK! My wife and I enjoying a good medicinal buzz listening to Matt!

So, I have been reading that Microsoft is putting some nice new rasomware into the latest update of win11. A McAfee ad that will not go away unless you go remove it somehow in the registry, or you pay for the f&@King program. Last straw. Glad I never paid for that new video and photo software I was looking at. I am going to figure out how to get space engine working on my son's MSI laptop and moving from Windows.

Went back to Goose red bird from the capitol theater I posted here not long ago. Damn! that jam is EPIC! The first medicine I tried was great. That one is on the "to get again" list, No pain in my body, great "vibey" chill but not flatlined. wonderful stuff. Here is another goose tune that is awesome. This band is Fantastic!
