That is awesome. Take care of her. My parents are in their mid 70s now and relaxing in their home just 3 kms away from my wife and I. WE LOVE Mexican food and culture. We want to visit Mexico some day, not the crappy resort Mexico, the real small town real deal mexico where there are little shops and places to eat, and converse with the locals and hear their stories. We were just talking about that. We are looking at purchasing a 4x4 30 ft motorhome and just driving and living. We are done with our current life and situation. We want to go out and adventure around north/central/south America and see the world. We wish your family the best and you never know, we may end up in your area some day soon!

Can you fed Ex me some of your grandmothers cooking? pretty please? 😁

almost 500,000 people running 11 now. Well above microsofts expectations. They were never thinking they were going to get windows 10 numbers releasing 11. So they are happy where the numbers are.

I replaced the battery in my dell as well. Not because the old one was damaged or not working, but I found out there was a bigger battery available to fit inside. It was an option that I did not know about. So, instead of 8 hrs I now get 10-11 hrs. It's awesome that you got your system all fixed up.

Any update on your battery situation?

I think he was getting better performance from the stock setup vs. the canoodled screwed up version.

It will take some time for users to get on windows 11 because alot of systems cannot upgrade. So, when these systems are replaced the 11 share will trend upwards. Dumb I know. but it is what it is. I am enjoying using windows 11. Works great, it's fast and efficient for my usage.

Me too. Except I do it at the store when I am working there. People piss me off enough there, I politely tell them to Eff off out of my store! ha ha.

Yes, that's a different scenario. Since, for the most part I am self employed and live in my own home, I will never be without a pc.

I think this story was bogus to begin with anyways. They charge for windows 365, for enterprise, NOT Consumer. Consumers have windows 11/12 etc and MS365 for office/onedrive etc. Sounds like a hater / fanboy of other platforms come up with this one.

I never liked the hack job desktop features of phones. Either dex, continuum etc. I would just rather use my notebook or workstation. Phone features are more important than half baked desktop functions to me.

I was showing Kojackwife the new pixel and all the great features it has for her and her work with the meeting transcription and summarizing built into the phone. That will make her work life MUCH better instead of having to write out the transcripts, the pixel will give her the rough draft automatically with summaries, then she can go in and just make changes as needed. I am getting the pro for the extra photo awesomeness. Can't wait to be not tied to the applesphere for a change. She's excited for some customizing freedoms as well.

In that case, the device maker's website will have everything you need.

Welcome back, I have given up OC'ing. Just not into it anymore. Love reading about it all, but just want to sit at my pc's and work these days. Well that and shoot the poop here too!

So, Who followed the big "release" from Microsoft? Full AI windows integration. NOT FEELING THAT, AT ALL! Thoughts?

It's not yet. it will be in the new version of windows being released before the end of the year.

I was just reading that Bleepingcomputer writeup. Can the AI assistant be switched off?

You using the T400 series Kingston? I highly recommend them. I have around a dozen of them between 240 and 960gb. I have 2 in my workstation, one in my wife's notebook and one in my sons 2 notebooks. Plus a few extra. Cheap as chips and plenty speedy for a sata.

It does not happen to me on my desktop with my 2070 super. Might be a YOU thing and not a them thing.

In other windows news, Apple is releasing Windows vista soon.....This is MacOS sonoma with widgets activated. Very vista'ish!

Awesome. I have a master chef from Canadian Tire in my main shop. It's half sized, only needs to keep a few bottles of water and a couple dozen cans of beer cold for when I am working ha ha!

I am looking at getting an eGPU case with another 2070 super installed to take to hotel rooms with us when we are working on location. That way I can skip through video encoding faster. Just wondering now if I can use the egpu through a usb c dock with other items like drives etc attached and working at the same time.

I am not sure, I think I may have to upgrade my console too. OG Xbox. ha ha. I love that thing.

Yep, I can remember when 1500 bucks got you one of the top spec systems available. Now that don't even pay for the video card. It's bonkers.

Ahhh Kids. Mine are 25 and 17. One is on his own working at a job he loves, the other is finishing high school this year, and will be with us forever. He has autism and I am getting everything set up now for when he's finished school, he will start working with me. I will be ditching the day job at Bell then and working from home full time with him. The wife will be as well, she's dropping her job at the hospital here and moving to a home based remote line of work. We paid for every cent of our oldest going through university so he would not be saddled with debt once out. Now, when we go visit, he buys us supper once a trip ha ha!
