Just throw the phone away. It's nice not being subject to interruption by a robocaller at all hours of the day...

It's almost as if Microsoft has a contest to see who can come up with "updates" that cause the weirdest problems...

Not too bad for a network with 100s of devices connected at any given time during the day. At least it's not the typical US ISP with a DL 20x faster than the upload. It's much, much faster at night...

I use GIMP. It can convert images to and from all common formats. And it's free.

Windows 11 has AI baked into it. Even the X-lite version needs a bit of trimming.

I'm practicing the art of understatement, to say the least...some people get ...sensitive.... about criticism of MS.

It happens a little more often than it should, but it's usually quickly solved.

Going to play with that for a while. See if I can make it work. Thanks.

This probably sounds a bit ridiculous but because I specialize in resurrecting bricked laptops and giving them back to people who can't afford new ones, I'm looking for an easy way to create the same kind of bootable recovery partitions OEM manufacturers use to include their software setups in a...
