This is it. They're a bit more expensive, but no BS, and they're made to run 24/7, so maybe a little more durable, too.

More and more happy I left Windows behind a couple of months ago. I'd been on Windows since version 3. I dual-booted for a few weeks, then took the plunge. Windows is completely gone from my life.

I'm on Ubuntu at the moment, but I'm planning a move to LMDE, I think that's a better distro for me.

I'm expecting her to be revealed as a villain at some point. She was born with a silver spoon, there are skeletons in closets, and she knows it. Time will tell.

Wow. I hope, for Chevy's sake, it's just software glitches that can be quickly solved with some updates.

I'm hoping by the time I need a new car, this insanity will have passed, allowing me to skip it. It's like everyone skipped Windows Vista.

Good one, Cora. Next time you see Barrett, try it out on him.

So many people assuming The Devil would answer honestly.

There are real nudes of me floating around the internet, and I'm fine with it.

I've been with Windows forever, since version 3. I'm old.

These past few months I've been trying Ubuntu, and it's fine for everyday use, browsing and file management. And, LibreOffice has been my office suite for years, so no problem there--I don't demand much from that.

But, graphics applications are barely there. Blender is fine. Inkscape is so-so, but I just discovered recently that it doesn't keep track of object rotation, so there is no simple way to set the rotation back to zero. Corel Draw gave up Linux support years ago, or that would be my go-to. I haven't tried LibreDraw yet, but I don't have much hope for it. Gimp is, eh.

I haven't tried playing FO4 or Starfield yet, though. I've just been switching back to Windows for that.

I don't mind using Terminal, it reminds me of MS-DOS days, but I don't see myself ever become proficient at it.

I won't be getting Windows 11, I've decided that. But I see that I'll likely need to give up a lot to make that stand.

Man, y'all a bunch a grumpies.

This technology doesn't hinge on what we here believe or predict. It will happen or it won't.

We could speculate on how cool it would be, and how it could be used if it happens, instead of pooh-poohing it.

Thank you. I'm not too proud to say I didn't know this word. And, you saved me looking it up. When I was a kid, my dad got tired of defining words for me when I was reading a book, so he taught me to use a dictionary. From then on, I've read with a dictionary next to me.
