Please forgive my ignorance, but is some of this work being done via the Internet and/or on Microsoft/Google servers? If so, that might be slowing things down a bit.

Comfy couch, really neat cabling, a calm space for for enjoying chill tunes or skiet&skop - looks like it could be a candidate for a Happy Place. May you have many hours in the Sweet Spot.

And you have a seasoned Tosh laptop for your MX-23 XFCE Linux project - It's Win-Win-Win !

Those all sound like useful checks and feedback. It would probably be irresponsible for us to not ask a bit more about the patient: Processor model / Ram quantity / Disk size and space remaining / bitness (32bit or 64bit) Perhaps a nice pic of This PC Properties or Windows Experience or...

Brick? That's certainly possible, but it's also very possible that it can once again become a productive member of society. Many problems are solvable with a generous application of money/time/knowledge/sweat. A shortfall in the supply of some of these, can perhaps be made up by oversupplying...

G'day Rhinohorn & Welcome. I am glad to hear of your non-problem. I hope you enjoy fellowship here among other non-havers of this problem.

Can you image the drive so you can restore it if your experimentation just makes things worse? That might be a useful precaution, if you have the space available. The "Create a new admin account" suggestion sounds like something that would be cheap to try? And, of course, the "check date and...

Enough of this heresy! You are a Citizen of a Consumer Society. It is your duty to Consume.

Hi 1200GXman Your experiments for Science are appreciated, by appreciators of experiments for Science. For Future Generations, can you confirm that the tests you have conducted in Feb 2023 posts #32, #33, #35 #37, #38 refer to a recently-purchased sample of Spanjaard brand "Lubricating Switch...

These are valid data points, but data needs context before it becomes useful information. There are a number of people (Dozens, I say! DOZENS!) who are quite happy to move from lots of wires and boxes scattered around the living space to..er...less wires and boxes scattered around the living...

That sounds like quite a commitment to the Family Values bit. Respect is due. How do you find the rudery? Do you have to watch/listen to the whole thing at 2/3/4x speed?

OK, thanks for the feedback. It does not help much in my case, but it's a datum which can help me reframe the question. Which is a help. And the kodi and opensubtitles fora are probably the place to do the reframing. Would persistent precipitation on a low galvanised-iron roof also be a valid...

I often find myself missing a small percentage of the words. e.g. A character mumbles to themselves to portray uncertainty, an acronym or jargon term (that sounds like a regular word) is slipped in to suggest a character is a member of an "in"-group. Perhaps what I miss is not relevant to the...

“`You are worse than a fool,' Michle said, getting to her feet, the pistol in her hand. `You have no care for your species. For thousands of years men dreamed of pacts with demons. Only now are such things possible. And what would you be paid with? What would your price be, for aiding this thing...

I am interested to hear of these incompatibilities. I read on the Internet(so it must be true) that a magical talisman called a "BMS" which could make a lithium battery a "drop-in replacement" for a lead-acid battery. Is there a limit to the power of this arcane magick to smooth over the...
