Already not a fan of these crazy updates. My hubby was up until Midnight last night making sure everything would work for me this morning.
Signed in this am, and it was like slogging through molasses, everything was sluggish. When I tried to type, it would do about three letters and then hang.
When hubby got up, he noticed that the hard drive was working really hard. Closed everything and put up the Task Manager, where he discovered lots of things running that had never been there before. Took him almost 40 minutes to get it all straightened out.
Iām so glad I have him around, otherwise Iād still be trudging along in slow mode.
I support hundreds of users at work and the most critical 4 users at home. Weāve only got one that uses Windows 10 regularly and I turned most nearly everything off on his machine. He only really needs Firefox and the VLC player.
Iām vicious when it comes to cruft programs running on a PC, if it isnāt something critical to what the machine is being used for it goes.
Thatās what I feared. Itās way more frustrating in just a wiki post, and then to deal with a days worth of news and everything else associating with an average day, it simply stalls your progress.
I have an old laptop that I applied the free Windows 10 update to, and now, itās at a point where every reboot, I need to reboot it three times to get a working screen. Of course, with the Intel GPU not having official drivers beyond Windows 8 (not 8.1), eh.
Windows 10 does have features Iām interested in, but all I hear about are issues running the damn thing. One podcast network has someone who was trying to give it a chance, but the damn thing ignore the working hours and rebooted for an update when he didnāt want it to. If Windows canāt respect the times you say are a no go for rebooting for an update, should it be trusted?
I put the free Windows 10 on my sonās PC and the spare Laptop I have. Neither had any driver issues and I turned off all āAuto Updateā features. My son powers his PC down when heās done with it and does the manual update dance regularly. I keep the laptop going, it isnāt my primary machine, I use it for experiments with Windows 10 and various applications that we use at work.
Windows 10 is still a ānot ready for prime timeā player in my book.
I have Windows 10 on both my main desktop (free upgrade from 8) and laptop (which came with it) havenāt really had any issues with it since I mostly use it for gaming and web surfing. When you do decide to use it, good AV program, proper Windows security setup (mainly telling it what and what not to track) and a good utility program thatāll repair / fix registry errors are essential.
Iām still holding out on my Windows 7 installs. Every time I start to think āHey, maybe W10 is worth getting (and supposedly it can still be obtained for free)ā, reports of Microsoft dropping the ball with it come around lol.
Just yesterday I heard tell that Microsoft pushed out a borked update for W10 that doesnāt play nice with multimonitor PCs. Iāve got 2 monitors on my PC and with my luck, I wouldāve been hit by this had I ābit the bulletā and gone W10
Flying Cars, not likely to happen. I see dozens of reasons why every day, we live under one of the main approaches to Orlando International Airport. Imagine someone determined to do mischief, or just plain drunk, at the controls of a flying car around big jet liners.
No, I think the technical issues with a flying car were solved long ago. Itās a practical problem that I donāt think is solvable even with automation.
If we do have flying cars, it will be when we can just hop in, input our destination, and just enjoy the ride. There has to be NO manual control over the car what so ever.
Iām annoyed with Facebook trying to get me to sign up when I follow a link to a video their hosting. First thing you see, a box telling you to sign up or log in to follow whoever made the post. Then, if you just click the no thanks link that is really small (in a simple link, whose font size might be smaller than what is used on the forums here actuallyā¦), it just resizes to be about 1/2 the height of the screen. No way to remove it!
That brings to mind the scene where Tom Cruiseās autopilot car is hacked by TPTB and heās forced to bail out of it in Minority Report.
ā¦I could see Jeff Bezos buying Uber or Lyft and offering this service, the guy is obsessed with drone deliveries of literally everything and Uber has been offering helicopter services already.
I agree with that, and so does that crazy mailman who landed his gyrocopter on Capitol Hill back in 2015
Streaming music to your phone I suppose. Make Tidal a part of Sprintās Cell service. I know from the HiFi side of my hobbies that Tidal is used by a lot of people for their streaming source.
