Fair enough, there’s definitely a sense they have a good track record on tickets so far, something of this nature should not pose too much of an obstacle for their illustrious techos. 🙂
The most off-putting stage of the W11 installation through Update Assistant was during the 80% – 99% stage, when W10 had expired and greyed out the pause button o…[Read more]

No mouse either?
Someone from Reddit suggested EasyUEFI as a solution, they do offer a free trial, wonder if things break as soon as it expires. 😛
Lawk a mussy, issues with the new HP already. First, the description had an external optical/DVD burner drive which was not included. They are sending one through, but it’s a wait, and they have…[Read more]

Heh, this next merry go round with the Ob machine was in a way, partially attributed to the cat.
Booted up the machine today, knowing everything was fine upon the startup up bell coming through loud and clear from outside the dwelling. Great! Some time later, in pulling up a video, instead of the usual blast of sound from the SBZ, there was rather…[Read more]

A hazmat truck parked outside any fine dining establishment may impact on the comfort of patrons and ease of staff!
That thing is more than ten tonnes – the Frontier is hundreds of times more powerful, only around 30 times heavier. No bids from here either. 😛
Have you been to the Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex? Presumably the Payload…[Read more]

Fly us to the moon, but please don’t leave us there, and all those hard working roadies for Nightwish end up totally Finnished!
Nina Hagen is quite a versatile performer when it comes to styles, for one there’s Flying Saucers:

Some others include Auf´m Bahnhof Zoo, Der Spinner and Alright Tonight, there…[Read more]

Had a quick but fruitless trawl for “playable” TCG WP plugins, the most attractive looking one is the octgndev at wordpress.com, but of course we’re at least 12 years late, and things have changed considerably since then. Is there any chance at all with the Pokémon TCG SDK?
As for databases, wpdatatables is sure to do the job, though rather big,…[Read more]

Well, for sci-fi reality, we want REAL flying saucers please! 🙂 The Syfy Wire site is updated frequently with what you might say middle of the road content spiced up a little for a target audience of upper middle nerds. 😛

Yep, for some movies and remakes like that Halloween where you know exactly where things are going to be in 30 minutes,…[Read more]

If Omega Mart is the future of shopping, Vegas here we come:

Occasionally get themed jars through donations over here, haven’t come across anything quite like the Amazon set yet. And the deadly nightshade jar is first choice for the safe and secure storage of extremely valuable comestibles in deterring…[Read more]

Yes, the mysterious dostips never had a feedback or announcement mechanism, so we’ll never know what happened on the day. 😛
Have you ever experienced browser burko with msftconnecttest.com? Happened on w11 Chrome with new browser tabs opening in succession to that address. If it was NCSI, how do the browser pages help I wonder?
Ahk’s cert has…[Read more]

There’s … still a few imps dancing round and round, as firing up the old W10 Ob machine got a blank screen, rinse and repeat, couldn’t hear any obvious signs of disk activity. No sign of activity on the TV (primary monitor connected through HDMI.) The repair shop might have used a DVI connection for the monitor, however the dual monitor info was…[Read more]

Quite a few commercial sites do that now, rather than set the spam in the settings, find and use the unsubscribe link in the spam. Wonder if that’s the same in Woocommerce and the rest?
Dostips have been down a couple of weeks at least, the comments at the end of this page are somewhat off-piste as they actually refer to other downed sites. 😛

The Ob desktop is back from the repairer. He’s pretty good, and looks like he might have identified the issue with the drives configuration referenced by software using certain core libraries, like Oblivion.
Did ask him if I could have solved it with a recovery disk (DVD probably, the old BIOS/UEFI doesn’t handle USB sticks all that well), he said…[Read more]

Yerk, firmware upgrades are such that there is limited support for rollback, good luck if S76 can organize a quick fix. Can you get into Windows without issue?

You mean the Fix Threaded Replies Jump bug fix? Could work, feel free to try if you like. In the meantime, updated the above link to include this bbPress thread which has it as a core bug/feature. 🙂

Ah, sounds more like belladonna, many forms of colocasia (including antiquorum), alocasia and even unrelated Xanthosoma require steaming to remove the effects of the crystallized calcium oxalate.
The sunflower is still alive, very bowed over now, and the leaves are beginning to pale. Would you recommend harvesting the flowerhead for the pot?

Sounds like it’s a known issue. A factory reset helped one, but not another.
Someone suggested:

Go into settings > Device care > Performance profile and set the profile to light.

Is that setting on yours, it’s not found here, unfortunately, just auto-optimization under Performance.
On the tablet here there is a Battery section in settings where…[Read more]

Do appreciate the work gone into the Anandtech and 3dMark sites, the functionality is no doubt a bit more clunky if you don’t sign up.
This is planned to be a winter PC, thus a slightly unhinged reliance on cool ambient temperatures at least as far as pre global warming conditions go. 😛
Have to agree as far as performance goes, here are topcpu’s…[Read more]

Going with pretty basic, the igc has potential for some newer games on a tower with an i7 and possibly faster memory as demonstrated here:

No-one mentioned overheating in the comments there, fortunately this is only an i5, the docs tabulate heat dissipation to make us all feel safe. 🙂
And, news flush,…[Read more]

You mean no updates after the OneUI 6 update? None here either, no doubt there will be a few installed on the A8 after Android 14, might be even lucky enough to get Android 18 when it comes out.
Remember back in the early days of browsing you could hit Esc to stop images loading, there’s mention of Ublock Origin at the end of this thread – would…[Read more]
