my beloved workstation died after 3 years 7/24 permanent on power.
so a temporary solution is a HP/IntelcoreI5 laptop [total crap].

now I can confirm that windoze10 is really the worst I ever saw.
and after the last recent update of Thunderbird I cannot send emails
from my accounts, it only can receive and let me mail to newsgroups.

I may support maniac diseased folks and even give them jobs,
but why must all of them work yet at M$ and Mozilla ?

W11 is an odd number so you can only hope it's better.

what I saw in the win11 announcements sound even more ODD.
Lets wait for M$ start production of vacuum cleaners, this
will be the first time M$ devices wont suck.

I'd say it makes people think: if you can't be bothered, then neither can I.

Well, if you break rules you make it happen. Everyone has Free Will

You look into ad go to shop and not aware that what is suggested to
you is what you put your hand on to *buy*, and that works
from *subconscioussness*. Google know why He payed BILLiONS for that :p

I work on Windoze for RS military, and I don't like it at
all. They perform updates during work, during shutdown,
after shutdown, during boot, during log in. They
want to hide fact that they are lazy, they don't do
it incrementally rather cummulative...

If you can't send, it means your outgoing server is setup incorrectly.

Yes that's what ThuBi said, but it actually was a change in the update
which accepted my POP&SMTP username only in short format(w/o @...).
I skip today's announced update yet

Only 3 years? Ouch. This machine is 8 years. The one before that was
6 years. It died from overheating issues. Video card BGA chip kept
un-soldering. It's really difficult to do reflow soldering at home
with a hair dryer ... Later, I found out that the case was missing a
rear cooling fan. The main source of heat issues. And, the I noticed
power supply fan was in upside down from the manufacturer. It has a
bottom fan instead of a rear fan. That power supply is still working
in this machine though. I think it's now around 12 to 14 years old.
Don't jinx me! Of course, there was a time when I'd build a new
computer every couple of years. That's just too costly and too
disruptive to my life, i.e., backup/restore/reinstall etc. Personally,
I'd rather have a stable platform for at least a decade. Most of my
stuff from the 90's was lost due to failures and upgrades.

What? Something displaced Loonix at the top of your list? OMG. It
must be a new era.

There are a couple of weird glitches with Firefox 93.0 too. I haven't
tracked these down. I'm just living with them, hoping for 94.0 being
clean.

Peter principle.

Roughly, people are promoted to the level of their incompetence. I.e.,
good programmers/engineers become bad managers, etc. So, there are no
good programmers/engineers in organizations with hierarchical
management.


Just a Post-n-Go, BFN.

rare seen, but CPU may have died on overheating due a bubble in the
thermal compound [I shouldn't have used my pretty old Dow Corning]

No :) after experienced Suse, Loonix is not even worth to check on.

for the moment I run windoze edge instead of FF, similar crap anyway.
