Amazon is evil, but, I do like Amazon Prime for faster delivery, movies, and their unlimited photo storage. I do feel a bit uneasy that I’m bought and paid for. Heh.
The free 3 mo Apple+ that came with my Mini sold me on that one. For All Makind, Man in the High Castle…. hooked!
Slow Horses!
Junking a QuadCore 6600…. what a slug.
So old I remember ppl bragging about them new. Junked the last one that was running as a Fedora 4 web server 12 yeara ago.

My latest technology addiction is Casio watches. I ordered a Casio GWG-B1000 slate grey unit. At the moment it’s moving through the Japanese postal system (in Kanagawa). After this purchase I think I’m done with buying watches. I don’t have any other technology items to buy right now. In a year or two I’ll get a new iPhone.
She wanted me to add her hubby as a user on that Lenovo… HYG we’re talkiing 6 min boot, 5 min to start Edge, 5 more to load the page and two or three mins to responf to a click. Could barely keep up with the keyboard. Windows so messed up and running on a Win7 OEM uograde key, hopeless.
He’s getting it back with a used SSD and RasPi OS 386. Runs berrer than it did brand new.
Would’ve upgraded the RAM but I binned all my DD2 years ago. 4 GB is just fine, I didn’t even noticed one stick was unseated until I went to close it up! All the setup, installs & testing was done on only 2GB RAM.
One less Windows infestation on the world wide web. My buddy had a perfectly usable, older Windows 10 box with 4 GB RAM and a 460 GB HD. Not up-gradable to Win 11. I put Ubuntu 24.04.3 on it. It runs better now than Windoze. Linux automagically identified everything including his nice, newer Brother network printer. I love putting new life into perfectly good PCs.

Went into septic shock, just out of hospital Monday, Felt better today so I tackled 2 laptops waiting from before I went in.
Neither guy would not go for Linux, as he insisted on Windows I did this cheap Acer with my Rufus Win11. OMG ungodly slow, my old Pi4 runs Win`11 faster.
The other one I managed to boost to 8GB and an SSD, it’s ‘acceptable’
Wow! Glad you’re feeling better, herbie! I bought this GWG-B1000 Mudmaster directly from Japan. Casio Canada was sold out and Amazon wanted to charge me $200 more for the unit. Even after paying the import duty I saved $200. It’s a nice unit. Pairs with my iPhone.
Wow! Fun day, upgraded the PHP on my server and broke some of the Wordpress sites, And it was Woedpress telling on all those sites the PHP upgrade was recommended.
Couldn’t debug it fat enough and took half the day to revert to PHP 7.4
I was hoping that qas the cause of some plugins that worked on one site but not another on the dame server.
Getting SO annoyed with MSoft.
Had a hotmail account since the days of dialup and seldom use it, but if I do they’ve changed shit and I get bombarded with ads. They want a security code, sent to an alternate email that seldom arrives, etc etc
Win 11 ads in the start menu, in notifications, if you scroll too far left….bah!
Gotta uaw the Mac and the Pi for personal, but I’m always on the PC for work stuff
