The thing about Windows is it doesn't get out of way and let you work. It constantly badgers you like some bad 90's shareware. And this doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me, is people accept it. I guess it no different

I don't even care at this point. I used to advocate for Firefox and Chrome on Windows platform but it just seems silly to try to force Microsoft's hand to make their platform neutral to competitors. It's like walking into a F

Steam is the best thing to happen to gaming. My library is always updated. I'm able to play most of my catalog of games on Windows, Linux and here soon on Chromebooks. Since I started to use Steam I have amassed a HUGE library that I

I have a Raspberry Pi 400 and it does a pretty good job as a desktop. I also have a HP x360 laptop from 2017 with Windows 10 and it's HORRIBLY SLOW and constantly kicks on the fan. I'm convinced that cahoots with the hardware man

Not commuting saves me about an hour each day. I feel less stressed from not fighting it out in traffic. It's also nice saving a bunch money from not paying for gas, parking and eating out. I guess it depends on the job and position an

I use both and prefer Linux. In order for me to stand Windows I have to run these two programs to remove all the crap. https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 https://gist.github.com/telamon/85fbfb

I'm guessing that this puts PCs ahead of unreleased PS5 and the new Xbox. I'll wait for the budget model to be released here in two years. Good stuff.

Our daycare used the State's regulated rate. I live in zip 97201 and it's $1,415 a day for infant care. This is the basic licensed daycare rate. I found that childcare would use this a base and go up there there. https:/&#

Yup texting isn't helping. I don't think that's the whole story. I would guess that the automation of cars, even automatic transmission is making drivers less engaged in driving and less alert because they don't have

I can get 1Gbps where I'm at but since it's price capped at 1Tb, I don't see the point of upgrading to a faster speed. I want faster but if it's just going to lead to some fees then I guess i'm stuck at slower spee

Sadly this isn't going to help. Have lived in Portland for the last 25 years, Portland was for a time, was the unpopular rainy big town. Now, Portland is known for all sort of things. I see tour buses downtown and big money has moved

It's a quality vs quantity issue. Netflix removed the ratings from their hosted content and I feel that I've TRIED to watch to many shows that were not worth my time. Eveytime I go to Netflix I can't find anything that see

We just recently moved from a city to the burbs. Our choice was multi-factored. It was price of a bigger house, better schools, less congestion and crime. My old house was 900sf, perfect for 1 to 2 people, but it got cramped when my son w

Chinese investment buyers can't be helping the situation. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/08/chinese-middle-class-buying-... Vancouver B.C. had it so bad that they had to tax foreign investment purchasing.

I'm against live-in vehicles and this life-style choice. On paper it sounds fine but in reality horrible for many reasons. For the most part, people in this situation are in a challenging state and the least of their worries is the en
