I don't want to know what goes through Trump's head sometimes, but the toddler dummy spits are getting old. For example he wants to de-certify all Canadian aircraft in the US, as Canada hasn't certified the latest Gulfstream aircraft to operate in Canadian air space. Hint, Bombardier ( a huge...

I saw Cuba on that list as well...

Yeah, I’ve seen a few memes that Apples memory upgrade prices are now cheaper than the pc market! It’s expected graphics cards to start get more expensive in the new year due to expected GDDR shortages in the coming months so bit the bullet on the upgrade...

It was mainly for programming tasks, and have the ability to play games due to the beefed up GPU and cooling in it. Due to discounts, I managed to get one cheaper than an equivalent PC would have cost. They are excellent machines for their designed use case, and I don't see myself changing any...

My main desktop is a MacStudio (M2 Max), and an iPad for anytime I need portable compute. My wife and daughter both have iMac's (M4) and iPads... My son is still on a i5-11500 based PC, 64GB DDR4 with RTX3060 12GB and is on Windows 11 solely for gaming, otherwise he would be on Linux. He was...

Amusing, but for classic 90's comedy, search for "The comedy company" on YT. Here is a sample: Characters such as Con the Fruiter, Uncle Arthur and Colin Carpenter were all classics at the time. However some of it is quite racist and sexist, but that was largely a reflection of Australia at...

Fun fact, on Windows 11 Home, if you disable location services in settings (during the initial setup), you cannot manually set the timezone of the system via the Settings UI. (It's greyed out). Setting the timezone is now tied to enablement of location services. There are two workarounds: User...

As a side note, it appears that MS servers are struggling due to so many users cancelling the service: https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xbox-game-pass-users-are-canceling-subscriptions-so-fast-that-microsofts-website-is-struggling-to-keep-up-and-i-dont-blame-them

On a more positive note, Project 2025 is nearing 50% completion... https://www.project2025.observer/en (The word 'positive' is used with a bigly amount of sarcasm).
