I find that the big updates just don't show up for a while. No matter how many times I "check for updates" the day before travelling, my laptop waits until I'm tethered to my phone in another country before deciding that a massive update actually exists.

That suggests some good insulation, or no ventilation? The good news? At only 73F there might be an HVAC tech available.

I find it interesting that ya'll run such old installs on your main workstations. After a year I can feel it is slower, after two I feel it worthwhile to nuke and pave. The improvement is very noticeable every time.

N150 would probably have trouble keeping the NICs saturated, but if 900MHz long range wireless is the bar, it is sure to clear it.

I had one running when I was doing lots of system builds or repairs. Nice to have the benefits of ad blocking without having to modify systems that weren't mine. Also actually helped performance on struggling systems when I had to go online.

+1 on Merc's comment. Most of the benefits I've seen from talking to someone actually happened from me stating the thing and just looking at it again. The other person was just spectating and making sure I was being honest.

In Danish culture this is a much more common problem, as the average Dane is about as socially awkward as us, and being outgoing is frowned upon. I now find myself in several small social groups (3-5 people) who chat amongst themselves in Discord or elsewhere. It is unfortunate that culture as...

Sorry to hear it.

Another thing to help rule out the switch is doing a test from System B to System C, but I think Merc might be right on the system transfer limit (bursting through the cache and then limiting).

One of the things in the Startup Repair toolset is rolling back changes to the PC. I wonder if it rolled back far enough to restore Norton? Either way, killing it is the right move. Uninstalling should be enough to prevent it from running, which matters more than every file and registry entry.

I haven't seen any of it since Ep2 (though we did recently see Ep 6 while the Stockholm Symphony Orchestra performed the entire soundtrack live). But my guess would be technology?

My experience can be summed up as: don't do anything too much. Change what you can when you think about it. Seat height, desk height, monitor height, which hand you use for the pointing device, which pointing device you use, etc. Or go touch grass or something, but none of us were going to do...

I have a Logitech MX Ergo S that I bought one of the times my wrist started acting up. I've never been fast enough with it to switch full time. I'm currently running an MX Master 3S for my right hand and change to a Superlight in my left when it hurts. I've also experimented with a Wacom tablet.

I've been helping a friend on a budget look for a 1440 gaming card to pair with a 9600X CPU his current thoughts are 9070>5070>B580, though I suspect that the Intel card will be most likely to be available near MSRP.

This is actually nearly 300W lower total power consumption than the rig still in my signature. But that said, games these days let you limit your framerate, and my display is only capable of 120hz, so 120hz(@4k) with VSync in most games I play actually draws a much lower amount of power...
