Reporting here from the "cheap seats" (but expensive in loquacity ;) ): First, for laptops, I upgraded my old Toshiba Satelite L305 from Windows Vista to Ubuntu, as my wife's sole PC on her desk. It's fine for her needs. (I upgraded it from on-board WiFi to a USB dongle, to achieve more than...

I signed up for the 1-year Win 10 security-update extension. I'll be interested to see if MS has squashed Flyby11 by the time I try to install it next year.

I keep seeing reports of major layoffs in various U. S. businesses, and about big-business bubbles bursting. How long will it be until we get The Truth anti-Social from Donnie Downer: This is The Greatest Depression Ever. Nobody has ever created anything like it. Since I've laid off the...

More Breaking News: His Royal Highness, Donnie Trumper, has announced that he is renaming it to The White Palace. (He's literally breaking the White House.)

Breaking News: Inspector Clouseau has solved the mystery of Sunday's Louvre theft of the French Crown Jewels. King Donald of Trump arranged it to create a fitting crown for his royal selfness. And it's got to be big to fit his swollen dome. 👑
