And this is one of several reasons I am switching to Linux Mint.

It must be a pretty big outage. I would imagine the weather has knocked PC off tonight. Looking outside at my window, its really windy out.

Indeed it is. I am sure normal sound and picture will be returned as soon as possible. In the meantime, here's some music...

MacOS is definitely not perfect, but it’s a lot less noisy. I’m still running an M1 16” Macbook pro and it’s still smooth, battery life amazing and no crapware. It’s not for everyone, but it’s considerably more polished than the open source distributions, and a lot less naggy than Windows if all ...

Sure, it shows the logo, and it does show the product, but the clips have a fast pace, and you don't see the finished product in its packaging, like ...

I also use a VPN (Zoog), but I generally don't have it on for general web browsing; mainly its to use American Netflix. I get the reason for them stopping users from using it, as they have been very clear that they are no longer allowing international users, but most people who care about their ...

So, because I have had it with Windows 11, its general bloatedness, the constant advertising, the AI shilling, etc. I have been testing out Linux distros. Currently, I am typing to you using Zorin OS, which is based on Ubuntu, but has similar UI features to Windows. Basically a bicycle with training ...
