    You too, don't have *your own words*, as you like to put it, on anything. You just recite mass media propaganda that doesn't interest me the least little bit. But please, do carry on, as you feel you must.

    Well, to be honest, I don't like upgrades at all. Something always gets buggered. I have the same issues with Linux. I always get better results with a fresh install that I know is clean.

    she's far too able to get away with doing bad things and that scares me more than anything.

    Who is it that said, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."? (Not Lombardi) And I'll paraphrase his other famous quote; *Beating [the opposition] is not a matter of life or death, it's more important than that.*

    You gotta remember, they don't play under the same rules we do. It is a game of sociopaths. You should be scared of whoever wins.

    And another thing, this election is a bigger reflection on us, the fans, than of the players and team owners. It represents the national character. Since nobody seems to care, you gotta wonder who is the bigger sociopath amongst us all.

    Still 6 to 7 years is still good

    My newest machine is 8. The real issue is planned obsolescence. It is unfortunate that the market collective finds it perfectly acceptable.

    but yes manufacturers have a financial incentive obviously not to want to support something for more than 5 years out.

    Yes, this is why I believe that copyright/patent privileges should never extend beyond that support. I'm not singling out Microsoft. In fact, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't hesitate to produce and distribute working drivers if they were allowed to. When they do, it still requires a license from the manufacturer. That's not right.

    I'm just as suspicious as anybody on the matter. If a real crime was committed, somebody is not doing their job. So the only real mystery is the public silence. I figure at this point, it's the fear of Trump. That's too bad. For the republicans, Johnson is a perfectly viable alternative, and for the democrats there's Stein, though I don't think she's one to combat the sociopathy that permeates most of the world's leadership, plus she's off the deep end in regards to nukes and medicine

    This keeps happening, big update comes out and all of the defaults reset to Microsoft products.

    That's only if you use the "quick" setup. I turned all that off, along with most of the telemetry, when doing the upgrades.

    No, the hardware isn't "broken". In the cases of perfectly good hardware being trashed for lack of driver support, Microsoft and/or manufacturers should be told to offer a *cash for clunkers* solution, or lose copyright privileges that are used against third party support and distribution.

    If you really want scandalous, pay attention to the giant money-laundering operation that is the Clinton Foundation.

    Evidence? Mass media hearsay and speculation doesn't count. So if you have proof of a criminal operation, you are obligated by law to turn it over to the authorities, or be held as an accomplice.
