Same here, IMAP via Thunderbird client on my PC or app on the phone. Just tried to log in to the website and it wil not let without my phone to authenticate! WTF, I never set up 2 factor authentication for mail! if i need my phone to allow me to open a website, i might as well just us the gmail app on the phone !
"I change mine 2 times a year"... "Just turn it on and off at the at the wall at the appropriate time of day "
"Multiple times a day" is a bit more than twice a year isn't it? Unless you consider "off" and "on" to not be changes in temperature... And then i would question if you even know what thermostats do...
As an AC fitter mechanic, yep i know what a thermostat does. I also know how silly people are by adjusting the settings willy nilly. Just leave it alone and let it look after the local environment. Thats what thermostats are designed to do regardless of outside influences assuming the system is sized correctly and if not, no amount of fiddling will fix that.
Changing the temperature of the room can be done opening closing doors and windows as well, and that does not alter the settings on the thermostat itself.
Powering the system on or off does not alter the settings on the thermostat at all either, so yeah I actually do change the settings on the thermostat 2 times a year.
Why does anyone need to change the temperature anyway?
I change mine 2 times a year, Once coming into summer to set the upper temp and again in autumn to set the lower temp for winter!. pick a comfortable temp and forget about it, Just turn it on and off at the at the wall at the appropriate time of day depending on weather conditions and forget about it.
Not hard and certainly does not require any outside connection:-)
the OP said that "were able to bypass mitigations introduced by Microsoft that thwart memory-based code-execution attacks" but then goes on to say that if patched it is safe?
Does the vulnerability affect both patched and unpatched installs?
And I concurr! I live in the middle of Sydney Suburbia and am 4.5Km from the exchange. I have always had Shit internet on ADSL2+ (3.4M down and 500K up. I have complained for years as has everyone else in the street and Telstra Replaced the last mile of Copper a few years ago. Despite all that and the fact that every suburb around me, and the Exchange is NBN Enabled, i still cannot get it now and are not slated to do so fro another few years yet.
If Fibre to the node was rolled out originally, I could have had a Much better service in place years ago rather than still now not being able to watch any form of streaming video
The original plan I liken to was to delay the rollout until everyone could get a Lamborghini at first connection. rather than quickly rolliing every one out a new Subaru WRX, then upgrading to the Lambo when each suburb had other infrastructure work to be done and roll in Fibre to the house then.
Do you drive? Because I do, and it's handy as hell. Read/write messages without removing your hands from the steering wheel, or make calls or prettt much anything you want.
there are many situations in which is very handy to use a phone/computer with your voice, and some have saved lives.
Well then you are an idiot!
When I am driving, I concentrate on Driving, not " Read/write messages" or "make calls or prettt much anything you want" Driving a vehicle requires 100% attention to the task, and anyone who thinks differently is a fool!
Turn the phone off when driving please before you kill someone! ( I do not care if you kill yourself though)
BS Go run up a VM with a fresh install of win10 and win 7 and then tell me that with a straight Face As for the rest, Fresh install of Win7 and disable the windows update service never have a problem with updates again!
I have disabled update process entirely for any home machines I am responsible for..None of my computers can run it effectively as they are older hardware, and the BS about "bettter performance" and "working fine on older machines" is just lies!.
There were different installation types I think and they all had different number of disks. The one I had had 13 floppies but most came on the New CD and had to be written to a pile of user supplied disks to install. That version had over 30 disks as you describe
IRRC, you could write the first 3 disks to boot from, then install off the CD.
The first install I did from those floppies, was on a 386sx machine with 2MB ram too:-) Took ages to complete
I still have a VM with it installed and running. I Think I also have an original OEM box with the full 13 Floppy disk installation. I also still have and original box set of Dos 6.22 and Windows 3.11 Somewhere too.
I did an interesting comparison to find out exactly what the performnace of 10 is like Ran up 3 brand new VM's on my 4 year old desktop with 8Gb ram, with Win 7, Win8.1 and Win10 preview. Once the OS installed and running, Installed Chrome and opened my default 27 tabs. Timed the process and that took 3 times as long win 10 than 8.1, which was slower than Win 7. Did several tests to increase VM ram, # of CPUs etc Still performed like shit!
Unless you have a new machine with lots of RAm and fast disk, Stay with what u have
The point was that as you have to use that company as it is in a monopoly situation you do not have a choice but t use them. At least by not using their site you are avoiding their advertising practices. Here I have no such issues and can select whichever supplier I desire, and I would certainly pick one that does not force advertising down my neck.
As a consultant for many small businesses, every Win 2012 server, or Win 8 machine i have come across has classic shell installed. They are managed by both Technical and novice users. That is the telling bit for me.
I have had the same issue as the parent yesterday. The server is internet connected and remotely managed by me, but is 300Km away at the moment!. I could not install.Net3 without the DVD installed! ( originally installed from an OEM supplied disk not ISO).
Eventually found a post that suggested I use a Win8 ISO which the components are the same. As I had one locally on the machine I use to to run up VM's Remotely I could use that instead.
Only took 1 hour of googling ! My main gripe is what the F*&k is older version of.net installed with 4.5?
Thanks. I realise the cost to produce may well be above what I mentioned and as In Australia we are very lucky to have the top class facilities available to us here for largely free ( medicare pick up most of the bill), but hope that one day a replace can be created, and they people in need will be able to get them. The cost of home Dialysis here is also a stupid cost, and the infrastructure to support it may well ( hopefully ) make it attractive to invest in this sort of development.
It is interesting about the Dialysis process you mentioned, can you post a link to some info?
I would love to know if and when this sort of research will be able to provide replacement organs for those in need. My Wife had Kidney failure 14 years ago, and receive a family members kidney 4 years later. The cost and problems associated with anti rejection drugs, although minor compared to Dialysis, do take their toll. I am dreading the day the current kidney fails and as it health is slowly declining, that will be sometime in the next 10 years probably
To be able to have a new kidney created from her own cells would negate the need to most of those drugs and the associated issues with them. To me it would be work $10 - 20k to have one made

We actually use multiple methods, and we still get spam!

I use it too and it does everything i need.
I get the same startup grey screen but a random song starts playing immediately and thats fine by me too.

Your so called Defacto Standard Keeps breaking compatibility with itself whenever a new version of itself is released so what is different?
and yes Libre Office usually has less compatibility issues with MS Office files than MS Office does!
No, 10 is definitely faster.

I agree entirely
Win 10 looks Boring and flat!
That UI look went out with windows 3 I thought

then I would still not use their site!
Snail mail and cheques still work to pay the bill and using bpay I do not have to visit their own website
Totally agree.
If I cannot block them on a site then I avoid that completely.
There is no site that supports ads that I cannot do without.

What a brilliant metaphor
Thank you :-)

What an awesome concept thanks.
Pity it did not develop further as both Hemo and Peritoneal are both quite invasive !
