  • What's the laziest thing you have done?

    Jump

  • we went to walmart awhile back to pick something up that was in stock in our store.

    the asshole behind the electronics counter said "we don't have that in stock". didn't even look. didn't want to check his handheld after we showed him what the web site said.

    we stood right there and ordered it online.. for delivery from the store.

    we finished up there, swung through arbys drive through, then filled-up the car.

    and we barely beat the delivery guy from the store home.

  • one of the reasons i have captions on all the time. so i can keep the volume low enough during the program that the loud(er) advertisements don't knock me out of my chair... or interrupt my nap.

  • the neo is still a relatively new product. the increase on it was probably planned from the beginning.

  • normally i'd be against 'upgrades', too, especially that different.

    but this was a special case and i did have three decades of wading through this shit to pay the rent to work from. a fair bit of reading and a lot of prep ahead of time made the actual upgrade process itself almost completely uneventful. i did find one odd thing after it ran awhile, but it hasn't resurfaced since.

  • P.S. I can be wrong, but IoT right now doesn’t shield oneself from installing copilot and other garbage, making this edition not better than others, you still need to debloat it.

    a full year in here, with regular security updates. 11iot is still unmolested by microsoft shenanigans. nothing installed on it i didn't put on myself, or didn't come with the stripped-down windows, which isn't much at all. there's no store, so all the store-delivered shit is absent.

  • Do you have any baseless predictions for the future that you nonetheless expect to occur?

  • that's probably most the holdouts left. the absolute brutal persistence of 'upgrade' offers and win10 doomsday warnings on eligible hardware got most users to do it, even if they didn't really want to.

  • no need to format to install LTSC

    you can modify a text file on an ent/iot installer to allow system and data preserving upgrades on pretty much anything, even 'home' or 'home premium' editions. i have one here that went 8 pro to 11iot--runs great, and have tested 7hp to 11iot as well. that was the test done before i did the one that 'mattered'.. still using it the test system, too. haven't bothered to redo it or reload anything else on it yet.

  • you guys might be interested in this, then:

    Oasis is a Windows 11 driver for SteamVR for VR headsets of the Windows Mixed Reality family, such as the HP Reverb, Samsung Odyssey, Lenovo Explorer, or Dell Visor. This driver does not require the Mixed Reality Portal application and is therefore compatible with the latest versions of Windows 11 (24H2 and future).

  • "We Listened" - Commodore Reduces The Price Of Its Forthcoming Callback 8020 'Dumbphone'

  • the cheap flip phones are truly dollar-store build quality and cameras. mine has a crappy radio, it seems, too.. nearly always roaming on another carrier's nearby tower because it can't pick up the vzn one just a couple miles outside of town.

    the 'rugged' ones are built better and can take a literal beating and still work, but they cost as much as a recent model 128gb smart phone.. and still have squat for storage and lousy cameras.

  • "Consumers can now choose whether to add Commodore’s custom-designed Hi-Def IEM earphones during checkout, rather than needing to pay for them when they may already own a pair they love. Premium memory will be available as an option, with Callback defaulting to rigorously stress-tested “post-consumer” high-speed memory chips, backed by Commodore’s identical, comprehensive 1-Year warranty."

    so.. to lower the retail by $100... earbuds not included, and reclaimed ewaste memory chips (hopefully that does not also include the main storage) now the default configuration.
