Windows 11 is worse than Windows 3.0 or Windows 8.1

One hou
r to crop and post an image when it took fifteen seconds in Win 10

Text editing is just as bad

look in your downloads or screenshots folder

It put it somewhere else. I had to seRCH FOR TH LAst saved file.

Once I get used to this it will be easy, but there is NO easy transition from Win 10 to Win 11

Or I have just become Alzheimery or stupid.

An OS update should make things easier, not impossible to do or find.

You'll figure it out. Look at it this Way, it's not a Mac. The one I told you my daughter gave us...

I bricked it. It is now a huge paperweight. Customer service said they've seen it before but don't know how to fix it! I spent a few hours of my life on that piece of crap and gave up.

On a good note, we got that Mac because we thought Woody's PC was going. Even after a clean wipe, it was slower than 56k, if anyone remembers that. We changed internet companies and now it works just fine.

Apparently, it was too far from the bedroom where the modem was. We were used to watching the little circles in the middle of movies. It was a family owned company, but as soon as it was sold.l, it went crappy pretty fast.

Now T-Mobile offers home Internet, at least here. It's $50 mo for 5G. My other bill was about $100. We still have to return the old modem. I doubt they're going to refund even though I just paid it

Hey Good to see you posting again!

I still use windows 7. Os76.

I still have windows 7 on my laptop and desk. Sure there aren't any updates, but I don't have any problems.

Right? I use an 18 inch gaming laptop I purchased in 2012. Once my laptop dies, I might go over to Ubuntu. Heard nothing but bad things about windows 10 and 11.

I was saving to get a new pc, but it would have cost me 4 grand. I dumped the 2k I had saved into a new used vehicle instead. Probably be another two years before I can upgrade my pc now.

I'm using a refurbished laptop I got on Amazon and it came with windows 7. I have a disk to put it on the desktop I built years ago. I like it.

Now I have a tablet so now I forget things on windows. I can't hardly type anymore. I'm a swiper now.

I would love to build a new PC, but I assume prices are ridiculous like everything is now.

At least you both have usable Internet.

My county in Virginia has no wired Internet and since I'm surrounded by tens of thousands of acers of cornfields there is very limited cellular coverage; corn doesn't need to make phone calls.

I have installed two 6dB gain antennas outside on my home, connected to a cellular modem inside which is connected to a WiFi router in the house that our cell phones are routed through. I have installed anti virus / anti malware software on the WiFi router to protect our connected devices.

And all that $1,000 USD of hardware provides me with is 5.7 Mb download and 2.6 Mb upload speeds. No pics, Win 11 doesn't allow you to copy and paste images or screen shots.

I have a Starlink satellite system, but it has sat in its boxes uninstalled since it was delivered in September one week before I broke my arm which hasn't healed in seven months, so it sits in its boxes waiting me to install it.

Some years life just sucks.

Dinner is pork fried rice with general Tso's chicken on top.

'Still can't figure out how to open and edit photos in Win 11, the worst OS MS has ever made since they removed cropping and editing from Paint after being there for twenty-five years.

Thanks!

I have free use of Starlink here where I am from family that has it, but I personally pay for and use Centurylink.

When I have a large gig download, I switch over and once it's finished I switch back. Centurylink runs over the telephone lines to get to my residence here. I live about an hours drive out of town, in the mountains.

Before that was available we had Wild Blue, which I purchased the equipment for. Starlink is far superior to that. But at the time, it was that, or dial up.

Where I am currently, a 6gig download, takes about 2.5 hours for Centurylink to complete. With Starlink the same download takes 10 minutes.

Even if you need to call someone to help set it up, you should get your Starlink going. If I was in your area, I would stop by and help you set it up for free, but I am not.

Perhaps a neighbor kid needs some money?

$50.00 to a high school kid for an hour or two of labor is all you really need. You won't regret getting it up and running. If you have open sky all around, then you won't need to do much. It probably will only take about 10 minutes at best. Here we had to install it on a long pole with guy wires, as we are in a ravine.

If you get packages delivered perhaps ask the delivery driver if they can stop by after work and offer them some money for their time? Where there is a will, there is a way.

Good luck!

I was going to purchase a specialty system with the 4090 Geforce RTX Nvidia card. I can easily get another cheap laptop running window for about $400.00, but that isn't what I want.

I can even wipe my current system on my laptop and install other operating systems, but I really want a power system for software editing and graphic intense builds, coding, etc.. and that requires some serious money.

Ha! I just read your shirt in your user AV. Nice! lol.

Great ideas, thank you!

We had leftover pot roast tonight and I remembered to take a pic

I never understood why they cut that out. I still use it sometimes. I'm sure that decision was made by the same idiot who thinks he needs to dehydrate our atmosphere.

Looks great!

Looks great and I feel dehydrated behind our atmosphere.

My cat wishes I would turn off the lights and go to sleep...

Just to update people on this..... since I brought it all up to begin with.

Heh..... I Just went on a random journey to another similar site and found her alive and well, even using the same avatar and screen name with active posts within the last few hours.

I was just off on a lark doing my own thing when I came across her.

Curry chicken over rice here tonight with zucchini and mushrooms. I get to pick the next few days dinner since my diet starts Monday.

That's awesome news! Maybe she just had a fight with someone here.

Good leftovers!

Interesting read (brief) on 'the lies on the origin of corn'

We had store bought meat pies and asparagus...can't believe how cheap it is right now. $1.00 a bundle ($0.75 FRN +/-).
Now I bought too much...what to do with too much asparagus!?
Cheers...we looked for Marie Callendar pies only because Para had them awhile ago and went with a local company that was 'close enough'.

Wow, that is cheap! Woody buys it on sale here at $3.49. it's normally $4.99.
