Yup, and it’s on what was a mid-line laptop from 3 years ago. Only just started recently.

At home I use a thinkpad that I got 2nd hand 10 years back, and it feels like warp speed by comparison.

TBF yellow us pretty awesome

Indeed, I don’t have admin rights for anything outside of IP address changes at work.

I just thought of another bug bear, start menu lag on mouse clicks is a very odd problem, I don’t remember anything like that, even on the first release of Windows 95 which I ran on a laptop with 25MHz and 8 Mb of ram.

Fair enough, I use 10 and 11 at work and hate it … I used to like 7, using the control panel, search, default paths and stuff seemed a lot more intuitive.

That’s why I stick with Linux at home, it feels a lot more like Windows used to, lol

What’s been your favourite version of Windows?

About 1600km, and fuck no. Hit the ground running when I was 16 and never called anywhere home again.

I agree with you over all (however when I’ve spoken with Mossos it’s been much better than with the Guardia Civil, so they are not all bad)

I was thinking of their motivations. Regarding terrorism, they missed one guy who planned an attack, so it’s not surprising they want to chase all Muslims now. I think a lot of it is to do with protecting their backs.

After the big shooting earlier this year I believe they’re more worried about drug dealers than pickpockets … plus there was a bunch of raids just a couple of months back where they found the organised crime was very organised.

I agree about the mossos not tackling pickpockets, but it’s fair to say there’s things they’re doing that are good too.

This made me giggle out loud, thank you :-)

I live in a semi tropical zone in a house with built in wardrobes, we leave the doors open otherwise we get literal mold growing on even clean clothing … I think the people who built this house were from a non-tropical area, it’s full of things like this

Only after the deaths of the figureheads who brought it about in the first place.

That’s how my team looks when I get back from holidays, every time.

My imposter syndrome has been crushed into a fine paste in this job :-)

You already know the answer to that, Sarge

While that’s true, most of them are abandoned for a reason … lack of work or water being the big two.

Thanks, unfortunately the shipping on a boxed set from the US would be brutal :-/ (and the last thing I bought direct from the US got “lost” at customs)

I’m not able to torrent stuff because I live in the middle of nowhere and use my phone for internet … the dodgy streaming sites have been a godsend TBH, since I can nibble lower res copies of things one episode at a time without the expectation of seeding :-)

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately tubi isn’t available in my country and when I’ve tried going through a proxy I’ve run into problems :-(

I’d love to watch it (I only caught a few episodes when it was first on TV), but I haven’t been able to find a cheapy DVD boxed set nor a useable copy on the dodgy streaming sites :-/

I just dig it for the concept of planet Scotland.

Should I feel bad that I like V?

Hi, I’m a left wing rather than right wing idiot. The BBC has proved itself an unreliable source plenty of times. They’re beholden to political influence (see today’s story about one of their staff not being allowed to talk about heat pumps because it’s a “political issue”)
