I just got some stray boxes in above quote but think I deleted them. I'm getting weird internet troubles lately, I think it's reactions/solutions/repairs to all the internet ransomware going on.I pulled up three Japanese maple seedlings about 2.5 ft high and instead of tossing them I stuck them in a pot and braided them about a foot, added dirt and water and the experiment is on
They do test them, a lot. With Microsoft testing budgets. But Windows is a huge piece of software and there are always bound to be things that go wrong on certain computers. Think about how many different combinations of CPUs and motherboards and all that other stuff are out there, in different states of newness. It is impossible to replicate and then test and troubleshoot every possible configuration, which means some people are going to have issues. Microsoft then relies on people reporting those issues so they can replicate them and try to fix them. It's amazing anything on a computer works at all if you ask me, but I'm not a computer person so I guess that figures. I do work with computer people though, and over the course of my career that has included some Microsoft people, and I can tell you they are not a bunch of egg heads with no life experience, although some of the younger ones do lack life experience but that's true of just about all young people for obvious reasons. Bill Gates was a competent computer programmer (I assume, I don't really know his life story) but I'm pretty sure he wasn't some kind of computer genius. He's rich because he is a shrewd businessman, which means more than anything he probably understands what people want (that they don't know they want) and how to motivate the ones he works with. I'd bet he also knows a thing or two about lasers and malaria.They apparently don't test them, and now they think it's a bright idea to roll out Windows 11, because they don't have real world brain cells. They don't have real life experience. Being Bill Gates smart in computers applies to that only.
I bought an old house that was abandon for a couple years. When we started to fix it up I spent two full days messing around with repairs. I said this is crazy and went over and chopped the pipe off at the meter and plumbed the whole house in PEX in 1.5 days. You won’t regret when you say enough.I fought with a Sharkbite coupler on a CPVC/copper plumbing repair for a couple of hours. I got the coupler halfway on and couldn't get it off using the plastic clip. I finally used the metal spring removal tool compressing it with a grip clamp. Then I got the idea to install it using the same method. It worked but if I get into any more plumbing I am going PEX.
Ouch!Yesterday I was stung by a carpenter bee. I didn't know they stung but learned that females do. It was mild and only stung for a little while. Today the skin has a blush around the spot.
