It was fun in the beginning, but the charm has been wearing off this last couple of years. Their procedures have been changing, and lately, we 'Windows Insiders' haven't been kept in the loop like we once were. That took the fun out of it, so I've moved on.
My new love is Linux Mint, and I will likely babble on about it more later on. Linux is a system derived from the original IBM Unix of the 1960s, and coincidentally, Apple's operating system comes from the same roots. And no, you can't use Apple's bits in Linux nor vice versa, because each uses a different formatting for their segments on a drive. But they do share the same basic structure, so if you're familiar with one, you're familiar with the other.
The biggest differences between Linux and Apple are that Linux is 'Open Source' while Apple is proprietary, and Apple is expensive by most people's standards, whereas Linux is free for the taking, and supported by donations and advertising.
A new pest seems to have developed slowly over the recent few years: the darn cookie notification are EVERYWHERE, whenever you open a webpage. Even in my dreams poor Monsieur Paco gets haunted by the silly notification before any dream would start on the screen!
ReplyDeleteWe all know our computing actions are being supervised from all possible angles, so why ackkowledging this fact every two minutes. Suffice it not to go to the settings and set a default way how to deal with cookies once and for all???
THIS IS SO ANNOYING, even moderate-mood Monsieur is on the brink of an atom bomb tantrum when he´s doing computer work! There´d be NO survivors!
I thought I had your email, but I can't find it now...
