Re: Trackballs

Keeping modern trackballs clean is still an issue which is why modern mice are a much better choice. In my case arthritic hands means fingers arent up to the constant movement with the trackball and the thumb just cant do fine enough movements for my needs. They do have upright mice that allow good ...

Re: COMBAT CHRONICLE

Economy is doing very well, inflation is around 3.2%, unemployment is 3.9% and the DOW reached its highest number ever, even though its not a good indicator of how the economy is for most people. Trump has never indicated any plan for what he would do, nor explained what he did originally that affec...

Re: Asmi linux

I dont have any issues with Flatpak overall, but I do prefer installing from the repos. Snap needs to go away and I wish Flatpak would become the go to choice. XFCE is easy to get use to, and I used it quite a bit with Xubuntu, Linux Lite and MX Linux but KDE offers a better experience overall.

Re: Bitlocker by default with Win11 24H2

I have looked at Chris"s script but I deal mainly with friends and family for support so thats a no go. On my system I prefer to make changes on my own, thru my own devices and honestly Im not as picky as Chris is with his uses of Windows. Most changes I make for myself are related to gaming an...

Re: Bitlocker by default with Win11 24H2

Many things in Win11 can be disabled now but with 24H2 thats going to be a bit more of an issue. Rufus for many will probably be the easiest way to turn off much of the crap before installing.

Re: Asmi linux

Will give it a look. The Register have some good articles but they also have had their issues with really poor journalism, that got them into quite a bit of hot water in the past.

Bitlocker by default with Win11 24H2

It will happen with new installs or reinstalls and even with the Home version but its still early, that might change. I hate Bitlocker as you get a 48 number key that youd better not lose or youre stuck. It can be linked to your Microsoft account but a lot of people still dont have one. Its been aro...
