So mum wanted me to purchase her a new lettop.
Yeah, we just spoke.
While consulting on what she needs, I noticed that little flaw. So I gently told her :"mum, it's written with an A".
Mom goes:" aaaah! A LAB-TOP!"
Could not blame her. She made her life as first best scoring woman in business degree at her time.
And sure enough she understood laptop and we laughed a lot ='D2 -
I don't wish for free techno advice, although this site is the best place to get it.
I have a simple problem and the answer to the first step towards grabbing it by its neck and telling it who the boss is, starts here.
The problem is File Explorer in Windows 11 is doing the thing where it acts like a Fentanyl addict trying to withdraw money at a Cash Point: fucking slow.
Now, the labtop is manufactured by HP. But the software I'm having a problem with is manufactured by Microsoft.
Whom do I make the phone call to?
Thank you.6 -
Whatever Windows 10 update that ran on my labtop last night has it slower than fuckety fucking fucked up glacial icebergs. Just a heads up to anybody who doesn't wish to wait for five minutes, go do some chores, only to return to the room to discover the connection timed out. If you can prevent this update from kicking in for a few days until they work the bugs out, do. I perish the thought of millions of devs weeping into their bevvies as projects stall, customers become stroppy, and whole nations crumble... and the fucking screen still hasn't defaulted to the next one!2
