Microsoft? How did you think that Windows 11 was ready for release?
Seriously Microsoft? Many of the features that we’ve had in Windows for three decades are missing. The list below is just a brief list of features that are missing. A clock on the taskbar of secondary monitors. The ability to resize the taskbar. The ability to drag a file onto a taskbar icon. And this …

Yes, I’m going to go there so hang out… it’s going to be a wild ride. First of all, I am, in fact, a traditional computer user. I’ve been using computers since the early days of computers. We’re talking back when Windows 3.1(11111) for Workgroups was the cat’s nuts. I remember tweaking autoexec.bat and config.sys …

Read More Chapters 5 and 6…Johnnie Walker Blue Label
I can finally say that I have had a shot of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Well, here’s my critique. It’s good. I’m not denying that it’s good. However, is it as good as the price tag would suggest? Not by a long shot. It’s smooth, real smooth; but in a way, it’s too smooth. There’s …

I had to disable CloudFlare on this web site, it was messing up a lot of things like renewing my Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the how and why it wasn’t working. Not only that but there were a lot of things that the free plan …

So the system that I gave my father that had an old Intel Core i5 3570K was showing signs of instability. Well, I did have the chip overclocked for quite some time to 4.4 GHz when I was still using the system so who knows, perhaps the overclock for three years resulted in a degraded …

I talked some time ago about how I stepped away from DSLReports, I went back to the site after a month of not visiting it and kept going to it for some time until I once again got into it with the moderators over what was essentially very stupid stuff. I don’t agree with a …

Yes, I know… this isn’t a normal tech blog post but I think it needs to be said here. The Death of Star Trek is upon us, they’ve pulled the fourth Kelvin timeline Star Trek movie because the third one bombed so badly. Now why did the third movie bomb so badly? It’s very simple …

Some people may remember that I wrote a rather glowing review of the Intel Core i7 8700K (review linked here). At the time it was the best processor one could buy at the time if you were a gamer. Ryzen version 1 had issues, clock-for-clock AMD was indeed slower than Intel and game benchmarks did …
