you should be able to ‘rufus’ an installer for that. the instruction in the ‘new’ minimum requirement dates back to 1st gen.

i just directed someone to a 12th gen laptop (i5-1235u) with 16gb ram and 512gb nvme at dell for $430 in a ready-to-ship configuration, search their site for nn3520gsbbs to find it.

if they put all their tv/cable channels online and had a comparable ease-of-use of turning on a tv and flipping channels (without jacking d+ rates up–except espn; sports channels should be separate), they’d see a huge influx of subs and higher long-term retention of them.

but, they won’t do that. they have the cable and satellite companies by the balls, and they squeeze regularly. gotta extort higher overall profits from that dwindling customer base–and they do.

but I just don’t get who was using it.

way more than you realize. i’ve been supporting home users and small businesses for thirty years. i run into wordpad users frequently.

wordpad has always been gimped to keep it from taking any sales away from word. if microsoft wasn’t worried about wordpad, they would have tossed a spellchecker into it back in the 1990s (when wordpad replaced write) and it would, ya know… still exist (in upcoming versions of windows).

wordpad gets kicked to the curb because microsoft thinks they can sell a few more office subscriptions if the most basic of word processors wasn’t included with windows.

meanwhile. notepad, the basic text editor that lacks even the basic formatting features found in wordpad, gets the spellchecker users have wanted in wordpad since windows write for windows 1.0

i’m on a ‘budget’ plan, where the bill is the same every month, adjusted once per year. the muni-run utility always adds more on top of estimated average bill–which i then have to pay. i always have a surplus built-up at the end of the ‘year’ of at least 1.5-2x the monthly bill amount. and no, they don’t pay interest on the surplus, but they certainly do charge late fees and interest if you ever fall behind or don’t pay for a month or two.

according to my co-worker, if you still have some left in the bottle, you haven’t used enough.

florida man: looks down. pulls. “yup. it’s merged.”

at the moment, it’s sponge bob theme…

might just maybe, possibly be, because i have classic (4:3 era) episodes playing on a random loop here for background noise right now.

watch the reddit ipo be a catalyst for a stock market crash.

when they can stand up and walk away on their own, time to get out a fresh pair.

there’s only been one, post world wars. ussr/russia has always been a wannabe–with nukes.

this firefox one lists that as one of its features:

four extra paws to knock stuff off of tables and shelves.

Well, bust my buffers!

do ya think nickelodeon/paramount actually gave explicit permission for their media properties to be fed to ‘ai’?

ya. me neither.

i think i can… i think i can… i think i can…

i fucking knew i could.

we used to do some warranty work for hp. more often than not, the part waiting for us was the wrong one.
