Get out the owners manual and get done what is required their for the mileage you are at. Never let anyone put a Fram filter on your car. They may be the cheapest but they are not even close to the best.

I only use K&N filters. They last forever with proper care.

MAC vs WINDOWS- Help with buying a Windows Laptop

I use an Asus laptop for photoshop and lightroom. No hesitation. I do, however, use a 34 inch screen and not the laptop screen. In this case, bigger is better.

For many windows only programs you can find linux alternatives. It requires some "getting used to" though...

I have several necessary programs that will not run on any linux machine.

Thanks, I guess Linux it is then!

Would love to use Linux or Ubuntu, but many programs that I use will not run.

You should be able to make a computer accept Win11.

Can't recall if I had attempted these specifically. It's been quite a while. I'll see if any works to upgrade.

If your computer won't work with win 11 according to the health check program, go to your bios and check for something not turned on that says something about hardware security. Mine failed, but was new, plenty of ram, graphic memory, etc. I looked in the bios, while setting was not the same as named in the Microsoft program, but was related to hardware security, I turned it and all was fine. I know my suggesting is nebulous, but that how is was to me, nebulous.

We tried that and other bypass setups and I still am unable to load Win 11. What MS is telling me is that either I pay a subscription to use an OS that is loaded and runs well, or buy a new computer losing some programs in the process. Somehow spending in the vicinity of $3800 isn't too appealing right now.

Over the years, I have delt with ATT as a long-distance carrier and subscribed to their DISH network for two painful, terrible service years. This is how I now view the company. If they were the only remaining phone company, I would resort to smoke signals rather that deal with them again.

Do you mean DirectTV? Dish is a separate company. FYI, I've never had poor service from DirectTV, but I live in the inland empire ease of LA

Will you accept the November presidential results... this time?

ArtzDarkroom wrote:

Or perhaps I should be asking if the Big Cheeto accept them?

I accepted the results. I didn't agree with the selections, but still accepted the result.

Your supposed intentions aren't necessarily the actual result of posting such a query. This forum is constantly inundated with posts intended to get "tumultuous" reaction and you have seemingly been here long enough to know that. The Attic isn't actually a place intended for Mensa Meeting type activity, but obviously it is fine to attempt to do so and don't feel slighted if you are accused of trolling.

Considering the content, I did not think that there were any other forum categories that would allow this link to be discussed.

You could pretty much bet that the so called "discussion" would ultimately result in some adverse reaction and that is the very definition of trolling.

Not trolling. I wanted others opinions about some of the comments made in the piece.

Thank you for proving that my description of your demeanor was spot on! Can always count on a demented trumpette!

You were trolling, so don't whine too much!

I posted this for discussion and not for stupid inane irrelevant comments with insults that are totally untrue.

Q-boy?
I didn't expect an insult when all that was posted was an authors opinion on what he sees.
I guess I should only expect a derogatory comment from a low IQ child as opposed to critical analysis from you.
