My "Resident Old Lady With a Laptop" had another problem this morning - her lappy screen had shrunk, lots. So I drive over there to find out why. Screen resolution changed - no longer her native 1360 x 768, it's shrunk to 1024 x 768, leave in two inch wide black bars right and left. And why is that? because it forced the Anniversary Edition update on her last night... 
Two minutes to diagnose and fix, 60 more minutes to get out of the building...
Stop doing this MS! Please?

MS forced an update to the Missus' laptop yesterday. She doesn't have a lot of time in the evenings and had to pay some bills. Right in the middle of it, the update started and presto, she couldn't use it for the rest of the evening... 
Guess who was not a happy camper?
WHAT? Lend her mine? Never, ever! She likes installing all kinds of crapware (guess who has to clean it up btw!). No way I'm gonna let her near my computer. If I want crap installed, I'll do it myself, thank you very much!

Simple solution... non-admin log in for her, just a regular user.

I dunno. Can't we find something more restrictive than that?

She installs crapware, yet gets upset when MS pushes updates?
(although I realize some will argue there's no distinction...)

Not only "Sunshine" - it was used in several other films, trailers, TV series, documentaries and adverts as well: "Adagio in D Minor"[^]

Originally Sunshine, but of course everyone wants a taste of such epic epicness 
Underworld's To Heal is a great track too by the way. A bit short, unfortunately, but great nonetheless.

If you have been living under a rock, you're probably unaware of The Grand Tour coming to Amazon Prime next month. For the rest of us, this[^] is what Top Gear should look like.

It's been in my planner (Amazon Prime and Google Calendar) for a couple of weeks - and from the trailer, it looks damn good!

It does look good. Clearly they have taken their time and done a good job, unlike the Beeb, which rushed the crappy new Top Gear out and made a mess of it.

Survey time: What's the record for how far people watched the "new" BBC Top Gear?
I got 3/4 through the first episode!  .... well OK, closer to half.
Sin tack ear lol

I watched the whole first episode - or at least I watched the first half hour and then glanced up from my tablet from time to time for the rest - and a few minutes of episode 2.

About 30 minutes was enough for me to lose interest and never watch it again.

One question... how do I get a gig like that?
I want someone to give me and a couple of buddies 3.2 million to go muck about in very expensive cars in exotic places. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.
|
|
|
|
|
Just punch a BBC producer, and the gig's yours!

I am confused, Pete, how are expensive motor cars like "cocktail" ? For me, "Grand Tour," refers to the custom of English hi-sos (like Byron) traveling extensively in Europe; I am not familiar with the TV series cited.
It's not too hot, and not too cool, here, under my rock.
cheers, Bill
