Today I've seen a video in youtube that made me laugh.
Technically speaking it's interesting, the power that thing must have must be amazing (computing power or megaton power it's up to you and clearly forget about spending a dime on heating this next winter).
The first 13 seconds are a small cut of the last part of the video...
I've laughed seeing his reaction when powering up that thing (and yes, it's a computer): PC 8x RTX 2080Ti + max 3TB RAM - YouTube[^]
Have fun.

We have a couple of HP Proliant 'pizzas', that sounds just like that when turning on... There is a 5-10 seconds of high spin, when all the fans running at maximum speed and making awful noise...

I bought one of those years back when the company I worked for went through an acquisition and they were trying to get rid of them. I thought I'd be able to do something useful with it, given it had Xeon CPUs and hot-swappable drives (which was a pretty new thing at the time), but in hindsight, the 1GB of RAM limit made it unusable...and the fans, as you said, are so loud I can't even leave it running in the basement at night while I'm in bed two floors away.
Worst computer I've ever bought.

I posted a question in the Mobile forum on 7/17? Can any admins tell me why it was removed??

My guess is that it went through the spam moderation queue, and may have been accidentally marked as spam. I have restored the message.
Thanks,

Thaks. I'm still having the problem so I reposted. I'll remove it

I had 4 images opened in the Windows 10 app, and the damn thing was hogging up a GIG oF memory!  There has got to be a better app than this SLOW & HOGGY POS!

The old Photo Viewer from Win7 (8?) is still there, and launches nearly instantaneously. Hitting the left/right cursor keys to quickly cycle through a bunch of image files is also just about as quick as can be. It's not sophisticated, but that's exactly how I want it to be.
The URL I have in my notes points here:

[Edit]
It's been a while I've looked at that thread, but how it grew to be 56 pages in length, I have no idea (and I'm kinda scared to find out). All I know is that I have a small-ish .reg file that I've been importing into all of my new Win10 installs, and it has always worked without a hitch for me.

What does my post about using the registry to set the viewer for image file types have to do with disabling Windows Defender by using the registry?

Maybe they expand their "security" feature to more "windows own products" for your security.
They could create a new registry class and block manual changes within the whole directory. Which would affect your procedure
Seeing how they act lately... would not surprise me that much. At the end they know what we need better than we self

There's so much that would break if they went down that path the whole OS would become unusable. I'm not worried one iota about that one.

It's nice, but only freeware for non-commercial use. OP didn't specify if this was for personal use or not, but I thought it worth mentioning at least.

I recommend faststone image viewer. It is like the swiss knife for images and pretty light weight.

I use the Image viewer that came with my Linux distro. It's really fast.

Windows Photo Gallery from Windows Live Essentials 2012, it's discontinued and unsupported but works flawlessly in Windows 10, however, you must look for the installer in some "unofficial" sources.

I am at a transitional point in my career. I will again be working for myself, which I really enjoy. In the past, when I've been an independant contractor, I had a daily routine. I'd like to do the same now.
For example, in the morning I watch the news, read emails, and come up with a list of things I need to work on that day. This time, I would also like to schedule in some time for learning. I've paid for some Udemy videos. So far they're OK.
What else do you do to build on your skill set and keep relevant? Where can I go to find good blogs? What other resources do you use?
Thanks

Talk to my daughter. She grew up in a time when computing became a ubiquitous commodity. Current tech trends which I find mind-boggling are mundane for her. She's a very useful indicator as to which things are relevant.
Besides, it just cracks my sh<nobr>it up when she starts a comment with "These kids today...". She turns 30 next year.

I use the Safari Online Bookshelf.
Try Our Online Learning Platform Now - O'Reilly Media[^]
You can try it out for free for 10 days or something.
All Tech Books
Every technical book from hundreds of publishers (manning, No Starch, microsoft press, APress, Big Nerd Ranch, and of course O'Reilly and too many more to mention) are available.
You pay a monthly fee and you can read as much of any books as you want.
There are also videos and you can get book content before it releases. In the books you can find information that you can't find anywhere else.
I am grandfathered into an old plan and it was originally $19.95 / month which was reasonable. Now it is $49.95 / month or $399 / year, which is a lot more expensive.
I suggest you try out the 10 day trial. It'll give you a better idea of what is available.
Also, I've been using the bookshelf since at least 2002 or so. For the first 5 years my company paid for it.
