  • Not that I’m thinking about it I bet it’s because the clock is a local app when the OS installs, but if you sign into a Microsoft account they probably re-install the clock from a Microsoft Store version. Which would give it the ability to auto sync features pertaining to your calendar and shit. So items you put in your Microsoft Planner will integrate automatically. Meaning of you use a local account there is likely no update, but if you sign in all your tasks, calendar items and shit likely automatically populate into it.

    Bet they tried to integrate it into copilot or something as well, so like in Android if you told Google assistant or Gemini to set an alarm it is able to add it directly to you calendar and such.


  • I had to have Windows not in a virtual machine for a work thing. Installed Windows 10 off a USB in a dual boot on a laptop that was already running Mint (last week). Install time was ~7-10 mins, no Microsoft account required or tricks to get around it. It pulled all the drivers for the Thinkpad when I connected to WiFi on the Desktop screen, and it updated and restarted in about 10 mins. Throw in that I configured my tool bar and themes and set my background to a flat color / changed the settings for performance over looks. Maybe 25 minutes total.

    No candy crush or anything to uninstall because the install was created using the Media Creation Tool using the selection to install on another machine.

    I use Linux on my machines standardly, and prefer it. My biggest issue was that I had to decide if I wanted to install Grub afterwords because Windows will overwrite your bootloader or just hit f12 everytime.





  • Sounds like a very rocky situation that it’s best to further discuss with your ex wife.

    Everyone’s different but I have never been in a relationship where that would have worked out well, and I’m still on good terms with all my exes. Probably best you either give it a couple more years and just move out when you think the kids are ready, or consider moving out now and figuring out how to sort the kids situation out. If you and your ex wife aren’t on good enough terms to discuss those topics, I doubt living together would work out in a healthy manner for you guys/the kids.




  • What I would do is find a router that allows a VPN to be set up on it like an ASUS AX6000 (quick search found it would support it, probably shop around to find something that’s quality). Then I would set it up to broadcast for the personal use and a separate wifi name like WORK WIFI and set a password on it that’s different than the rest of the wifi you broadcast for home use. Only connect to the work wifi with his work device and all the traffic will go through that VPN. He can get a cheap dedicated IP address for the state he needs from someone like Private Internet Access. They have deals like 3 years for $79 for their dedicated IPs (so less than $3 a month, not 79 a month) So really he can go cheaper if he thinks he only needs it for a year and his IP would always stay the same in that state. You just want to make sure the router has a decent enough processor to ensure the VPN can work nicely. Hopefully someone will throw in a mention of one they have used.

    Apparently they also have something called fusion that is just VPN split tunnels that you can proscribe to devices, so you could just reserve the IP for the work device and set that to a tunnel instead of broadcasting a separate SSID (wifi name) for it.




  • A gang is just a group of people who organize around a set of rules or beliefs and is considered to be illegal because they are operating outside the limits set by the current regime. Let’s use the Taliban as an example. Some people called them a terrorist organization that was by intents and proposes a gang. So when they are now called the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan, and are recognized as the government leaders of Afghanistan, they no longer are performing illegal acts, because they make the laws. If an organization turns to seize control we change the name from gangs to rebel groups. Then rebel groups to government.






  • So as someone who’s mid 30s and was proscribed contacts at 18 and had one blow back into my eye while on a motorcycle, then another crack (probably from my misuse) and irritate my eye real bad, and just give up on wearing anything. At what age would you say I should draw a hard line of making sure I get something so my eyes will adapt properly. I still passed the eye test at the DMV, but it’s gotta be close. Somehow I don’t think my distance has gotten worse from 18-35 because I can still read text on street signs and captions on TVs.

    Just figured I’d ask because your talk about 42 vs 60 adapting to lenses, or if I could just keep ignoring it and adapt when I do get glasses eventually.
