I dunno, it just always seems to be a struggle. Typing in the location you want just seems to work a lot better.

I went to 8.1 to 10 on a Win7 rig, then I boxed it up and put it in Ramona's Mom's garage. Then picked this refurb Win7 machine up for $120, and put a $200 vid card, SSD and more RAM in it.
I ran Win2K pro for years past end of support. Made sure I was never logged in as Admin, only ran progs as Admin when needed. Nothing bad ever happened.

I actually have 8.1 with the "2 worlds" I use the standard world which is very win7 ish. The other "world" is epic fail imo.
Win 10 was released a while back now. When is win 11 coming down the pike?
Edit: 7/29/15 release date so maybe a few more years to push win 10.

Sorry, I was a slacker. Had a fantastic club ride, then some yardwork, followed by a tour of NJ to visit relatives. It was a very busy day. Today’s ride is rained out so I will try to make up for yesterday’s absence.

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day... well, except for the morning, which is when I would usually ride. Instead, it was pretty much family time all day. It was great, but I was still a little from not getting in a ride.
Slowly suiting up for a ride this morning, but damn is it dark out at 7am these days.

What is the fatal attraction of voice-activated navigation in the car? Riding with friends I have observed at least 10 episodes of trying to get directions by voice inquiry, without a single success. Several of the examples actually were using On Star with a live agent coming on to perform the search. It never works. Never, ever. Either you are totally misunderstood, you get a restaurant 2,000 miles away from where you are, or the On Star agent keeps you waiting for 10 minutes while they display their ineptitude. But just type in the restaurant name and street name on your phone navigation app and the right place invariably pops up. I understand if you are driving that the voice method would be attractive, but it never works. Just stop and type in the details. My phone navigation connects to the car navigation screen, so it is a perfect way to do it. Easy typing on the phone and easy display on the dashboard.
To be honest, though, when I just asked for medical equipment, my destination was the first place on the list. I guess it pays to ask for a general item rather than a specific name.

I figure that that is some of my problem when using voice commands. Even though I was born and raised in the Midwest which I've heard is the generic accent for voice devices, my parents are from a location where the accent is a little more country drawl accented and people have said to me, "You're not around from here, are you?" I've been told that I need to enunciate more clearly.

We got a new computer. I took the HD out of the old one and will see if I can transfer data with it. There are two connectors, I am guessing one is data and one is power. I need to find plugs for both on new computer, right?

So the new computer is an HP Pavillion. Recall that I believe the old computer failed due to a fault in the boot section of the hard drive. I really would like to try to transfer all my data from the old hard drive to the new computer.
Step 1, easy peasy, take the lid off the old computer and disconnect the hard drive. Done. I note the ribbon cables in the OLD computer have multiple outlets for additional hard drives. I figure open the new computer, plug in the cables, and see if it works.
Step 2, fail. Open up new computer. There does NOT seem to be any outlets to plug in the old hard drive, unless I muck around big time and try to disconnect new hard drive.
Suggestions??

Cold and wet today, the leg and arm warmers never came off and the shell was on for most of the ride. And yet, it was a good ride! It would have been even better if I had actually dressed properly for it. Didn't bring shoe covers and my feet were thoroughly soaked after a couple of hours of riding.
The bad news: riding across the Golden Gate bridge was cold with mist blowing horizontally, and wet. Did I mention cold?
The good news: riding across the GG bridge was cold with very few bobbleheads. (That's a technical term for first-time cyclists on a rental bike.)
Ridgecrest Rd near the lower Mt Tam parking lot.

Yeah,
Big Vaccine is creating artificial scarcity to please George Soros and the Velominati.
My wife had to wait well over the 6 mo limit for her second dose. When they called her in for it, she asked if she could put me on the list and they said, "Oh, just tell him to come in today." Apparently, letting spouses cut in line was RiteAid policy.
Anyway, yer young yet.
