I updated the desktop from Windows 10 to 11. It was quite painless, but there are some changes that I will adjust to in time. The first evening as I moved the cursor to shut the computer down, the button had gone. How do I turn it off, safely without just pressing the physical on/off button?
I found its very discreet placement, but I wonder what was the point of changing its placement.
I was at my pharmacy today to buy my drugs. I used my last Covid test kit when I came down with this cold. My goodness, the kits now test for RSV and flu types A and B as well. The wonders of medical science. I don't have to test to know I have a common cold.
The news today from Hungary was joyous to hear. The extreme far right leader Orban has been voted out of office. Restoring Hungary to its former progressive status will take some time, and I don't know enough about the new leader to offer an opinion beyond what I have said. Graphs indicate it has in many ways performed poorly against its comparative counterparts.
Can you believe about two months after my car had a punctured tyre that was a slow leak, I now have the same tyre punctured with a slow leak. This time I can see a piece of wire protruding from the tyre. If I pull it out, I am sure the tyre will quickly deflate. I have to fix that today. I am sure Phyllis picked up the metal somewhere in the outer areas when I allow him to take the car one day a week for work. He was prepared to take the car to get the tyre repaired, but the tyre repair place said they could not fit that in. When I had the last puncture fixed, I wasn't charged. I wonder if Phyllis would have been charged, although they probably have the record of my car stored in a database. So, yes, I wonder if young dark guy would have been charged when the old white guy wasn't. Believe me, if the job was the same and he was charged, I would make it rather uncomfortable for the Australia wide chain.
While I didn't think doing anything physical today was a good idea, I did manage to wash my doona cover and put it back on the bed. My doubled over summer sheet that I use instead of the doona from about October to April was washed, dried and put away. I washed it with the doona cover and it balled up inside the doona cover and did not dry properly, needing another half an hour of the washing machine drying cycle.

Sunday night chicken soup for dinner, guaranteed to cure a cold. It didn't but it was rather nice and did no harm.

I'm planning to stop using AI. When the answer is off, it's way off. lol What an adorable photo of handsome Kosov and pretty Jass. It made me smile. I hope you shake this illness soon. Be well!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the Hungarian election results, but we will have to wait to see if the country returns to a true democracy.
ReplyDeleteWhen my mother in law was in high school, her Czech town suddenly became Hungarian when the border moved. The principal called the students to an assembly on a Friday afternoon and told the children that the Czech speaking staff had all been sacked and could they all learn Hungarian by Monday morning!
Hungarian is the most difficult language to learn, apparently
The only supposed possible connection to another language is Finnish.
DeleteI reckon one free repair from the tyre shop is doing well. Second one could well attract a modest charge regardless of the presenting customer's skin colour. And this time you can already see what the problem is.
ReplyDeleteI am passionate about browsers - so imagine my disappointment when I reached the end of this blogpost only to find that the title of it had been utterly misleading! This should not be allowed! You are a naughty boy Andrew!
ReplyDeleteHungary under Orbin occasionally has been cited in news articles as an example (sometimes approvingly if the writer is right-wing) of where the United States could be headed. Now that he's about to be replaced, maybe the US will also be headed in another direction.
ReplyDeletePlease tell us where the discreet placement is so I will know when I change up. Some cats never become lap cats, others seem born to sit in laps.
ReplyDeleteA blue square made up of four smaller squares appears on the taskbar and the shut down is in there.
DeleteThank you.
DeleteI had to check out the news on Hungary. They gonna change policy to import more immigration?
ReplyDeleteHopefully by the time you read this you will be feeling much better. I've never had a puncture repaired for free despite the white hair nor would I expect a freebie. Most of their business seems to be repairing punctures as our roads are so appalling with so many pot holes.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better soon. I love that photo of Kosov and Jazz.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo of Kosov and the cat.
ReplyDeleteI've got Windows 11 on this laptop and I like it.
I sometimes wait until I am done with the post, to enter a title. Often where we end is not where we were going.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a bummer about the tire. I like the pic of Kosov with Jass.
ReplyDeleteKosov certainly loves Jass.
ReplyDeleteI do not use AI, and I don't use Windows, either, so I cannot help in this aspect.
ReplyDeleteI hope the tyre problem is resolved fairly.
ReplyDeleteMy computer can't update to windows 11. I get warned and warned about the consequences but it hasn't the capacity to support windows 11. Microsoft told me that in no uncertain terms, when I tried. So I'm supposed to buy a new computer because you won't support your old operating system? Tired of these big corps thinking everybody's got the bucks. I've got my own free method for supporting ancient Windows 10. I have some Windows 7 software that I loved on this computer too, unsupported, but has worked fine for years.
