Windows 10, Yay or Nay?

I've two encasements, no spare drives to put in them.

... but then, I have a 2TB NAS that's only half-full and a 1TB tertiary backup in my toolbox that handles my needs just fine.
 
Painful, but necessary... believe me, the alternative is even more painful.

For moving data, with few exceptions, I just use a thumb drive.

"third second"? :confused:

LOL

Sometimes you find out that the only copy left is on that one drive you tossed in a corner aeons ago... if my house burns down, then the only remaining data may just be on this one terabyte drive in the toolbox at work.

Which would suck, because I certainly don't have everything on this drive... mostly just books and music.

no deal, "currently sold out"

Oh no! Glad a bit when I did. I guess it was popular. I must have subscribed to their newsletter at some point. Most of the time I just delete them, but I have been looking for something like this.

I am still in the process of creating a functional multi-boot. I am also still "taste testing" different Flavors and Distro's as well. I needed some place to put everything. In case I have to start over.....again.o_O

Also someplace to "clone" large partitions I hope.
 
Insurance.

To be frank, I'd almost welcome a fire, as long as certain things (and people, of course) made it out.

Are you running into problems seeing up your dual-boot?
 
I've got a 4tb raid 1 array on my main Linux box (on 24/7). Being I use less than half of it, it gets backed up to the 3tb desktop drives. Swap them weekly and very little data is at risk. My very own cloud so to speak. Things I need to access from "anywhere" are put in my online storage. Encrypted of course.

Nothing is completely foolproof, but it suits me :cool:

So, maybe beating a dead horse again, but thought this little trick was nifty. I just deleted the name from by bookmarks and I'm left with these little icons. I could probably fit 50-60 of them.:) Figured that out all on my own.;)

I just pin the forums to my browser. But yeah, I bookmark the User Control Panel or My Posts, and then open that and pin it. Back button always brings me to the perfect spot to keep track of my subscribed posts.

... unless it doesn't (like when my modem goes off-line... again); then I kill the pin, delete the tab and start over.
 
I've upgraded my Windows 8.1 Pro laptop to Windows 10 Pro recently. Had to do a reset due to it's corrupted predcessor, but unfortunately i've lost all of my Steam games. Upgrade took 5h and i haven't encountered a single issue, everything works amazing and i can't wait for Anniversary Update which will go live on Aug, 2nd. I'm a hardcore gamer and i do a lots of other stuff and i can surely say that from my usage from 95 to 10, Windows 10 is my favourite, especially Store, because of games ofc. I have decent Android phone, but for gaming my laptop is for the go. And i wasn't forced on upgrade, i did it by myself , but what really makes me sad is the Windows 10 Mobile, but since i was frustrated with it, i switched to Android :)
 
I am going to have to return my ASUS TP500L laptop from Linux to Windows, sigh, yes, W10.


Linux just does NOT know how to deal with the WiFi adapter.
I have an external Logitech WNA3200 USB WiFi adapter, and no one can make that damn thing work on Linux..... I have read many a thread on issues with it, and every one gave up.

it will not lock onto a hotel WiFi signal and keep it locked in.
use it for a minute or two and it drops out, "connection lost".....

every hotel I have stayed at this summer, and that is a lot of them on my motorcycle tours......

did a lot of research, and no one has whipped this puppy for Linux.... sigh!

I can't have this crap, it has to be stable on any WiFi it can find... and it is NOT...

I have to use my phone's Hotspot, or use my Verizon WiFi router which also uses my Family Shared data....
the 4g signals have been great everywhere, speeds 4 to 10 times faster than the best hotel WiFi that I have a chance to use......

the hotel I am in right now, the Cloud 9 in Sioux Falls, SD.... the WiFi is so pathetic, that only 1 or 2 people can log in and use it.... more than that, and it crashes....

so, I am now only using my Verizon WiFi router.....

When I get back home next week, this laptop is going to be reimaged back to its' original state.
sigh.....:(
