  • Yeah, I drink on Christmas Eve and that’s about it. Even then, it’s just 2 or 3 beers.

    I moved to a foreign country and it’s tough to make friends since everyone just wants to go out to get drinks. Like, it’s the only way adults can have fun together.

  • iPhone photos

  • If you wanna take photos off the iPhone, then you can plug that in select the photos in the photos app, and then use the option to export them to files, and then just select the flash drive as the destination.

  • She’s not joining me on the trip. We debated about it while Biden was still in office and mainly decided that I’d just be catching up with friends and family and her getting a visa and a plane ticket is too costly and time consuming.

    After current events, it was a no brainer.

  • I haven been to the US since the end of 2019.

    I’m a citizen, but live abroad with my wife. I will be visiting my family this fall and I’m so happy my birth certificate is here. I’m totally bringing it with me just to be safe.

  • Since it’s currently working, I don’t want to make any major changes because, as you know, that will be my fault when something doesn’t work as expected.

    So, once it has a problem, I’ll switch it to Linux and a crypto minter as a way to fix it.

  • Yeah, I’m thinking it couldn’t be worse than windows is now. It even sometimes will drop wifi connection. So how much worse could Linux be.

    My main concern for her is how often she edits documents. Since she gets her pension, she needs to do paperwork for it occasionally, so I don’t want formatting to mess something up for her.

  • I was just looking at that windows 11 list yesterday. My mother-in-law has a 7th gen i3.

    She’s not eligible to get windows 11, but her computer works surprisingly quickly. Well it did after I removed 2 different antivirus programs from it.

    But it’s fine for what she uses it for “Netflix”, maybe an occasional dock.

    No, Microsoft, I’m not buying her a new computer for that. If ever, she’d just get an iPad.

    My wife’s in favor of just letting the computer get infected if it gets infected since it’s just a Netflix machine.

    I’m not here to debate whether that’s a good idea or not, but I’m here to say that this is what is going to happen for the majority of people.

    I’ll probably end up putting Linux Mint on it if the WiFi card will play nice, but I expect that it will.

  • Completely agree. Once they drop support remove always online requirements and provide what is necessary for people to run their own servers. That’s basically the way things used to work by default.
