Windows 10 was bad, but Windows 11 is worse. I want to go back to 7.

7 wasn't bad, but I loved XP Pro..lol

So for all of you in your 14th-floor apartments, you CAN get some fresh air for your giraffe (and hen) after all!

Great news, I'll let my giraffe-chicken know we can move to the city!

It's been my experience that MS "support" is a waste of time. I do a search using keywords describing my problem. That usually reveals a tech site with actual solutions.

Sweet Delft has 4 adorable babies. I think it's safe to say Riddick is a fertile rooster.

There was a 5th that died during hatching. I accidentally dropped it when taking it out of the nest and my dog ate it.

Not a shred of guilt in his furry body.

Her nests are opened up to the flock, and our molting matriarch Buffy was spending time with her this morning.

Not this, right?

It's been so long since I've bothered configure Windows 10 I can't remember this exact function.

Pleasantly rainy here, on the anniversary of a much more rainy, traumatic event, Hurricane Helene. Thoughts to anyone else who went through it. This week has brought up a lot of heavy feelings.

On a lighter note, I decided some waterers needed a scrub this morning. It didn't start raining until after I'd hauled the waterers all the way to the house. Not wanting to leave the birds without their favorite water stations, I braved the rain to carry the waterers back out, only to find them at new favorite water stations

They're usually too fancy to drink out of puddles. I guess the water just caught their eye this morning.

Mine prefer to drink rain unless I've let their waterers sit empty for a few hours because I knew it had rained lots and they'd have other water available. Obviously when that happens they all run past the wild water to greet me with desperate tales of how they're all dying of thirst.

It's not windows 10. It's 11. And it's not directly on your lock screen. It's click the thing on your lock screen and when you enter the pass code, it auto opens Bing, Chrome (or whichever terrible one your forced to use )with a new tab for info you don't care about, but as a search with a list of links you can click into...
