I used OpenOffice for years, before I discovered LibreOffice.  LibreOffice branched off from OpenOffice a few years back and provides what I consider to be a more refined experience.   You may ...

Now you know someone who likes Teams.

For my home, I've purchased a few HP class workstations from PC Server and Parts. https://pcserverandparts.com/refurbished-workstations/refurbished-hp-workstations/ They are workstation class, so ...

Whoops!  I thought the Win7 to Win10 seemed a bit odd.

Similar to Robert's suggestion, you could put the old drive in the new machine (or clone to a bigger drive).  It's pretty impressive how good Windows is at updating drivers and such.  Those it ...

Everyone listens differently. I heard a clear difference when I went from motherboard audio to a "cheap" FiiO Amp/Dac combo. I heard a clear difference when I went from the FiiO to an OL/O2 setup.  ...

I would encourage you to read the Terms of Service.  I specifically downloaded the LLM under Ollama so there would be no ToS and no connectivity to the Peoples Republic of China.

OK, it's an anecdotal test, but... I just downloaded DeepSeek-r1 and ran it under Ollama. A fairly common AI test is to ask a question like the one below? The answer is either five or seven, ...

Intel vs AMD is like Ford vs Chevy or Pepsi vs Coke.  They both get the job done.  Intel with their combination of performance cores and efficiency cores makes doing comparisons more difficult. His ...

The install is a relatively quick process. I'd just do a fresh install on each. That way you mitigate potential issues down the road. If these are managed machines, cloning risks the possibility ...

Simplicity is the reason.  Nothing more.

Except they don't have too.  The x86 architecture allows for four security rings.  Far too many OS's, Windows included, only take advantage of two of those rings (0 and 3).  This approach means ...

8 was terrible.  Lots of compatibility and stability issues.  They address much of it in 8.1, but the damage was already done.  Also the UI was just a bad choice.

I used a Chromebook for casual computing.  Four years later, Google stopped releasing updates for it.  Chromebooks have a much shorter update span than Windows.  It's rather sad.

I'm grumpy enough to still be bothered by Microsoft's claim that Win10 will be the last major version of Windows. Nothing but gradual 'H' updates for the rest of time. Here were are, seven years ...

I like their privacy policy:

Stockholders. When they choose to lie like that, I choose to look elsewhere.  Too bad, it's was a good product.

That's fair.  You use tools and common sense, but at some point your luck may run out.  If a company generally does the right things, but a breach happens anyway, sure we can point the finger of ...

Yes, mine was also exposed and it doesn't change my position.  If we're victim blaming, than it's my fault my SSN was exposed. Security vs productivity (staying in business) is a balance.  There ...

Let's stop blaming victims.  It's the creators of this malware that are the problem.
