Today, after receiving a powered USB hub from Amazon.com.au I am resurrecting a slightly crippled Windows 10 on my Teclast X98 Air 3G tablet. I damaged its drivers by installing "optional updates" for drivers. The optional updates didn't work, and Microsoft did warn that they might not, so it...

A LINOVO P11 Pro Tablet arrived in the mail on Monday. I spent Time on Tuesday setting it up, copying files from the Teclast T30. On Wednesday I factory reset the T30 and started to set it up for my brother. His birthday is soon, so I said he can have the T30 as a gift. We do not exchange...

Here in Oz we have K-Mart, it is cheap as chips and makes good stuff - via its Chinese partners, no doubt. I bought an air fryer from them. Its brand is Anko. It cost very little ($39 AUD). It works very well, is quite easy to clean, and it makes tasty food!

Once upon a time, When computer technology shows were common. There was a work station maker called Apollo. And another named Sun. [Do you remember then?] Now there's CES. And "pee pebbles" are the technology of the day!

I ordered a Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook from Amazon. It isn't very expensive. It has 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. It has google support until June 2030. If it is still working and is still interesting to me after 2030 then it can take Linux for ARM. Do any people here have a Chromebook and use it?

The screen is bright, the track-pad works properly and reliably, the keyboard is good, and the touchscreen works like a charm. So I am inclined...

Just remember in winter, when climate change is under discussion, that you can proudly say A warmer world is a better world. :smirk:

Why do you need to "swipe right" to answer a phone call? Why not just have a green answer button and a red decline button? why do you need to swipe down to turn off? Why not just turn off after the power button is pressed for a while? Why not offer "sight impaired" and "dexterity impaired"...
