@dcreemer I’ll be there Sunday at noon. My favorite story is when we went there after the collapse of the #dotcom and the waiter said “You still have money to eat?”
Every time I get asked to help someone “fix their slow computer” I’m amazed at the variety of shit people install and forget about. But there’s one constant: f*cking #adobe#CreativeCloud sitting there chewing up RAM and disk. Typically installed (and still being paid for!) because the needed to fill out one PDF form once.
@EverydayMoggie I suspect it’s what a non-technical person is capable of in terms of computer “hygiene”. The last two cases happen to be 2017 iMacs with 8GB of RAM. The “slowness” was due to memory pressure from so many extra, generally unused or unknown (to the user) things needless running.
The good news is that some cleanup and less than $50 of more RAM can keeps these machines useful for another couple of years.
@Ricardus I do not. This was the built in Web view inside of of the "Toot!" iOS app, but running on my home network where I block lots of ad domains at the DNS level.
I dunno two major commercial aviation items in the news this week, and not one fatality (from the commercial aircraft). Imagine if we applied this same safety regime to just about anything else …
@dcreemer Ah, yes, that makes sense. That's where you see me poking around the bags of tea wondering why I am making tea out of whatever random stuff that is, LOL.
