Same thing happened with my cat's name. I read the "Lord of The Rings" trilogy. I named him after the elf. When he was about 5 years old someone pointed out that the elf's name is not Leg-a-los. It's Legolas, or something like that. After something like 2,000 pages, I still got the name wrong...

Lenovo. Gee! Where did I get Leveno??? I literally just now realize I've been using the wrong name all this time. :confused:

My logical self says to keep it... on a very short leash... Right now I'm just sick of dealing with MS. I assumed that I might eventually being trying out other distros. I was literally discussing this last night with a tech geek. So yes, I definitely see myself upgrading to an SSD in the near...

I prefer standard transmissions. If the battery is dead, you can jump start it! I feel more connected, one with my vehicle with a manual transmission. The last car I bought was a Nissan Juke. Manual transmissions weren't available. As much as I LOVED that car, I'm glad it's gone. If I'd known...

How many times did you find yourself suddenly sharing intimate details with a total stranger?

We had a single adapter for the entire family. Invariably my brother would lose it. I never could get those 45's placed just right on the table.

The Nvidia card has it's own RAM. I don't have it connected right now because I broke that thingy. I'm not sure how much RAM it has. It has it's own processor.

Initially I'm going to put it on a laptop. If I need help I want to be able to reach out easily using the OS I'm already familiar with while having Linux in front of me. It's just the way I learn things. All the PC and software knowledge I have came primarily from reading books. I like to have...

I would argue that what they've done is make things easier for them to spy on us. That's exactly what they're doing and that's exactly why I don't want it. I have a personal preference. It wasn't all that long ago that they finally got people to move on from XP. Vista was a disaster! The...

I already got something smaller. I didn't like Win 10. If I had my way, I'd still be using Windows 7, or something like it, maybe. I know a lot more now about the games MS plays with people. It was the hijacking of computers and then the hoops I had to jump through to get Windows 7 on...

You know I hadn't thought about this... Earlier this year I got a message that MS was no longer supporting Win 8.1 and from that day on there would not be anymore security updates. I think there was limited time special offer to upgrade to 11. HELL NO! Months later, I was still getting...

So I can't cash them out? Dang!

How did I get them? How do I get more? How do I spend them? What are they good for? How much are they worth? Can I donate them? Can I sell them? Can I buy them? Can I invest them? Is this Crypto currency for Linux geeks? If so, mine are for sale. I lost my job last week but I still gotta'...

It's not Pac Man.

I don't partake in illegal activities. I just like my privacy. I do everything I can to avoid fingerprinting, market profiling, etc, etc. A google search of my name brings up zero information. A few other people with my same name, but not me personally. I'm not so ignorant as to believe...

I am very, very new to Linux, but I thought I'd throw this in if it should happen to be useful... In your browser settings, turn off HTTPS over DNS or disable HTTPS. If I don't disable this, I'll end up with a DNS leak. Cloudflare is always involved in my DNS leaks

It picks the fastest one for me. I've connected in the UK and Canada and not found any difference in speed. Oh yeah, access to stuff out of the US is another reason for the VPN.

OMG! I consider myself a pseudo spelling and grammar nazi! My aunt was an English professor. She would have a heart attack if she saw that!
