First thought was, you don’t need to update an Azure. Second thought was tech people really aren’t good at coming up with unique names.

I have a package that has been less than 50 miles away from me for 5 days now. I live at the north end of DFW (Denton) and the package has bounced back and forth between Dallas and Fort Worth 3 times now. One time it made it up to Denton, then went back to Fort Worth. The latest update is it spent 27 hours traveling between Fort Worth back to Denton a 40 mile drive.

I worked at a pizza buffet back in high school. There was a guy who would come in from time to time and eat 6 whole pizzas. He would wait for us to put a fresh pepperoni out then just dump the entire thing on his plate.

I started using Crunchbang because it was so lightweight and ran great on Virtual Box on Windows 7. I stopped using it, when they stopped developing it. I wasn’t aware of ++. I will be installing it this evening.

Microsoft in 1995: Let’s put the start button at the lower left. So people can always find it.

Microsoft in 2012: Start button is gone, but you can still click the lower left, like you have been for 17 years.

Microsoft in 2013: Fine have your button back since everyone is so used to clicking on it.

Microsoft in 2021: Let’s make the start button move around every time you open and close anything.

Not anymore. The last version of Windows 11 I installed on bare metal did not allow the trick when you just turn off the WiFi. I had to Shift+F10 to get to the command prompt, enter “oobe\bypassnro”, then reboot before it would allow a local account.
