Feeling bogged down by Windows 11's constant updates, high hardware demands, and resource-hungry features? If you’ve ever fantasized about reclaiming control of your PC’s performance, privacy, and functionality without the usual Microsoft baggage, it may be time to explore MX Linux 23.5. Yes...

I googled for this and it came up with "7 Easy Ways to Take a Screenshot in Windows 11 Home". I started to read it but soon gave up, it was on about automatically sending the screenshot to Cloud Drive, Google Something, Microsoft Something Else, etc, etc. In Windows 10 Home I would simply get...

I've always liked peanuts, but I've just discovered a new sensation for me...peanut flour. I originally bought some for baking purposes, but soon discovered ways to use it that I really love not only for taste, but simplicity. Just sprinkle a spoonful over cereal, especially Shredded Wheat or...

Y'all are making far too big a deal over the Start screen. I used the DP for months; now the Beta non-stop since 29/2. Hardly ever visit Start. The lack of the old Start Menu & Windows orb is completely meaningless. The OS works just fine, as is. Between the following, there is noise & a...

Getting in shape is a problem that a lot of Americans (and other fat people) have. It’s tough, and it requires work. Lots of work. Crash diets don’t work, but is there anything out there that’s easy that does work? As it turns out, there are some easy ways to look better in that swimsuit (for...
