  Trump's behaviour 'unacceptable'
Posted by: Lilith7 - 15-03-2025, 02:49 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

According to Greenland party leaders.   Can't say I blame them, Trump would do well to remember that they're descended from Viking people...

"We - all party leaders - cannot accept the repeated statements about annexation & control of Greenland."

In Win 11 Updates - Advanced Options, the facility to receive updates for other MS Products is greyed out with a message that the setting isn't available due to your organisations policies. How do I turn it on?

  NZ Housing "almost a trap"
Posted by: Lilith7 - 14-03-2025, 03:11 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (4)

Last year, this delightful govt in more of their 'slash & bash the poor' campaign, made it even more difficult to access emergency housing. This has worked so very well that a couple & their baby was using a hospital emergency waiting room to sleep in.

Is this still NZ? Dodgy

"We have people sleeping in cars & hospital emergency rooms & really unsafe places. They've been to MSD, & done the work they needed but still MSD are rejecting them."

  That gap just isn't big enough for greeders
Posted by: Lilith7 - 13-03-2025, 10:49 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (4)

This is getting beyond belief; apparently, working perople are getting Far Too Much Money to suit this govt & its friends. Blatant greed is deeply unattractive.
These people appear to intend to take us all back to a time of serfdom; they are a disgrace to humanity. Dodgy

Nicola Willis wants to axe around a third of 71 rules which agencies must follow when tendering  contracts, including paying thre living wage in cleaning, catering & security guard services.

It seems they'd prefer more homeless people; because given that people are struggling now on a low wage, this could mean that the choice between paying their too high rent & actually being able to eat will become even worse.   Angry Angry

We have to make this lot of conscience free greeders a one term govt.

  Microsoft has fouled out again.
Posted by: Bryan - 12-03-2025, 06:57 AM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (10)

Microsoft has fouled out again in my opinion. Maybe it is just my Asus Z490-V, i7 10700K that is the problem. Like a few others (see Eleven forum) I was unable to install the Cumulative update K5051987, it gave up at 38% install and reverted back. Today was release KB5053598. Exactly the same result. I am not as gifted as many computer gurus to delve into workarounds to correct major problems like this – I am more than slightly annoyed!

My only solution IMO is to replace a perfectly good mb if I want to keep up with Microsoft’s updates or just stay in the backwaters. But then, if I was to replace the board, what’s to say that I won’t have the same problems! Would an Asus Z590 (or a Gigabyte) be worth looking at, that way I can use the CPU and RAM from this rig.
