  Which desktop should I use?
Posted by: Bryan - 15-01-2024, 12:28 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (2)

I have two desktops and would like opinions as to which is best for my needs.

My main PC is an Asus Maximus VIII Nero Z170. It has an i7 6700k CPU and a Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970 GPU. The PC also has a Samsung NVMe M.2 500G SSD. All are in an Antec P280 case and all work perfectly. Running W11 Pro.

My second setup is much newer, A Gigabyte B460M d3h, i7 10700K but no GPU. The C: drive is a Samsung 850 SSD. Running W11 Pro.

I do not game, using the PCs' to correspond and keep household spreadsheets and the like, also minor video editing. 

I think I need to have someone with experience to tell me to continue with the Z170 and to stop thinking an old man's foolish thoughts. Just use the Giga as a backup and if necessary, a test machine.

  How to stop Co Pilot in Windows-10 22H2
Posted by: Still PeterEsp - 14-01-2024, 03:08 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (5)

On my 19045-3803 build I have 'disabled' Co Pilot via Group Policy Editor >Admin Templates>Win Components>Win Co Pilot.  Brilliant!

On my other Pc with the same build, Co Pilot appears to have taken over the computer.  As soon as I key in Administrative Templates in the search box the screen is filled with multiple templates that appear to be internet search options, and not related to the workings of my PC.

I understand Co Pilot can't be uninstalled. I do not want or need this Co Pilot.  How can I stop it interfering with my needs?

Please help me.

I use Zorin OS 16 on one of my systems for SDR usage.
I installed the edge browser because I prefer it and can sync it to my other systems.

Question:
How can I avoid having to enter my password every time I start edge.

  Ardern/Gayford wedding

Not something I'm interested in usually but the fact that protesters  have some need to protest about their imagined covid CT nonsense on someone's wedding day says everything about the type of people they are - idiotic,gullible & deeply despicable. Dodgy

Sounds like they are only against it because it is producing fertilizer.

Don't think they have any power to stop what gets launched outside of NZ
In theory we are all stardust anyway, including the moon.

  nanoplastics in bottled water
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 12-01-2024, 11:03 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (4)

And they say to use tap water.
Well the council replaced our asbestos pipes with plastic ones, so we are now getting plastic in our tap water.
Apparently there are no known health issues ingesting asbestos fires, but I probably would feel better about plastic than asbestos!

Microplastics are everywhere, not too sure how to get away from it.

And they call themselves climate activists?

They will go after horse and cart because of methane next.
