So my renewal to Eset Internet Security has come up and the only option to renew is for the EIS, whereas I want to go back to the antivirus only.
How do I do that? Apply for a new one?

Sorely missed...

B*gger - McPhail!

Casey Costello denied that it existed. Now, she's released it but with parts redacted.


Perhaps its time to put an end to lobby groups.

This is why social media is so fucked up

Quote:Rage-baiting, or rage-farming, has a new wave of content creators and social media influencers not only inciting rage online - but profiting off viewers' anger too.
At its core, rage-baiting is a manipulative tactic used by content creators to elicit outrage from their viewers. The idea is that if you're angry, you're more likely to comment, share, react, and ultimately increase the online engagement of that video, which helps content creators drive more traffic to their channels and earn more revenue.

Suddenly tonight I can't get on any news sites,
Stuff.co.nz
BBC.com
Etc and other sites too.

This is using Firefox on win11 and edge as well as Firefox mobile on my phone.

Anyone else struck this tonight?

I even tried turning off unlock to no avail.

Certain to please some of their ill informed supporters, the 'crackdown' is already getting it badly wrong.

A woman unable to work for health reasons was told to supply an up to date CV...

A former public servant had their benefit cut after one missed appointment. You do have to wonder why it is that the benefit can be cut immediately (in stages - & that after contact from thre person) without a problem but takes weeks to reinstate - it looks very like palin old nastiness

This is a follow on from my previous post "USB won't show content".

I posed my problem on elevenforum. It was suggested that I probably had a corrupt user account, create a new user account and see if that worked. I have another user account set up on this PC for my wife. Using that I am able to see the USB content as soon as I attach the USB. 

So, how do I rebuild my user account?

Some time ago I converted two Acer Chromebook 317's to Linux Mint, then to MX-23.3. They work well but tended to overheat.
 I have now discovered "BookwormPup64 10.0.5". It is Debian 12 built on Puppy Linux. Is seriously fast, stable, runs at an average of 30c, supports JasperLake audio. It is 1.8GB installed. No problem installing it, except that I had to set up the SSD manually because it put Grub in the wrong place. Another small problem was that the keyboard lighting was off. I booted it on a Mint Cinnamon USB, turned the lighting on.
