ublock origin and adblock plus do the same thing and can be configured to use the same filter lists.

pick one or the other (tip: choose ubo) for in the browser.

all the more reason to use an adblocker... and a script blocker if you don't mind the extra clicks to get a whitelist going or to temporarily allow them somewhere.

biden stammers twice, but otherwise is impeccable.

cnn lobs nothing but softballs to the orange one. still screws 'em up, goes off on tangents, spouts nothing but lies, rages about everything. declared the 'winner'.

'optimizations' and fixes targeting specific games that nvidia does are in the drivers themselves.

what geforce experience does is mess with game config files--and it really isn't that great at it, either.

gfe is basically just a data gathering and marketing tool. i've never seen a point or purpose for the user. it benefits them far more than you, and can mess up your own game settings.

leave it uninstalled.

there's also a fair number of students and graduates from certain countries or related to certain peoples that he might want to help in exchange for who-knows-what.

the one thing that is certain, is he isn't proposing it for the benefit of 'immigrants' or 'foreign students' or even for the betterment of america.. but rather, for himself. it's always about him.

the local theater (we had one in our town) kept star wars playing (and only star wars) for a year. it wasn't until around grease and jaws2 that they played anything else.

same thing happened for the other two films of what became the original trilogy.

basically turned me off to the whole 'franchise'. all the films star wars kept from me as a small town kid by being on eternal repeat in the only theater accessible to me at the time.

i did see the original first three films--one time each, the first week of their initial runs.

but none since.

we've had clients have their dell systems bricked from bios updates. it's not just hp.

at least dell (reluctantly) offered free repairs, even out of warranty, on those models at the time. 'repair' being motherboard swap plus shipping both ways if not covered by an onsite warranty plan.

i still have one of those 'repaired' systems here. user gave it to us years after it got fixed. it just sat, unused, once they got it back as they bought a new one due to the lengthy turnaround they were quoted.

Miller is running as an independent because, she says, “I belong to Jesus Christ.”

good. split the right-wing vote.

win 11 adoption must be pretty bad if they have to do their new features beta testing on win 10 (which should be on a security updates/show-stopper bugfix only policy by now) instead.

sure sounds like he's sending a 'message' to the cult here of what to do if he actually gets locked-up.

i worked on a pc used by an older, very "conservative" woman awhile back. needed help with her facebook accounts (plural), among other things. she had vpn clients, multiple browsers. tor, the whole bit on there.

it would be one thing if she was just passing tracts, but she was all-in on the fake news, trump, anti-vax, the border, jan 6 and 'the steal'.. basically the whole far-right agenda. and she was spreading that manure far and wide.

the kicker: she's an employee of a local catholic parish.
