You need software that ONLY runs in Windows? Just UPGRADE to Linux, 100% stable, plays games, office software, accounting software, graphics software, encoding software... Everything you have in Windows it's just FREE and faster.OK lets start with the new joke Windows 11. :)1. Just as slow as Windows 10.2. Memory speed slower then Windows 8 (not 8.1), slower then Linux.3. Hard drive speeds slower then Windows 8 (not 8.1), slower then Linux.4. Horrible un-useable start menu made for morons.5. Still has forced updates that mess up everything, still limited hours on when you can use YOUR computer.6. Still locks out everything but the newest hardware.7. Still SUPER HORRIBLE graphics. I swear switching between Linux & Windows windows colors, lighting, graphics are HORRIBLE. I can't stand looking at the Windows desktop. Still just as dam UGLY in Windows 11.8. Random micro freezes YEP STILL THERE.

  HARLEY-DAVIDSON SPORTSTER S aka Custom 1250

And we have the birth of the VROD - VRSC V-Twin-Racing-Street-Custom. Then all the different models, Muscle, Night Rod, Street Rod, Destroyer... Then they drop the line and return to the standard ever so SLOW Harley motors and just keep raising the cubic inches, but still no HP.Then they jump back to the Revolution Motor with the Revolution 2 a better motor then the VROD's. Higher compression (VROD 11.3:1 REV2 13:1) more HP VROD 120-140 REV2 150 HP and they put it in a dirt bike (Pan American)!Now they put the Revolution 2 it in a street bike!And just like always they blow it :( they lower the HP to 120 and put it in a Sportster! So it may or may not be faster then a VROD depending on the VROD model. It has pipes that will be right on your butt while riding, it has a THREE GALLON GAS TANK. I can almost deal with the ugly engine for the speed. But 3 gallon tank, tiny sportster and $14,999 price tag and one...    less

  Server and Website Connection Differences

  First I'll start with Server connections.When you have a...  moreFirst I'll start with Server connections.When you have a personal Server you can set it up to access it from anywhere in the world. But if you have internet problems very slight problems you will get disconnected. Work or business Servers do not work the same as a website server. I will try to explain both.In this picture you can see the "Server" "Location #1" any of the computer in location #1 will NEVER be disconnected from the server. Even if you had no internet the connection to the server always works, because you would always be directly connected on the local network.If the server loses connection to the internet then location #2, #3 and #4 would all lose connection to the server. Only computers in location #1 would stay connected.As in the picture the server and location #1, #3 and #4 are working, location #2 would be dis-connected from the server because of the disconnect or to many packet losses from the ISP internet connection.If you think the server is having problem check other locations...    less

  Computer Ports - Desktop - Laptop - Tablets

You end up with nothing showing on your monitor, unless your bios is set to "Auto Select Graphics Device or Port"So hopefully these pictures will help people. Lets start with common desktops rear ports.Now desktop video ports. If you have both backplate ports and a VIDEO CARD you ALWAYS plug your monitor or monitors into the video card.On to laptop ports these can get confusing there are many. And every new model comes up with new ones.Some are standard and normal colors, but I have seen laptops with black USB 3.0 ports, black or blue USB-C ports. On the mic and headphones or speaker ports you can normally see a very tiny symbol of a micor headphones. Before people got so strange they were pink and green. Then people startedusing their laptops as a fashion statement. LOLIn this last picture you see USB-C which is basically used to connect or charge your mobile phone.That...    less

And nope I did NOT LIKE IT AT ALL so I tried many thingsto change it over and over. Most just left me repairing my grub boot loader to make the system boot again. :(Then I came across this little script written by this guy https://github.com/thiggy01 "THANK YOU"And worked perfectly with a few edits and making my login / lock screen fit my monitors.If you have only one monitor no problem any picture that is the same size as your screen will work.if you have two or more monitors it will stretch that picture across all the screens and that will look...    less
