windows 10 will be officially dead by october 2025
Did you know Windows 10 was originally released July 29, 2015? At the time I write this, that was nine-and-a-half years ago. And if you didn't know, Microsoft's official end-of-support date for Win10 is October 14, 2025.
This does make me wonder if there will be a repeat of what happened to WinXP users when Win7 was released.
I don't own a car like this, but I'd like to because it speaks to my middle aged sensibilities now.
What is a personal luxury car? A two-door luxury sport coupe that has some size to it. There's the traditional four-door luxury sedan, but the luxury sport coupe is the smaller version of that and usually has more power to it.
Many moons ago back in the late 2000s, a Garmin nuvi was (and I would argue still is) the best thing to use for GPS navigation. However, I identified a problem. For certain locations, the destination was marked wrong. Sometimes what was supposed to be on the right side of the street was on the left. Or, sometimes the destination was marked in the middle of the road and not on either side of the street. Or, sometimes the destination would be way off.
If you're thinking, "Well, that was a long time ago and locations are marked much more accurately now." Wrong. Oh, so wrong. The same problem exists today and it's even worse than before.
During December 2024, I did not do well concerning what I ate. In fact, I ate a whole ton of garbage until very-early January 2025.
I made a New Year's Resolution to stop eating the garbage, and so far it has been going mostly well.
I do drink water, but in order for me to get past the taste, I have to "put my mind aside" for a moment, then chug it. The only time I don't have to do that is on really hot days where getting water in my system is more important than the taste of it.
The rest of the time, I've had to come up with inventive ways to add flavor. This is what I've tried:
If you want to know why so many people hate new cars so much, just look at the steering wheel.
Yeah, I am middle aged. Yeah, that means I have a bias towards older things because that's what I know best. But when it comes to cars, there's absolutely no question that the older stuff was much easier to deal with.
The older I get, the more I learn about stuff.
It didn't take long after 2025 began before I got my first cold of the year, and I have a standard list of things I do to make dealing with that easier. This is stuff I wish I knew when I was younger, but better late than never.
When I first started using PCs as a kid, there were only two portable storage formats. Tape (as in microcassette) and floppies (as in floppy diskettes). That was it. Tape was way too slow, so I used floppies, and I always hated them.
Today, 2024-Dec-31, is the last day of 2024. This year in particular involved emotional things that I've accepted.
I didn't ask for a cat in my life, but this one just happened to show up.
A few months back, some new neighbors moved into the house next to the one I live in. No big deal. A short while later, they got a cat. Okay. Some time passes, and the cat started exploring. Cat ends up on top of the wooden fence separating the properties. It's just there, not scared at all, and mew'ing. I go to pet the cat. It lets me, and eagerly.
