No video display after update will be a relentless theme over the next few months. You have already seen my post about Manjaro breaking with updates. Yes, had I paid attention, I could have “fixed” that from a terminal by un-installing the NVidia drivers. At least Linux has a generic driver that will let you use it as a video card. You just cannot use the GPU for things like BOINC. This is why you … Windows 10 – No Video Display After UpdateRead more

Starlink – We’ve Seen This Movie Before
Starlink is beating the same drum John Deere beat back in 2011 to cover-up the fact they used AGILE and produced a shit system. I can’t believe I’m writing about this again. I searched my blogs and cannot find my 2011 article. Must have been when I was still writing for Motley Fool. Yes, even I wrote for them at one point. Maybe the Motley Fool site still has the article? At any rate, you … Starlink – We’ve Seen This Movie BeforeRead more

VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found
I hate it when I have to touch anything Microsoft or running on Microsoft. VCRUNTIME140_1.dll is just the latest in the never ending battle with The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight. Today it was OnlyOffice that wanted to force an update on me. Software on Windows has the world’s worst habit of trying to force upgrades on you right when you are in the middle of doing something. I was literally four pages into a … VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not foundRead more

Beware DilyStore Fraud
I buy a lot on-line, almost never get screwed. Made the mistake of thinking DuckDuckGo vetted their shopping. Bought from dilystore.com; got Screwed. Complained to PayPal; got screwed. Involved the U.S. Post Office; got money back. The problem with people today is they all seem to think fixing things is someone else’s problem. Seriously. Complaining to sites like these https://www.esteponapress.com/is-dilystore-com-legit/https://de-reviews.com/dilystore/https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/dilystore-com-review/ Doesn’t put anyone from dilystore.com in prison. It also doesn’t get DilyStore removed from DuckDuckGo … Beware DilyStore FraudRead more

Beware GlassDoor Company Reviews
Some fools believe they can trust company reviews on Glassdoor.com because they are “vetted.” More fool you! Not long ago I was attempting to place this review for both IBM and Collabera. It’s a true and honest recanting of just how completely void of ethics both companies are. Demanding new-hire contractors break the law to work for you can’t be considered ethical under any circumstances. I posted basically that exact same text to Glassdoor. Not … Beware GlassDoor Company ReviewsRead more
