everything is linux-unix based. 'cept for 1 or 2 MS os.
embedded devices with Linux running out of a ROM, is hardly a PC with 4MB of RAM, you clueless little Indian call boys
Not having had a Mac I was told that there is very little that you can get for free. I have windows 7 laptop in Bris and a Lenovo all in one in my thai office on windows 10. the laptop is about 7 years old and no real problems. I have a lot of freeware on mine including bitdefender AV. malwarebytes and glary utilities. Have had a couple of viruses but have been able to fix it myself and i'm no i.t. geek. Dont know if there is any privacy issues with Mac. Maybe someone in the know can post.
There is very little that an average computer user would need to purchase outside of whats packaged. Pages & NTFS for Mac are just about the only ones I need.Quote:

The user and their mouse clicks are the first safeguard against problems - there isn't an AV that can safeguard users from themselves.Quote:

Anyway I'm not entirely sure how you can state such a thing. The end user is always the target. PC is the biggest target.
because it is realityQuote:

The 1TB harddisk (HGST Made in China) got replaced by the WD Blue 1TB SSD SATA which was the data device in the old laptop.
I've partioned the 500GB NVMe as four 120GB partitions for Windows and three linux distros.
Tried Win7 first but it crashes with a BSOD, looks like it doesn't like the NVMe but Win10 works so that it will be.
Ubuntu works but Arch linux couldn't complete the installation, next to try is Debian.
with the i/o speed of NVMe and ssd it is the CPU/software which now becomes the bottleneck
an M.2 x4 slot is very desirable on any new mobo - desktop or laptop
I recently replaced my MacBook Air battery, it was losing power too quickly and exhausted itself in under two hours, and although it seemed to do the trick I find that it is again losing power too quickly and the battery icon is now displaying the exhortation to " service battery ". Is this a common fault and does it mean the power board is fucking up - it is now four years old and until recently hasn't missed a beat. The upgrade to Mojave is not the issue since the fault developed before it was released.
Incidentally, the new Mac Mini looks a good buy and has more power although I have to say it is probably redundant for most folk.
I am sure most people would be exhausted in well under two hours of having to put up with you so I see no reason why you should complain. In fact, a few months without you having access to a computer or tablet of any sort would benefit all members here.
If you want a birthday present you are defo going to like the best thing to do is buy it yourself so I got an Asus Vivobook S14 S046AU
CoffeeLake I7 8th Gen 4 cores 8 threads (the first laptop processor from Intel to have 4 cores)
500 GB SSD
16 Gb RAM
14 inch FHD 1080p
1.2 Kg

Keyboard is a bit shit after my Lenovo but it goes like greased shit up a drainpipe at running multiple VMs and building database servers.
it should be obvious that your lower sonic maintenance assembly module has short circuited, resulting in an implosion in the backup lithium particle battery plate, this is because your tertiary resonance brexotic array has overloaded, causing total shutdown in the tertiary dystopian hyperbolic proton array.Quote:

if i were you i would get rid of that macbook thingy, look around you, they are for people with more money than sense, and get a chromebook, or an android device.
You could try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
I've heard this can sometimes fix your type of problem.

Thanks for that Tizme, I shall do this.
Hello,
I second that. I have been using Mac since a long time and being an active mac user, I also recommend you to purchase a mac book air. It has an astonishing quality and now they have provided a light weight alternative to windows alternative. It also has a thin aluminum case which is quite appealing. However, I haven't faced any issue up til now and it's works perfectly fine. You must go for it. :)
