the overheating

(first, read this... and read this too, and yes, this too, also, even)... meanwhile, while i watch the overheating on the field on a regular basis because so many people do not seem to understand the dangers of heat exhaustion and how to avoid it, in this case, i am referring to the laptop... the overheating is getting worse even with the external fan on high... the dust inside obviously needs to be cleaned out, but it's also simply getting too old on every level... windows vista is a mess preventing me from doing a lot of things i'd like to do... it is time to explore a new laptop with windows 10 on it... and shopping i did this week tell me i probably have to settle for software bloat and pay more for extra memory to deal with that software bloat... in the ultrabook range, dell finally has a competitive machine that makes better sense for me than the mac ultrabook... it'll mean getting used to a 13 inche screen again, which may be a challenge though it may simply motivate me to set up a couple of the 24 inch monitors i have to plug in when i am sitting home and using the laptop... i can even hook up the big tv since it is that smart, aye?... don't be so lazy, ya know?...

(really, really), i have not compared the heavier bulkier laptops (like the 15 incher i am using) yet because the ultrabook just seems so right and the cost of laptops seems to have increased dramatically, just as the cost of phones have, that the 15s and bigger are ridiculously higher than they were when i bought this one and the parts have not improved since then (still using the same chips and cards as a few years ago... planned obsolescence at it's best)... which is obviously corporate greed as rising tech costs is counter-intuitive... people don't even notice the change it seems and are just standing in line to spend more for less... slaves have little choice...

(lost?... really?... what?... hm), well kaspersky still doesn't help, burning the cpu and hard drive whenever it feels like it instead of when i schedule it to run... the current laptop market is dominated by a ridiculously poor product, but that is the industry standard... alas, even with all the dummying down microsoft continues to push down our throats, the machine is still not as user friendly as it could and should be...

narf...

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
