They did a update last night that renders some computers useless. I just spent 2 hours on friends Win10 computer trying to uninstall. Memory usage was so bad locked computer to unusable. Ended up going into safe mode to uninstall. I was able to remove on windows 7 machine that had enough memory without using safe mode.

Just curious, if you have all that stuff uninstalled, why do you require 32GB? Do you monitor your RAM use to know? I do here using a "gadget" which shows activity for each of 8 cores and my ram consumption. Most of the time I have about 5 programs running and the ram is between 6-10GB. With a couple video apps, especially with the more robust renderings running, I have seen as high as 22GB of my 24 in use. Normal video rendering projects with 2D editing renders can be done with 10GB in use.

When I buy a new computer, its for the long haul. I spend a ton of $$$ and max the specs out, and keep it for 5 years or more as my main computer, and then when I get a replacement that becomes my secondary computer for another 5 years. I always, always, always, configure a computer with the fastest consumer level Intel processor available at the time. I'll even hold off on buying a computer until Intel releases a new generation and I am more than willing to pay a premium for that. My current desktop from 2013 has a Core i7 Extreme hexacore at 3.6 GHz. Usually I stick to the best non-enthusiast CPUs, but in the case of the last computer, HP had an awesome deal on CTO Envy Phoenix computers so I went with the Extreme. The maximum amount of memory the motherboard would support was 32 GB so I took it.
What do I use all of that for? Nothing at first. I don't game, I couldn't edit a video or photo to save my life, I don't use CAD/CAM software. But for a few years now I have been heavily into spinning up virtual machines for fun, to play around with things I'd like to do at work, but would never do in a live environment and to learn. I can max out 32GB of RAM in minutes once I power up my Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller, Server 2016 Exchange VM, WIN 10 and WIN 7 Workstations and start playing. In addition to that I have a few Linux VMs that don't use much, I dedicated 2GB of RAM for those, my XP VM is 3 GB, and my MacOS VM which no longer works with the new version of VMWare was 6 GB.
This is what my my usage looks like with right now with 1 Chrome window open, with 4 tabs, Outlook with 5 mailboxes configured, two RDP sessions, VMWare with Server 2016 and WIN 7 loaded and updating, and I my weekly full Symantec scan just kicked off a few minutes ago.
As of December, Classic Shell is no longer being updated. According to a post on the website the developer no longer has time to develop the application. Like Winamp, I'll continue to use it forever.
I hate change, refuse to change, and am afraid of change. As soon as I installed Windows 7 and found out Microsoft removed the option for the classic start menu I immediately reformatted and went back to Vista. The Start Menu with simple cascading sub-menus is how I've always accessed applications in Windows since 95 and NT4 and I cannot stand anything else. I first discovered Classic Shell a couple months after it came out in early 2010 and then went back to Windows 7, and when 8 came out, I gave myself the Start Button back that everyone was complaining about. I never had a single problem with Classic Shell in the 8 years I've used it. I feel completely lost at work when am on other peoples computers. Not sure what you mean by not being as much like the old interface. Classic Shell is extremely customizable. If you don't want to use Classic Shell, you can always install it, remove all the metro apps you can, then uninstall it to go back to stock.
Below are my Start Menus with Classic Shell and stock Windows. No unwanted apps here.

HERE TO HELP YOU!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.
For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
