  • i’ve had more issues with forced updates from pc manufacturers–whether via their own update mechanism or through windows update, including bad bios updates that literally bricks a pc to the point a board swap is needed.

    windows ones almost always ‘install’ correctly… it’s often more a question ‘why tf do i want this shit?’

    the ‘automatic’ updates should strictly be security patches and critical non-security bug fixes. new and substantially-changed features should be optional or deferred to… ya know… the big updates each year called ‘feature updates’, and not rammed down users’ throats every month.



  • i just use developer edition, which defaults to its own profile, along side the release version. then when i need a third, i use a ‘portable’ one also with its own–which can easily be zipped-up for a backup to revert back to when i’m testing stuff out.

    this is, of course, on top of the several derivatives i have installed. i segregate browsers and profiles by use and in a couple cases by specific site or service.

    given that george is an english-speaking product of the american education system, his definition of ‘scandinavia’ would most likely be the same as ‘nordic countries’ and include finland, iceland, and the islands of the region and not just denmark, sweden, and norway.
