Red Mosquito

Upgraded my daughter's machine yesterday without a hitch.

The only bad thing I have noticed so far is that it appears to be a bit more power hungry than both Windows 7 and 8. I lost almost an hour of battery life on my daughter's ultrabook and about 30 minutes on my machine.

It could all be in my head but I feel like the fan in my laptop kicks into high gear more often. Not so much that I'm worried, but it's noticeable.

It hasn't happened since I posted that. It was all in my head.

One of the guys smuggled a smart phone inside is ass. It smells like shit. Plus I had to roll smokes for 3 days, and blow 2 guys to use it.

I'm still undecided on whether it was worth it.

I have to say I'm impressed on the smuggling job the guy did, it's a Samsung Note 4.

its good that you wasted valuable battery life on RM.

I ended up doing this for my home PC. I really only surf and listen to tunes on it, so I don't see a big difference. It's just new a look, so far.

Rolled back to 7 because I kept losing my ethernet adapter. Slight reduction in performance, too. There's gonna have to be some really good stuff to make me go back again.

I have faced it,...
I escaped it...

i thought about trying this but I kind of hate microsoft anymore. everything they upgrade is terrible.

that's from ten?

I really like it except for 2 issues

1. Chrome slowed way the fuck down. I reinstalled and everything seems to be okay
2. The touchpad CONSTANTLY wants to zoom, no matter how many times I turn it off.


This operating system is really pissing me off.

Get a mouse, weirdo.

The zoom thing is bothersome. It's happening to me because I keep accidentally using the touchpad while holdoing ctrl, which is what makes it zoom. For examply, if I want to search text within a page I hit ctrl+f, but sometimes on my way to hit the f my thumb drags across the touchpad for a second and zooms in or out. Annoying.

I think its more of a pinch zoom thing, and if my finger is even off the button part and on the pad it reads both fingers and trying to pinch zoom the screen. It's driving me crazy.

I prefer their earlier stuff too, Mary.

Went back to 8 because the chrome problem kept re-occurring.

i upgraded, and now every time my computer comes out of hibernation mode it shuts down. oh, and the touchpad doesn't work at all now.

i hate windows so much.
