Also you say you don't like the newer Microsoft operating systems all while using the worst of the versions that could be considered modern.

Meh. It's easy to navigate. That's all I care about. I don't do anything very system-intensive.

And windows 10 isn't?

My wife has it on hers and I think it's a pain to use. I hate that they replaced the start menu with that impossible monstrosity that covers your whole screen with colors and icons. I can't figure it out. Seems very unintuitive.

Are you thinking of Windows 8?

Maybe? We bought hers less than a year ago and it had the newest one.

Windows 10 doesn't have that horrible startup thing. Or it's hidden? Anyway, I hated Windows 8 because of it, so 10 was a big improvement for me. Even though I'm fairly certain you could disable that menu on 8 anyway.

Well that's good to know. Though I still don't imagine I'll be replacing my computer for at least a few years.

You're a bad American, LV

You're a bad American, LV

i am sorry, my money is finite

[tommymtcom]

What do you do with your money?

[LoathedVermin72]

What do you do with your money?

Right now? Save all of it for moving expenses.

I use this to get the Windows 7 start menu, which is my personal favorite, on Windows 10.

[Norah]

Also, yeah that's Windows 8 that has the start screen. Windows 10 has a weird hybrid between the classic start menu and the windows 8 tile screen. It's better than 8 but I still use classic shell to get the win7 menu.

Verm, if you're not worried about Vista, you shouldn't worry about Quicktime. It is strange that the government suggested it's removal, though. Maybe you should be worried?

Can you create a profile on your wife's win10 machine and use iTunes there? Inconvenient, yet more secure.

I recently bought an app called FlacTunes. If you use a Mac, download the app, then just drag and drop your flacs in the app, and it auto converts it to ALAC for Macs. It's great for when folks here on RM post FLACS of PJ treats. I think it was only $3, and I've already got my money's worth out of it.

Good lord

Wow. Fuck that.

I imagine it would fuck up my PJ bootleg collection royally. Glad I don't use that service.

[doone]

thanks for the heads up. That's crazy.

I can't imagine why anyone would use that service. Pay Apple to play my music? Fuck off.

It's too bad. I much prefer their phones to anything Android, but shit like this is disconcerting.

"Clout is the values-free currency of the always-online age — both a substitute for hard cash as well as a conduit to it. Clout is a calculus not of what you do, but of how much bulk you-ness there is in the world. You get clout by playing the victim. You get clout by victimizing others. This is something that is understood by the left and the right. If influence sways, clout squats, taking up space for its own sake."

I've been using Apple Music during the free trial period and have thoroughly been enjoying their playlists and the algorithms that choose them for me. This is pretty unforgiveable, though. I don't have that many files on my hard drive, but I think I'll switch back to Spotify on principle.
