    Fucking hell.

    I’m so ready to change from my Mac, but I’m pretty locked in (photos etc) so it would take me a week to get everything sorted again.

    All of these updates make my computer worse nowadays. It’s fucking terrible how much that company has gone to the dogs.

    I've just started a new job that only has PCs - I want to throw the fucking thing out the window. Forever updating, and I mean forever updating, and despite being a new machine running Windows 10 it has hissy fits when I have too many PDFs and Word docs open. Plus, I'm used to Word on a Mac now so it just annoys me on PC. 😉

    Can you translate that into understandable English?

    That’s not normal, just FYI.

    I thought it was, because one of my work mates from my previous job just started a new job where they have PCs and the same thing happened with her so I just assumed it was a thing.

    The updates thing, maybe. But even then only if your IT takes everything as it comes.

    Microsoft in the past few years has actually got its act together.

    Not really a tech question but tech related.
    Anyone know about selling an Instagram handle?
    Years ago I set up one with my username on here which I forgot about. I have people emailing me wanting to buy it. Someone has been trying to get into it for a while and has even emailed me my password to show they have cracked it but can’t access because they can’t get the verification codes.
    Obviously I have changed the password but would consider selling as I don’t even use it.
    I had a look at who is following the empty account and the vast majority fall into either trying to follow a US sauce company or the memory component company. The possible buyer could be someone else entirely but I am interested in ideas on how to play this
    Ferner advice welcome

    I suppose this is as good a place as any:

    And the cure is becoming worse than the disease for many,

    Microsoft patches Windows to cool off Intel's Meltdown – wait, antivirus? Slow your roll
    especially if you're in an opposite timezone to your hosting provider or they indiscriminately decide to progress:

    @antipodean Yeah, this is a colossal fuck up from Intel.

    Not looking forward to my computer running 5% slower.
