OpenSim and Computer Reality(s) : Are you about to buy a new computer ? -and- Why Is Windows 10 such a Monumentally Really Bad Joke

By Avatar JayR Cela

     #1 It is still the most insecure Operating System in existence, and at the mercy of countless attacks by constant criminal and malicious attacks, unless you are on the subscription based Enterprise version and it is completely locked down by the Sys. Admin.

    #2 The Windows REGISTRY is, has been and will continue to be a JOKE until the end of time, a really bad idea, and a complete jumbled mess.

    #3 The Win 10 Up Date process, ( and God help you if you are unlucky enough to have the Win10 Home version installed ) The Cumulative updates are a monumental pain in the ass and the constant reboot annoyance after so many even small updates is bad joke at worst.

    Ok look, I am retired and have been repairing computers as a hobby for friends family and acquaintances for the past 20 years or so. You bring me a Desktop or Tower, I will fix it 9 out of 10 times, you bring me a non working Laptop, I will usually tell you to just throw it into the Recycle Bin and go buy another one, or take it to someone that specializes in fixing Laptops. Or give it to me and I will scrap out the Hard Drive and Memory Modules, other that that there is nothing to fix, unless you are a masochist and enjoy paying an expert bukoo bucks for a repair.

    My advice if you are considering buying a new computer, ask or make a new friend that is a Linux person and build your own desktop - tower, or just spend the extra money and buy a Mac.
