My decision to no longer use a smart phone continues to be validated as a good decision. (long explanation: I use a voice over IP service for text and calls on my laptop and desktop computers. I use a mobile hotspot to get mobile internet to my laptop when I am traveling. I do carry a de-googled Android Samsung Galaxy S5 phone as a backup device in case something happens to my laptop... but I rarely use it). #google #smartphone #degoogle #android View quoted note →

It is is Friday. Sunshine is warm. Air is cool, but not too cool. I am going to walk down the street to the local store and see if there any fresh cheese curds left. #fall #autumn #October

The Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G CPU did work in the ThinkCentre M75s Gen 2... but I had to do a BIOS update on the machine with the original Ryzen 5 CPU still in it. I also made sure to change the AMD Platform Secure Boot (PSB) feature to "Disabled" in the BIOS before putting the Ryzen 7 CPU in the machine. BIOS > Security > PSB is all the way at the bottom This hopefully will keep the ThinkCentre from Vendor Locking the CPU to Lenovo machines. #ryzen #lenovo #amd View quoted note →

Just bought some beef from a local farmer. Cash. #cash #privacy #health #cashfriday

Busy day. Got lots of work done. Picked up more computers to work on. I installed Linux on an HP Spectre laptop for an older couple. Laptop has an Intel i7 seventh generation processor, so just out of Microsoft's support range for Windows 11. #Linux
