A preliminary review of this new computer

It's low rent as I said before- a Lenovo Miix 300 tablet.

The reason I am doing this "review" is to bitch a little.  It would seem that after all these years, these people could make a machine that does the basic things without fail.  This thing is a bit squirrelly.  Sometimes the mousepad is sensitive, and just brush it, and it does something.  Other times, you almost have to take hammer and tongs to it in order to get it to respond.

Also want to bitch about Microsoft and its operating system.  It would also seem that after all these years, these guys could get the way to keep the system updated that didn't interfere with your using the machine.  This thing takes way too much processor power and the machine becomes almost unusable.  I'm hoping that's all there is to this problem.  If it isn't, then I have already got some malware on it.

That's another thing.  The malware shouldn't even be there.  If the Microsoft people did their jobs, they'd make these guys give up out of frustration because the OS was bullet proof.  Obviously this new OS is definitely not bullet proof.

So much for the brief bitch session.  Supposedly, we are "progressing", but if this is progress, then I'm an astronaut.

Update:

There appears to be one compensating feature of this machine.  It has a touch screen.  That helps.  Don't want to be too negative.

A reason for the lite posting

There's more than one, and the computer was just one of those.  Now that the computer has been upgraded, I'm still not very productive.

Okay, what's the deal?

Part of it is that I am not up to par physically.  It doesn't take much to post, but at the moment, I am just not up to it.  Spent a night last night not feeling well, didn't get that much sleep, and slept during the day today.  Obviously, sleeping doesn't go with posting on a blog.

But, there's is even more than that.

I'm getting pretty disgusted with what I see out there.  Most of the time, in the recent past, when I didn't like what I saw, I would respond to it.  Not anymore.  Not interested in responding to everything out there.  This undoubtedly takes some material off the blog.

An example is just a few minutes ago, I scanned the news, and saw several anti Trump articles.  I am tempted to respond, but decided to not respond.  Screw it.  These people are the same people who influenced people to make the choices they made in the past.  If they succeed in getting Trump beaten at the polls, they just win again.  To me, if you don't like the way things are going, stop listening to these people, because they are part of the problem.

Trump ain't Hitler.  Trump ain't Caesar.  Trump isn't going to end America as we have known it.  If America is being destroyed, those doing the destruction don't need Trump's help.  They are dong fine on their own.

If there's a real concern about abuse of power, there's the ability to oppose Trump.  If that's not good enough, there's an Article V convention.  Evidently those who shout the loudest about Trump don't think an Article V is in order.  That should tell you something.

Well, I'll try to keep posting stuff.  But it does get tedious at times.  And at other times, I am not up to it anymore.

Sorry, but that's the way it is

Why Rubio won't win

Not evil enough.  He's the diet coke of evil.  He is quasi evil.  He needs to be more like mini-me.

Trump's mini me

Trying out the new computer

One thing to keep in mind:  this computer is like me, it lives in the low rent district.  It is pretty basic stuff here in this neck of the woods.

I note that Windows 10 is a bit different.  Can't say that I like or dislike it yet.  One thing I just noticed is that the touch pad is a bit sensitive.  Touch it inadvertently, and it will do something unexpected.  Reminds me of many devices these days.  Too doggone sensitive to everything.   Why do you suppose that is?  Maybe people like that, but I don't.

Don't have my bookmarks.  That could be a problem.  How to import these?  Will it import these?  Got to find an answer to that.

Okay, down to business of a check out/shakedown cruise.  At least it is a bit easier to use than the android.  That's not saying much, though.

Update:

It isn't too bad.  I give it a passing grade so far.

Update:

As for the bookmarks, I will do them manually.  Let's say that it can be organized better that way.

Socialism is not moral, it exists due to a lack of it

Just signed a new lease.  I will be here for another ten months.  Anybody who comes here should know how much I hated this.

Frankly, the thing I hate most is all the forms they have you sign.  You sign them so that they will have an excuse for charging you out the wazzoo as soon as you move out.

I was just thinking of how things like this hurt the cause of capitalism, and helps the cause of socialism.  Capitalism will not work in the absence of morality.  It eventually breaks down because in such a society where there is a lack of it, people do not treat each other with respect.  If morality is anything, it is how you treat your fellow man.  If an entire society becomes one in which everything has to end up in a court, then that society is not long for this world.  In short, a civilized society requires people to be civilized with each other.   The signed documents are not necessary for that, and in an uncivil society, the documents will not mean anything anyway.

I would say that it is a new development, but perhaps that would not be so.  All I know is that these documents get more and more plentiful each year.  Something tells me that this is not a good sign.

Why Trump will win

Not so sure that he will at this point, because they are all lining up against him

This dude here says why he think Trump will win.

Foul language alert.  If bad language bothers you, then do not click on the link.

Obligatory, 3.6.16

These are not productive days, neither in terms of blogging, nor in terms of getting much done at all.

I need to get it in gear, and quick.

At least a new computer will be available soon.  I have a desktop that works, but I do not like to sit in hard seat for long.  My posterior will complain most loudly.

The new computer will be a windows 10 machine, a tablet with a keyboard.  It will be a little like this android, but presumably not as hard to use.  Hopefully, I can do more posting.

I need to get back to work, aching back or not.  The Uber thing will have to be the means of support for now.  That does not cheer me much.

The move out west has definitely got to wait.  Maybe for another year and a half.

I could move out to ELP after I get my checks.

All of that type of thinking depends on me staying healthy, which seems to be a problem lately.  Long term planning is a bit tentative.

One could feel a bit discouraged.  Like Eyegor said in the movie "Young Frankenstein"--- "it could be worse, it could be raining."  Then it starts raining real hard.  Lol.  Or, as one world leader once said:  it gets darkest just before it goes pitch black.
