mongo said...: I want to bring up something mentioned briefly in last night’s open thread. Microsoft ends support for Windows 11 next month. Should those of us using that operating system care? Do we need to buy a new computer if the old one can’t run Windows 12?; 9/7/25, 6:57 PM

RFK didn't link Tylenol with autism.

The dean of Harvard's School of Public Health did.

R C Belaire said...: "Microsoft ends support for Windows 11 next month" It's actually ending for Windows 10. Win 10 will continue to work but won't get any regular bug fixes or security updates.; 9/7/25, 7:47 PM

Who dat in the underbrush? Another dawn-lover or just one of the local unhoused individuals? I suppose they could be both.; 9/7/25, 7:56 PM

RCOCEAN II said...: Just saw Darling (1965) with Julie Christie and Dirk Bogarte. BW. Good: Christie often looks beautiful. Some good satire and witty language. Nice supporting cast. Bad: Too long at 2 hours. Could have been cut by 30 minutes. Christie often looks odd (depends on camera angle). Slight story.

An Oscar winner for the screenwriter Raphael, and Christie. The "daring" "edgy" sex and acceptance of Homosexuality and Abortion no longer carry any zing, and what shocked titillated then, no longer does. We do get some sex scenes but its not explicit. i think we see the men with their shirts off, and Christie in a nightie but thats about it.

And although there are some well done scenes, and lots of witty dialogue. There's not much else. Even wit and cleverness gets tiresome after a while, and the direction often seems sluggish. One of those films that are best on DVD so you can skip around.; 9/7/25, 8:04 PM

RCOCEAN II said...: BTW, you can look at the academy awards for 1965, and see the voters and Academy were getting way out of touch. Two of the Best picture nominees? Ship of fools and A thousand clowns!

Mediocre Shelly Winters won for "A patch of blue" while dull Martin balsam won for "A thousand clowns". Incredible. But that's nothing compared to Lee Marvin edging out Larry Olivier and Richard Burton for best actor. Man, all those academy award votes must have been high on something!; 9/7/25, 8:11 PM
gadfly said...: Mongo:
Windows 11 support doesn't end next month but Windows 10 support does. Ending support means no more updates, so you computer will continue to operate. on Windows 10 if that is where you are, which is unlikely since Miscrosoft has had to have been bugging you to upgrade for free to Windows 11.

Windows 12 has not yet been released to the public.; 9/7/25, 8:12 PM
Kakistocracy said...: All of Trump’s Tacky and Trollish White House Renovations ~ The New Yorker

Paving over the Rose Garden and gaudily embellishing the Oval Office make Trump look desperate.

Like a tacky baroque sun king, but as the saying goes, first time round its a tragedy, second time its a farce.

He will always be the outer borough boy shunned for his vulgarity and lack of charm.; 9/7/25, 8:14 PM

Lazarus said...: Everything in history repeats, or at least rhymes (at this point, isn't the new cliche as tired as the old?). Sometimes it's easy to know when something happens for the first time or the second: Napoleon I and Napoleon III or Jack Kennedy and Ted Kennedy (or Jack Schlossberg). Much of the time it isn't. Trump as a repeat of Louis XIV is quite a stretch. And sometimes, it's the original that's the farce and the repeat that's the tragedy (or success). Random quotes from Marx aren't the best basis for an argument or analysis.; 9/7/25, 9:13 PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...: Original Mike said...

Edge uses the Chromium web browser as a base like Google Chrome does. Chromium is supposed to be Open Source and not send data back to Google, but very few people believe that is 100% true since the browser was originally developed at Google. Edge/Brave/Opera/Vivalid all use Chromium as a base. If you're really wanting to get away from Google you best bet is to use either Safari or Firefox.; 9/7/25, 9:15 PM
Valentine Smith said...: Khakis racy: you finally got it! Trump is a working class guy from Queens! And that’s why he is so loved.; 9/7/25, 9:17 PM
Political Junkie said...: kak at 814 - Sad. Pull some more money out of the trust fund account and double up on medication and psychiatrist sessions.; 9/7/25, 9:23 PM
Lazarus said...: Burton was in his spy film "The Spy who Came in from the Cold." Olivier was in black face for "Othello." The year before Burton lost out to (ugh) Rex Harrison.

Hollywood was going through a transition in the late 1960s. Young people and outsiders were doing creative things, but the awards were still controlled by old Hollywood. Thus the famous result a few years later when the Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde lost out to In the Heat of the Night.; 9/7/25, 9:26 PM
Political Junkie said...: Over on RCP there is an article about how the strike on Venezuela drug runner boat is reestablishing the Monroe Doctrine.
That is what I voted for.; 9/7/25, 9:27 PM
Original Mike said...: "If you're really wanting to get away from Google you best bet is to use either Safari or Firefox."

As it happens, I am transitioning from Microsoft to Apple; depopulating my Windows 10 computer and moving everything to a Mac.

I am surprised that Brave has Google ancestry.; 9/7/25, 9:39 PM
Mason G said...: Question asked elsewhere on the intertubes:

BTW, why are the same people who castigated us for not paying an entry level hamburger flipper a living wage (to support a family of 4) now saying our economy can't survive unless we have people willing to work for a fraction of what that hamburger flipper makes?

It would be interesting to hear an actual answer to that question from "the same people" but I won't be holding my breath waiting for one.; 9/7/25, 9:44 PM

Not our sort, deah, don'tyouknow.

My goodness. Kak. "Desperate"? Marble tiles so women's heels don't sink into the turf are a mark of "desperation"?; 9/7/25, 9:46 PM
Mason G said...: "My goodness. Kak."

Clearly, he prefers presidents with more class. You know- like the kind that shower with their daughters or get bjs from interns in the Oval Office.; 9/7/25, 9:50 PM

Consider Linux (I use the Mint version). Get an old laptop to experiment.; 9/7/25, 10:12 PM
Jim at said...: Paving over the Rose Garden

He didn't pave over a damn thing. An area that was prone to flooding is now actually usable space.

What the fuck is wrong with you?; 9/7/25, 10:16 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Caddyshack covered this over 45 years ago- Kakabich is played by Ted Knight and Trump is played by Rodney Dangerfield.; 9/7/25, 10:17 PM
Yancey Ward said...: What happened to Kakabich is easy to explain- he spent two years proclaiming with great authority, first, that Trump would end up in prison and could never win the nomination again; and then, when Trump didn't end up prison and won the nomination in a rout, spent almost half a year predicting that Trump couldn't beat Biden and then spent the rest of last Fall predicting that Trump couldn't beat Harris. I mean, seriously, Dingabat was almost his sock-puppet praising Kakabich's brilliance. You can make a fortune betting against anything Kakabich says in regards to just about anything. If Kakabich predicted the Sun rises in the East, I would be forced to verify it the next morning in case the Earth's rotation axis undergoes a sudden shift just to prove him wrong for the millionth time in a row.; 9/7/25, 10:22 PM
Kakistocracy said...: I'm not sure I'm all that opposed Trump's continuing interest in all things dealing with appearances. I'd rather have him paving the Rose Garden than working on acquiring Greenland, or threatening Canada, or name calling Jerome Powell, or fumbling the Epstein scandal or make your own list.; 9/7/25, 11:21 PM
FormerLawClerk said...: If you're really wanting to get away from Google you best bet is to use either Safari or Firefox.

I'm watching the Clint Eastwood epic "Unforgiven" on Firefox right now on YouTube. I run it with Ad-Block Plus, uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger.

Not only do I not see any ads on YouTube, these add-ons for Firefox block most of Google's revenue streams. There are some videos that YouTube is successful at blocking, so I have the Brave browser as a backup. So far, it successfully blocks all YouTube advertising and their stupid nag screens.

I love it. Ad-free experience and I get to fuck over the worst company on the planet.; 9/7/25, 11:24 PM
