Technician just spent over 3-hours mating HP-PC to new HP-cpy-prt-scan unit. Issues were with Copy-unit code and set-up and failure of USB attach.

For many novice PC-Windows-11 users, the computer game isn’t pleasant.
The increased complexity of Win-11 is not convenient to casual users.
The help queries spurt-out reams of esoteric instructions instead of “executing” the function required.
-
For years one could buy a PC and a printer, take them home and plug them into each other with a data cable
Each into a wall outlet with a power cable
PC cable into a telephone-modem or a cable-box
Insert the included CD or DVD setup and guided instructions.
Turn-on the boxes and have a good chance of getting on-line quickly.

Fast forward to the new and improved Windows-11
Where “technical assistance” is a frequently needed and time-consuming and costly necessity for many home-users who don’t have an IT department.
-
What happened?
It appears Microsoft made major product direction changes.
1. Introducing AI
2. Directing customers to keep their data in “the cloud”
3. Down-size hard-drives and local storage
4. Emphasize WiFi for more interactivity and mobility
-
It appears these changes are good for Microsoft and many users who are
“on the road a lot” and those who interact with a “digital team”, however, it may not be so good for individuals who don’’t have an IT-department and who wish to keep “their stuff” close to home.
Limited options … stay with Win 10?.

Google response to Windows query: windows-11 major issues
“Windows 11 continues to face recurring technical bugs from cumulative updates alongside persistent design and privacy complaints.
Recent Technical & Update Issues
• Post-Update Glitches & Black Screens: Recent cumulative updates (such as those following late-summer and autumn 2026 rollouts) have triggered missing taskbars, black desktop backgrounds, freezing Settings app pages (audio, display, power), and desktop loading delays after sign-in.”

It’s interesting that Rep. Omar has dug back to Donald Rumsfeld’s frequently used phrase "not to my knowledge". Don’t remember that Donald ever used it relative to marrying his sister!
Perhaps Omar’s defense-alibi will be that she was “incapacitated” and therefore “doesn’t remember” marrying her brother – you think?Or, maybe all this is just political folly.

The US is heading into a heated and disturbing election. A significant number of candidates are left-leaning socialists if not communist-sympathizers as demonstrated in NYC’s last election and the active cabal in the US Congress.
Parts of Europe are in turmoil as organized rioters pillage and burn.
All this at a time the Russian-China team threaten military-stress and economic competition.
Russian frustration in Ukraine is a ticking nuclear time-bomb.
Proverb: May you live in interesting times!

France is burning, Europe's broke
The unrest in Europe reflects a growing anxiety that Europe’s economic and social model is no longer delivering

Europe is in the streets. From Paris to Brussels, Milan to Lisbon, hundreds of thousands of citizens are protesting rising living costs, stagnant wages, unaffordable housing and deteriorating public services. In France, demonstrations have descended into burning barricades, looted businesses, and attacks on public buildings. Elsewhere, students, workers and frustrated families are demanding that their governments deliver the prosperity and security they have long promised. Most protesters are peaceful, but the unrest reflects a growing anxiety that Europe’s economic and social model is no longer delivering.
-
The immediate grievances vary, but the underlying problem is more profound: too many European economies have become better at protecting yesterday’s arrangements than creating tomorrow’s opportunities. Excessive regulation, rigid labor structures, fragmented capital markets, and slow decision-making constrain the growth necessary to sustain Europe’s generous social promises. Europe has not run out of talent. It has made it unnecessarily difficult for talent to flourish.
-
Having served as the U.S. ambassador to the EU, I have heard this firsthand from executives running the American operations of major European companies, particularly in Silicon Valley. Their message is remarkably consistent: they simply cannot innovate in Europe the way they can in the United States. These are Europeans describing the limitations of their own economic environment. They come to America because our ecosystem allows them to move faster, attract capital, take risks, recruit talent, and turn promising ideas into commercially successful businesses.

Apparently as the election nears and voters take a closer look at the AntiTrumpers running in this election --- Trump is looking better every day!
Even his bad language doesn’t seem so bad compared to the Democrats and who doesn’t use bad language when talking about them!

Barack has a long history of kinship with communists from Castro to Putin.
Barack has announced he will now be electioneering with Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan Senate primary winner who looks more like a communist than Castro.
Why are we not surprised – Barack has been a ‘closet Pinko’ all his life!
-
Reality view:
How excited should we be that a communist fellow-traveler is running for senate, and may well win, when we had a president and his wife clearly promoting communist leaders and their views and actions.

A Tale of Two Theses
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2009/09/tale-of-two-theses.html
The graduate thesis written by Michelle Obama was removed from the files at Princeton and hidden.
The Democrat-Obama-Media story was that it was “just a thesis” written long ago by a student and didn’t reflect any real or permanent views and if made available, would just be used for negative purposes! The folks at Princeton who hid the thesis were so gracious and thoughtful!
-
Michelle’s racial attitude reflected in this thesis is clearly reflected in her famous quote
“First Time I’m proud to be an American”

The thesis, titled "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community" and written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, in 1985, has been the subject of much conjecture on the blogosphere and elsewhere in recent weeks, as it has been "temporarily withdrawn" from Princeton's library until after this year's presidential election in November -------- “How convenient”!

Communism is like a persistent cancer: active, then dormant, then active again until it permeates and takes over the host!
