You will be upgraded!

Whether you like it or not.

Obviously Microsoft is no longer intending to support Windows 8 since it has gone and downloaded 8.1 even though I repeatedly told it not to. Once it had, I repeatedly told it not to install, until today, when postponing installation longer than 4 hours was not permitted. So far it has not demonstrated the same screw-up that it did with my laptop (disabling the display when idle and not being able to re-enable without hard reset) but it did already confuse me with it's stupid audio problem: at first sound wasn't working, then it kind of was, but apparently now 5.1 surround sound means "front, centre and side" as opposed to "front, centre and rear".

So now I'm running a 7.1 surround setup without side speakers, because apparently that's how things work now...

Tech industry needs to die...

And why am I still seeing Asian dating ads on my front page?

Horror by the wayside

So I missed Halloween. Or didn't miss it as the case may be. Depends on context I suppose. Nothin' doin'. Still around, site wasn't blocked in retaliation for my snipe at the government, but since almost no one read my post, I guess they didn't care. Or they didn't care anyway. Or they didn't see it.

Damn I hate thinking, why can't some of you do more thinking so I don't have to?

Anyway, no plans made, for anyone who cares. Plenty of free time so perhaps I might actually do that Mass Effect series thingy. If so I can't guarantee that I'll get around to replaying the games prior to doing a recap/review.

Think more, have fun and stop killing each other. Seriously, you need to be better human beings, or the species is doomed.
