It's no Hard Kandy Episode 2, but one of my favourites nonetheless

At least Hard Kandy Episode 2 was mastered properly

Honestly that decision was the pinnacle of phaggotry

nah it's more like windows 7 than 8 IMO, enterprise editions can't upgrade either - you can download the upgrade from Microsoft website if you don't have the notification, that's what I did.

#microsoftrep

I've got whatever version came with my laptop... I got the notification to 'reserve my copy' of 10 just haven't got the next one to say it's downloaded and ready to install

I skipped over ME and skipped over Vista... everything else has been getting progressively better as it goes.

I don't understand people saying that they don't like 8 and 8.1, yes its a big visual change to the Start Menu... but you how often do you actually spend in the Start Menu each day? If it's anything more than 60 seconds over the entire day, you're doing it wrong.

For me I do the logical things:

Pin commonly used programs to the task bar so they're just one click away.

Right click on the task bar -> Properties -> Always launch to desktop

If I need to launch a program that isn't pinned, I tap the windows key on my keyboard, type the first few letters of the program then hit enter... I'm in the start menu for a whole 2 seconds... Please, tell me how that's impeding on my productivity in a negitive way.

I don't get why people are acting like it's a "Tablet OS"... No, it's not... it's the same old desktop that you've used for years, they've just changed a few UI elements to make them touch friendly if you want to hang out in the start menu / those apps all the time. 100% not what you'll be doing if you want to be productive on a PC.

I might be technically inept here

But windows 8 loads up by default not my desktop but the stupid tablet GUI I don't want to know about. How do I make it start up on the desktop so I don't have to click away the tablet shit? Also do not have an easy to access shut down button - must alt F4 my way out.

And just the whole treating everything as an app thing is a dumbing down science that Apple started for idiots who don't know what a program is and can't deal with the complexity of multiple executables for that program or...application...as we called it in our day.

It definitely does compromise for tablets so they can cross platform it - case in point, desktops don't need any of that tablet UI shizzle.

Mine opens to desktop, didn't do anything to make it do that just thought it was the norm as always.

Shit like the calculator etc piss me off.. calculator used to open as a small window, so you could use it while probably calculating shit which was probably on your screen... Now it opens as a f**kin full screen 'app'. Brilliant idea.

Just had a look at it, you can 'split left' and 'split right', so you make it take up half the screen vertically... Shit like that is a pointless 'upgrade' and a step backwards. Not everything needs to be changed for something to be upgraded

on a laggy connection I loath the interface with a passion.

on a local machine it's fine.

but had more bad experiences than good.

I wish ECU's were clear-cut, black & white decision :( making a choice is annoying.

Just ask what everyone else likes then do the opposite.

It's what you will end up doing anyway, why not cut out the middle man?

Haha you psychic. Someone is talking me into some UK 4-cyl specialised shit. Cheaper than most standalones too.

What's so hard Leroy? You drive a Pulsar so basic is what you need: Nistune!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
