You did fine, but man is the headline underselling the problem. They got Al Capone for tax evasion, too, so here’s hoping history repeats.

I mean shit, if corruption were the worst of him we’d be in a lot better shape than we are now.

Most real floppy drives are on their own port. They show up as /dev/fd0

It’s hidden by default but it should be there in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp for “all users” and %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup separately for each user.

XP-7 had this right with a folder in the start menu for startup items, just drag a file or shortcut there and it runs on startup.

It’s the same in 10. This is actually one thing I find obnoxious in Linux, even as a user for 25+ years… menu “shortcuts” aka .desktop files are harder to make and poorly documented.

Also a testament to how much of a benefit it is when the vendors just get out of the way and don’t feel the need to add their own Special Sauce^TM to the drivers.

I get why they did it ( because it’s “printers and other devices”) but seriously would it be that hard to link it in both places? Or actually make a printer settings that works worth a shit so you don’t need the control panel app?

Sound is in there too. The one that annoys me is the printer settings being under “Bluetooth” instead of “printers”.

A BIOS does not inherently have to have a configuration utility.

This right here.

My first PC (a 386 circa 1989) did not have a built-in config utility. It had a bootable floppy disk that could configure the BIOS settings. I think all it could change was the system time and the CHS values of the hard drive(s).

It’s the same thing. Click bottom left corner, start typin. best workflow.

Isn’t that what start menu icons do already?

… wait, no.

Heh, if you think Lenovo is bad and mac vs Lenovo is a bad choice to have to make…

…what do you put forth as the shining beacon of laptop mfgs? Cos it ain’t Dell, and it sure isn’t HP.

Who else is there?

That’s what most laptop OEMs do.

Dell is just “rebranded” Compal, Quanta, Clevo…

That’s not a bad thing and the ODM/OEM system is not anything new.

Sometimes the difference is just the badge, sometimes it’s firmware changes too, sometimes it’s completely customized to the OEM specifications.

It has varied a lot over time and mostly depends on how big the OEM is and proportionally how much time/effort/expense they want to throw at a particular design.

They’re not. Higher birth rates are not better when population levels are as high as they are.

Yeah but not for the presidency.
