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 SauceTM to the drivers.
Depends. Do you have more money than Disney? If so, the odds are in your favor.
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).
But we reply with the same anger if someone has an opinion different from ours.
Hey fuck you! That’s total bullshit and you know it!!
It’s the same thing. Click bottom left corner, start typin. best workflow.
Isn’t that what start menu icons do already?
It’s kind of neutral in my opinion.
It would have been better if it varied more from the radio show as the books did, and the special effects were largely cringeworthy if a product of the time and budget. The animations were very good though.
My point was that it doesn’t particularly support the idea that all the different versions have been drastically different.
But the miniseries is just a carbon-copy of the radio programme…
I think you’re right about the SEQUEL to SQL backformation but why would Microsoft enter into it at all?
The naming and origin of SQL happened back in the 70s, long before Microsoft did its work on porting Sybase to OS/2 in the late 80s.
I guess I’m in the minority here calling it “et cetera”

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.
I’ve found it to be pretty good in my area although I did have to tweak the cycling profile to avoid unpaved, otherwise it really like to take me down out of the way gravel paths.
There’s a fair amount of customization …
Including surface types such as sett and cobble
It’s hidden by default but it should be there in
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUpfor “all users” and%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startupseparately for each user.
