@JaredBusch Yes, everyone has a cell. My thoughts were if I am going to set it up, it may as well get used. My parents still have a house phone as cell service isn't great.
One reason for me was to have an IP phone in my shop as well as the house. I have this now as an "intercom" of sorts. I can get called from the house and get my cheap Grandstream phone dirty and not care.
Definitely not a "must have". Figured if I set up a new lab instance in Vultr, I may as well actually use it.
Its how i call my dad still. In fact everyone. I cant hear people on cell calls.
Need to get you one of those cell phones for old people with some extra oomph in the speaker department.... that, or a set of hearing aids. Amplify All the sounds!
It's not the volume, it's an inability to remove background noise and the audio quality of cell phones is enough to make it hard for me to make out words.

Microsoft edge is rude, to open up like that right off the bat when you log into a PC for the first time after an update .

I just opened up a windows 7 machine for the first time to make sure everything was still working, right?
before the restaurant opened.
and it took forever to even open the damn program. I didn't even tell it to open. -

For the last 3 weeks, I've been in meetings all day every day... Not multiple meetings... just one long stupid meeting.
Also, if anybody recommends an Ivanti Product to you... Run. Run as far and as fast as you can. Then, when you think you've run far enough, run some more. Then, find a deep dark cave to crawl into and never emerge from again. Just ugh...

I've been using that version since it was announced as available. It's had some good updates and I think it's at least as good as chrome now, plus it doesn't eat all my ram and make my cpu hot just for running. Set up properly, it'll sync bookmarks and works well, even on my android.
I understand there's a lot of animosity. I read the manual, such as is available, and release notes, and I've found it better than chrome in my use.

It needs an official unofficial name as calling it Edge is a bit bland, and Chromium Edge makes it sound like an Android phone.
Like Internet Explorer has Internet Exploiter or Internet Exploder.The two best that I've seen are:
- Chedge
- Edgium

i like edgium

Being very impressed with my first time (that i am aware of) working with an ARM processor. These things are slick! Gotta dig into the history and what the future is. I remember vaguely about discussions involving RISC based cpu's and that they were the wave of the future back in the early 90's. Wish i would have paid more attention. It is in a surface pro x.

Which ones? I may have to be heart broken too.

Red Rock... which I was not a fan of so not a big deal. It wasn't bad, just not my vibe.
And Fox and Hound... which had a great beer selection and we used frequently.

It would be surprising if it was your first, even if you exclude embedded devices and phones. Windows CE was ARM only, for example, back in the day. ARM has been everywhere for decads.

80s. They were old hat by the 90s. By the mid-90s, they were anything but the future and CISC was already considered legacy.
The Intel/AMD world remains the only CISC holdout to have survived. Itanium was the only competitor to the CISC/RISC world, and it failed miserably.
Today, there's AMD64 and RISC, and it's been that way since the M68000 died off. They were the last CISC alternative to IA32 with any traction.
