@aspecurian do you have a stand blender? (yes, I do flashback to the 70's why do you ask?)

You could blend the soup in there if you were careful - or check thrift stores/ebay!!

@Mark15 that movie was fun to watch :D

@voltronic I'll check it. I know that I can connect to the machine if the saver is not running, but gives me a grey screen if it is. I know it's still available because I can connect to the *drives* attached to it (that have been previously mapped), and to my Calibre library running on it even with the grey CRD screen.

It's maddening lol

@voltronic My issue was not knowing if all my old programs would run on the new OS. We've had all sorts of problems at work with the new machines not wanting to talk to the OTHER computers on the network, esp since we have a mixed Mac/PC network.

Also found out that after the upgrade, if my computer was running a screen saver, I couldn't get Remote Desktop to fully connect. Had to disable the saver.

Going to try with the screen sleeping instead. Don't like to leave it on all the time.

*cracks knuckles* successfully replaced the dying SSD in my laptop with a new, larger one. Cloned it and everything.

The sticker on the old SSD says it was installed on 2019/10/23. 4 years minus one day ago,

That went much faster than the RAM upgrade a few months ago since I now know were all the sneaky screws are. Yay, go me! #cosocomputersupport

@LiberalLibrarian someone doesn't want to go hiking, I guess.

"Don't go to a movie because it indicates a waste of time and feeds into the bourgeois consumption! No social anything, only work.

Gee, she's on social media (the hellsite bird, no less), isn't she? Isn't that also a part of the bourgeois consumption?

LOL Kelce has a huge run! *CBS shows TS*

@MrsE0113 I'm on my way for the double whammy myself.

Update:

I tried a native screen saver (3D Text), set a 30 minute delay and waited. Now I can't get onto the comp remotely - same grey screen as before.

Apparently you cannot turn on a screen saver for your Win11 machine and then use Remote Desktop.

Guess I'll be doing some more trial-and-error testing this weekend.

@MakerWerks so yes, it was an old 3rd party one. Alas.
