Don't feel bad, on my first flight I ran into the sun by accident.

Kept working on it and was rewarded with the rest of the game. For real I continued to die to spaceship piloting issues but it didn't ruin the game for me.

it limits the Windows updates you'll receive.

I don't think it does now does it? For the longest time ms wants to make sure all machines are up to date to try and keep, "always getting viruses" moniker away. I think maybe xp did that?

Yea, this is not cheap companies doing cheap things. This is companies getting annoyed by stupid licencing and restrictions, getting around the problem.

Everyone saying PSU, but I also had a similar issue and it turned out to be my GPU overheating (driver did an emergency shutdown of windows.) It was a fair few years old, but after a re-paste of the GPU thermal compound the issue went away. The reason I say is it's probably cheaper than a new PSU, so I would do it first.

Did they think about how far I would have to move my hand to type it? Sudo is only in two easy to reach places on the keyboard, run0 is 4 separate areas of the keyboard, one two rows from home and none on the home row.

I'm only partially joking.

One issue is that some people are still on windows 7 installs that were upgraded. Windows 7 had a large enough partition for then, but the upgrade now needs more. Unfortunately 2009 Microsoft didn't anticipate that this should be bigger for 2023 installs. Making it larger is a hassle I wouldn't want to code either.

Honestly I think Tesla and spacex got where they did as he wasn't doing any programming. Last time I used paypal it felt janky af.

For csv import, use import-csv and loop on the results:

Import-csv myfile.csv | foreach-object {

Templates should be easy, just copy the template to a new file with the docx extension. Use one of the columns (in this case "name" as the column header,) from the csv for the name:

    $newname = $_.name + '.docx'
    Copy-item 'template.dotx' $newname
}

I'm not sure about that, they were the simplest options. I feel like the order of elimination was related to how long the explanation was. People like things simple.

I use it with WAC on my home server and it's good enough for anything I need to do. Easy to create VMs using that UI, PS not even needed.

My reason for not using them is that they tend to be overly aggressive in what they remove. I only need a few reg tweaks and denying permissions on a few files. These often go whole hog and remove whole components, almost all apps etc. I actually use one drive, I don't want its files also removed.

Mine does not have a rotating plate, just a glass bottom. I assume the magnetron rotates, either that or it heats unevenly.
