    Just watched 'Saving Private Ryan'. That beginning half hour is still as visceral as the first time I saw it back in 1998(?).

    So few channels, so many people (routers, that is).

    :ireful: Mozilla...!!!! How the hell do you screw up so badly by allowing the add-ons certificate for Firefox to expire...!!!??? :ireful:

      I'd just installed Adblock Plus on Firefox/Android to eliminate the google adverts.  Then Firefox autodisables it! :triniti:

       

      I'm not impressed!

    Hot glue gun just stopped working while I was using it and now won't restart :resent:

     

    Have had to order a replacement. Fortunately the Iroda one I had was a branding of a generic design, so there was another of the same type with a different branding on Amazon.

     

    My loco storage box rebuild will now have to pause for a few days.

      This is a gas powered one, rather than an electric.

      Ahhhh.....

       

      Gas, eh?  Useful!

    4. Ian J.

      Ian J.

      Very useful. Not having the power cord is very liberating.

    A kernel of truth - 4.10.0-38 still works better than 4.15.0-45.

      Back to Linux Mint 18.3, with kernel 4.10.0-38, all is working as expected. Shame, because I was getting used to the look of 19.1. There needs to be a check for a 'bug' somewhere in the latest kernel for 18.3/19.1, because it's not entirely right when it comes to network communications. Also, 19.1 needs better hibernation support. It seems like they've turned it off because they couldn't be arsed to face it.

  14. Ian J.

    Linux. Grrrr.... :banghead:

      Oh dear. Well, I shall not upgrade from 18.3 for a while then. 

      I hope you can get those issues sorted out quickly.

      Linux is a pig to sort things out on when it isn't out-of-the-box. So much CLI crap, and no clues as to how to get things done because pretty much all CLI development presumes knowledge of how to ask the system what its current state is. Also, the online community is so CLI centric it gives answers that are always CLI based (partly because all the development is done for CLI and GUI is always an afterthought). I'd pay good money for a GUI-centric distro of Linux with all functions having GUI equivalents, and proper commercial software support. Linux Mint is closest I've seen to date, but even it fails dismally in so many situations when it isn't basic usage, or something goes wrong.
