  • I support several hundred Windows desktops, and most of them work okay out of the box. Since we are stripping down the Windows image, we are injecting the drives at imaging, so it is very difficult to compare.

    I CAN discuss that Windows 11 24h2 appears to have issues with scanners, and requires going into device manager and telling the computer to use the driver you just installed and is already selected.

    There for a while your could reach pretty far back and get 7 and 8 drivers working on 10 as long as they were whql. Often enough, XP and older drivers would work, assuming you used comparability mode and did just the right dance. I’m seeing lsa blocking some of that now.

    Again, it is difficult to compare a professional environment to my personal fleet, just considering scale and one-off cases.















  • I had started changing my own oil about 10 years ago and my wife had a fit that I was spending $70 on oil and filter plus some supplies here and there compared to the $50 oil change.

    We took the car there next time with the coupon. Wife came with me so she could make sure.

    Oh, I only use synthetic, it says so in the manual. That was an extra $30.

    The car takes 6 quarts, not 5. +$15

    The filter wasn’t included. +$20

    No, that’s not my air filter. I just replaced it last time.

    Can you please deflate my tires back to 32 psi? 60 is too high. It says so here on my door frame.

    +??? & Tax came out to $130.

    5 minute oil change took like 30-40 minutes.

    I still do so my own oil changes.
