They thought it was safe to install a Windows 10 update

They thought it was safe to install a Windows 10 update

Cue the Jaws music and calls for switching to Linux.

Well I for one will NOT be switching to Linux!…

…because I am already using Linux and this latest Microsoft malarky does not bother me one little bit. Except for the inevitable call from someone who needs me to fix their damned Windows PC or laptop.

Seriously though, what the hell is wrong with Microsoft? I know they have had a history or errors, but this is a comedy of errors!

Remember that update they said was going ahead yesterday?

What device to buy for Christmas

What device to buy for Christmas

Nope, I am not telling you what to buy. I am instead pointing out that if you are thinking about buying a ‘computer’ for someone, then that means a whole lot more than the old PC/laptop options from yesteryear

Time for a change?

Time for a change?

This week (and it’s only Monday!) I got a little bit annoyed when I was asked to have a look at a certain laptop which had yet again been infected by something nasty. I started to despair at the world in general and with the apparent inability of people to stop using insecure operating systems.

So rather than rant about it to everyone I meet, I have written this little piece instead. Hopefully I have pointed out the good points about using Linux based computers and not just used it as an excuse to trash Windows. 😉

Why do so many computer enthusiasts turn to Linux? No, that’s not the start of some joke, it’s a serious question and one I think everyone should be thinking about.

I can’t speak for others, but I imagine their reasons for ditching Windows and Macs are similar to my own. In no particular order, here are some of the reasons…

Renault EZ Pro & Ultimo

Renault EZ Pro & Ultimo

Here we have the next two parts of the EZ trilogy started with the EZ Go.

The EZ Pro is aimed at the commercial sector for last mile delivery, with a concierge rather than a driver (all of the EZ line are fully autonomous).

The EZ Ultimo is the high end people carrier that you might expect picking up wealthy passengers on their way to those fancy 5 star hotels.

I like the way Renault are imagining an autonomous future.

Windows 10 Pro suddenly downgrading to Windows 10 Home for a growing number of users

Unbelievable and something you will never find happening on a Linux based computer.

Electric flying is becoming a reality

Electric flying is becoming a reality

So says the CEO of easyJet and you have to sit up and listen, because easyJet is a major airline and the CEO wouldn’t say something like that unless it was commercially viable.

They will be testing a plane in 2019 that can sit 9 people, but plan to eventually roll out 150 seater planes for short haul flights which account for 30% of all flights.

Great news for the planet in the battle against pollution!
