    Fall colors in Southern California... the orange of the brush fires... the brown of the smoke... the white of the ash falling...

      Stay safe, I know what it is like to get rained on by ash.  I still don't know how the hell they saved our town, EVERYTHING around it burned to the ground.  Most insane experience ever, looking at the burn map, closing in.  My entire town of 7000 people was completely surrounded by the fire.  I guess enough super rich people live here and it is the home of Johnny Cash. LOL

      CPU I am so glad you are safe. It's been relatively quiet up here in NorCal (this year) compared to where you are at. Of course it gets a bit louder with all the generators running during the mandatory power outages

      Johnny Cash. How appropriate. "I fell into a burning ring of fire..."

    Finally cancelled Netflix today after months of not watching anything on it. Felt good! Tempted to sign up for other streaming services so I can feel good about cancelling them, too.

      Just finished up the third season of Stranger Things.  Netflix has been on my shitlist, though, ever since they started autoplaying video in all their clients.  They can right FOAD for that as far as I'm concerned.

      we cancelled our Netflix after 15 or so years this month as well- there's just no value in it for us.  Disney+, on the other hand.....

      I also canceled Hulu because I just don't watch any network shows at all. All the stuff I wanted to see (mainly gaming & wrestling) is on YouTube.

    Finally repaired my 2600. Again.

      It's making the rounds as a news story,   But I hope they get it out as more of an activist thing;  i. e.  Tell everyone where they can call if they see these things,...Spread the word we need to destroy them before they can take hold.

    I voted! It was nice to vote early, and I highly recommend it. However, I was disappointed that it didn't somehow make me exempt from still having to watch political ads on TV.

    I wonder if Adobe ever tests their software before unleashing it on the public? Probably saves them a lot of time and money to have paying customers find all of their bugs for them. #IHateAdobeMustBeADayThatEndsInY

      That article is a good start, although it only scratches the surface. Their support for enterprise and educational customers is absolutely abysmal. When they pushed out CC 2019 a year ago, the licensing broke for labs. They've since removed their document warning administrators, but it said, in part:

       

      "What happens if I try to update lab environments to Creative Cloud 2019?

      First, please do not attempt to upgrade lab environments to Creative Cloud 2019 at this time as, unfortunately, Creative Cloud 2019 is not currently available for labs. If you attempt to update shared environments (labs and classrooms) to Creative Cloud 2019, the apps installed on a machine will run in trial mode."

       

      They posted this after CC 2019 shipped. It took months for the licensing issues to get sorted out.

       

      Photoshop 2020 was a train-wreck of bugs and crashes when it shipped in the fall. We're still patching it.

      Look on the bright side. The CEO that was running things at Adobe now works for Maxon. So we got that going for us. Which is nice. That and the total consciousness on our death beds thing.

    I'd like to think it's just age, or exhaustion, or being really distracted. But somedays, I'm just stupid.

      Gorf Arcade?  HELL YEAH!!!

       

      @CPUWIZ   Me neither!  Even when I ate meat, I thought turkey sucked...A lump of dry flavorless tranquilizer so bad you had to add gravy before it was even lightly edible!  No thanks.

    I'm working remote, using my own computer's monitor to view a laptop computer that I'm using to remote into my desktop computer at work. I keep forgetting which computer I'm using.
