  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Laptop may be reaching the end of its lifespan.

If so, it's been like ten years, so not surprising... but I agonize over having to spend money on things like a dollar store coffee maker or new headphones.

Okay, quick check confirmed that the new mouse and the old mouse both work as well as they previous did in his set-up. Just not in mine. Whoopee.

So that means I do have to start looking into replacement options. As well as how to pay for those replacement options.

On new laptop, it all seems to be working out.

Nice. And to be fair with how that laptop was ~/~ 10 years? Probably more than old enough to not be 'fit' for the upcoming Windows 11 'update', that'd be mandatory by October time? So, hindsight is 20/20, on bailing out on a later/worse pressure, there...
