Er, I did. But I would add that for some OnlyOffice may be a more familiar but less capable alternative. Another Linux Mint vote here - and it does dual boot with Windows 11. On my PC it is dual boot, but Windows 11 is so unstable compared to Linux I mostly use just Linux now.

Avoid the JL one - it is a headline maker / loss leader. Avoid Pentium, Atom and Celeron processors - frustratingly slow. Get an i5 as a sensible midrange processor. AS others have said, get an SSD and a good mount or RAM (say 16Mb) If OP is on Windows 7 then the forthcoming EOL for W10 is...

Yes - that's why I said "legal" in post above :)

A few random thoughts: If you use a PIR in an outbuilding, given climatic fluctuations it is advisable to use a dual function PIR (IR and sonar if I recall) to avoid false alarms. My daughter has got a Ring set-up and loves it - although there is a one minute lag (may be changeable). If a...

With Musk as an adviser I am sure there will be some green initiatives as well.

Ukraine has been conscripting and press ganging troops. I am not sure how easy it will be to stop them returning to public life - and as I say the law under which they were conscripted specified war - so will it still even apply?

Because it mobilised using martial law because of the war - when there is a ceasefire the martial law ends.

My prediction: Ukraine there will be ceasefire along current front lines. Trump will tell the world how wonderful he is to stop the war etc etc Putin will rearm and regroup. Ukraine will demobilize. "Special Military Operation" number 2 will then take the rest of Ukraine and bring it back...

As I have said before, much of what will befall America in the next four years will be down to two individuals who didn't know when to quit.

Isn't the problem that no-one can put forward a single policy of hers. Period.

Of more concern, given the vindictiveness of Trump, the UK under Starmer and his bunch is badly positioned to continue the special relationship - after Labour activists campaigning for Harris and David Lamy shooting his mouth off.

Well certainly the UK's leftie lawyer did better that the US's leftie lawyer. But why is it that we see lawyers becoming politicians rather than, say, business men with a proven track record in managing becoming politicians?

Trump is a thoroughly nasty piece of work - he bears grudges and will be vindictive for sure. Another reason why he will be bad for Ukraine - who refused to ditch the dirt on the Biden Crime family in 2020.

They voted in what they saw as the "least bad" - and for Harris to be worse than Trump she had to be seen as really, really bad - which she was. Had the Democrats selected a decent candidate the outcome might have been different.

If he does as he claims, and introduces tariffs, then the rest of the world will retaliate. So far from making America rich again he will make everyone poorer.

To be honest, I think the Democrats biggest mistake was selecting a Californian leftie lawyer with a poor track record as their candidate. Too many open goals for Trump to aim at. Don't blame the voters.

Yes. Ukraine will be part of Russia in five years. Putin does not think of it as a separate country and will now take it. My guess is a ceasefire - then Putin will build up forces whilst Ukraine demobilises - round 2 will then be a push-over. Putin's patsies Orban and Fico will ensure...

I still wonder how, like in 2016, in a country of 270 million that these two are the best candidates that could be found. As for the theory as to what will happen next with Agenda 25 and the rest, history will reflect on two people who didn't know when to quit.

Sadly, I would not be in the least bit surprised in Putin has a "Plan B" involving Transnistria - think Donbass.

I seem to recall reading in the US some types of outdoor boiler are also banned. However, I thought the industry had fixed this with a sort of afterburn / second burn capability that all but eliminated the particles. Certainly a friend's OWB has a second chamber for this reason.
