KB5043064 is a shining example of why no developer or corporation should be allowed to use Agile without serving at least 7 years in medium security prison for it. Yet another hand polished turd pooped out the end of a sprint and was forced upon an unsuspecting public “to get user feedback.” If it didn’t completely trash your machine to the point of getting 0xc000021a on each and every boot attempt thereafter, consider yourself lucky. … Windows 10 KB5043064 Error 0x800f0922Read more

Asus Pro B760M-CT CSM
Years ago I promised myself I would never build another computer. Been buying HP and Lenovo (mostly HP) off-lease small form factor desktops and that massive HP z820 you’ve read about.

I use Image for Linux … Debian 12 is Better Than Windows 10Read more

I hate it when I have to touch anything Microsoft or running on Microsoft. VCRUNTIME140_1.dll is just the latest in the never ending battle with The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight. Today it was OnlyOffice that wanted to force an update on me. Software on Windows has the world’s worst habit of trying to force upgrades on you right when you are in the middle of doing something. I was literally four pages into a … VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not foundRead more
