What I would find very useful is for MS to provide an AI tool to analyse what has failed when your Windows installation goes wrong and generates an error message. Then provide a fix which resolves the issue. (Unless it is a hardware problem, of course). Unfortunately if they ever were to implement such a useful system, it would make Eleven Forum redundant!

I would be happy if they stopped using generic error codes and tell us what the problem is. The same with automobiles. The check engine light is only good for telling us that a code was sent to the computer. We shouldn't have to use a code reader or having to trust that the mechanic is being honest. There is going to be a day that most if not all small repair garages are going to go out of business. The computers they will have to buy is going to cost them thousands of dollar. Then on top of that, their going to have to spend thousand of dollars a year to keep the software up to date.

Ha Ha. I hope you meant less painful?

The post has been corrected.

I think of the human mind as a muscle. The less one uses it, the weaker it gets.

Couldn't use a rubber band to cut off circulation? I would think it would be less painful to the animals.

I don't think any method would be pain free apart from surgical removal under local or general anaesthetic. The rubber band method used to be used to shorten dogs tails before the practice was made illegal in the UK. Don't know about other countries.
I'm sure I've seen the Yorkshire Vet * doing it under LA.

* A program that follows some town & country vets in their work in Yorkshire, England.

I'm amazed at how wide ranging discussions can become following a simple question! Fascinating.

That’s right.

When I was around 15 on the farm, we were drenching sheep and the leathery old farm manager told me of a local he met that did this process using his teeth. Still not sure if the old leathery guy was sain. Well he wasn’t, but not sure if he was telling a yarn.

Years ago I use to hear old time farmers talking about doing it. I think it was with pigs. It may also have been with bulls. It's been so long ago that I'm not sure. There's also Rocky Mountain oysters. Something I would have to be drunk to even consider eating.

You’ll need a whole bottle. Think sheep brains but with gristle.

I have to take back what I said about being drunk. I have been eating scrapple since I was a very young kid. I knew it was made from the scraps of a pig. I just looked it up and found that scapple does include pig gonads.

I finally managed to disable CoPilot in Office. Hopefully by March it will be non-existent after my subscription renews.

You will have to change your plan. If not you will get charged the full amount. I've already renewed my subscription for this year. I was lucky and just missed the price increase. I'm going to wait until December and switch my plan from Family to Family Classic.

That's the plan I switched to. BUT I don't actually get the change until I get the renewal.

Unless the can add the price increase to my already renewed plan I'm in no hurry to change it. My renewal was done the beginning of January before the price increase.

To clarify I prepaid for my next subscription because that was the only way they would let me change it to Family Classic.

Going back down to minus 20 something on the home front. I'll stay in the basement where my PCs keep me warm.

Good plan. My father in-law said it was cold there. I don’t know how you guys do it.
