Comments (105)OK - here's what I have as far as pre-arranged trades: Brenda - for lunch, I'm bringing obedient plant and some salvias. Cheryl - for painted pots, I'm bringing striped cannas. Heather, for a daylily and Danish flag poppy seeds, I am bringing a rooted Confederate rose cutting and winter honeysuckle. Nik - for white iris, tiny pecan, and raspberry, I am bringing two of the primrose jasmine (and your pick of something else). Pam - for short yellow cannas, I am bringing striped cannas (Pretoria and Tropicana). Phyllis - for blue sedum and a pink lily, I am bringing Carolina buckthorn and a primrose jasmine. Sally - for sweet flag, I am bringing elderberries. Susan - for bog sage and solidago fireworks, I am bringing some rooted fig cuttings (and care info) plus your pick of anything that catches your fancy. Just to list some extras that I hope to remember: : bay leaves (if I remember where I put the bag of them) - these are also good for keeping bugs out of your pantry, even if you don't cook with them. : Carolina buckthorn : Cashmere bouquet : Eastern red cedar seedlings : Elderberries : Hall's honeysuckle : obedient plant : a friend with a lot of great stuff of her own potted up Can't wait! The weather should be beautiful!...See MoreWindows 10 Password
Comments (4)When you made your login originally windows 10 asks for your email account and password. From what you have said, I assume that's what you use to login to your desktop. Well you didn't have to use your email, you could have read the fine print and just made your login a name with optional password, no email account necessary..... this is called a Local Account - which you can change to and sounds like it might be a good idea for you if you don't want to use a password. To change to a local account, in the contana search feature type in Accounts, then look at the settings category for 'your account picture and profile settings' Under your name there you will see change to a local account. It will want proof you are you with your password and when you put in your new name, just don't enter a password. ..... you can also find your account by clicking; Action Menu icon, All Settings, Accounts....See MoreMy experience with Windows 10
Comments (7)Windows 10 is a fundamentally different ownership arrangement. You are not buying a product any more, you are essentially buying a service. They can choose to change that service or stop offering that service. They can force you to upgrade that service. You don't really own the software anymore, just a right to use the service, whatever that may be. Now this may sound trivial, but it is a fundamental change in their business model. Probably the biggest change is in how they view your information. They have access to your information and the metadata derived from it. You can certainly try to turn off all the check boxes that give them access to your information, but it is difficult and tedious. They may get turned back on again without your knowledge via a service change. They have a "content distribution network" or ad network that they are weaving into the OS. Currently most of this is viewed via Bing, but the future is to pump it into your desktop or tablet and use information derived from your usage to help advertisers target the ads to the ideal audience. This may sound familiar, because it is exactly what google has been doing on the browser platform for years. MS just wants to adopt it and use their platform to deliver the content. Just to touch on meta data, they can collect information about your data and create new data from it. Then they can disavow having your original data, while retaining the new data that they own derived form your data. Mush this up with the proper legal language and it gets very difficult to figure out exactly what data they are accessing and what they are doing with it. 10 is very usable, you just need to understand that you have become the product....See MorePassword Manager and Multiple Tabs
Comments (11)I generally agree with the direction of the responses though not necessarily the overall tone of the conversation. For me, internet users have way too much paranoia and not nearly enough common sense. For the average person, access to your passwords (as if someone were busting their gut to get them, which isn't the case) will do what? Allow them to use your subscription to the NY Times, resume saved games you've played, see your sister's photos on Facebook? Yeah, really. Keep it in context. The risks are more imagined than real. Now, past that, nothing is better for keeping passwords than a piece of paper and a pen. That's what I set up for my 95 year old relative to use, it works fine for her. If you use your PC away from home, make it a text file high up on the folder tree on the hard drive so it's easy to find immediately. Even in its own top level folder. Take deep breaths, move on. Password containing apps or programs are really not necessary....See More- 9 years ago
