An Artificial Joke?
Borg said:
My computer seems jumpy lately. I might need something to help it take the Edge off.
I suggest Revo uninstaller. No side effects and long-lasting pain relief and no charge without ads using 2.4.4 Portable. Even better, take off Win 10/11 and jump back to Win7x64 and/or remove all the Telemetry.

I don't need anymore stinkin' updates.

Why is my computer cold in the summer? Because I closed Windows Updates and now my air (CPU) conditioner only runs 2% of the time on average. Below running a dozen apps like Thunderbird, Firefox, Portable Apps, Start Menu, Irfanview, Winpatrol

This keeps happening.

Us: "We are having trouble installing this software on our office system."
Helpdesk: "We're not sure why. Go ahead and turn off your Antivirus."

My helpdesk fun went like this today:

Me: My remote desktop got messed up and rebuilt itself. I need to recover yesterday's profile.
Helpdesk: OK, I'll put a ticket in to rebuild it.
Me: No, I need it restored, not rebuilt again.
Helpdesk: Yes, I'll send in a ticket and they'll rebuild your profile.
Me: :rolleyes:

I've used the free DeskTopOK utility for years -- really saved my behind a few times. It can save or restore the desktop layout on demand. Very handy when I rotate my display to Portrait mode then back to Landscape.

I don't have any control over the computer's environment.

Today's fun discovery when I logged in this morning:

Sysadmin: Let's do a complete re-image of people's computers and bury the announcement in a corporate email that nobody reads so that they don't know to back everything up. Everything will be deleted - files, profile settings, bookmarks, etc. Yeah! That will be fun.

I'm starting on a new project in a different location (including different admins, computers, etc.) on Monday. Seems fitting that this group should inflict one last injustice before I leave.

EDIT:
One of my co-workers got his profile back this morning so maybe mine will come back eventually.
