Been away... and upgrade and losss

Postby foxpur » Sat Aug 29, 2015 5:55 pm

I have been away moving emergency from UK to Sweden. In doing so 2 of my 3 monitors were destroyed and the 3 damages. As I am disabled this was a major blow. I had also upgraded to Win10 and that reset many of the software I need to play. So, I finally get the 1 display up and running with Win10. I am still not that active but... at least I am back.

Well, UK changed laws in Supporting those not from UK and I was on the queue for disability when they suddenly stopped my rent/food so within a couple of weeks I was suddenly homeless. I borrowed funds and got a emergency ticket to Sweden where I have citizenship and got a emergency passport.. for a week and a half I was wandering the airport with 75kg in cargo, with 1/3 of my body paralysed from a Stroke. It wasn't pretty and I'm still technically homeless but I have a friend that lets me use the net for my pc.

Good Lord. I hope that gets straightened out soon!

And that's somewhat debatable. LOL.

I run win10 on my gaming machine, and the only problems I've seen are related to being even more sensitive to latency in network and video card sound (like HDMI audio out) drivers. And that's probably just poorly optimized drivers. I was able to update the network drivers, at least.
