Been a while since anything has been placed here, so here goes…

How often do you restart/reboot your PC
  • At least every day
  • Maybe once every few days
  • Few times a week
  • Every few weeks
  • When I feel like it
  • When the system prompts me to do so (typically after an update)
  • Now that I think of it, I never do.

Honestly got into the habit of turning the desktop off because of load shedding. I’ve slowly started getting out of the habit lately of letting it go into Sleep mode. The laptop on the other hand, goes off maybe once a week.

Every few hours when Eskom is performing at its best.

Since I now have a UPS and we have solar backup power, I basically never restart my PC, only after maybe an update, or if I feel like something screwy is happening with my PC.

Since I wondered how long my PC has actually up for,
My CPU says its been: 108 days 17 hours

If anyone else wants to find out, a simple easy way to use, is to go to taskmanager > performance > CPU tab look for the ā€œUp Timeā€ section.

Cortana is dead. Long live Cortana!!

Currently being replaced by the ChatGPT-driven Copilot. (MS didn’t invest all those billions into OpenAI not to make use of it.)

Oh, and who voted ā€œOther, comment below.ā€ and then didn’t comment below?! You’re doing it wrong!

Yeah, I didn’t include Copilot as it is more akin to ChatGPT and thus more a language model than an assistant. Though there is a lot of overlap of these services.
