Run MSConfig and see what’s running on startup.
Turn off any services you don’t want and any programs you don’t need. I suggest hiding Microsoft services unless you’re confident, it’s easy to break something and they’re unlikely to be causing that.

essell@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Study finds no “smoking gun” for mental health issues due to Internet usage15·2 years agoThe reason is because of the bias in the studies themselves.
For example, there’s more studies showing that internet addiction is bad for teenagers because more studies have been run on teenagers.
Addiction of any kind of harmful to all age groups. The ways in which it impacts people depends on their life circumstances. For example, older people are more likely to lose a job or a marriage due to addiction than a teenager is, that’s not because of the nature of their addiction.
The simplest explanation is that some teenagers are depressed or otherwise struggling and turn to social media and internet because that’s what they have to help them cope. It’s a natural correlation, this study is saying that we don’t have the evidence to imply causation.
It’s easy for some people, especially those unfamiliar with online activities and particularly those who don’t value online activity, to see the correlation and blame. This is really helpful as it means they can avoid addressing the cause of the initial depression.

I think the Ferengi we see have excellent teeth, by Ferengi standards. you can see they’ve working hard to look after them, rather than trying to look like hoomans.

essell@beehaw.orgto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•I've seen it said that TNG was centered around Picard, Riker, and Data like TOS was centered around Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. But I've always thought of TNG as an ensemble cast. Thoughts?English1·2 years agoThere’s heart of Glory, sins of the father, redemption & birthright for worf and his heritage I think. And parallels which is just about worf.
It’s not many unless I’m missing some.

But I think the big three you mention dominate the story lines as they’re running things whenever a story isn’t about a particular crew member
I been using android since version 2 and never encountered this. I guess it depends on the device a lot, as I’ve worked a lot in the mobile industry I’ve tended to have the more powerful devices.
Which makes sense, smart phones being small computers and all, the slower ones are slow sometimes and the faster ones tend to be faster.
Androids diversity has always been it’s strength and weakness
