If you're not going to take it anywhere, a laptop with a 15" screen would give you more screen space for working on documents or spreadsheets. I'd recommend going with an 11th gen Intel CPU. It was a big bump in graphics performance and battery life over the 10th, and if you're going to keep it...

Also think about whether you want to bring it different places of if it will just stay home all the time. If you're on the go with it, you'd want something lighter weight with better battery life, but if it stays at home you could get a larger screen and more power.

I understand the logic behind it, but how effective is a lineup full of platoon guys in the age of openers? Your platoon advantages get blown up by the second half of the game.

So the very early returns aren't showing much difference for the new ball.

That's why I asked the question. I don't know what your factors or risk scales are. If you're not willing to go to the park fully vaccinated at 1/8 capacity, when would you?

If both of you are fully vaccinated, at what point would you feel it's "safe" to go back? Everything I've read says there hasn't been a single Covid fatality for people who have finished their vaccine cycle. All COVID vaccines stop severe illness and death. Take what's offered. (usatoday.com)...

Right click on the Start button and choose Computer Management. Services under "Services and Applications" on the left side. If it's SysMain that's causing the CPU usage, you can try stopping/disabling that rather than messing with Windows Updates if that's working correctly. Here's a site...

Which "Service Host?" It should say Service Host: XXXXX. My guess is the Installer Service and you have a Windows Update that's stuck. If that's the case, go to Computer Management > Services and stop Windows Update. Then delete the entire C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ directory. Reboot and...

When Chrome is closed and you go to Task Manager, what's at the top when you sort by CPU? There's some task that's stuck. The specs on your computer are quite good. An i7 from a few generations ago shouldn't be taxed like that all the time.

It's much more likely Chrome is messed up in some way. Have you checked your extensions in there to see what you have? You should remove anything you don't recognize and disable anything you don't think you need. You could also try using new Edge for a bit to see if that makes a difference. It's...

When you go to Task Manager and sort things by CPU, what comes up with the highest CPU load? Your computer overall should be under 5% almost all the time and then burst to higher amounts when you do stuff, so sticking at over 50% is not right and completely explains the constant fan noise.

If you can connect via VNC, you can connect via Remote Desktop. I can't imagine how a VPN connection would block one but not the other. You'll get much, much smoother graphical performance out of it as well. Your company's IT department really should have set up a trust relationship between the...

When the work desktop and your personal computer are both on your home network, there shouldn't be any issue. You can RDP to it directly without any VPN, by hostname if your router is doing its job or by IP address if it's not. At that point you can establish the VPN connection on the work...

I hope Aramark is working with Madrigal to make Franch dipping sauce available at Fenway.

The 7 inning double headers aren't being used for speeding up the game. They're keeping them so that Covid-related make up games can be completed without tearing through two pitching staffs. Even if they were playing at 1984 speeds, you wouldn't have the arms to get through multiple double...

You'd actually be using a 3.1 setup if you have a FR, FL, Center, and sub. I used to have a pretty substantial floor standing Boston Acoustics setup from around 20 years ago before I got married and moved into a place that didn't have space for it. I ended up replacing the speakers with Axiom...

The Spink Award is no more. BBWAA to remove J.G. Taylor Spink's name from writing award - The Athletic I literally knew nothing at all about J.G. Taylor Spink other than that his name was on the writers' award before this story broke. Spink is a cool name and fun to say, but there's no reason...

I noticed much more temporary image retention with my old plasma than my new OLED (I have the BX and not the CX, but they have identical panels). So far old emulated arcade games haven't been any issue at all. I found this site when I was researching the TV, which showed how difficult it was to...

For reference, this is when the regular season started and ended for the Red Sox.... 1960, the last year of 154 games April 18 - October 2 1970, second year of the LCS April 7 - September 30 1980 April 10 - October 5 1990 April 9 - October 3 2000 April 4 - October1 2010 April 4 - October 3...

All of those guys are still in the museum part, just like Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe. They just don't have plaques in that one room.
