HOW MANY HOURS FOR A VIRUS SCAN? AKA WINDOWS DEFENDER BLOWS

Windows Defender for Windows 10 rates up there with the best for protection these days. However, take it to Microsoft to make an A.V. that takes most of the day to scan the hard drive. 188 GB used space is not a great deal these days. Just think about the people who have 5TB of stuff to sift through - the dang thing would have to be run before you left on a 2 week vacation and then might be at 80% when you got home.

I am only using it because the one that comes with my internet provider sucks resources like crazy - but it's done scanning the entire drive in 25 minutes. Maybe it's analyzing all the naked selfies I've taken and saved to the drive? I know it's looking to see if I have any bootleg programs installed - but still... DANG.

Not to mention the amount of resources it sucks while it's installing a Windows 10 update makes you think you have a virus (thus the scan). Would be actually nice if it told you it was installing an update so you did not have to wonder why the hell Word keeps stalling as you type. Is it too much to ask that if you're going to use 90% of the resources for 42 minutes you tell us your doing it?

I'm telling you if a Mac was not the price of a good used car and it actually ran the stuff I want to use, I'd switch. Windows is getting good at losing the confidence of it's market.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
