Dell Support Assist or the PC Doctor Module is a twat!

CPU gets rinsed.

Only just discovered it 😫😳 Lucky i never had any position open.

I used to have an XPS and one of the first things I did was delete the PC Doctor module. I really don't get the point of it at all other than to slow everything down !

Prime example of bloatware

When I buy a new computer I only boot it to check the OS has been activated and then I format the drive and reinstall only what I need.

Definitely the thing to do if buying off the shelf

Always amazes the amount of crap that's included on OS's

BJ's now prioritising the evacuation of animals over Afghans. Suggestion is his wife and animal rights campaigner is behind the decision.

I haven't followed this story very closely but my understanding was that he chartered the plane himself so imo he should have been allowed fly out with his animals and staff which I think was 68 Afghans plus the animals. So I suppose he's rescuing people as well as animals. If the UK government had such an issue with that and wanted to put people before animals like some official said then why didn't they supply or charter more planes?

I don't know if there's even a guarantee that he'll get all the people and animals to the airport safely.

There were photos circulating a few days ago of cars in a cargo hold, if they were genuine whoever ordered that needs a good flogging. Maybe the Taliban can help?!

I heard he was denied permission because the plane's leaving from Kabol airport and taking up a valuable slot, and they're not putting animals before people. Step forward Carrie (so it's been suggested)... U-turn literally in the middle of the night!

I reckon BJ didn't fancy sleeping on the couch. ;)

:lol: I was going to say something a bit more sordid but decided to refrain from doing so. It seems encouraging somebody else to do so is safer. :)

That's only because glass bottles have been banned from Parliament after the last bust-up. ;)

What really grinds my gears is those South American commentator goal celebrations after you've backed under 0.5! It's not so bad if it's the 1.5 or 2.5 but 0.5!! :x

As a trader I accept losses as part of the game but I could do without them being celebrated. I've never even understood how a neutral commentator can get so excited when either team scores.
:lol: disallowed this time - commentator's wasted his breath and I've still got my free bet on the under 0.5 with 8 minutes remaining. :D

I wish Betfair scrapped all these crap early-afternoon reserve matches. Half the time they don't go in-play and when they do nobody bets on them anyway!
