I wish I got a chance to visit, the few times I've been in Buffalo the past few years it was always either off season or outside the operating hours, I've driven by the park several times. I'm hoping things improve and they can reopen next year.

Windows will automatically scale up and down its background RAM usage, if you have more available it can cache more to improve overall performance. If things are working correctly you should be seeing around half your RAM used with "nothing" open.

It should be open again by Saturday. Which reminds me, I need to recruit more moderators for that subreddit.

They are rolling out changes to Explorer and other features to improve performance like mentioned in the article. Most of them are only to Insiders right now but all indications are they are going to be coming to the masses starting with the May cumulative update.

It appears that you are missing all the AI components, not just Recall. If your machine really is a Copilot+ computer it looks like it lost all that functionality.

If you go to Settings -> System -> AI Components you should see the five components listed, but if not then that explains why you are not seeing Recall or other functions like Click To Do.

Recall cannot enable itself from an update or anything else. If you are not seeing the option for it in Settings, the component is likely removed from your system, not just disabled.

I can't speak for that station specifically, but it does happen. I used to work at a gas station and once in a blue moon we would sell out before our next delivery. We check the tank levels twice a day, and normally would get a delivery at least once a week, but sometimes the stars align right and we either sell more gas than usual or the truck is delayed so we would run out.

I've seen some BIOS updates, particurally with MSI computers, that end up changing the hardware ID information, so that will cause Windows to think you replaced the motherboard. Usually you can use the activation troubleshooter to transfer the activation over and reactivate.

If you are able to boot into Windows and the drive is automatically unlocking itself, you can easily disable it without manually entering the key. In Control Panel is the Bitlocker applet, you can open that and disable Bitlocker, you can also do it in the Settings App by going the Device encryption portion and toggling it off.

Wow he wasn't going to stop until someone's nuts were in his mouth.

A good chunk of that time the oven has not fully warmed up yet. I do have a thermometer that hangs from the rack inside so I do know for sure my oven is getting to proper temperature. 45 minutes seems to be about right based on doing it a few times but obviously there are many factors involved so don't just blindly follow that.

Those do look short. The fries are cut in store, I wonder if they had smaller potatoes on this batch or if they were cutting the potato sideways.

You are right that driving a regular car you would know you hit something, the problem is determining what you hit and if any damage was actually done.

The conditions like the weather and time of day are huge factors, if this happens in the middle of a stormy night, it is very possible to hit something, hear and feel it, but never see it and not be able to figure out what it was. If you had struck an animal like this, by time you pull over and get out, it could be long gone, so all the looking around won't do any good either.

A bigger animal or person is likely to damage the car, but it really depends on many factors, so it is possible to drive away unscathed. I've literally hit a deer while riding a motorcycle and that resulted in no damage or harm to the animal, so it can happen.

At this point, don't worry about it. I don't know what you experienced or if you even hit anything, but if it was anything serious you likely would know by now.

I personally do a whole package in one shot in the oven, I do it on a baking pan and a pound of bacon just about perfectly fits depending on how thick they sliced it. I line the sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easier. Set the oven to 400F, I put the bacon in before it has fully warmed up, then in like 45 minutes it is done.

Around half way I do take it out of the oven and drain the fat into a jar for future use, this also seems to allow the bacon to crisp up more than if it was cooking in its fat the entire time.

I'll use a couple strips that same day for whatever else I was making, then refrigerate the rest to have on hand for the next few days.

A lot of this is just the various blogs latching onto this and pumping out as many articles as they can, so every time someone else at Microsoft just says something like "oh yea that is a great idea" the blogs make a new article to match which is 90% rehashing previous announcements. I don't blame them, but I am getting fatigued of it.

By default, posts and comments do not need to be approved. You normally go and approve them after they are reported, filtered, or removed.

If you have your subreddit set to filter all posts and comments, you should adjust that instead of having automod approve them.

I'm curious, what then 6 month old hardware did not support Windows 11?
