FIrefox was sloooooowwwwwwwiiiiinnnnnngggggg down on me so I went to Chrome on my Win-10 box Edge .. Scares me, turns out Microsoft tracks, So does Google but Google tracks no matter what browser you use so might as well make it easy fo r'em. (I use Edge for one site but .. well 192.168.x.y/stuff is not a site Microsoft can track (That is another comptuer in my Local net).
THen .. I decided I needed a 2nd comnputer.. SO I got a cheap a.. Chromebook.
You ermember setting up windows 10 (Pack a lunch)
Well here is the job with a chromebook
Go to Denny's (Good wi-fi)
Place order
Take CB out of box and turn it on (Charge battery first)
By the time your order arrives you will be all set up and browsing, I kid you know
First thing it ask is demographics (ENglish/other, keyboard) and for a Wi-Fi Node (Denny's 5G)
Then if needed it will ask for a PSK (Did that here at "home")
Then it ask for my Google User Name (Primary E-Mail address, not one I give out)
And password (Pass*word is NOT may password).
Then it configured and even downloaded my Chrome bookmarks file which the win-10 box uploaded.
So for some time I ran it next to the win-10 box
Then it gave me a scare (no power) so I got another, set it up (only difference is the restaurant, again it was configured before the order arrived). and then the origial started working again.
Now I do the same internet run by using both Chromebooks, and find 2 hours of "nap time" in the afternoon I did not used to have.. They are that much faster.
Only issue is neither chrome book has a lot of storage so I have to move files from the CB to the Win-10 box for long term storage (Recipies, instruction manuals and the like, also some programs do not run on Chrome So I still have the Win-10 box. it's turned off, sitting under this Chrome book at the moment.
