I feel that it is still worthwhile to complete that Masters Degree, somehow - online or some other means.

Not possible!
First, the university I am doing masters from charges you a lot of money. Second, I still have course work to take with thesis which means I won't graduate anytime soon than a year and with no online option and me moving to some other country, that won't work.

My daughter had a calico female named Cali. She wasn't the most graceful of cats, having a tendency to fall off things. Naturally old dad here gave her the nickname Cali-Whumpus .
Sadly, calicos are genetic 'sports' and tend not to live as long. Cali passed at 5 from kidney failure.

Dingbats, ding-dongs, and ding-a-lings are unequal and valueless members of our communities. How dare you presume to place no limits on entities' SJW-given right to declare themselves as whatever they wish?

I'm a foolhardy person that will apply Windows 10 updates when they come out. Sometimes they are little patchy things and sometimes whompers. I have always had my laptop set to generate dump files, do not turn off power to usb devices, etc.
So this morning, came downstairs to be greeted by a BSOD. So, I reboot, go look for the DMP file. Not there. Hmm, check my system protection settings (you know the very useful system restore?) - disabled. On a whim, checked my power settings - all of my USB devices will now be managed. This is bad, because I have many usb devices that I use to talk to embedded hardware. I know I have turned off this setting.
Any of you seen the same behavior? I think I'm losing it.

I'm with you. After running windows for over 25 years I moved to Linux about 1 year ago and it's really all been very good.
Updates are very smooth too -- I hope it continues to be that way.

That's what one of my peers said when I got one recently. It seems about a recent update.
But I am still too attached to Windows. I actually have a dual boot with MX Linux, which I haven't actually used, WSL2 is probably putting the nail on that coffin.

I'll have to take a look at the link you posted. I think it's criminal that suddenly system restore points are disabled and Microsoft pushes out a turd update. I'm just a user, but God, if you're like an MSVP or whatever white night they call you, do you not feel dirty or a little embarrased?
I just updated to 2004, nothing else changed and by magic I have BSODs out the wazoo? Having been through this before, I know it's the damn update.
John, I wish I could go to linux, I do.

My son has a Ryzen 9 running at 3.5GHz[^] but yesterday he said he noticed it was running at somewhere around 1GHz.
I said, "You're running Win10, right? (I run Ubuntu) It was probably some update or something."
He checked his BIOS, etc and then noticed that Win10 had removed a driver for his chipset and replaced it with an older one.
He installed the new chipset drivers again and it was running at 3.5GHz again. Win10
