Altho today felt good. My old company I've been with for 4 months so- it cut costs, paid low but it doesnt mean I'm formally terminated...? Anyway, after gotten a new house, I got another job that meets my needs. My employer called me in the middle of doing errands today. So I'm on hold 2 jobs but doing one. 😺 What a smooth sailing, got a house before a job and a job thats near my home. Welcoming the Oct slightly better than Sept after losing my aunt.
A bit overwhelmed. Got my new laptop and it's setting up. It asked me if I wanted to restore apps from backup and I said yes, but am now worried what happens to apps that only have a 1 device licence?! Like, do they stop working on the previous laptop. It had been my plan to migrate slowly to the new one as I'm so familiar with the old one's setup (even the keyboard and touchpad feel different.). I also weirdly feel like I'm betraying my old laptop as it has provided years of service despite being dropped numerous times. Then again the fan keeps making a crunching sound and the battery is dead so it might only be a matter of time.... But still I feel a bit guilty LOL. On the plus side I seem to have Mcafee installed but a free version of Norton in the box, which seems like a good thing but leads to more decisions. Right the new one is setup, time to have a look. Sending much love to everybody.
Well it's transferred my web stuff (I am on the new one now!). Could only transfer things from Microsoft Store so now I have a bunch of shortcuts on taskbar that don't actually work. I never trust these automated processes because I don't know what they're doing - this is a perfect example! The keyboard seems to be a bit more responsive. Feeling apprehensive but persevering!
Disappointed. The new laptop was comparable to my old laptop in every way - boot up, speed etc. However for me the screen has ruined it. On my old laptop the colours are deep and rich, well contrasted (like on this site I can clearly see the grey background and the white text areas. On the new laptop everything looks washed out - like no matter how I fiddle with settings, my cat avatar just doesn't look right. I'm sure I'd get used to over time if I had to. Unfortunately I've decided the new one will be the spare until this one packs up completely or the keyboard goes again, as I just prefer the screen on this one. So glad I didn't pay nearly £500 for the new one - in that kind of range I'd expect a display that was better than a laptop from 3 years ago. Oh well, I have a spare for when this one goes, but for now I'm sticking with old familiar here! (the old one is definitely running a bit warmer so the fan is on its way out, but I'll get as much out of it as I can!!)
