TURNING ON ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT FOR WINDOWS 10

Well it may become handy to activate the Administrator account on Windows 10 at some point in time. Being that the account is not on by default (even when it says your administrator, you're not). You have to turn it on at the command line level.

Turn on administrator account
Right click windows logo and run PowerShell as administrator
Type: net user administrator /active:yes

Turn off administrator account
Right click windows logo and run PowerShell as administrator
net user administrator /active:no

    Do I have to do that every time I boot?

SHAW BLUECURVE GATEWAY REVIEW AND THEN SOME

Image
  Speed tests are on the left. My shinny new A50 did the worst it seems. The PC was wired so it went blazing fast. The old S7 did darn good. I got to say the installation was a nightmare. They want you to set it all you yourself and there is no documentation. There is a shinny app you can waste memory with or enter the IP to get it set up - either will work. If you want the app, use it from the start, don't try and use it after use used the browser to set up the gateway. First off the lettering on the bottom of the modem is not friendly to my eyes. The other thing is, there is a vast amount of information on the bottom, so it was hard to pick out. Being the cable was too short to pick it up to eye level, I had to take a photo to see the password and so on. This was problematic as where I have it is low to the ground and I'm disabled and it hurt me a lot to squat down to do that. If I had thought of it - I'd have just written it all down when I took it out of the box

Speaking of Gift Cards

Image
I do surveys on a site known to a lot of Canadians that is run by a well known and rather old research group. It took me 2.5 years to get enough points for a $25 gift card. I redeem my points and it tells me "it will take up to 4 weeks for your egfit-card to be emailed to you". Dude... it's electronic, this should be like "it will be there tomorrow" at best, so what is doing to take 4 weeks? Like seriously. It's like a money transfer, it should be a couple minutes at best but can take up to 8 working days. I thought computers where supposed to be fast these days. Man, I want my Amazon credit so I can order some freaking chocolate. Don't stand between a fat person and candy!

Zulay Moka Pot I Just Got

Image
My shinny new Moka coffee maker. It's made by Zulay. At only $22.99 it was a great buy. Seriously it makes great coffee to say the least. 9/10 rating from me BTW. This is the coffee I used for my first batch with the new maker. OMG it's so yummy. You really don't get much for the $6 you pay for this at the store, but it's just such high quality coffee, it's amazing. Here is the nice cup of coffee I got from it. So rich and a great color. It was so much stronger than any other home made coffee I've ever had. So robust. I enjoyed the experience a lot. Even listening to the maker bubbling away was enjoyable. This is in the top 20 purchases of my life for fun value.

3 RANDOM BLURBS FROM MY WEEK

Image
It was warm the last couple days, so I been enjoying the warmth. Went out yesterday and had a great coffee with my friends and enjoyed myself a lot. Also had a fish n chips, that left my tummy not liking me - it was too greasy . Luxury booze, a nice 6.5% IPA beer, and 2 30% "moon shine" flavored drinks, one coffee and one chocolate. The coffee one was a lot nicer. The IPA was delicious. Early morning sky out my window the other day. The moon visible in the sky. Later the clouds thickened and it was not as nice, but as the sun was coming up it did look kind of nice with the moon and all.
