Pseudo Christians

Pseudo-Christians reject this gospel from James 2: What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?  Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Indeed someone might say,  “You have faith and I have works.” Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works. Pseudo-Christians also say their thoughts and prayers are with you, but Satan is behind their words, because they choose mammon over God every time.

Don't Buy Lenovo Computers

Support for Lenovo computers is abominable. Drivers are updated infrequently if at all, my HP and Dell computers have driver updates at least every couple of months; The IdeaPad has had updates twice in the year and a half I owned the computer. When I try to update the BIOS, the installation asks if I've updated the Intel Optane driver, giving a version number which you can't cut and pate to anything. Isn't that supposed to be taken care of by the support tool, called Lenovo Vantage.And a search on Google gets no hits. I have no idea if Intel even supports the modules I've got in the computer; it was released back when Optane was first announced.

New iPhone

Well, I sprung for the new iPhone 11 Pro Max. Hope it lives up to the hype. It's about the same size as the old iPhone 7 Plus, but better battery life and a superior camera, which I'll mostly use for concerts. So far I'm pleased with everything but the setup time. The new phone wouldn't connect to the MBP i have and the Apple tech had me reboot the MBP to see if the reboot would solve the problem. It did, but I had flashback to similar problems on Windows. Apple software quality certainly isn't up to the standards of even a few years ago. I have a iMac desktop that can't run any meaningful number of windows in Safari; doing so causes the graphics card to go insane and eventually cause a kernel panic. Too bad, because I really like the workflow Safari has which aren't duplicated in other browsers. For now, I'll use Brave Browser and Firefox.

UPS Screws Up Again (Up yours , GuitarFetish)

Why is it that delivery services can't do deliveries? UPS failed to make a delivery, the driver said I wasn't home for the delivery, which is a load of shit. My security cameras never registered any activity in the timeframe the driver said it tried. Note I said it, even fucking cats and dogs are caught my the cameras (yeah MULTIPLE cameras). I also didn't get any yellow delivery notice like UPS said I was supposed to get. So now I have to wait for delivery a second day. And if I don't get it, I'm filing a police report for stolen goods. Not that the fucking pigs will do anything about it. GutarFetish (Guitarfetish .com) has lost me as a customer, I don't deal with companies that screw up. The guitar better be alright, considering that UPS has ample time to bash the item around.
