I’m sorry to say I tried this and it worked.
- Comment on Protect your PC 1 week ago:
Thanks. It was actually F12, I managed to catch it for the split second it showed; for some reason it doesn’t always show the commands when I switch it on.
This is what I got. Do I just select Ubuntu? Image
Ideally I’d like the selection menu to show, but Windows as the one to start if I don’t choose anything.

I found an old picture of what my boot screen used to look like. If I wanted to do it via bcedit, what would my command line be? Sorry for being so clueless, I’m just really scared I’ll brick my PC completely.

I have no idea how to do this, but I’ll keep looking for a tutorial. Luckily I only use my Linux for storing my music. I wish I could have got my art software to work on Linux, they just don’t seem to want to cooperate.
- Comment on Protect your PC 1 week ago:
My Linux is on a separate hard drive.

Never mind that, Windows 10 did an update a couple of days ago, and now my dual boot screen has gone. I literally can’t start my Linux Mint anymore, it boots straight to Windows :(
There is a way to get it back with the command line, but my computer nerd days are over.

I’m assuming that command needs to be edited to whatever my setup is, I have no idea.

My nephew has moss growing out of his bike saddle.
- Comment on 'They don’t have enough’ – schools in England are running food banks for families as millions struggle to feed their children, researcher says 2 months ago:
Every time I hear the phrase trickle down, I just get images of Liz Truss weeing on the rest of us.
- Comment on Suella Braverman pranked into collecting ‘D*** of the year’ award 6 months ago:
These are the same guys who gave Katie Hopkins that marvellous award for national unity, right? Good times!
- Comment on UK retailers face weak demand and a barrage of increased costs 6 months ago:
That reminds me, this month is my three year Amazon-free anniversary and I don’t miss it one bit. And I used to be the type of person who would immediately go to Amazon the moment I needed anything.
I recently watched Louis Rossman’s video on the decline of Amazon, and man I’m glad I don’t use it anymore. That channel 4 documentary was interesting too, how easily he could game the system.
I agree, give them a general gift card like one4all or love2shop. Don’t be sending more people Amazon’s way, you’re just adding to the problem.
Also if your employer has one of those discount schemes with other retailers, look it doesn’t matter if it’s just 6%, claim it. It adds up.

Rishi doesn’t hang around with working class people, remember. Who else could he invite?
- Comment on Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women 9 months ago:
That’s what allowed Saville to get away with it for so long.
- Comment on YouTube starts verifying health workers in the UK 9 months ago:
I don’t really get health advice from YouTube, but yeah, it would be useful for those who do. It just won’t be any help for those who actually want to be misinformed, sadly.
- Comment on YouTube starts verifying health workers in the UK 9 months ago:
Sounds good on paper, but with half my family believing that covid is caused by 5G, I can tell you, all this will do is make them see anyone verified as “brainwashed sheep” and they’ll continue to get their advice from charlatans.
- Comment on Rice Purity Test, my score is 67. How about yours? 10 months ago:
As an ace, I *ahem* aced this test.
It’s a dumb test anyway. The very act of having a baby would make you some kind of moral degenerate according to this. I’ll stick to idrlabs, at least their tests are fun!
- Comment on What has gone wrong at Wilko? 10 months ago:
It’d be a shame. I like to pick up my bird food from there (they’re one of the few shops that sell budgie seed that isn’t padded out with wheat).
Back when I was a kid, going to Wilko was the highlight of our summer visits to our grandparents’ house in the Midlands. The stationery section was like wonderland for me, with my 20p a week pocket money.
You can imagine how happy we were when they expanded to London. Their stationery is still pretty decent.
I feel for the workers. I went through this twice already when both my previous employers went into administration. Luckily I found something better and better paid each time. I hope it’s the same for them.
- Comment on A quarter of Brits want a ban on fake grass 11 months ago:
That looks great! Thanks for sharing that. Now I have to see if the UK has these.
