S-Mode = A lock on the OS for installing software other than things from the Microsoft Store. Low end laptops will usually have this feature enabled.

RTD System = Resistance Temperature Detection. Basically, just a thermometer hooked up to a laptop via wireless transmitter and receiver for temperature monitoring.

That's cool, didn't know that.

I did buy my parents a new desktop though since this is a Christmas thread and we are chatting about computers. It's a solid-state hard drive. It's a major upgrade from their 2011 computer.

My daughter got me this:

^ Times two, Mindfulness: a nice mini-sculpture, indicative of Plankton's physique I pressume.

(And yes, to judge by the photo of the ingredients, that egg-nog looks pretty powerful.)

Happy Christmas to you both and to everyone on MB.

I actually have the Beatles' Christmas album (probably a bootleg). It's interesting how they went from basically just being young clowns, to being more experimental to actually sending separate greetings at the end (Hearing John and Yoko singing to each other is always a hoot).

Tried to see if I could find the original 1967 message (Christmas Time Is Here Again), but the only thing I could find is some mash up with the Beach Boys (or at least a band that sounds like the Beach Boys). It's a lot more than what you here on Anthology though.

Christmas Time Is Here Again.

Yep, that's the one I was looking for. They don't have that on YouTube for some reason.

Well, you may or may not be able to go back to the previous post and listen to it,
since it has a block on it, but you can try.
