Brunch was cool, nice to get out for a bit. Came home and tidied up the kitchen and lounge and then felt tired. Am trying to do the VicRoads learner's permit course thing online and it's going ok so far, but I've come to the first tutorial and nothing was working. Tried my MILs laptop and it wasn't working on that either. Looked up what OS versions VicRoads supports and they only do current versions and the previous ones. My 4 yo android 11 phone was never going to cut it! MILs laptop is 3yo. Tried to see if it would update and there's none available anymore for that version ๐Ÿ™„ Nothing like a bit of built in obsolescence to spoil your day! Going to have to use Miniests laptop.. when she isn't using it!

Thankyou ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm almost โ…“ of the way through the online course; it's divided into 3 parts and there's a tutorial at the end of each part, before the actual test happens.

3 years old should at least be windows 10?

Nah they sold her a Chromebook. She doesn't really need windows, she just uses it for looking up cafes and restaurants and stuff.
