I made too many pancakes today. I need to wait to finish mine.
Not many suggestions for the new thread title yet. We're running out of time.

NonComplaint: No snow here on the NC Outer Banks. The predicted 2 to 3 inches of snow all came as rain instead.
I hope Dana and McGyver and all the other Northeast forumites are surviving the winter storm.
The forums were unresponsive and unrealistically unreachable.
Complaint: The forum is still winking into the void far too often.
Non-complaint: I received the TPM security device for my BabyBear computer and finally managed to get it installed and enabled.
Complaint: I removed the SSD system drive from BabyBear and disconnected all other drives. I put in a brand new SSD for testing but I still can't get Windows11 to install.
Although, I really shouldn't be surprised. None of the official ASUS lists identifying Win11 compatible ASUS motherboards showed my specific motherboard as being compatible. I found the TPM header on the motherboard, I finally found the right TPM device for a reasonable cost, I installed the device and after some BIOS tomfoolery and a couple of reboots, was able to assure myself that it was running on the TPM module and not in firmware. So now all smug I try to install Win11 on a new SSD and it starts but quickly says "Win11 can not run on this machine". I've tried using the different drive partitioning scheme other than MBR and that prevented the installation even earlier giving an error "Cannot write to <xxx> partitions, use MBR".
What am I missing?
What is the reason the motherboard does not support Win11? Can it be fixed with BIOS (already got the latest)? I haven't found a really good app or installer that tells you exactly why it's failing. They must know. They're going down a long checklist and giving up without saying exactly what it didn't like. If anybody knows of a proper diagnostic app for Win11 readiness let us know.
Sigh, 'puters! I'm so glad that I don't have to deal with more than my handful anymore.
Non-complaint: Wheee... delivery pizza just came. Mmmmm... pizza!
I ate a cupcake.

I finally have a complaint I feel like telling somebody. I actually have a lot of those. But this one is about how when you get to the last promo picture, it just cycles back to the first one instead of stopping. Now it takes me some time to figure out I've gotten to the last one and I'm back at the beginning.

That's how I feel right now.
Or "The 'Scotty, beam me up' Complaint thread".
I need another box for my ever-expanding Spice Girls Collection. I wish this house was bigger. I'd have a few more bookcases to display stuff. I could also do with getting a box for my craft stuff.
Urgh. Another 160GB to go before the last of my Daz stuff is loaded onto the External HDD...
I've got to convert another character to 8.1. It's a pity that there aren't converters for somethings (e.g. texture conversion without faffing around with the PBR Skin Iray Shader).
Non-rant: "Captain Pudge" is here!
I only went outside once...and I bundled up for it. I had to uncover one of the vents to the gas furnace, it was completely covered in snow. No harm indoors, but it was probably just a matter of time.
Dana
I want French toast but don't have enough syrup complaint!
...yes

Non-complaint: I love this little snippet from composer Antonin Dvorak.
It's a scene from the movie "Allegro Non Troppo". A knockoff parody of Disney's "Fantasia".
I like several of the cartoon scenes in that movie but the live parts suck royal swamp water. Foreign comedy, not funny.
The Dvorak Slavic Dance #7 is a lively little piece illustrated by a poignant comment on human nature.
Where did they get the umbrella and mallet?
My plan is to store stuff vertically instead of on the ground. There's just too much vertical space not being used for anything.
....heh, love that film.
Does anyone remember MoviePass?
And yet another +1
The Happy $#&@% New Year Complaint Thread
I hope Misty is okay thread?
I am thinking of making up a sport called football.
I think a game of "footbowl" might be interesting. No shoes, one big hole in the ball, arms tied behind your back.
Hmmm... where's McGyver? Snowed in, and powerless?
Complaint: Grrr... still working on my TPM secure boot issues on my "BabyBear" machine although I did finally find an article that seems to have some good, specific advice for my particular board. It seems to indicate that it can work, but so far not for me.

I've figured out how to get the Microsoft Win11 readiness tool downloaded and report all status issues instead of just "Go", "noGo".
Also, again I've found a reference that says that secureboot, at least for Win11, requires the other partitioning technology ("GPT" that uses UEFI tech, not legacy MBR tech), so when I get the energy and smoke out some of this frustration I'll try emptying and re-initializing my SSD and tinker with the BIOS some more. I'm determined to beat this TPM issue.
Well, to be more accurate, my TPM2.0 device is reported as recognized and working as are all the other Win11 requirements. But I still need to tweak up my "SecureBoot" mechanism.
I hid some shelled peas into my aquarium and my fish went crazy.
...hearing someone with decades of experience like yourself having issues, hoping I don't have the same happen when I finally upgrade my system..
...The Windows 11 TPM Blues Complaint Thread.
I hope I can find out the blues of windows 11 soon!
I hate BIOS. Scared of it i guess. I'm expecting things to go BOOM if I even open it. I have panic attacks updating it if I have to.
