In which the author complains substantially about Windows 11
SET 6 – Goodman/Getwell Kroger, Post-Remodel
So this is the first official set of descriptions coming to you from my new laptop… I wish I could say I like it more than I do, haha! The laptop itself seems perfectly fine and nice for the most part – it’s a Dell – but it’s dang Windows 11 that’s killing me. Windows 10 was *eons* better, and besides the obvious visual/graphical change of having to look at how Apple-y Windows 11 has become, it’s also had some quite annoying issues that have made me considerably upset. Most notably was how OneDrive was apparently automatically set to sync all files on the computer, such that when it started doing so after I spent all day transferring all my files over, my free measly amount of OneDrive storage was immediately subsumed and there was no way to disable the syncing once it was in progress, nor was there a way to revert my OneDrive to how it was before. Ultimately I ended up having to wipe my OneDrive totally clean and delete everything on there (hopefully nothing was important – guess I won’t be needing a resume again, lol)… which also deleted everything I had transferred onto the computer, making me start all over again with that process. Ugh!! Outrageously frustrating. Now, thankfully, I think I have it to where everything is saving only to my local drive on the laptop, which is exactly what I want. But I’m also annoyed that my external mouse seems to be lagging; sometimes it takes two or three left clicks for one of them to actually, finally go through. This same problem doesn’t appear to be happening if I use the laptop’s trackpad, but I like to use an external USB mouse for a reason… from what I’ve found online, it looks like others have been having this problem, too (and I know it’s not the mouse, because I’ve been using the same one for probably over a decade now). All of it’s just pretty frustrating and makes me wish Windows 10 was still a thing on new computers. 11 seems like a huge downgrade in a number of ways.
Anyway… you didn’t come here to hear me rant, you came here for photos, haha. So, let’s take a look at a few of those. This set brings us back to the Goodman/Getwell Kroger in Southaven, where we are looking at a few of the aisles towards the left-hand wall of the store in these first few pics. Many of these aisles represent subdepartments that are big enough to obtain their own secondary department signs, such as the Urban Mix-style “PET” sign which is shown here.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
