Comment Makes sense (Score 1) 70

It really makes sense due to the constant stress. I think about everything all at once all day long. It makes it hard to remember any one thing and that stresses me out. I constantly worry that I forgot something while being angry at myself for forgetting something. I am constantly on the go and don't rest enough. I do stupid things for a dopamine hit instead of doing things that are healthy. That has to take it's toll. Such is the life of a spicy brain.

CSV is for interoperability and reportability regardless of how inefficient or stupid it is. We get software that simply can't read Excel format and Excel cannot read their format either. That or we hit the Excel row limit and it breaks their analysis. We have to use something else to port it due to the end-user not caring that it's dumb. They want Excel. They hate HTML, PDFs, XML, JSON, small datasets, or whatever. We do what we have to do to meet the requirements and get paid. Bad requirements drive bad software choices. I overrun the row limit in Excel and get yelled at for not being able to "fix that" daily for their precious trillion line export that no human should deal with. I get tired of saying "a python script can do it better and automatically" and getting "but our jobs! we have to do it by hand because computers mess up!" So, CSV it is.....

I have the same laptop and upgraded to Windows 10. The only snag was the Intel Graphics driver/Nvidia driver issue.

A quick google and voila:

1 – After installing Windows 10, go to the following Dell’s homepage:
http://www.dell.com/support/ho...
On the topic View all available updates for Windows , and click on Choose Your OS
A list of drivers will appear.
2 – Select BIOS – do the download of the file and excecute it. You have to upgrade the BIOS firmware.
Your machine will restart (it will take a little time)
After restart, if you access Device Manager on Control Panel, you’ll see that Windows 10 now recognize your video card.
3 – On the same link over, download the graphics driver (Intel HD 3000/2000 Graphics Driver) and excecute it.
Do the same with nVIDIA GeForce GT 525M/GT540M Graphics Driver
5 – After that, access Device Manager on Control Panel, right click over the nVIDIA GeForce GT 525M/GT540M Graphics Driver and choose Update Driver..
