That... doesn't make sense. The Windows NT line changed the way hardware and drivers interacted with a new Hardware Abstraction Layer, so a WinME driver wouldn't load in Win11.

Additionally, Win7 changed it so that drivers require certification and signature, which I could guess the certification would come in grandfathered, but the signature certainly wouldn't be there for a WinME driver.

Why even complain about a 300kb driver sitting in System/SysWOW64, as it isn't going to reside in RAM until the actual device is plugged in... so it's actually a good thing to keep. I'm glad they don't act as the arbiter of what is too old and force people to purchase new hardware when the old stuff still works.

Your usage of city and their usage of city differs.

They are talking about cities like Cameron with a declining population not even hitting 1,000.

Yeah, I don't know what defines a city. I'm guessing each state has it's own definition based on population.

I'd personally call less than 1,000 a village.

You should be able to use dd to create bootable device. Ubuntu has a guide, just replace their iso with yours: scroll all the way down to Using the Linux command line

Yeah... I have to sheepishly raise my hand as one of those people, previously. I finally converted last year because Valve was taking too long.

My justification in waiting was that Valve (being behind Proton) would have a vested interest in making sure that support was top-notch, and not just best effort like you find in some of those niche gaming distros.

Wow! That's not even listed on their Amazon storefront.

Thank you so much!

I have an antique AUKEY that has been limping by for quite a while now, and that's exactly what I need. Ordering it now.

every Viofo I've checked had WiFi + app. Even the cheap ones.

It's an impossible ask. Even the cheap $20 imports require an app to set them up.

Privacy nightmare on multiple fronts, given the latest wifi/bluetooth scanning revelation.

Got a link? I'm actually in the market for a replacement and have had no luck finding a simple device.

I looked at the terms of service and noticed that they bind you into arbitration, limit your terms to $100, mandate you to travel to Delaware for dispute, and force you into mass arbitration if your dispute is similar to others.

Pass

I still don't get how telemetry is even legal.

If I purchase a vehicle from a previous owner, I do not have any agreement with the manufacturer regarding collection of my data.

I'm afraid to find out how many people are still downloading OpenOffice, thinking it's the same software they heard about back in 2010.

At that age I figured out that I could bypass the policy restrictions on my computer by unplugging the Ethernet cable right after login. Gave me full local admin.

A year or so prior to that I figured out that if you viewed IE's temporary internet files and just backspaced your way up, you can access the otherwise restricted C:, where I found other kids had already installed games onto.

No way this works for a full school year.

The heart skip when an rm command runs longer than expected.

It was supposed to patch Secure Boot, not demolish GRUB.

That's why it's a problem.

The "we know better than you" attitude Microsoft has. They've very slowly removed more and more power user functionality. Almost every customization has to be hacked in with a group policy or registry edit now, or by outright replacing explorer.exe

I love how the arstechnica article words it like you will never need FAT32 and it's silly to consider it.

I had to download fat32format I don't know how many times because I needed to format an extra large SD Card or USB drive for some device. Microsoft really shafted exFAT's adoption with their licensing.

No, after Brave installed a service level running VPN without my consent, and continued to reinstall it silently every background update even after removal, it's a bad browser. That's what malware does.

Comparing two companies with poor track records doesn't make them good companies when compared to each other.

Forgive my ignorance, but an apartment where the landlord is removed and people just pay building maintenance is... a condominium, no?
