Too bad its generic I guess. The cynic in me says that's why it doesn't get the interest it deserves
it sounds like it would be great for bunkers
Printer drivers rarely if ever come in MSI format. They most commonly use self extracting exe archive.
This seems like a non sequitur.

Are you arguing non technical people should have root access to company owned and managed PCs? Because I can tell you from experience, that will result in a very bad time at some point. Even if it is just for the single end user and not the wider org.
Yep. The whole fake frames thing seems like a witch hunt to me. If you can actually get a 5090 and were previously fully utilising a 3090 or 4090, it is a significant upgrade, as long as it doesn't burn your house down.

I was lucky to get in early and buy a lifetime perpetual account, otherwise I probably wouldn't still use it.

Getting a 5090 for $5090 would be an absolute steal where I live

You can disassemble and replace mouse switches quite easily and very cheaply if you already own a soldering iron and some basic tools - mouse switch failure is the typical reason for misclick double click problem
Its not even that. They say its more complicated but it's basically the exact same thing. Registry entry's are arguably the windows equivalent of a Mac os plist.
Quite the critique.

Not to mention the most sophisticated cheats are now running on second computers
There is : the end user allows side loading from their preferred app, such as f-droid. Am I missing something?
What is $112k worth in 2476BC, adjusted for inflation? ;)
They removed that now too. You can choose domain join on pro version to create a local account
No, you can shift + f10 for cmd and run shutdown.exe /r /t 0

Re:Sudo for Windows on Friday February 09, 2024 @07:56PM (#39322376)
Yeah I tend to use both. For some more involved scripting sometimes the verbose command proper names are nice as it reads better, but the short names are nice when hacking

Born in the 80s and this is basically my experience too, although I guess I got my first mobile somewhere in highschool, but it was only a 5110 - relatively primitive. I do fondly remember having to memorise land line numbers, and potentially navigate parents of friends or romantic interests when the call got answered.
My political candidate does things in good faith, but the opposing political candidate only ever does things in bad faith. Right guys!?
Re:Valve releases Counter-Strike 2 on Wednesday September 27, 2023 @06:56PM (#37682605)
Sorry, but there was no Diablo release. I think you have mistaken a Diablo mobile game clone banking on brand recognition for an actual release.
