[quote who="naroon1" reply="93" id="3849433"] You may think MS as all powerful with ultimate power over how users work and play on there machines, i know plenty who would do something about that, i can not see that changing mate. [/quote] In the past several years heads have rolled at MS over fuck-ups....certainly nothing new there...the one-GUI-fits-all system was a fail, and a big one, probably helped with the demise of the Windows phone....so a shitload of money was lost

[quote who="naroon1" reply="76" id="3849241"] Do not worry Jafo, no enforced Star Wars in my home, Just plenty of very Cold Beer and a 30TB collection i seem to put more time into enhancing, than i do watching it, we can do a Zombie Night. [/quote] You got me at 'Cold Beer'...;)

[quote who="naroon1" reply="72" id="3849211"] Seeing as i have a 30TB Collection, Star Wars in there Jafo [/quote] I'll forgive you....just don't make me watch any of the crap if I were ever to visit...;) Zombie stuff is much more 'fun'. Check out the UK 6 parter....'Zombie Boat'...;)

[quote who="naroon1" reply="60" id="3849034"] Brilliant Movie Jafo, i have created a Fantastic 1080p X265 from a Blu Ray Disc in my collection, it is crisp and clear for an 80s movie, you get to see a lot more of those darker scenes as i have used some filters during the conversion. [/quote] Yes, one of my favourites. Intelligent S/F for adults is where I am at,...not Star Wars for rugrats...;)

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="63" id="3849082"] it is no longer HIPAA compliant and I don't think "I used 0patch" will cut it in court. [/quote] Yes...so it's going to be a pain in the arse when MS moves the goal posts and forces people into a subscription basis...and businesses cannot choose an out. The only option is to kick back hard and loud....but MS is bound to be somewhere between deaf, indifferent and brain dead...;)

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="56" id="3849015"] This may be a tad OT, but how does one stop Windows Updates from installing gpu driver updates. Mine keeps effing with me. I have reinstalled my gfx driver thrice in one day. GGggrrrrr. [/quote] Depending on which OS you are on...Google methods of 'blocking' updates. I managed so well on Terry's machine [Win 10] it never came good again. Even a deliberate re-install over was a no-go. <

[quote who="naroon1" reply="40" id="3848798"] MS will give up on 7 unless there is a serious issue, that is the way of things. How will 0Patch fair against compatibility with vendors not updating Drivers etc.. almost all OSs stop being supported after a while, does 0patch fix that sort of thing too, really curious. [/quote] Once an OS stops being messed with by MS directly there's no changes to it requiring compensation with new drivers. Once a system is working it can

naroon1... Lived too long to equate new with better. Newest car I've ever owned was a 2007 SAAB Aero V6 convertible...bought in 2013 ...so 'only' 6 years old. Reason is...in 2007 it was 92.5 Thousand ....in 2013 it was almost run in [as it were] at 56k km, and cost me 23.5. Same car...same performance...better money...;) I still have it...along with another [older]. I don't buy new cars every 3 years...as it adds to land-fill to be dumping old for n

[quote who="naroon1" reply="19" id="3848615"] Forward as in the latest Operating System, i have explained this before Doc, i need to offer support for work for those users who need Win 11 support, [/quote] All you have to do is pro-actively educate your users NOT to move to a new OS. New is not always better, in fact more often than not it is simply worse. The new commercial model for Windows is probably extremely good for Microsoft....at the expense of all t

[quote who="naroon1" reply="9" id="3848569"] what ever crap they pull, there will always be a work around of one type or other. [/quote] Yep, it's called Win 7. As soon as I saw the 'price' of Win 10 I knew where it was all heading....and if you bought it like you always did they wouldn't be allowed to change the rules later. But... Because you got it for eff-all they are not required to maintain a contractual agreement...and can move the goalposts w

Mine's mild...had worse flu. Terry's is the most ill I've seen her in 42 years. Can hardly swallow...or speak above a whisper.

Reply to RATs in Everything Else WinCustomize Forums

I reckon I'm heading out the other side of it...cough is now breaking [a bit]... Terry's the worst tho at the moment...can hardly speak from the sore throat. I'm probably [more] deaf from the Grand Prix ...and she can't speak loud ....so it's "entertaining"...;)

Reply to RATs in Everything Else WinCustomize Forums

Terry's got it now [it's only fair]...;) We'd survived so long free of it, too. As they say....all good things come to he who waits......

Looks like I'm isolating for a week. Better part of half a million people at the Grand Prix last week...[they claimed it was a world record - seems they forgot about Adelaide in 1995 ....when it WAS a World Record].... Bloody good odds I'd get Covid .... ...and I did...;)
