[quote who="Daiwa" reply="3993303" id="541620"] they just amplify all the things I didn't need or want to hear, everything except the voices I did want to hear more clearly, even though they were "tuned" to my audiogram. [/quote] Hearing aids amplify sound, but they cannot fully restore damaged sound-processing in the inner ear or auditory nerve. Many people with sensorineural hearing loss especially lose clarity/consonants (“s”, “t”, “f&r

Reply to New Secure Boot Certificates for Older Computers in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

[quote who="tbrandt" reply="3993199" id="541617"] Your PC will still boot after the cert expires, fwiw. Secure Boot doesn't stop your computer from working. What happens is Microsoft resigns stuff with the new cert going forward, So new Windows updates, recovery tools, and new blocks against malware wont verify on a box that never picked up the new cert. You just stop getting them. [/quote] Thanks for your reply, tbrandt. I hope that's true.

[quote who="Chasbo" reply="3993190" id="541464"] New wallpaper by Lightstar. thinking that I should do the taskbar to the left. I haven't noticed any shots set up like that. So I have a version of Essence that I changed to be more black. Hope Thomas doesn't mind. [/quote] Interesting setup, Chuck. :thumbsup: 5*

Reply to Window Blinds ReInstall in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

If you redownloaded WB from your account at Srdock or from Stardock's website, Webroot is flagging a false positive. If you consult Webroot's user forums or Webroot's Support how to "whitelist" an app, and do so for Windowblinds, that should solve your problem. At any rate, Windowblinds if downloaded from Stardock, will not be infected.

I too am wearing hearing aids...but as you know Barb, I'm in Israel and the brands and financing are rather different from the States. I think this might help. I'd recommend seeing an ENT via your Primar

[quote who="FRiNGE07" reply="3993109" id="541590"] I don't care that it works for you. I have been using this software for 12 years, so I know how to use it. Stop making it seem like it's on my end when it clearly is not. Other people have confirmed it in this thread. It is broken! plain and simple! Literally, 3 people just said they have this problem. learn how to read before you assume someone else is incompetent. Maybe you should

Truly, magedotexe has done a great job so far...along with all those working on the projest. The new forums are lovely. Also, grateful thanks to the folks who saved WC. Permanent heroes and heroines. As for the Gallery, I hope a real revamp is possible. I'd love to see spam reporting and rapid removal of Gallery spam tools happen. The prospect of a new DX should have a certain Redneck truly happy. I'd love to try creating a comprehensive 3D anatomy and physiology

Reply to Making Images in the Cloud vs Local in WinCustomize News Stardock Forums

Only answering partially, here. My problems with AI are that it's too easy and too polluting. Too easy because formulating prompts isn't all that hard, one can even use AI to help one do it. I spent a good deal of time trying and (only slightly) succeeding learning a bunch of programs and techniques, etc. and a lot of it feels wasted. I can tolerate AI's hand/perspective problems because correcting them isn't inordinately difficult. What I find frightening isn't people
