Is mono not the .net framework version? .net core has always been multi platform, but is not compatible with .net framework apps. So any .net apps built against 3.5 or 4.x would still need to use mono.

Funny thing is I remember control panel being criticized for having things too many dialogs deep. Now you have more clicks when using settings instead of less.

Yep, depending on the version it was under either administrative tools or system tools option in control panel. It’s now also in the menu when you right click the start button.

You can now reach the network connections folder, using an option on the network status page. It’s something like advanced network options. Still all the classic stuff, but avoids “control panel.” I’m going to guess links like that are not going to be removed.

If they just outright remove all of that, you really will need to learn how to do everything in powershell.

If you don’t mind having email go through Gmail etc, then you might not want to full host, but just run a local IMAP server. There are some pop to SMTP solutions you can use to pull your emails (fetchmail.) you can then use your account as an outbound relay. Keep in mind you’ll only be able to set this up for a single account if you use something like Gmail.

If you buy a business product like workspace or m365, you should be able to setup relay/hybrid connectors for multiple accounts.

Bd players need internet as they only have keys for the discs made before they were made. So if you stick a newer disc in it won’t play until it gets updated.

You’re not safe there either, they had almost the same issue on the Linux version of the product a few months ago.

Added the ability to save a specific frame of a video as a steam screenshot

I was actually using snipping tool for this as it was missing. Being able to get a screenshot of something after the fact is a nice feature.

Doesn’t have to be update and shutdown, I will click shutdown and it just reboots. Even disabled fast startup, so it’s not getting a wake event just as it’s hibernating.

Since you added a question mark, commands is the correct general term. However there are two types that can be a command. Functions: which are written in pure powershell and cmdlets: which are commands provided by dotnet classes. (Also exes and a bunch of other stuff common to other shells can be a command, but that’s not important.)

The reason they have different names is early on functions didn’t support some of the features available to cmdlets, such as pipeline input. There was later a way to add this support to functions.

In practice call them any of the 3 and people will know that you mean.

Yea, this is not cheap companies doing cheap things. This is companies getting annoyed by stupid licencing and restrictions, getting around the problem.

Starting June 2024, iFixit will no longer be Samsung’s designated third-party parts and tools distributor. Also starting next month, we will no longer have a quantity limit of seven Samsung parts per repair shop per quarter.

Wow that is quite a limit Samsung. I can see why no one would want to be a partner with them. (Which was obviously the point.)

Did they think about how far I would have to move my hand to type it? Sudo is only in two easy to reach places on the keyboard, run0 is 4 separate areas of the keyboard, one two rows from home and none on the home row.

I’m only partially joking.

It depends where you want the complexity.

Since ssh is a layer4 tunnel if you don’t run a proxy on your home box, you’ll need a new network connection for each service, if you are fine with that, I would set it up only on the VPS. This means if the tunnel goes down, you should at least get 502 error rather than a timeout or connection refused.

Alternatively you could forward 80, 443 to a proxy service on the home server. That would require two ports for the ssh.

You can drop it to a single ssh connection by having a proxy on both and just have the VPS proxy Http and https to the same port on the home server.

One issue is that some people are still on windows 7 installs that were upgraded. Windows 7 had a large enough partition for then, but the upgrade now needs more. Unfortunately 2009 Microsoft didn’t anticipate that this should be bigger for 2023 installs. Making it larger is a hassle I wouldn’t want to code either.

This must have been xp or earlier. Since vista there was a shared key and certificate for each OEM that paired with a code on the motherboard. And since 8 or 10 there is now a key in the motherboard that has been pre-registered with the activation servers. Now when you activate a retail key, it registers the motherboard not the install, so a reinstall gets activated automatically.

It’s almost like trying to squish different security architectures on top of each other doesn’t work well. It’s a nice idea, but it was either not going to work smoothly or be a big security issue.

I find it surprising that existed. Not an unreasonable change.

For the lazy, when a game sold “advanced access” as part of a pre-purchase; game time before release didn’t count to the 2h refund limit. So you could play eg 10h of a game, then refund it on release. This is them fixing it.

Bad news, I have an AMD card and still got the copilot button. It’s probably a very specific version of the software that is an issue.

Make sure the columns in your csv are named properly, my code assumes it’s named just “name”
