  1. And I'm speaking from my experience too. I totally agree with the others : Driver Booster is far more superior, starting from the ancient times.

  2. Banking sector is being heavily regulated by governments , right ? So write to the bank and demand to show you the >federal< law which clearly states that this form of identification is required. I'm guessing there will be none . As my understanding goes, your country is in the EU , so file a complaint to Brussels , BELGIUM . Also , I think we need to stop being on their leash . Today we do what they want , tomorrow it will identification by DNA , have your tried using ordinary paper money ? Official links and info from their page below : "EU policy areas with a direct effect on the rights of European consumers, such as banking..." https://ec.europa.eu/info/policies/consumers/consumer-protection_en You have the right (Article 227 TFEU) to submit a petition to the European Parliament : http://ec.europa.eu/justice/citizen/index_en.htm If you consider that the European Commission has not dealt with your request properly, you may contact the European Ombudsman(Articles 24 and 228 TFEU). http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/home.faces

  3. Ridiculous! Wasting money from the people who work hard to build a technology, that can't reach the one's who are truly endangered by the illness called Covid19. The old staff! The retired ones! Usually, they don't have a smartphone, and therefore can't be traced. What a well thought plan! As we can see, the true virus is worldwide goverment stupidity. Spreads via television, radio, newspapers and the internet. Is that true? Aren't there any banks at all at your place, that let you do your online banking properly on a computer? Without smartphones needed? I opened my bank account three years ago and it was still possible to open an offline account, which would have cost a bit more, because less things are automated. But the online banking is a proper thing without smartphones. If a smartphone would be required for online banking, I'd switch to an offline bank. Absolute No-Go. Wait, I've thought a little bit about this. Actually, there is a root checking taking place on my bank account too. But it is send via SMS! Old technology, you know. Therefore I can still use a Sony Ericsson from 2008. Drops into puddles, drops into toilets, drops on the floor, still operates. The battery in it lasts longer than these modern wipe-o-phones. And you can even exchange it (!!!), when it's broken. I, and only I as the user of the technology, will decide when to retire it! Not you, Apple and Google! Fortuneately alternatives like the finnish Jolla phone exist. A Sailfish OS device would be the only compromise I'd be willing to take. (Edit: Excuse me, I misunderstood the term "root checking" as checking, where the the owner of the bank account is. So that the bank knows, where the root of the login came from. But no, it's checking if a phone was "rooted", improved by the user.)

  4. I assume the local population is totally ok with this . No reaction at all . They are all agree to be under full control ? BTW , in my country , esp. in big cities , if you don't have an ippone , preferably the latest , you're a loser and even below average females won't look at you . I used to date a younger girl , 8-9 years ago , when I had a good smartphone . I'll tell a funny story to cheer everyone up. I had a decent job that days , I could afford some things , just some . I don't know why she assumed that I'm rich . So we went on a couple of dates , then I invited her home . She didn't like my house , I could tell . We sat down on my couch to have a couple of drinks and watch some film . I turned on my PC with Core Quad and Windows Vista , oh man , you should've seen the look on her face , like I'm a vagabond , beggar , retard or something. And that was more than 8 years ago ! What would she think of me now ? I can't even imagine . Yeah , I'm still using Vista and like it very much. And I don't use a smartphone , but I think the NWO will force them as yet another mandatory here too and very soon . Excuse me if I've made mistakes , English is my third Language , I've studied Dutch at school.

  5. What the heck are you people doing on the internet that you need such overpowered machines? I can get by with a laptop with dual core 1,35 GHz APU with 2 GB of RAM, where 256 MB is taken by the GPU and another 40 MB disabled because it developed faults.

  6. I think for 64-bit Windows 7/8.1, SATA SSD 8 GB RAM Dual-core or Quad-core For Windows 10 especially 20H2/21H1 Insider or if you are on relatively newer (1803 to 2004), NVMe SSD 16 GB RAM Quad-core or 6-core Of course, they will run at lower specs but given the number of processes, bloat, web browser processes, overall responsiveness of UI desired, it's this.

  7. I find SSD is more of an impact than more ram, done plenty of cheap/old laptops recently for helping out local people. Last machine was a Lenovo dual core i3, 4Gb, 120SSD. I have a custom install to mean I spend as little time as possible on these, it does a basic install then sets up the laptop with chocolatey, installs office (often they get a licence from school), chrome and Google drive. Then sets power settings to shutdown on regular basis, and auto update apps once a month. Then few tweaks not listed publicly (yet, some are on my GitHub) are removing services not needed, crap and generally removing prettiest thing's. I'm no Dev by any sense so anyone viewing my code please allow some bad programming, lol

  8. That's what I do. I only use Driver Booster if I cannot find any drivers for the OS and the hardware

  9. Not just banks. I always thought of smartphones as complementary pocket computers. It seems cultural shift started to occur at some point that they became center of everything. Slovenian government was going to make an app that warns you if you've been in proximity of someone infected with SARS-CoV-2 mandatory to use, though realization failed. PS: old way to access my bank's site still works, it was supposed to stop working with November. I imagine getting people to switch from the old trusted way isn't a smooth process.

  11. As far as I know modern SSDs manage this issue by themselves and don't need any external "trimming".

  12. I used XP for about 3 years on a SSD with no trim functionality. It had no effect on performance, whatsoever. Further to that, I installed Vista on the very same SSD (Intel; on which it still resides) and after installing close to 2GB of update files I ran trim via the Intel SSD toolbox program. Take a guess how long it took for the trim command to finish 'cleaning' the drive? Answer: about 1 (one) second.

  13. I don't know how many files are affected, but I know of at least one that is. When nLite runs it decompresses the files in the I386 folder. I discovered that ntkrnlmp.exe / ntkrnlmp.ex_ isn't re-compressed. Is there a reason for this? Is there a way in the program to set it up so that it does? Thanks in advance.
