Nokiamies

latest Windows 10 update broke unattended installs on MDT (Microsoft deployment toolkit that uses ADK). I was scratching my head for good while why all installs errored out until I did found out it was change in unattended setup and had to redo unattended configuration so I wonder if same answer file works to Windows 11 or need custom one

I try get all games can from humble bundle drm free copies and gog.com. I mostly play portal 2 on steam that uses steam for multiplayer

well peoples think "what you gonna do about it" and pay more to them instead of actually doing something like boycott companies until they change their way. Last Windows I paid was Windows 7 that I needed to have full paid retail version to my use or would not pass auditing. I currently got personal ban on Windows 8, 10 and 11 on my network and only use them work. If Microsoft changes their way of doing operating system I will be more than happy lift the ban but I doubt it . And before someone says Windows before it had issues too I am aware of them but at end they were solid and reliable products (Windows 3.x and 98FE as expections ) that made powerusing much easier. I am using linux if need new os which sadly seems to be going same path. System D as good example . Luckily Systemd free distros exist. Also cannot go linux full time on personal system since Windows games wont work, mix of package managers is hell etc so. no perfect soluction

Without root it will be hard or impossible since way storage works on android or phone overall. You cannot do data recovery over MTP. Is phone encrypted? phone should totally off until you find way or app may write to block with old data even if just running background

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/unsupported-win11-pcs-wont-update wonder how long it will work if that is true. Ms will block updates on Windows 11 if unsupported cpu. You may need use wsusoffline or similar to continue getting updates in future. Or maybe someone makes patch similar to wufuc (allows bypass ryzen block on win7 update) to Windows 11 well back in 90s Microsoft made many company networks running Microsoft Chigaco (Windows 95 beta) before it was stable so it is possible that some companies move to it partially. I already heard plans from getting win11 on my workplace and how it will affect on getting new hardware.

That is only partially true. Some latest versions (that are bloated anyways) wont work, but some recieve definition updates still and there is few that workss First is spybot S&D 1.62 that works down Windows 98 and gets def updates still. That may be able to remove it. For tradiotional viruses there is Clamwin antivirus that uses clamav engine, is free and open source and up to date. Hopefully those two will fix your issue

well remember what Moonchild(ish) devs did to Openbsd build of palemoon? Attacked against it for licence violation only because it was "deviating from official configuration". Ironically Palemoon originally supposed to fix issues Firefox had (addon blocking, removal of useful features) but it is slowly becoming same as firefox . What next? Maybe load tons of telemetry and useless bloat like Mozilla? I hope forks of it wont die off but future seems dark for now

I got Windows 98SE with 98lite micro shell (95 explorer and no ie) on Vmware workstation with 4gb of ram for testing software before deploying it to my real Windows 98 system. Just avoid excess use of vmware tools drag and drop. It tends to crash with drag and drop on any win9x based os if 4gb ram. Also firefox/retrozilla may give random memory error which is solved with rebooting Windows luckily. Some of software just do not like it sometimes which is not big issue

I just have to slap barrel charger in without looking way it is which I like. Also made it easy make my own charger dock to few phones I have three batteries. One is BMS-2 which is to my Nokia 6110 and also works on my 5110. It works from phones released in 1997 to phones released in 1999 for most parts. Then I got blc-2, that works on my 3330 and 3510i and also works on almost all phones until 2003 or so. Then got BL-5C that works all other phones expect 9300 communicator and E-Series. For charger acp-7e works to every phone mentioned there and acp-12e works all but 6110 and 5110. This gives me freedom to change phone whenever pleased. Also older phones stored sms and contacts to sim by default so all need to do is pop battery to other phone with sim and good to go. I now moved from 6110 to 3330 for fun and may go to 3510i or other and then back to 6110 just because I can. Wonder if carrier is thinking why my phone imei keep changing every so often I would say standardise battery physical size and others also forbid non removable batteries because they make repairs harder and causes more e waste. I have been extending many device life by getting spare battery to them. I am not comfortable melting any glue to do it to be honest since risks related to it. Also in case something goes wrong, unplugging battery will kill power and minimise damage. Example being water damage that saved my phone few times when got wet from inside. And of chargers making real charging soluction. For while usb seemed like it but seems that new chargers wont co-operate. I got galaxy a40 on workplace and had battery running out of it and borrowed workmate oneplus charger with usb-c header. Guess what, it did not want to charge phone at all. I am not against quick charge but there should be compability mode that supplies standard voltage to device if handshake fails. Standards are good but they seems to be fading away again.

i was able find spare case to nokia 6600 I have laying around when used enough time online That looks similar to 1110 I have in box expect slimmer. Likely same hardware with slimmer design and few bugfixes. Does it last few weeks on single charge?

yes I remember. It is ironic for that

my point was not I do not want to have browser. I mean browser on OS should be user removable. Baking browser that keep getting updates if terrible idea. Microsoft abuses it monopoly by bundling unremovable components on Windows. That is my problem.

What I noticed Windows 11 start menu is forced to centre before you activate it. I was setting it up to one person and my practise is avoid excess internet use before done all tweaks and seems option to force to side is locked behind activation. After it was activated had no issue and it offered centre or side. I guess finally found reason to make peoples buy licence by forcing it wrong place by default Internet explorer is sorta gone. Microsoft edge got ie compability mode that uses mshtml.dll from internet explorer. Small step to right direction. Now all they need allow is remove MS edge, anticonsumer inexperience (one that downloads all bloatware and shows ads), microsoft store and lot more and add option to them at add and remove software menu and remove all traces off them if user wants unticks it, but I highly doubt they will allow remove features that benefit M$. Last time windows had browser free desktop by default was in 1995 on windows 95 RTM. well Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with kde ripoff desktop, stupid artificial requiments and few other tweaks. It is not different from the Windows 10 mostly for now which makes me wonder if win11 updates can be used on windows 10 in 2025

My comment was mostly joking from throwaway culture where all is old when comes out. Anything using google framework will go down and refuse work unless microg keeps support. Highest hope is on f-droid apps. Sadly nobody really cares about old devices anymore even if they are usable. Only hope is on community. For example I have modded few of my symbian phones I play around to support sha2 and can login even to gmail over imap that way which is fun since s60 3rd edition came out in 2005. Sadly any site asking over tls 1.0 refuse work unless use opera mini and being limited to tls 1.0 will also kill gmail over imap some point. Also got openstreetmap based map program on it called s60maps that is still updated. Feels anything will have community trying extend lifespan if user is not afraid of modding and tweaking

2011 and 2013 phone outdated. Well for me it is outdated when it no longer works

very old ccleaner is fine to older machines. For newer try one called bleachbit. It is free and open source. Though learn how it works before using it.

well if we ignore avast owning advertising company and selling user data and lifelock before norton and their social security number scandal (ceo posted social security number internet claiming nobody can abuse it) then yes. Avast is bloat nowadays and norton always been bloat so we can only wonder what will happen. I stopped using avast on version 12 I think which started show popup ads on free edition. I liked media player interface avast (up to 4.8) most. Was simple yet still intuitive UI and worked down Windows 98. After it became more and more bloated. 4.8 worked until 2017 on defintion updates.

I was able use old asrock nforce board with intergrated mainboard on older win10 build that way. Of course was limited to reduced feature set

good to know. I personally wont use Windows 11 but some peoples will likely want upgrade to it even got older but still powerful hw (believe or not some got very similar old workstation hw as you do) and know atleast for it now it can be done unless ms hard codes requiment to kernel level.

If that phone is this it looks like poor 5110 or 6110 ripoff. That is not definitely most best made phone but does it job. Sadly many judge all plastic basic phones by those. Old school nokias had near unbreakable plastic and I had few phone taking lot of abuse as kid (i dropped it to asphalt too many times when walking or cycling and dropped to water and other) and they still works. I got 1110 as alarm and it is very good phone. It has talking clock too I currently got nokia e71 for similar purpose. It got 128/128kb/s internet plan. I just have to hook it to computer I want and either use nokia own internet sw or setup standard gsm modem to internet access.

i have had on nokia going for a swim and survived after took off battery I think all it needed was type per device code when no sim inserted? I do have smartphone at work but it is not my property technically like my work laptop. It is loaned by workplace to me as long as work there, but outside it I got no smartphone. But on work been surviving without using it mostly other than calls. But workplace provided more than sufficent work resources I use my workplace phone only to work related calls and it sits on office desk daily. Only time took it home was when had to work remotely. Some workmates uses personal smartphone to work too with all software like outlook and they answer messages even when not in work which will mix work and private. I cannot be distracted by work emails when off work since only access it on my work laptop

wonder if you managed get gpu working with it proper? Windows 11 is picky from gpu and needs dx12 compatible one

mine is mostly sitting on desk or in pocket or car dashboard. I got profile called high priority enabled on it which alerts only from my parents number and few other that I know wont call me without good reason using built in caller group option ("family", "VIP", "Friends", "work" and "others" as options). Only thing outside call and sending random short messages is listening it ringtones or playing snake if too bored middle of nowhere. I had plenty of spam calls on my old operator and when switched they ended. I also got private number which by law does not allow spam calls. If marketer or bot calls to my number will result issues to caller. I just said this is private number to few and it ended. But funny enough smartphone users seems getting more spam calls than me. Maybe that is due apps collecting data and selling to telemarketers?

It is because "lines been disconnected" . It started here from operators skyrocketing prices of landline. Before was 20 mark soon 40 then more. Then dropped gsm prices. When enough had switched off they used low use as excuse to end sales to it. Now operators around europe plan do same to any dumbphones by killing gsm "in benefit of consumer". Soon only option is smartphone sadly and I seem to be last person seeing issue on that or earlier dropping landline. Only other option is voip which I highly dislike due tied to broadband. Landlines could run on batteries for weeks if outage

original titan so OP wont buy new one (some actually confuse those two). There was newer titan too which did not work on vista I am pretty sure driver is 2d only one I seen for XP too. As far as I learnt that driver is useless to everything
