    WPIW & Kelsenellenelvian retiring

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted · Edited by Kelsenellenelvian

    WPIW.net domain is up for renewal in August. I have decided to not renew the domain. 

    This was done for several reasons chiefly:

    Windows 8&10 killed all joy of working with windows for me. I haven't updated from windows 7 and refuse to. 
    There has been almost zero support and donations from the tech side of my life in a loong time. Nothing for at least a year and well less that a couple hundred for @5years total. 

    WPIW was coming on 14 years in November and had a long, good relatively successful run. My addons were pretty well received but I am not going to sell out and continue with these ventures. I want to thank you all for the good times and the bad and the memories. My email is and will remain as kelsenellenelvian@gmail.com feel free to drop me a line and I will still check in from time to time.

    May you all fare well.

    Due to the licenses sold for WPIW I cannot release the continuation of WPIW. However, if someone truly wants to continue this as something else let me know and well see what can be done.

    Unofficial WPI v8.7.2 with Windows 10 support

    Download

    - I added the above changes
    - this line: 

    
if      (Caption.indexOf("10")    != -1) { szOSVerCache = "Win10";  szEditionIDCache = getOSsku(OSSKU); }


    was changed to: 

    
if      (Caption.indexOf("10")    != -1) { szOSVerCache = "Win10";  szEditionIDCache = getXOSsku(OSSKU); }


    - added new function to show correctly ID Caption for Windows 10.

      Reveal hidden contents

    function getXOSsku(sku)
    {
       position = "wmi.js";
       whatfunc = "getXOSsku()";

       var OSSKU = "Not found";

       switch (sku)
       {
          case 0 :
             OSSKU = "Not found";
             break;

          case 4 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Enterprise";
             break;

          case 27 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Enterprise N";
             break;

          case 48 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Pro";
             break;

          case 49 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Pro N";
             break;

          case 98 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Home N";
             break;

          case 100 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Home Single Language";
             break;

          case 101 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Home";
             break;

          case 121 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Education";
             break;

          case 122 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Education N";
             break;

          case 125 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB";
             break;

          case 126 :
             OSSKU = "Windows 10 Enterprise N 2016 LTSB";
             break;         

       }

       return OSSKU;
    }


    PS:

    - if @Kelsenellenelvian don`t want this modified version here, a mod can delete this post.
    - happy testing.

    The only request I have is that you post a modded version of 8.7.3 also please.

    So you use Chrome's built-in "Google Cast" functionality? As far as I know, it supports only Chromecast receivers, not DLNA receivers.

    Not sure my vizio accepts the videos i send to it. Might be a extension i've picked up from k-lite or chrome extensions.

    Edge does have one nice feature that I recently discovered in Bob Anniversary Update. It has a "Cast media to" feature which can stream YouTube content to DLNA/UPnP receivers like big screen smart TVs. Explorer does the same using Windows Media Player.

     I do that on android, ios and Windows 7 all the time it's not new to edge....

    The future of WPI

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    I would think about it, but the problem is there are licenses to think of here. WPI has several companies that have corporate licenses (New York Central School District, Key bank of Europe and Michigan, a university in CA) If WPI were to live on these licenses would HAVE to be honored for the rest of it's life. No matter who was continuing it. 

    Maybe stop official distribution and leave the section here open for support and just kind of well, wallow?

    The future of WPI

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Due to the advent of recent MS practices in the past couple of years (I refuse to install windows 10) and the lack of donations\interest in WPI I am announcing that WPI, likely will reach end of support in the next six months. As some of you know I rely solely on disability to live and I can no longer afford to keep up with domain costs, pc repairs and related costs.

    Sad to announce but it has been a hell of a 13 year run for WPI. In it's current form it works well and will continue to work well with legacy os's (Windows 8 and further back)

    I really don't have the will or energy to keep trying to breath life into WPI when the support is just not there.

    Thank you to all of those who donated in time, sweat, knowledge and support.

    you're funny guy
    while I gave all arguments to kill his stubborn bs, you call me a troll

    hell ban me then and be over with it

    I'm not calling you a troll. A general all around a**, yes but troll is too nice a title for you. Also you're kind of proving my point. You say I called you a troll. I called you everything but a troll.....

    Hell I'm not even taking about the arguments, I'm taking about the foul and abusive language and general hatred you commonly spout.

    you have some mental issues to which I don't want to be part of

    And you are amazingly rude, angry and offensive. Some of the things you've said recently have gotten other people banned. Your generally insulting, constantly foul, and flame people who don't agree with you. Your truly worse than the win ten fanboiz and super trolls we see all the time.

    Smartphone Memory size lawsuit?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Why have we yet to see a lawsuit of smartphone memory size?
    Here's my main argument phone are all sold and displayed primarily based on memory size. (16gb iPhone, 32gb Galaxy) BUT the memory is a quarter to half taken by the OS and the phone carriers software. So a 16gb phone only in actuality has 10gb user space. A phone with 8gb (Lower end models) has 2 free gigs. This use to not be as much an issue but now almost every game and most apps HAVE to have their main files in the phones memory not a extra sd card because of piracy concerns.  This is a false advertisement on the same scale as Win 10 issues.
