We may assist you in trying to find some of these but you can't expect us to do all of the work. Please type these first line of each in a post as text.

You'll need to get the hardware IDs of the devices you want to find drivers for. Usually just the VEN&DEV (or VID&PID) portions would suffice.

Firefox root certificate expiring in March
Tripredacus replied to Tripredacus's topic in Web Browsers
Even if the add-ons were signed and approved by the overlords at Mozilla or Google or whoever, I would still expect them to be stealing information. Having something be digitally signed makes no difference to me. -
Firefox root certificate expiring in March
Tripredacus replied to Tripredacus's topic in Web Browsers
It happened today, the only thing that actually seems to have changed is that Firefox disabled ALL extensions. I will update to the 115.12.0esr as it has an option for and see if that fixes it. That did not do anything. There was some other change that Mozilla writes about here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct Changing the signature requirement in about:config re-enabled the extensions. -
The only reason why Elon is managing Doge is because he said he would do it. Usually when people come up with grandiose ideas, they don't volunteer to be part of the solution. The complaint (which OP should have highlighted) is the following: I doubt it is the case to be honest. On X you do not need to follow him to see what he says, that is true. However X has (and has had for a long time, even when Jack was on the board) 2 views. The default view which is the old view where you only see the content of the people you follow: Their posts (but not replies) and their retweets. The other view is the For You, or the feed. On that view you will also see posts the people you follow have replied to, have liked AND posts from accounts that they follow. Even before Elon bought Twitter, he was one of the users with a very high engagement, many replies, many followers, many quote tweets. So if any of the people you follow also follow him, then his posts are going to show up in the For You view. Especially if you follow any news outlet or journalist, as they all follow him. Now the For You feed has been the default view on Twitter for quite a few years now, so this predates it being X. He had posted some internal info last year stating that most people use the For You view and he had posted how to use the other view. The For You view is often criticized because it displays the posts out of order. That is why I never liked to use it. I think that X could make this complaint moot if they just change the default tab to the Following mode, since if you potentially never see any post from Elon on that view. But as I said, if you follow any news/journo type, they are probably going to quote tweet him, so you can't hide from him forever. The only issue unrelated to the algorithm is that you cannot actually mute some accounts. Technically you can but the posts can still appear. I do not know if Musk's account is one of them but the X and SpaceX accounts cannot be actually muted. The X account I can understand, same reason here you cannot block Admins. Even in this case, I don't think it is something you would take legal action against.

Using a server installation as a daily driver
Tripredacus replied to TheNewStatesman's topic in Windows Server 2008
Starting with 2012, probably not. The only real issue would be in regards to hardware or software capability. And it depends on what you mean by a daily driver. If you mean just using the internet, then no issue will be had. If you want to play games, that may be an issue with certain aspects if they (or the video/sound card) do not support the Server version. I think around 2012 to now, Windows Server is less transparent vs client, meaning most programs don't know any difference. But also in regards to using an old Server OS like 2008 R2, you are going to run into the same issues as equivalent client OS in regards to security certificates and TLS. -
This happened to me at home only yesterday. That PC is using Win 10 1809. I will get the version info later. You could choose to keep it and re-enable the extension anyways. The Chrome web store does not have any sort of alternative. Also you could say their messaging is slightly deceptive. On both the toast when opening the browser, and on the web store it says it "doesn't follow best practices" which is gives a negative connotation. I'm sure they flag all extension with v2 this way but they could say something like how they are migrating to a new method and these extensions haven't updated to it yet.

Intel 8th-9th Gen processors will reach ESU on June 30, 2025
Tripredacus replied to halohalo's topic in Windows 11
OEMs can only use processors in the distribution channel, which should all be current gen. -
Also done!

Done.

On one Windows 7 computer I have Firefox 115.0.3 (64-bit) and every now and then when I open it it shows a tab that states the root certificate will expire soon. I believe it stated March 13. It gives the option to upgrading the browser to a new version (or new branch) which looks to be 115.1esr. Is updating the browser the only way to resolve this or is there a way to update the root certificate it uses to stay on the same version?

Getting malware from router, etc.
Tripredacus replied to forjonny's topic in Malware Prevention and Security
I was replying to the specific condition where an infected PC is put onto the network that contains a router. Those router issues you speak of come either that way from manufacturing, from a bad firmware update or from the internet. -
No one can really say. Here you can drive anything you want but it has to pass inspection. I'm sure there are different rules for different things. During the summer you can see vehicles from 80 years ago being driven around. There is also a consideration toward import laws. Some vehicles are illegal to drive here only because they are illegal to import, based on emissions, safety or some other regulation. Two examples are Nissan Skyline GT-R (car from 2 Fast 2 Furious movie) and I seem to recall that Hyundai made a model of Elantra for Europe in the 2010s that got 2-3x the MPG as the US model but was banned for import.
