  1. You are not the only person on the forum.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. OEMs can only use processors in the distribution channel, which should all be current gen.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 2 computers connect to the same interface, so the possibility exists. Most (like 99.9%) of consumer routers never get updates or patched for CVEs.
  12. The Paris Agreement has always had the same complaint about it, that it was just an agreement and not binding. It was just used as a badge of honor. Many countries joined it but didn't change their operating procedures or used it as an excuse to make money from their citizens.
  13. They are not reliable as a straight adapter. It comes down to whether the computer sends the correct signals and also on the monitor. I stopped using them because I kept running into scenarios where the adapter would work on one computer but not another, or various displays not working with them. There are also situations where you can get no video during boot, in Setup, in text mode (Windows or Linux), etc. HDMI to VGA has the same issues but usually worked more than the DVI variety. They are cheap enough to try if you have a lot of hardware to use, but I wouldn't bank on it or recommend to someone with just 1 computer because the possibility exists that they could end up with something they can't use.
  14. IDK but this is os, so you could compile it for 64bit https://github.com/nobbele/bytepatcher I'm presuming it is a different project than what you posted about but with the same name.
  15. You are networked. I do not know how the usage of accounts relates to the internal policies of the router. That is something you'll have to research if you don't provide the model to us.
  16. Add "Industrial PC" to your search terms. Companies like Advantech, Logic Supply, Smartvue, etc.
  17. The router itself doesn't really have storage. It is not impossible but the malware would have to be specifically designed to be able to write to the router and outside of a TI, that isn't likely to be the case. It is certainly possible to cause problems for other computers on the same subnet. You will need to look into your router settings to see if it has an option for client isolation on WLAN. That should prevent other wireless clients from seeing each other in addition to wired clients being able to see wireless. I've seen some routers where this is enabled by default. The obvious first thing you should not do is put an infected system on a network. Clean it first, then you can connect it. Otherwise if you are asking for how you can completely isolate an infected machine on a shared network, that is another story and may not be possible with your current hardware setup. Of course, we have no idea what network hardware you are dealing with.
  18. There is probably one that runs on the server itself, but the forum doesn't have anything built into it. I'm not aware of any forums that do.
  19. This would likely be a situation that is technically possible but incredibly difficult to do. Depending on the age of the disk, the geometry and position information is stored on a chip on the disk's PCB so you would need to swap that as well. As I understand it, this type of task would require that the platters be put into the exact same position in the new drive shell as they were in the old shell and the servo would also need to be in the exact same position. Otherwise, the servo is going to be attempting to read information in the wrong location and will likely make data recovery impossible. So basically, the information on the chip already matches the servo and position information on the current disk, in order to move the chip and the platters to a different servo mechanism (aka use the servo mechanism in another physical disk) would require you to keep that positioning within the disk's tolerance. Grok indicates that the amount of tolerance for misaligned disks is +10-15% of the track width, where track width is measured in nm (nanometers) and that for a disk with a 50 nm track width, the tolerance would be +5-7.5 nm. Of course you would need some specific and highly accurate setup to accomplish this type of switchover, as well as a clean room.
  20. After a quick look, it appears that current chats are located in C:\users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\IndexedDB\https_teams.microsoft.com_0_indexeddb.leveldb\n.log where user = the user Teams is installed for where n = some number There is another dir in IndexedDB that has a ton of subdir that could be where old chats are located.
  21. Such boards exist but are the types that would have multiple on-board storage controllers. Where certain ports are assigned to a SATA controller and others are assigned to a RAID controller. On those types of boards, you could set the SATA controller to IDE and the RAID controller to AHCI or vice-versa.
  22. After some research it seems that PNG had been supported for some time on programs I had not used. I first encountered it in Fireworks and for years Fireworks was the only program that could manipulate it. I knew years later that once I came across programs that could support PNG that they did not have the ability to read the shape data or even the layers of a PNG created in Fireworks, and treated them as flattened. I had figured that this was just another example of some advanced features that were phased out due to lack of use.
  23. I have yet to see any board that doesn't have an IDE option. Even high end server boards still have it. That setting is not relating to the physical connection but to how IDE used to operate.
