This thread really can't be used to know which disks are good to last a long time, since any shown having a long life are already going to be old by the time you'd get one. Unless you found one NOS or never used or had a time machine.

Diablo II Resurrected doesn't support it, I found out when I went to buy it. As far as the details, the store page lists Windows 10 as the minimum, and running the Beta on Windows 7 resulted in a version check failure. I'm fairly certain that it is possible to run it on Windows 7 but do not know whether it can be done without editing the binary.

Its a good point. The current UI design has a high degree of potential input error, unless the active button area is not the entire shape being shown. Then if that is the case, why bother using that design?

I am able to get to it, but it still doesn't fully support HTTPS. There isn't any post there in the Community section that I could see where people talked about what you saw or the site being inaccessible.

There is something weird about how the flags work in this version of the forum. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182837-my-flag-got-changed-to-uk-where-did-scotland-go/

Wordpress is typical modern/heavy web, and makes use of external libraries. For IoT appliances, I recommend that the application is as self-contained as possible and to not rely on those external libraries. Since you have no control when they update or become compromised, or if the site goes down for whatever reason. Also, running on wordpress means that your device has to go to their website in order to operate, and then of course anyone can go there without your device.

IIRC running any file as .bat or .cmd is supposed to run as cmd /k by default. I have seen instances where pause is "ignored" but it occurs in these situations: - nested batch where one has an exit and one has a pause. - some programs (apparently) send an exit code to CMD causing the window to close. (exit code sent normally) - some programs exit in a way that is not expected and causes CMD to close before the pause happens. (exit code sent because of a crash) For this third option, because it is impossible to know whether or not the pause is actually even being read by the system, I would put in something between the program line and the pause. Something that can give proof that the next line in the .cmd is being executed such as copying a file from one dir to another, or launching another program like calc.exe. Then if not only the first line is executed, but then the second, you will know that the .cmd is actually running as expected and not being closed by whatever is in the first line. Note: I exclusively use .cmd and not .bat, know there is a difference but not sure if relevant.

You should not use 127.0.0.1 for hosts or similar redirectors and instead use 0.0.0.0. Home is still a valid address and will still cause the browser to use the timeout option on the connection. 0.0.0.0 is invalid and should fail immediately. This does not matter whether or not you are actually running a web server on the computer. Running a webserver is an additional concern where you not only waste resources, but there are some slight security concerns, although they typically are going to involve TIs.

Find the other computer that it is using the same IP address as that computer and resolve it, then the error will go away. Is this computer wired or on wireless? First thing I would do is create a network map.

IC. For me, the DVD install is typically only used once with a retail OS, because the first thing I do is capture an image. I do all of my installs via an imaging system and all the images are stored on the network.

@UCyborg is this post in the correct thread? If not, we can move it.

But seriously where did you get the picture you put in your post? Maybe that place had information about it. The manual way is to export one of the image index from the install.wim, and then mount and capture/append each additional image into the newly exported image. As for making them appear in Setup like in your picture... I seem to recall that your boot image has to be 32-bit in order for Setup to deploy both 32bit and 64bit images. This can potentially be a problem on modern hardware that have the firmware block against 32bit binaries in UEFI and/or legacy mode. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/create-a-wim-for-multiple-architecture-types-using-dism https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-supported-platforms-and-cross-platform-deployments

In the shop I only have 3 types of discs to burn with, DVD, DVD DL (Dual Layer) and good old CD-R. I do not like putting OS installs onto a USB, it takes up a USB and I have to work with many different OS versions so burning them to disc is preferred for me. Rarely have to use CD-R anymore, usually just for memtest or disk tools. OT: I should be getting the install keys today (I forgot to ask for them last week) and should be able to do a full deployment test to see if anything has changed with that.

The ISO size is a bit down. For some comparisons of the last few OSes I've burned: 6,076,022 KB: Windows 10 20H2 5,439,160 KB: Server 2019 4,747,720 KB: Windows 11 I typically use DVD+R DL for OSes in recent years, seeing that 4.7 gave me hope I could use a regular DVD but I guess not. The 200 MB (or was it 200 KB?) was the size ImgBurn had said it was off by. Is there a list of known things that do not work when Windows 11 is not activated? Nearly all of my work with it is in that state.

The ISO for Windows 11 is 200 MB too large to fit on a 4.7 GB DVD. EDIT: first usability impressions. 1. The icons being in the middle of the taskbar is weird. I do not like how if you open something, all of the icons shift to accomodate the new one, and then shift back when you close something. 2. The built-in help is online only. For example if I go to the Taskbar settings and click on "How do I customize the taskbar" option, it opens Help that just says "Looks like you aren't connected to the internet." And then it shows basic troubleshooting instructions for wireless (wifi) settings to make sure you have it turned on or run the troubleshooter. OK well this is a desktop and there is no wireless card in it. I'm guessing this means this OS is designed for notebooks with touchscreens. And also is not fully functional on an isolated network. I hope the Embedded version resolves this, whenever that happens to be released. 3. Also there are some Taskbar options that are enabled by default, when disabled do not actually do anything. I forgot to get the install key so I was not able to test an auto install and making an image. I will have to try that tomorrow. And I suspect that the current XML is going to work, based solely on the OOBE pages that are presented in offline setup, but we'll see.

Interesting to note that it seems that MS did not announce an RTM date for Windows 11, but did announce GA. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/08/31/windows-11-available-on-october-5/ I hope to get to try it out soon. There doesn't seem to be any real update for the ADK, so I'm first going to see if I can deploy it just like Windows 10 aka Vista.

I'm presuming that Windows Update is going to be using the same requirements as the PC Health Check App. Whether or not it will specifically require Secure Boot to be enabled or a minimum 64 GB OS volume remains to be seen.

I've been thinking about trying to use Chrome to visit Facebook (I've been using Palemoon) but honestly I've been at peace not having to read the stuff that gets posted on there.

I was at a customer site a couple weeks ago to do some physical inventory work and they had quite a few Windows XP computers at both of the locations I visited. I thought about this thread but also knew it would not have been appropriate for me to take pictures of those computers. They were only being used to run old machines. Some were used to run some sort of metal grinding machine and others were used to operate lasers.

Despite the nobility of the request, it falls against the forum rules so we cannot actually help with this specific request. However, one thing I can point to is this: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp0501-1000/0501.txt ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp0501-1000/

User can't do it for themselves. As a general rule we do not delete accounts but rather recommend that people just logout and not come back if they don't want to be here. We make this recommendation instead of complying with a deletion because of the countless times that people have returned to MSFN after years of not using it. Also consider this: if we delete your account, your posts will remain. However since this server is hosted in EU, we will respond appropriately to a properly worded GDPR Right to Erasure request, which anyone from EU (or UK since they retained this law after Brexit) can send in a PM to a Supervisor and we will delete your account.

I think just general heating. When there are 2 bars, it will start to warm up when doing certain things. I've since changed many settings to save on data and battery and this seems to have helped keep it cooler. So on the old phone, I was not able to ID the chips that are damaged, but know that neither sound nor vibrate will work on it.

2x Galaxy S4. First one has some melting on the PCB, got a replacement. But new phone can't do everything or I haven't figured it out. So currently having to run both of them at this time.

A software becomes dead or abandoned only when an entity (rights holder) ceases to exist, at least in the US. This is why no Microsoft product is considered abandonware because Microsoft still exists. Enforcement of copyright or license doesn't even matter as far as the law is concerned, for the law is only envoked upon complaint. There is no enforcer of license for the most part. Microsoft handles enforcement via audits, and this typically only covers products that are currently in support. For Bigmuscle, they may not post on the forum but they still visit and read PMs (and fixes webpages), so as far as we are concerned, Bigmuscle still exists. So if the software is not only working on certain versions of Windows, it doesn't matter. The advice to not donate to use the software on newer versions is OK, since there is no implication or instructions on how to do things that would violate that license.
