So far I get the following: 1. Windows shows a wrong architecture message for msports 2. SFC says msports doesn't match crc with the file in winsxs 3. SFC says the msports in the datastore is corrupted You have x64 in your forum profile, is that also the type you are using here? If the OS is 64bit and uses a 64bit process, it may show a message like #1 if it tries to use a 32bit binary or vice versa. The file it tries to use may be actually fine. I'd validate the file by opening it in some sort of program that can read headers or a decompiler. Typically opening a binary in a program designed to read binaries will fail immediately if the file is actually corrupt. Make sure the environment variables for the OS are not modified. Basically, this could all be true IF Windows is trying to use the wrong msports, if there are actually 2 versions, one in System32 and one in Syswow64.

No appropriate option for Yes/Indifferent. I only use it on one computer, it is v115 and uses HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript and uBlock Origin. Technically my Win98FE computer has Firefox installed, some early version like 0.9 iirc but this computer doesn't ever use it for going online, only internal network stuff.

You will find that people in every country will say the same things about the security agencies in their own country.

Whatever FSB does is not different than what other agencies in other countries do or attempt to do. They are all running shadow games.

Invision Power Services, the company who makes the forum. And re your second post, what you see with the duplicates is what I was referring to in my post.

IPS implementation of it makes it not really useful. It also is not very good since it will list the same device as multiple. I'm sure banks do something similar and so do things like payroll and insurance companies. And for those examples, it is usually tied in with MFA and is more annoying because I'm fairly certain those sites are also seeing 1 device as multiple, and then trigger MFA or confirmation steps. IPS doesn't do anything like that, at least by default. IMO until however these sites come up with this information resolves this duplication issue, they shouldn't be forcing additional steps like they do now.

The forum has a function called Display Name History. I don't know if it is enabled here or potentially it is not used based on how we change names.

The basic gist is that Telegram is one of the few social media platforms that did not accept censorship demands of foreign governments, for good or for bad. Pavel Durov even had this MO when he ran VK. https://t.me/durov/179 He is being charged with the crimes of his users. What makes his situation different from other social media CEOs is that all the other companies work with governments to censor their users, not just criminals or political opponents. I think these charges cannot stand because it basically means that any "webmaster" (the term used in the French complaint) is reponsible for illegal content and if so all social media platforms would go away. Also this is another situation where a government is trying to enforce laws on a company that is not in their domain. UK has been speaking like this recently when it says it will try to extradite people from other countries who violate the UK speech laws, even if that person posted on a non-EU site.

The message the nvidia installer gives is due to the HwID not being found or having a matching arch/OS the primary INF. I did not look at all, but the "64" CAB from MS did not have the HwID in the nvhda.inf. It doesn't match to the SUBSYS in nv_desktop_ref4wu.inf. So this is not the driver. In an INF, if a the subsys is present, then Windows will try to match to that. It doesn't matter if the VEN/DEV matches, if the subsys doesn't then it will report to the installer that the device isn't present.

Windows 11 Enterprise Setup UX cannot delete an MSR partition on a disk. You need to use the cmd (Shift+F10) to use diskpart to clean the disk, then close the cmd, and refresh the disk ui to be able to see a fully unallocated disk to install onto. Obvious this also requires that you are trying to install the OS onto a used disk.

Password Myths - Change Passwords Every 90 Days
Tripredacus replied to Monroe's topic in Technology News
The onus has been placed upon the user to make sure their password is secure. But this is a fallacy, as the weakness of a password was only an issue decades ago when the primary way of getting into an account is to guess a user's password. Or if not guess, then run a rainbow table on it, or whatever other method. Then, even now, having to have a complex or often changed password is only the domain of a priveledged individual and not the common person. 99.9999% of the security issues that involve compromised accounts these days do not come from guessing or a brute force method, rather the insecurity of the provider that hosts the account. Offloading the burden of protection to the user is a mistake. The service provider is the one who is responsible for security breaches. So the reason why you have a hundred different accounts on a hundred websites and have to change your password all of the time is because the websites are bad at security. Somehow the user being responsible for these things has become mainstream and you end up with articles like the op posted. -
There was some concern (by someone or multiple) that the software contained in one of the links was "dangerous" which was communicated in a report and an Admin hid the post. As I posted above, it was not deleted.
-
Normally we only will delete accounts if a user is in EU and sends a properly formatted GDPR request but I do not know if that is what happened here. Another reason may be if the user had a temporary email domain on their account, as it says in the rules, sometimes accounts tied to those get purged.
-
The links post was "hidden" but someone quoted it. I don't particularly feel there is need to hide that type of information, We can find such things exist, and then others can post that it is false, a mirror (authorized or not) on github, or has bad/incomplete data. That is correcting the record and is fine. That way someone can know what those links are and not have to guess.

Posting test: string boot .ini causes HTTP 403 forbidden error
Tripredacus replied to jaclaz's topic in Site & Forum Issues
On some visits there is a delay on load of a JS that can cause some issues if you try to use the site too fast. Such as first visit, I have to wait before I can look at notifications because if I click that too soon, I go to the notifications tab, rather than getting the toast on the index. Sometimes when viewing a page, it appears loaded but isn't. As you can tell from the small address bar that shows up in the bottom or there is a loading animation instead of the favicon in the browser tab. This script delay seems to be random to the user, heavy users will see it more often. But if this happens when you attempt a reply, then it can cause issues where the client looks to be in process of submitting but hasn't actually sent the POST method, or sometimes it has and the post is created but the client didn't refresh, or it just sits there forever but doesn't time out. This issue seems more prevalent on browsers that are customized with some sort of privacy. For example. this doesn't happen running on Iron with no extensions running, but trying to run the site in Firefox with any security extensions is an issue. I think that some of the external script sources are themselves using external sources, an issue I've seen on other sites and this cause a partial slow load on some sites. -
Can a UDIMM be used in an RDIMM-supporting motherboard?
Tripredacus replied to 173a's topic in Hardware Hangout
Here's the manual https://www.tyan.com/manuals/m_s5360_100.pdf It says 184-pin DDR 333/266 Registered ECC with single chip sizes of 256, 512 or 1024Mb. (their nomenclature) Whether an unregistered will work, it is not going to be a 100% answer because all boards and RAM are different. You can go further by looking up the spec sheets of the RAM itself and compare them. But my experience tells me that there are going to be some boards where using UDIMM on RDIMM is going to either a) work fine, b) not work, c) not work fine or d) cause damage. So unless you can find any post online of someone who has tried the same exact RAM that you have in the same board rev and they say it works, then it will probably work. But real world isn't so handy to be able to find that info, so you are likely to have to try it yourself to see if it works or not. I've also not experienced any situation where having an unsupported type of memory in a board has caused damage. Either with old Pentium systems or modern server boards. I suspect those instances of damage were likely caused by something other than mismatched memory, such as dirt or some other situation. -

Spam service isn't perfect but makes things manageable. You do not know the horrors of the before times. Or maybe a recent situation a short time ago when the spam service lapsed for just a couple days and there were hundreds of spam posts. -
So am I to understand there are currently 2 "fake" aka archived repos, and 1 original now deleted, and one scam now deleted?

Do not paste so much text into a reply, instead either make it as an attachment or post it onto another site like pastebin or host the attachment on a file share instead. But regarding the info you posted, Hardcoded Breakpoint shouldn't be in released software, so if the browser generated this message you have to go to the author to get it resolved.

This isn't related to the word filter. -
It only effected companies who use the CrowdStrike middleware, the data files that triggered the crash in the CrowdStrike driver were not pushed from the public Windows Update.

Windows 98/ME Unofficial Service Pack Chinese Simplified

I can't verify the link (the connection times out) so I'll have to take your word that you linked to the OS itself. You cannot put a link to a Windows OS on this site. -
I would look into this section to see if anything is mentioned. https://msfn.org/board/forum/41-visual-styles/
