Apple made some new IoT nonsense and one of their selling points is that you can integrate across all of your Apple devices with the Apple ID. I guess we aren't at full saturation yet where regular people think that is a bad idea.

The original boot-land url is giving a 404, but I cannot get to reboot.pro at the moment.

If only Windows 7 authentication was handled by MySQL!

It depended on the disk type at upgrade. In one way, the upgrade would replace the original recovery partition and in another way it would leave it and add a new one. You wouldn't be able to boot into it unless you edited the BCD. In either case or OS, it would not touch additional partitions such as if it had a partition for the recovery image.

Thanks for letting me join, I want to build a 98se machine
Tripredacus replied to GamexFr34k's topic in Windows 9x/ME
In my own experience, 512MB RDRAM was faster (better/whatever in XP) than 1GB DDR. It wasn't until I was able to get a board/cpu with DDR2 did I abandon Rambus on my main XP PC. And by that time, 1GB wouldn't cut it anymore anyways. This is why it is now in my Win98. -

A voodoo card isn't required, it is just a favorite. On AGP you can go up to 250MB VRAM so there are a lot more options. The only real reason to use a Voodoo card now is if you want to run Glide and that could be specific enough to warrant another computer to run those games. Here are my computer's specs for reference: Mainboard: Intel D850MV CPU: Intel Pentium IV 2.0GHz RAM: 768MB RDRAM PC800 Video: Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT 256MB Note that the P4 on an Intel board require a 400W PSU. It can run just about anything but it has Windows 98FE, so no actual DOS is present. -
You don't need a product key for reinstalling a Windows 10 free upgrade type. For making that media, you can still use MS website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

They never have had the reason to bother with marketing like that. Because of their market share and channel policies, it is business as usual, they can just force people into the new version and no one can do anything about it. They only had commercials for Windows 10 when it was still possible to purchase a computer with Windows 7 or 8.1 from the OEM (but not retail) market. Now, their advertising is only about specific devices. Some are Surface related, others are really just ads for their featured partners like HP for some model of notebook. And notice that, all the ads I ever see is for mobile devices, never for normal desktops.

Are you saying welcome to us or making yourself welcome?

There isn't much new to be said about Windows 10. It feels like a feeling of helplessness has overtaken everyone. I still try to avoid it. I do not like to use it, but the complaint is merely Explorer related. I'm sure it would be a lot better using a custom shell.

Blame Europe: http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm A lot of websites just did a cya and made the notification enabled for everyone. I believe it is something the forum software does automatically.

Not knowing exactly what you had experienced, I would guess it is related to how the OS can only have 1 gateway at a time. It doesn't matter if you are connecting two interfaces to one or two to two. When using automatic settings, when you connect to a new network, it will use the gateway as assigned by the DHCP server and then the existing gateway will no longer be used and the new one will. It can switch anytime a renew is done. The outward appearance to this is that you can "lose connection" when using a setup this way. It is not recommended to connect to multiple dhcp servers unless they are specifically set up to allow full access on both networks, or to use static IPs where one has a gateway (usually for internet traffic) and the other does not. This is not limited to Windows.

I doubt that any software has recorded what created the file, I think that is what you are asking. You can try opening the file in a hex editor/strings viewer and see if Word had written the original file location in there somewhere.

Microsoft patches Windows XP to fight 'WannaCry' attacks
Tripredacus replied to Jody Thornton's topic in Windows XP
It indicates that there is a fair amount of private contracts with companies that are still paying for extended support on XP. More-so than to make patches specifically available to those companies and it would be easier to make it available on the enterprise level of update support, the WSUS catalog and the MS Catalog update site. -
On Vista, isn't it also required to disable the automatic defrag or am I thinking of something else?

Split to new topic, change title as you see fit. This guide, even made for WinPE2 or 3, is still valid for creating a WinPE 10 boot wim.

Commercials You Hate/Trends in Commercials
Tripredacus replied to Tommy's topic in General Discussion
One I do not understand is on Twitter. There are promoted tweets, which are ads. If that promoted tweet has a video on it, sometimes then that video will play an ad first. It is too much for me to handle this type of situation. I block the accounts where that happens, except for NHL. -
Does it not work already? Can you post your SSD model number?

You can also disable password expiry with wmic, but the command needs the user account name: wmic useraccount where "name='Support'" set PasswordExpires=false I use a command like that in a .cmd I run in FirstLogonCommands for custom deployments.

is there any free web camra software to record?
Tripredacus replied to yugioh47's topic in Windows 10
I typically use BisonCam / BisonCam NB Pro for testing various webcams. You can find this as the camera software for the webcams on most notebooks (Microstar, Sager, Lenovo, HP, etc). It may be labelled with a driver, but not using the driver the software has worked with (at least) testing the functionality of any webcam I have found in 10 years or so. The software installs per-user. -
What are the current "best practices" to avoid spying Windows updates?
Tripredacus replied to osRe's topic in Windows 8
Does there exist a list of all the protocols, destinations and ports that a Windows 10 system tries to communicate with? -
Not true. All Skylake systems that do not have an OS supplied by one of these 12 OEMs are also under the same situation as the Kaby Lake CPUs.
