How exactly does this apply for a computer?

The first test on that page is to get a response via SNMP/ping. SNMP response need not to be enabled for FTP to work. Did you try to connect using "Test 2" at all? What happens with that? You posted your phone's IP before, do you know the subnet and have you made sure your PC and your phone is on the same IP range and subnet?

First 4 links on this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/154868-importpatcher41-find-and-fix-dependency-problems/#comment-985957 1st is a 404 (uses different path) Other 3 are 500. Also see test posts.

Different phone models may act differently, also how are you connecting to it? Are you on the same subnet? Do you need to enable sharing on the phone? etc.

Nothing. Those aren't selling points. And even so, if you have Windows 10 already, they aren't "hey you might want to upgrade so you can do x" because your OS is going to upgrade whether you like it or not.

You will need to activate eventually. You have 30 days from the date of install before the OS goes into Notification and disables Personalization. If you have connection to the internet now, you can type in your product key and activate online.

Its a nice article but there seems to be too much FUD about it. So they have made a POC extension that is able to do the things the article talks about. The article is really about how Firefox does not have isolation in how it handles add-ons, meaning that the add-ons themselves can use and re-use each others' vars. And they just name drop all the popular ones to grab your attention and get the search hits.

Need to know model of computer or motherboard.

There are a couple of things relating to Windows indexing XML files. Take a look at these: https://forums.logitech.com/t5/Mice-and-Pointing-Devices/my-OS-is-win-7-m510-does-not-save-the-mouse-settings-for-speed/td-p/1303523 https://forums.logitech.com/t5/Mice-and-Pointing-Devices/M510-drops-custom-settings/td-p/1015301

Maybe we can look it up. What model mouse do you have?

Well both of these have apparently happened. Someone sued Seagate because they didn't know the difference between base10 and base2 (it does not seem to bring in post file system size) http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2007/10/26/seagate_lawsuit_concludes_settlement_announced/1 Apple lawsuit over space (also mentions a similar one vs Microsoft over the Surface, same thing): http://www.techrepublic.com/article/lawsuit-against-apple-for-ios-storage-misrepresentation-get-the-facts/ The Seagate example is forgivable. For the mobile devices, I think the lesson should be that you don't advertise the space. So you don't call it "the 64GB" model. How should mobile devices be handled when it comes to storage? Make it so the included space is for the OS and if the user wants to save data then they use a memory card? Or maybe put 2 flash storage in there, one un-advertised amount of space that the OS uses specifically, and another for user storage especially in the case where there is no memory card slot.

If running WinPE in Ramdisk (as opposed to flat) the boot image is extracted and run from RAM. The .wim size is the compressed size. So you boot image is a minimum the file size plus whatever you are actually running. The actual size can be determined by using Imagex /info on the .wim file, the XML should tell you how big it actually is. Or you could deploy/recapture with using /compress:none, then the .wim size should be actual extracted size.

These kind of articles are written like they are talking about some future scifi world. Sure this type of highway control system could exist, but would only make sense if it were on its own. Segregated roadways that can be computer controlled and the only regular traffic would be the computer controlled vehicles. That will be required because regular "old fashioned" cars will still exist for a long time.

I believe they are covered by the disclaimer that less than advertised space is available. For example, from Verizon's website for iPhone SE:

Install your mouse software and go into it in Control Panel. See if you can re-assign your buttons there. F12 for screenshots, I believe, was a function of the program itself. Some programs (games) it works, some it doesn't or you need to configure it for that. It used to be, that you could use Ctrl+Print Screen to send text directly to the printer. I'm not sure if that is used anymore. I just set my default printer to the XPS Document Writer, and press Ctrl+Print Screen and nothing happened. An aside, I opened paint and pasted a screenshot, so Ctrl+Print Screen seemed to (at least) operate the same as Print Screen on its own.

I can see the possibility for one to be filed relating to HIPAA.

IPB last free version was 1.3F/2.0, afterwards they then moved into paid only. They stopped support for free version of the forum and keep that same model with the paid versions. Eventually you get to a point where you have to upgrade to the newest version or you don't get patches anymore. So a forum owner has the choice to upgrade to the newest version, stay on a vulnerable old version or switch to another forum software. Converting to a different software is way more work than updating to a new version of the same software. Especially if the forum has a lot of custom content. Also not all forum software have the same things or are only available as a mod or add-on. Suggesting to move to a different forum software is not something that can be done easily. In cases where this is done, it either involves a ton of work on the backend OR the forum starts out fresh. So switching to another software really isn't a viable option unless you absolutely have to. A recent example that I remember was Assembler, where they had a server failure and then did a conversion before relaunching the site, but that site was down for a long time in the process.

Lawyers? What seems interesting is that apparently MS can't offer Windows 2000 for download due to their settlement with Sun re: the Java lawsuit. Since it also can't be redistributed, this makes the only legal way to acquire the install media is to find a CD with it on there.

Well it is not entirely accurate that it has "no software" ... there are currently 2 different pre-install methods for Office 2016: - Office 2013 v15.4 is pre-installed. This version of Office 2013 that could unlock Office 2013 product keys, or if you put in an Office 2016 product key it would download 2016 and remove 2013. - Office 2016 pre-installs and identifies itself as Office 365 but most of the bits are there. Updates to 2016 were available by the time this one would be used and after you activate, it would automatically download the update before you could begin to use it. Now one big thing with Office 2016 is that to activate you must have a Microsoft Account. When you activate, the product key gets assigned to the account. This causes trouble for anyone who would want to use Office on a computer with no internet access.

Microsoft itself claims 112,388 worldwide employees (not the 118,000,000 that Statista claims) so phones alone could not be it. Even if you were to include the contractors, I doubt it adds that much more. But I agree with your math. From my own personal experience, 100% of the people I have met that have a Windows phone was a Microsoft employee and 100% of the Microsoft employees I've met have Windows phones. I have also run into a couple people who have Android or iPhone and set their phone signature to make you think that they had a Windows phone...

It is likely that Windows 2000 as a 7zip file is warez, so it can't be discussed here.

Supposedly there Windows 10 for phones only is available on 2 models that were released in Dec 2015, and apparently only "sold" 4.5 million of those. http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/28/10858474/microsoft-earnings-report-q2-2016 So even if that number isn't 100% correct, I still don't think phone sales are being figured in. Anyways I doubt any company would say exactly where numbers like this come from. I mean, they put this out to brag about the amount of sales. It is less a news story and more of an advertisement. If they were to break down exactly how the numbers work out, it probably wouldn't be so exciting. I wonder if this would get put into an annual report...

I only found out about being able to drag the quote when I hovered the mouse over it. And the crosshair thing showed up in the corner, which reminded me of similar type thing in Word if you add a picture to a document. If there is a how-to guide, I don't know where it is, I think we are all just figuring it out together.

Load More Content on Custom Stream either doesn't work OR is showing the button when there is no content. That is one thing I hadn't considered. I reported this already but when I use it, it just makes the entire page unavilable and puts a busy animation on the screen. It never completes! Also if you were to make a quote, then want to post before it, you must post below it and then drag the quote below what you typed.

So... again with these "look how good our thing is" reports from Microsoft, leave us to wonder where this number comes from. We have speculated in the past that their numbers may include VL and phones. It would be interesting if they are getting this information from their telemetry stuff. If that is the case, then people like @NoelC wouldn't be counted because he blocked all that with his firewall?
