After thinking about this for a while, it's not for the reason you think. The reason he said to you "it’s rather late to call yourself a “legacyfan.”" is because he thought you want Windows to be fully patched with security updates (that is, patching it from any vulnerability). So, I think @Vistapocalypse rather stands a point about that.

I know, you already said that in your topic.

to me it's seemed like recently @Vistapocalypse does not like me (he even said I don't really qualify as a "legacyfan" due to asking about suggestions on getting server 2008 updates (he does not like updates)

Who is this@Vistapocalypse, is it a famous developer or smth ? I just don't know.

RIGHTO ... I got that and thank you, @mina7601.

I'm am following vistapocalypse but I don't know them all that well other than are infrequent correspondence here-and-there on threads.

Hmmm ... overall things seem to be pretty good here as far as I can see.

Good and all is well here and I went for a walk today around the complex and said hello to a few people first (usually I don't speak unless spoken to first)

You're welcome.

Its become apparent I don't know how to mourn the loss, be it a person or a past time when I was different - 'people say this' and 'people say that' and it doesn't resonate whilst I'm full aware that that time is gone and its today, but I'm secretly struggling. I'm having a hard time dealing with recent suicides in youth. I'm also so sick of pills; pills; pills as the only answer.

See, I make no sense.

Sorry I'll try later. Just ate dinner and people here are singing so that is a good sign but some people don't know they are in full denial and the problem is I am far too self aware and far too much. Sorry guys, I realize I'm rambling away, please just know I'm nuts.

EDIT:

The I wonder is being in denial a good thing? Hmmmm!

If people don't see something that is wrong, should they or better to not know, trouble is I took the red pill a long time ago and I can't turn back and pretend and close my eyes as they are wide open. I just have to keep some things to myself but I'm a conflicted soul and wondering drifter.

Guys ...

Why do I have to have Enable write caching on the disk or else its takes a zillion years to shut down the computer?

Thank you in advance.

My hard drive is in bad shape anyway so maybe just degrading finally.

No matter what I do nothing will remap that bad sector and the rest is age related and I'm not complaining that it is still working. Heck, I'm surprised I'm still working with what I've put my body and mind through. I know I've asked about this but I can't find my old postings related to it. Even test and repair and the full chkdsk wont do it.

I meant what does he do ? His specialty ? From my very short encounter with him (her?) , I remember he (she?) was an expert on using the word "dude" in his local area.

Hi Sal, how do you do ! XP chkdsk is a total joke ! The only thing that really remaps the sectors is a FULL (not quick!) reformat . It will delete all of the data on the disk.

My grandfather haunted me for decades (and still does). We had a strong connection, so after he passed away, I could still see him (from time to time) in his room.

In the evenings mostly, just sits on his couch and does nothing. Then I burned almost all of his things except some - his dagger, and the motorcycle etc., so I could channel the energy to summon him,

 Why ? I decided not to fight it 'cause he meant no harm and I accepted to just live with it . I don't mourn him. Never did. I loved him , yes, but didn't mourn.

I sometimes need his advice and he visits at night, after I channel the energy . With years he became less apparent. And I need more an more energy to summon him again.

Creepy, I know.

I don't have SHA2 and still alive . Chrome doesn't need it. Games also don't.

Not sure why it behaves like that in this case in particular since data is supposed to be flushed to disk eventually anyway if it's enabled. I leave that turned on as the performance hit without it is horrible.

Yeah, AFAIK writing to the bad sector remaps it.

I also have a problem with my data disk, 17 bad sectors, not sure how to go about it. I was going to make an image of it and rewrite it to strengthen the magnetic records before I noticed the problem, it's over 10 years old at this point, bought in 2010 I think, now this is stopping me, dd probably won't like the bad sectors, few days ago I rescued one of the files (it was downloaded from the internet so nothing lost), but original just couldn't be read, got CRC error from Windows.

I'm not sure how to check which files are bad, would 7-Zip let me know if I just select the folder and initiate checksum calculation? Do I start copying to another disk with Robocopy to check?

Thinking of giving Ddrescue (Wikipedia) a spin eventually, but I currently have zero experience with that program.
