the ubuntu shell thing is super good. i've installed a bunch of packages off the top of my head and they're all working

drat, i wonder how apple will respond to this. perhaps they'll have their arm twisted into completely rewriting their OS from the ground up and basing it on Unix.

i tried to install the update again - the computer logs off, restarts, looks like it boots to a update screen then immediately reboots again. helpful.

i checked the event log and found some unintelligible info level reports from the windows crash reporter. well, might as well see if i can figure out where the error log got dumped to.

hresult 0x80073BC3? all hresults of the form 0x8007xxxx are actually win32 errors, so this is win32 error 0x3bc3, or 15299, which is ERROR_SYSTEM_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND. doubt it helps but so there :tipshat:

well duh

code:

FORCEINLINE HRESULT HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(unsigned long x) {

seriously though the real problem is that theres a nice index of what all the error codes do on msdn but if you punch a code into bing or google that page won't ever come up

did it replace your video drivers?

because it will do that if you have windows set to get all updates the same way as critical updates and it decides whatever bullshit it finds in WU is newer than the OEM drivers you're using

I once got in an argument with a Windows programmer over whether or not a short int is smaller than an int and a long int is larger than an int.

my win 7 settings were set to only get updates for windows. i guess i could check if they changed that setting.

i suppose ill have to use group policy to stop autorestarts after updates too, since my desktop also serves as a file server for all our other devices to share media.

whoops

until you get an actual file server you can set its active hours to cover whenever anyone would be using the files on the file server

if you need to start the file server software manually (including logging in*) after boot, uh, whoops

just go into the update settings and set your active hours and it will update when you're inactive.

http://hackaday.com/2016/08/02/microsoft-live-account-credentials-leaking-from-windows-8-and-above/

quote:

Discovered in 1997 by Aaron Spangler and never fixed, the WinNT/Win95 Automatic Authentication Vulnerability (IE Bug #4) is certainly an excellent vintage. In Windows 8 and 10, the same bug has now been found to potentially leak the user�s Microsoft Live account login and (hashed) password information, which is also used to access OneDrive, Outlook, Office, Mobile, Bing, Xbox Live, MSN and Skype (if used with a Microsoft account).

To exploit this, an attacker would simply set up a network share. An embedded image link that points to that network share is then sent to the victim, for example as part of an email or website. As soon as the prepped content is viewed inside a Microsoft product such as Edge/Spartan, Internet Explorer or Outlook, that software will try to connect to that share in order to download the image. Doing so, it will silently send the user�s Windows login username in plaintext along with the NTLMv2 hash of the login password to the attacker�s network share.

im a home user. this more file server more in the sense that "there's network shared folders on my computer with music and movies in them that we watch on the other devices in our house". this has always worked fine historically, but obviously if we're watching something at 2am or whatever on our bedroom NUC and my pc restarts because of an update that's kind of annoying. there's no way my wife would let me spend money to build a dedicated machine too be a real file server for our house, lol.
