I feel incredibly dirty for asking this, but does anyone have a legit download link for an XP iso? I need to make sure they are blocked with the host checks on our VPN and I don't have a good way to validate without it

I used to have access to that but they changed the licensing/access structure a few years ago and cut me off. I was hoping there were secret digital river links still up or something

I have no idea if that will work with Parallels. worth a shot

i think you're outta luck, they've pulled all those digitalriver file anyway iirc, but i don't think they ever hosted stuff from before windows 7 there.

just find a known good hash and face to torrents i guess

i don't know if what you're doing is in anyway worth the time and effort involved, but you can pull the sysprepped image from the virtual PC instance in xp mode and just redeploy it in parallels

ms hosed something up with display scaling this update. dragging stuff around to rearrange it in foobar is busted, it's moving relative as far as i can tell.

publishing a webb app on microsoft azure:

follow the simple tutorials, works fine

need to install pyodbc, can't because the compiler for sql.h has the wrong flag

welp

I ended up installing everything by hand forgoing everything ci. A person on stackexchange said for his purpose rewriting his app completely in c# would be quicker than getting microsoft to not hate python. Another weird thing I found while looking at documentation: You can't run java and c# side by side because of "technical reasons".

yeah i played with that and the application scaling setting fixed that although if i ever drag it to my high dpi monitor then the font is at like 4px, although it lives on my second monitor so whatever.

with a five second look at twitter it sounds like adobe stuff got hosed up more though so there's problems like button hot areas not lining up with the actual buttons, and it also might have changed some defaults to the blurry option so there's that too.

all my settings, including dumb bullshit i typed into the terminal to unhide the user library, have been intact since i bought my first mac with 10.9

meanwhile, windows 10 can't even preserve settings between seasonal "creators" updates

Two pages back, but my parents had this happen too. Frantic text messages from my father last night wondering if he got malware. Nope, just windows ten making a 450 drive partition and then immediately bitching it's low on space.

you don't need to go into library more than like once a year maybe?, why unhide it?

if you really need it, just use terminal or cmd-shift-G or whatever

apparently if you set windows to english language with latvian keyboard layout, there will be a ghost english keyboard layout sometimes appearing on language switch but invisible in both settings menus

does it randomly just change layouts on you too?

that was always fun in vista/7 when microsoft would by default include the candian french layout if your region was set to canada.
