I temped at a plastic injection molding factory for a few months maybe 10 years ago at most, and they had two closets full of Win 3.x, Win 95, and a few XP capable components so they could repair the systems on the factory floor. I asked why they don't update to modern machines and the licensing costs for the injection molding software had increased by something like a factor of 100, due to "supporting the latest version of Windows".

So, I found out why my local security broke again even with new insider install, apparently having " guarded host" feature installed breaks it entirely.

Windows 98 should run in VMware if I remember correctly. Not qemu, and probably not virtual box, but VMware was fine last time I tried (over a decade ago).

My kids have child accounts on my Win 10 machine. I've just bought my son his first computer, which he is getting for his 9th birthday. It's a laptop running Windows 11. I don't know much about Win 11, but my intention is to set myself up an account on his new computer, and then a child account for him, logging him in using the same email address (an Outlook one) on his new computer as on mine. Will this be enough in terms of security, and preventing him from seeing/doing harmful stuff, or should I consider going further, with some third party software? Assuming no to the third party software, for this to be enough, do I need to restrict his browser usage to Edge (I currently get activity reports including Edge browsing activity for his child account on my Win 10 machine), and if so, how do I do that?

Recently I've noticed that when I wake my desktop up from hibernation, it doesn't have internet (via Ethernet) for ~30 seconds after logging in. The router can see it during this time. What could be causing this delay?

What could be causing this delay? I don't know, but I do know my old board with a 5Gbit Aquantia took ages (ok, several seconds) to connect after hibernate compared to my new board with the cheap 2.5Gbit Realtek that is everywhere. Way faster connection time. I know that doesn't help.

In what way is the "New" Outlook not a downgrade from the Mail app? It doesn't support linked inboxes (from what I can tell) and it looks an awful lot like a lovely web wrapper for an app with a much more crowded and less pleasant interface. I genuinely like Mail for home email stuff when it's not making attachments I send disappear on the receiving end. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 01:48 on May 22, 2023 |

Turns out once a version of windows ships, very few device manufacturers bother with keeping the windows driver repository updated. In my case, it was the difference between getting 3/4ths gigabit and the full gigabit I'm paying for. Realtek just ain't touch poo poo once Windows shiips.

I've ordered a new personal system. I've been using Acronis TrueImage 2017 for backups under Windows 10. I haven't had a need to upgrade until now and I see it's now gone the subscription only route. What's the recommendation for incremental backup software with a perpetual license?

I had hoped that changing to w11 would've fixed my weird bug where when I toggle from headphones to speakers using my creative SBX drivers, sometimes I'll have to toggle it again, because the speakers won't be outputting, it's followed me across multiple installations and builds, but yeah not only did it not fix the bug, but now randomly when I boot I'll just have no sound until I toggle it to headphones and back, not asking for any solutions just wanted to cry about it

Yeah I've definitely done that it's a brand new computer I thank you for trying to help but I've been on and off trying to fix this problem for about 10 years now across three different operating systems and many driver and software updates. I've even bought the newest creative sound card the ae-5 Plus and it had the exact same issues so i just went back to the soundblaster z. I'd get rid of it but I pretty much rely on the switching between speaker output and headphone output, and I'm not terribly interested in the external dac thing that seems to be the trend these days. it's all really just a small annoyance, barely an inconvenience.

At this point I don't know that Creative is a big improvement over Realtek as far as software / driver quality. Sound cards in general are old and busted, there is zero market for them anymore. If you want a high-quality audio interface get a USB DAC. Most of them use an incredibly standardized interface (UAC 1&2) and so the drivers are Microsoft's own standard ones.

It is still way too common for onboard sound to have issues with interference/popping on even expensive motherboards. Coincidentally I had a similar issue when I bought a Fiio DAC that could only be addressed by editing its software config files and turning on a hidden option. You can't win. gently caress sound.
