Yes, but at much higher cost.

OK, but seriously, X, Y and Z are these:

1. Reboot

2. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

3. sfc /scannow

The only answers you’ll get.

Because for me Windows was not easier to use.

I only got my first proper computer in 2020, and comparing Windows 10 with Linux Mint 20, I found the latter much simpler to use not having used either one prior. Just having to bounce between Control Panel and new Settings, plus a lot of tutorials shown magic with registries…
Also, I had a lot of problems with uninstallers failing or not removing programs completely, and getting permissions to remove files directly was also pain in the ass, even as “Administrator”. That often resulted in me booting up live Linux DVD to remove crap programs from Windows.

I gave it a try, but I didn’t like it. Perhaps I’d like MacOS though. It seems similar enough. But Windows just feels like 2 decades of hotfixes glued together.

Sounds like you already got started.
Do you have more precise questions? Doesn’t matter if it’s something “simple”.

Because the post was removed. But the reason is right there:

Edit: Nevermind, you should still be able to see your own posts if you are logged in.

By the way, with some not so ancient devices you can search for the firmware here: https://software.cisco.com/download/home and at least get MD5 and SHA-512 hashes to verify the files you downloaded.

Not the case with this AP though.

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. Also the exact filename. Makes it easy finding it online.

There’s one LED advertisement board in my area that I see pretty often. Nowdays I’d say it shows something it’s not supposed to more often than an advertisement.

Previously I’ve seen BSOD on it a couple of times, but recently a lot. Also “Finish setting up this device” and part of the desktop showing Windows 11 wallpaper.
My guess is someone upgraded it from Windows 10 to 11, and now it works even less.

Surprised?

Google mail is extremely unlikely to get shut down.

But anyway, Proton Mail allows importing e-mails from Google.

I found more info here (news.com.au).
Also shows image of the pipe and:

“[It] appears right now the pump was put in there, and it was probably malfunctioning because of the open pipe that she ended up in was supposed to be pushing water out.”

They just pull out of those states. How is that an attack?

Good idea.

You can still get the newest DD-WRT builds even on the WRT54G.
That is a Wi-Fi router from 2002.

Of course, the features are sort of limited. I tried the VPN build (on WRT54GL), but I couldn’t get the OpenVPN client to connect. I found some thread mentioning it may be missing something, but I don’t know if that’s the issue.

Anyway, without overclocking I’d expect like 2Mbps. I mean, it barely handles HTTPS. Just trying to load the WebUI maxes out the CPU for several seconds if trying to use HTTPS.
Perhaps it’s not missing anything software-wise, but it’s just so slow it times out during handshake.
So I just put the std build on it in case it will be useful at some point.

My lazy way is NGINX with autoindex.

If it’s to go over untrusted network (e.g.: internet, school network) I use SSH for port forwarding. Lazy encryption.

Something like this works just fine:

worker_processes 1;
daemon off;
events {
}
http {
        default_type application/octet-stream;
        server {
                root /storage/emulated/0/sharedfile;
                listen 127.0.0.1:30000;
                location / {
                      autoindex on;
                }
        }

}

sharedfile is a directory with the files.
On remote machine if I am not mistaken

ssh -L 127.0.0.1:8080:127.0.0.1:30000 username@host

Then just access it in web browser on 127.0.0.1:8080 or whatever port you chose.
In PuTTY you can find this under “Tunnels”.

Of course, you need to have SSH server set up as well.

The trend has been blamed on the high cost of raising and educating children, and the lack of affordable housing

However, some older programs may actually behave better in Wine than say on Windows 11.
Oh, it also supports ancient 16 bit programs which Windows doesn’t anymore.

You’re referring to dumb home routers right?

Because for example OPNsense recommeds at least 8GB of RAM, though the bare minimum is 2GB.
And even purpose-built enterprise routers are certainly in similar ballpark. BGP will eat that.

I don’t think I’ve seen one of those dumb ones with nearly that much RAM. Usually they’re like 16MB/32MB. Guess I’ll have to check.

Same boat, I just use the Discord website on my phone. The account I created with designated e-mail address for this.
Unfortunately, e-mail notifications are kinda random. It can be like 1 day late before I receive notification that someone tagged me or whatever. They could just use regular mail at this point.

I grew up with access to social media. I got an Android 4.1 tablet when I was 8. Actually, I wish my parents had less strong opinions on it.

That’s because they went the other way around.
My dad wanted me to have a Facebook account, which I created, and then was upset at me when I deleted it when I was 12 because of the dumb hateful “jokes” floating around there.
Then later he again urged me to at least use Messenger, as if he didn’t have a plan with unlimited SMS and phone calls…

I am an adult now, but not much has changed. It only went from Facebook to TikTok.

I mean, VPSs with 512MB of RAM exist, so surely it’s still useful for something.
