    Shopping For A New A/V?

    I may give it a try. My big problem with the commercial A/Vs is that they tend to be in your face showing off how good you are supposed to think they are and hence worth the money.

    Windows 11 Huh?

    Thanks for the innspiration to take 11 of the system I am using for my daily driver at home. I can navagate far faster without having to muck around with all those goodies I will never need. I also realize how insane is the fact I have to load a 3rd party program "Startisback" just to get...

    Second Monitor Detected by Windows but not Displaying

    Unfortunately you are correct. The good news is the connectors are really cheap. for example if you look at the current portable dock, the 19 volt large barrel jack has 1 tiny contact for the outside barrel which constantly loses connection. I invented a tool by bendinding a very small tight...

    Plex Media Server

    As much as I try to love this program, it does too much to a catalog I have that's constantly changing. I cut the cord some time ago and very happy I did. TV commercials make me feel very stupid among other things. The only thing I really need real-time is local and national news and they are...

    Buying/Discount Apps.

    This is a little out of the box for this forum, however this has been my home for a very long time. Here's my observations with these shopping/discount apps. They are really doing exactly what the likes of TikTok are being accused of. I guess the good news in if you are clever and wish to play...

    Shopping For A New A/V?

    Quite honestly, I have had it with Windows Security. It's so damn intrusive, almost impossible to keep it quiet pernanently and who knows what it's sending back to Microsoft which is none of their damn business. I am going to find the least vigilant simple A/V program and rely on my own common...

    Script error is stopping me from opening a program (Visma Adminstration).

    Looks like the program author(s) have built in a on-line verification needed over a fixed period of time. It's probably looking for a piece of code downloaded or the program goes into an error state. It's going to need a refresh in the cracked code in order to bypass that part of the code. Your...

    I Miss Notepad

    Nice to know. As I said, it's your friend and can isulate you from a world of hurt. Granted, it isn't pretty, that can be a very good thing sometimes.

    Second Monitor Detected by Windows but not Displaying

    Dell docking stations w/dual display are junk. We have a bunch of them at work and it seems like I am getting RMAs for warranty replacement. They will drive you nuts if you let them. I got a al cheapo Chinese one from Amazon for home use which does the same exact things and hasn't missed a beat...

    I Miss Notepad

    Yes there is Notepad++, but Notepad was the simple way to take a look at anything questionable in a hurry on anyone's system. It was impossible to execute macros, scrips, perl bombs, what have you. All it took was a basic understanding of html and a few coding laguages. Now it makes that harder...

    Windows 11 Huh?

    I have been actively involved in a number of corporate environments of middle sized business. Every time I mention Windows 11 the room goes quiet. Let's be honest Windows 11 offers the home users a bunch of gimmicks that most business would rather not offer their users. It also turns a bunch of...

    Microsoft Office 2021 Pro

    Yeah but that doesn't really answer the KMS problem. KMS installs some components in order for it to be revalidated every 180 days. Bam you guessed it, Windows Security (formerly Defender) sniffs them out every time. There are ways other than KMS for Office, but they are many steps, very...
