Nagware is bad enough but what about activism(ware) - this is my term. I won't mention the software, some of you may have used it back in the day, anyway, the dev hated bush/chenney so much he embedded an animated gif within the app that ranted on and on about em and the dev's hatred for em. It real...

<snip> I know of no easy way to check an ISO for inclusion of a particular system update... I assumed you had already installed the OS. The first thing I did after installation (before going online) was check installed updates , I was happy to see kb2919355 was included. https://i.imgur.com/H9iQk8I...

Sorry, I forgot to ask. If you've used postimages.org, do have any idea why a 1.25mb .png image (like the 2 above) would violate their terms of use? I don't have an account, and tried to simply upload here -> https://postimages.org/ - kept getting the error message. I don't upload images much anymor...

Let's see if I can add a few pics... https://imgur.com/a/QGAZWqY Wow! :shock: What was that brand again? I would want to avoid buying from them, considering that I have had my share of device mishaps -- e.g., the OLED screen of an expensive LG tablet got burn marks from lack of use -- but never hav...

If I can find 8.1 Pro x64 I think I will just install it instead. That was precisely my choice in a new laptop I'm setting up -- I managed to download the official ISO from my university repo, but a tool like HeiDoc DotNET Windows ISO Downloader might help you get the freely available installation ...

I'm thankful that there still exists a tool like this do do the things we ask it to do, IMO mpc-be would be a bit lacking in its ability to stream without the help of yt-dlp... as well yt-dl. I hope yt-dl makes a comeback, despite the recent update yt-dl's future is uncertain, and I would like to se...

IIRC I tried the -min.exe but did have a few issues with it due to this version is missing one or more packages versus the rest??? Please report back any issues with the -min version, I think it was with certain streams. Still, I've become used to extracting the zip and so far I've had no problems, ...

Really sorry to hear Win10 is still a pain in the butt. I suppose the only thing one can do is delay (IIRC) about 30 days using Group Policy and a Metered Connection - this sucks. I have some old new parts and I wanted to build a SFF system and put Win10 Pro x64 on it but I don't want to stress that...

If I could BUMP this topic :) Wonderin' if WUB is still used to help control Win10 and unwanted updates per the user's choice to do so? Does WUB still work as advertised or has MS made it harder (impossible) to control the OS with recent versions of 10 -- temp./perm. blocking unwanted updates/driver...

A few years back I had a number of small jobs I agreed to do for family and friends... washing machings, water heaters, etc. I'm not an appliance repair person so any guidance is helpful. In short, I used my tablet to view videos of tear-down and reassembly of my tasks, or read docs. The tablet had ...

Thanks Andrew for the feedback, much appreciated.

I still like yt-dlp but found out by accident from the issues comments that every time yt-dlp is asked to do anything, display help, download or stream video or audio, it extracts about 100+ files, ~22mb every time to the user's \appdata\temp folder. It cleans up after itself. I'm using yt-dlp with ...
