Re: mirror, mirror on the wall- which OS is the best of all
After spending the last week or so playing around with Vista Home Premium, and Windows Se7en I can say with no remorse that these Progies are pure junk. I'm running the Vista right now and the OS does work somewhat but its design is as stupid as it gets. I gave up on Windows 7 RC because I couldn't find things in it like settings...ect. For me its Xp. My HD with Xp Home installed is sitting here begging to be put back in the PC and so it will be shortly."It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

Re: mirror, mirror on the wall- which OS is the best of all
I don't like the way Vista is "organized" either. Something simple like a small change in settings that takes 5 seconds to do in XP will take 5 minutes to do in Vista, mostly because all the extra steps you'd have to do.
I think I'll skip Vista too.Comment

This found its way to my workbench this week.
Wired Wall Light Cam S100
The buyer thought he got a great deal but it turns out it was likely dead and the seller tried to get anything they could for it by passing it off on an unsuspecting buyer.
Rather than tossing it in the bin he gave it to me to play with as he knows how much I love to try to solve problems like these.
The camera portion of this device worked fine when powered via USB but when on the mains it would not work at all.
This reminded me of the eufy floodlight... -
Hi There!
I'm trying to help my friend who owns a restaurant be just bought.
He has a very long LED strip running along all the walls and columns. The strip is attached facing down 2in above the floor, using a wall panel that ends in a metal rail that finishes the panel underneath
It's stuck using, I guess, the 2 sided tape that comes with the strip
The issue is that like 1/2 of the full length, including 1/2 one wall, another entire wall, and one column, flickers after 4 or 5 minutes ON. Particularly it flashes staying OFF most of the time and flashing ON for 1 tenth... -

Dear all,
I forgot my BIOS password of my Surface Pro 3, I searched for solutions for a long time and knew that by using FPT to dump my bios to bin file and using decryptor, I can get my BIOS password.
Now I have a problem that I am unable to dump my BIOS into bin file.
My Surface Pro 3 currently runs on Ubuntu 22.04, with Secure Boot enabled and Boot From SSD Only.
I searched for FPT but there is no Linux version and none of them work.
I hereby request a copy of Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux x64.
I would really appreciate it if anyone... -
What OS are you running these days? I am down to 3 Windows workstations and one Windows Server on my LAN, everything that doesn't have a windows-specific need has been moved to Linux. Printing abilities with my large document centers are Linux's kryptonite; the reason for 2 of the Windows machines. The third machine still has Win7 on it, and isn't connected to the outside world. It has tons of software on it I use for diagnostics and updating various hardwares. My main rig is still Win10 Enterprise, so I had to vote Win10 in the poll...but I have overwhelmingly more linux machines than windows...Windows 1129.41%15Windows 1023.53%12Windows 8/8.1 or 713.73%7Windows Vista (I'm a glutton)0%0Windows XP (I just can't let go!)3.92%2Windows 2000 / ME / 9x (Ok, this one is a funny, maybe!!)0%0Some flavor of Linux (brag on your distro in a post)25.49%13MacOS - OSX (Poor diluted souls!!)3.92%2Google Chrome/chromebox/chromebook0%0What's a PC?
