Agree it looked more red to me, but light enough I get it if people remember it being pink.

It’s a reference to a scene in The Matrix.

Not all the time, some mod creators lock their stuff behind a paywall. But also a few modders a while back started taking down their own mods official downloads so it was up to others to keep archives.

That’s what a lot of people were using the ModPiracy subreddit for but it kept being taken down and migrating to new subs.

Awesome! thanks, I’m sorta living under a rock these days when it goes to video game news.

As someone who doesn’t follow the Halo series, what is this? an older canned game or some new unreleased thing?

My personal experience has been hit n miss.

Was using one 4TB Seagate for 11 years then bought a newer model to replace it since I thought it was gonna die any day. That new one died within 6 months. The old one still works although I don’t use it for for anything important now.

The average person thinks digital = magic! and marketers/governments, etc are well aware of that, and will abuse that fact anytime they can.

Ever had to explain to someone that “the cloud” isn’t a physical cloud in the sky keeping their passwords & nudes safe? I have way too many times.

I’m no expert by any means but.

1. The the LTSC branch of windows is the enterprise version Microsoft sell only to businesses that require less flashy feature and longer security support since most business don’t update machines frequently. IOT just seems to be the LTSC version with the longest supported update cycle.

2. It’s slightly less bloated at least the Win10 version doesn’t come with pre-installed games and didn’t even have the Microsoft store installed by default. It still comes with telemetry but heard some say online they’ve had an easier time disabling it and keeping it disabled on the LTSC versions.

3. It’s “free” as in a sandwich you find on the side of the road is free. Microsoft REALLY doesn’t want regular users using their business only services but people always find a way.

4. It’s really only for people who currently refuse Linux but also can’t/won’t upgrade to Windows 11. I’m only suggesting it because I’d rather people at least still get security updates than use a completely unsupported OS.

While I love Linux and wish more people would switch over, I know damn well most people just want to keep using Windows. The people who REALLY want Linux will find it.

Right now I’ve been offering my friends n family who don’t want Win11 two options.

• I help them get started using Linux.

• Or I show them how to get the IoT LTSC branch of Win10 that’ll still get security updates until at the latest 2032.

Most of them including the more tech savy folks just want to keep Win10 with updates, Some have opted to try Linux on a dual boot but few have stuck with it.

14yo me spent all day waiting for extended cut of the original Dawn of the Dead to download only to find out at 2am it was an Italian dub.

Couldn’t think of any temporary fix I’d done…Then I remembered I’ve been running an network cable out my bedroom window and into the room where the router is for nearly a decade now.

I told myself I’d get around to drilling a hole for it…In the previous place and ended up doing the same thing when I moved here over 3 years ago.

Who’da thunk it.

I’ve been told if you see a censored meme it’s probably because someone took it from facebook.

I dunno what’s going on with the moderation over there as I deleted my account nearly a decade ago, back when getting full gore popping up in your feed wasn’t uncommon…

Clonezilla Is what I normally use for cloning drives, including my boot drive. You flash it to a USB drive then.

Maybe look up a Youtube guide first but I’ve never had issues with it.

Not only that but the physical phones themselves are dumping features while charging the same or often increased prices…

My current phones literally being held together with tape but wanting a current phone with an SD card and headphone jack has seriously limited my options.

I’m sure they probably could but they don’t really have the incentive to add support for them.

I’m an older GenZ born in the late 90s and I’ve had to show a few younger peers how to torrent recently.

The idea of you needing a “special” program just for downloading a file seems to throw some of them off.

I do know a few young people are tech/programming wizards but “generally tech savy” people seem to be declining. It’s either you’re really into it or barely know anything outside popular apps.

One other thing I’ve noticed, People just seem to be more paranoid about downloading stuff not already installed on their devices. Which its good people give at least a bit of a shit about security but convincing people Firefox isn’t a virus gets a bit annoying (Yes I’ve had that conversation).

You Linux users sure are a contentious people.

Read some random comment saying he got a “trad wife” and basically quit the internet.

Last post on his website seem to be from Feb 2023.

Pretty much just a different GUI, If you ever used Notepad++ it’s the same as that.
