In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

Hasn’t been called “.NET Core” since 3.1

Although it’s essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

Since then, it’s just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/…

The router settings, require a password to change whether it’s in family safe mode or not

BDS?

Ah yes. There’s actually quite a lot of jokes that feel more controversial in retrospect but yeah that one’s pretty bad

Which one is that one?

I used to have to use a USB adapter on my laptop because the built in one was turned off by default and had a Windows only software switch to enable it.

I recently tried this for the first time for my grandad on an old dying laptop of his which was struggling to run at any speed.

During the install it had already messed with the hard drive partitions in order to run the live environment, which is a big no-no for me.

The whole point of the live environment is it shouldn’t change the system until you try to install!

It also meant I no longer had a free partition to install to anymore so I couldn’t even get through the installer since I also couldn’t resize etc. because the partition was in use.

Been using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux for about 20 years and never seen this issue until Pop! OS

Also doesn’t allow you to export so you can’t switch to another service

Solution, don’t have an address or talk to anyone ever, scavenge your own food.

Untraceable

Me, when Linus’ opinion is different to mine: “Linus has such weirdly strong opinions about this”

Me when Linus’ opinion is the same as mine: VINDICATION

This isn’t an ad, it’s a suggested result from one of our partners

Or even just running the critical machines offline

Sounds like a band name

Yes, the point they’re making is that if you upgrade the laptop components, you can use the old components as another PC

This is never something I’d have even thought about being privatised, I guess I just assumed it was always in the interest of local authorities to make sure there isn’t just shit piling up everywhere and pay for it through taxation. It’s also surely much more cost effective to centralise.

Today I not only discover that isn’t the case, but that you also commonly have to pay extra to recycle. Like what?! Do poorer people have to just not have their bins collected? Or make a choice about whether things get recycled?!

This has absolutely blown my mind!

If you take it to a refuse & recycling centre yourself (I assume those exist with public access), do you have to pay for that too?!

Yeah this thread is full of people expecting the new thing to immediately surpass the old, ignoring the decades of development and refinement that went into the old solution.

You are both correct, the law states that it has to be as easy to opt out as in, but most companies are not implementing it correctly

I bet you are great fun at parties
