That makes me more wary.

Even when using LTSC 2019, the drivers still install a few UWP apps. And some of them just reinstall themselves immediately after deleting them, it’s just hilarious.

But at least they’re UWP apps so they can’t see your files (hopefully, UWP apps are sandboxed).

A while back I had network issues, ran the troubleshooter and apparently the IP address was incorrect. Went into Control Panel, changed it and it worked again. Not sure why the troubleshooter couldn’t do that but whatever.

If memory serves the people behind this CAPTCHA are Palo Alto Networks.

Apparently they are the leader in cyber security and use AI everywhere.

So no wonder why these CAPTCHAs are so difficult, they’re probably training AIs.

I have this problem too. I have Proton VPN on and try to solve a reCAPTCHA. And it makes me do the “click until there’s none left” thing, which is a pain in the ass. I do it. And then just says Please try again. So I do the audio one and apparently I’m sending automated requests. Thanks google.

For me, when a site forces Chrome, I just use ungoogled chromium, or sometimes vanilla Chromium

What happens if you factory reset the printer?

What country are you in? That’s like more than an 100 freedom units.

If you don’t care about your text going to evil Google, try gtts-cli.

The tubes and friends.

Just use a plotter at this point. People just want black prints, and a plotter can do that.

Windows had support for it since the very beginning.

Lol, I have a MEGA 2560 clone

Bun JS.

For me it’s just plain simple to write and has a massive ecosystem.

Main reason for it being is slow because they don’t want to interfere with M$ ToS.

Funny thing is that 8 had 2 LTSC-like versions:

Embedded Industry and the EEAP builds.

EEAP builds were released to partners (e.g. Nvidia and Intel) only.

Industry Pro is like a precursor to modern day IoT LTSC.

BypassNRO is actually an NT command script, not a DOS batch file. It’s actually a .cmd, which actually sets a registry value and reboots the system (probably the only bit of the Windows core I am aware of that is open source).

Also the Panther (the codename for the boot.wim installer) Setup has some really basic partitioning tools. You can create a smaller partition, delete, format, and that’s it. You have to use DiskPart or Disk Management to do more.

If I use Windows I use a fully patched IoT LTSC 2019, with O&O ShutUp at somewhat recommended settings.

iirc Pinterest just uses a div with a background image. Could’ve been insta though
