AskWoody LoungerFebruary 14, 2020 at 11:06 am in reply to: Yes, there’s a crack to enable extended security updates on all Win7 machines. No, you shouldn’t count on it. #2140590I don’t see it that way. The creators of the script in question aren’t dubious, and it certainly isn’t a keygen, nor is it advertised, merely noted as existing.
I’m sure a mod will have to, well, mod this thread, since this is as PaulT noted, a gray area.

AskWoody Lounger+1 for Techsmith products. I’ve used both Snagit and Camtasia in the past and they’re both easy to learn and use.
Really good article, Nathan!

AskWoody LoungerThanks for the post Oscar, its good info. However, ” a Seagate external SSD for some $60,” isn’t a SSD, I think that’s a regular spinning drive in the enclosure.
Maybe just using an external USB drive and NOT an SSD is the key for allowing the ISO to be written.

AskWoody LoungerI wonder if this is due to maliciousness or mere incompetence.
The answer is definitely “yes.” Love the Pinocchio rating….
I don’t just love the Pinocchio, I ADORE IT.
