I am curious to test and see if it can outperform my current favorite tool: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka

It finds similar image & video, duplicate music, duplicate files, and more…

From everything I’ve read, Signal is a great app, and the ability to use it on Windows is a key feature. That said, don’t both users have to be using Signal for encryption to work? Kinda negates the “one off” use cases you mention if your neighbor, friend, etc. is not willing to download, sign up, and configure a new app for you. I installed Signal a few years ago and if I remember correctly it told you which of your contacts used it. Grand total out of a couple hundred? Zero. 😢

Yep It’s great and all but unfortunately no one uses it and people are extremely stubborn in changing their apps.

 

I get a stubborn ERROR 0x800f0831 with this month’s update (KB5027215). My first update problem in a very long time, believe it or not.

Tried everything I could find:

I prefer to “front” freeware with a reliable source. I think there are basically three kinds of original sources — ones you can absolutely trust because you have familiarity; ones whose Web presence is, shall we say, marginal; and ones that no longer exist.

OlderGeeks injects a level of trust in them all.

Besides, our audience is savvy enough to look at these things carefully. I dare say that most will find the resources at the AHK site. After all, we did provide a link to the AHK documentation at the AHK site in the article.

Maybe I am not old enough or geeky enough, but I have never heard of OlderGeeks before. (I know MajorGeeks)

At this point do you consider Windows 11 22H2 stable enough?

It is super annoying that Samsung hides some settings. Try Samsung Band Selection app.

Now the question is will stupidity repeat, or is this the end of crypto?!

So you can update existing apps without MS account but it requires account to install new apps?

That’s a neat trick. but one question remains, will it force you to login to MS account later, for example if you try to update apps in Microsoft App Store?

An Stoic Queen…poor thing suffering in a castle surrounded by what looks like heaven on earth LOL

If you really believe some people’s blood is special and it automatically grants them the right to rule other people for generations forever, I don’t know what to tell you…

Isn’t it crazy that to this day there are queens and kings ruling people?! What makes them so special?!

This a good change. but I have never seen the 5 colors being used. 3 colors seems enough. green: go ahead, orange: caution, red: stop.

Just why?!?! It doesn’t take a genius to know that this equals to unnecessary attack surface.

Is it just me or did they start ignoring TargetReleaseVersionInfo registry?

Even though I had set “TargetReleaseVersionInfo”=”20H2”, after clicking the dreaded “check for updates”, 21H2 started downloading & installing…
Fingers crossed nothing breaks.
