Except in 99% of cases the person is asking an xy problem, and if they ever explained the why, they would get a proper answer.

Often the reason no one does the hyper-specific thing, is that there are better non code solutions, it's massively insecure, or is just stupid micromanaging.

Seen this on the powershell subreddit before, it just downloads and runs another executable.

Is mono not the .net framework version? .net core has always been multi platform, but is not compatible with .net framework apps. So any .net apps built against 3.5 or 4.x would still need to use mono.

Funny thing is I remember control panel being criticized for having things too many dialogs deep. Now you have more clicks when using settings instead of less.

Can't they just send up extra suits with the dragon capsule? Badly fitted suits are probably better than none, it's not like they are piloting it down.

Yep, depending on the version it was under either administrative tools or system tools option in control panel. It's now also in the menu when you right click the start button.

You can now reach the network connections folder, using an option on the network status page. It's something like advanced network options. Still all the classic stuff, but avoids "control panel." I'm going to guess links like that are not going to be removed.

If they just outright remove all of that, you really will need to learn how to do everything in powershell.

Don't feel bad, on my first flight I ran into the sun by accident.

Kept working on it and was rewarded with the rest of the game. For real I continued to die to spaceship piloting issues but it didn't ruin the game for me.

If you don't mind having email go through Gmail etc, then you might not want to full host, but just run a local IMAP server. There are some pop to SMTP solutions you can use to pull your emails (fetchmail.) you can then use your account as an outbound relay. Keep in mind you'll only be able to set this up for a single account if you use something like Gmail.

If you buy a business product like workspace or m365, you should be able to setup relay/hybrid connectors for multiple accounts.

Bd players need internet as they only have keys for the discs made before they were made. So if you stick a newer disc in it won't play until it gets updated.

I tell non techy people to use a physical book that they can secure. People know how to do hide things or put them in a safe. Digital security is harder to understand and I would say a book in a safe place is way better than reusing passwords they find hard to remember.

Can replace go to lunch with come back after the weekend.

Microsoft actually tried to make these changes to prevent the need for kernal drivers. However security companies called foul and the EU told ms to not continue. There was worry that defender would end up with better access than 3rd party products.

For me it was the Microsoft intellimouse, the led one. It had 5 buttons, one on each side so it was also ambidextrous. Now I have a mouse graveyard box.

You're not safe there either, they had almost the same issue on the Linux version of the product a few months ago.

Windows update is definitely milestones. 30% is the "reboot milestone" so if it shows less, it needs to reboot to finish applying.

Added the ability to save a specific frame of a video as a steam screenshot

I was actually using snipping tool for this as it was missing. Being able to get a screenshot of something after the fact is a nice feature.

I think that is electrostatics + relativity.

HumanFemales and HumanM both inherit from the Ape base class, it's from an older java code base. We tried to change it once but it turned out the person that had written had retired and any changes we made just broke stuff.

The only time I actually experienced this was in the states. Lady doing 5 under in outside lane, big queue trying to get past by pulling in Infront of me (with space.) Had to push past my Britishness to undertake.
