We used to. BPSolar used to manufacture panels in Sydney - I’ve got some of them on my roof. But they closed the plant and moved manufacturing to…
anyone? Moved to…
anyone?
China. Yes, and some of the local ex-BP middle management tried to buy the plant and get manufacturing happening again. Last I heard, they were unsuccessful, but I don’t recall why.
So, Blade Runner was a future documentary ? And then Blade Runner 2049?
I hadn’t used my CS6 for years but recently needed Premiere Pro. I hauled out the discs, installed it using an external optical drive, and searched old Outlook PST files for the serial number. It installed on my Win 11 laptop, and it activated when I typed in the serial number.
Long live CS6! Adobe won’t get any more money from me.
I did get lucky when I bought it, though. I ordered and paid for CS5.5 Education version, so that was about AUD$450 instead of AUD$2200, and what turned up was CS5.5, a free licenced copy of CS4 “to help with 32-bit to 64-bit transition” and a download code for CS6, as I’d ordered 5.5 after 6 had been announced. I ended up with licenced copies of CS4, CS5.5, and CS6 for AUD$450
I’ve got two piholes running on the home network, and they are both DHCP servers - with different ranges, i.e. #1 serves 192.168.0.11 - 100, and #2 serves 101-200. Each uses option 6 to specify DNS servers, and they both reference each other. It doesn’t matter if one goes down because each client will have the both piholes specified as DNS servers. I’ve never had an address conflict problem.
I have two piholes - they serve different DHCP ranges (e.g. 1-100 and 101-250), and option 6 references each other.
Clive will be back. He’s like Palpatine.
Somehow, Palmer returned.
JFC it doesn’t become a honeypot on November 1.
Be clear about it - you’ll still get Windows Defender updates, but not patches to the OS or MS applications/Utilities.
New outlook is a steaming pile. Classic Outlook has some very handy features and unless Evolution pulls its finger out, I will continue to use classic Outlook. Hell, I used Outlook 2010 until last year.
It met my needs.
It’s fine. It’s mostly crap-ware free, and it’s more stable than other versions. It’s Long-Term-Stable-Channel, it’s used by corporate, so it doesn’t change frequently. It still gets security updates but not the latest BS, like Recall, and on-by-default Bitlocker. It also doesn’tt require a MS account during setup.
That’s extraordinary, even for Microsoft.
If you’re on Win 11 Pro, up to 23H2, follow these steps to prevent 24H2:
win+R, type GPEDIT.MSC, press enter Locate “Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Manage updates offered from Windows Update\Select the target feature update version”
Now click the “Enabled” button, type “Windows 11” in the first prompt and “23H2” in the second prompt and click “Apply”
That will prevent 24H2 from being downloaded and installed. When they’ve fixed this and the “Recall” mess, you can go back and undo the setting.
You can still do the “bypassnro” thing, it’s just a script that’s been removed. All it did was write a registry entry and reboot. This is the registry key entry - you can still press shift-F10 at the same point and type this manually:
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
shutdown /r /t 0
another method to try is this, instead of the registry entry:
start ms-cxh:localonly
but I haven’t tried that one yet.
I’ve edited a couple of independent shorts with PPro - I didn’t find it lacking at all. I like Resolve, but I can work with either one.
PPro has multi-camera features, that’s much more than a basic video.
The feature set of the Adobe suite is more comprehensive, but Resolve is a bit easier to use.
It doesn’t trounce PPro, they’re about equal IME. I’ve used both and it’s the price that makes it beat PPro. And you get the full version for free when you buy a Blackmagic camera.
much better than anyone before him within the last few hundred years
John XXIII was pretty progressive, wouldn’t you think?
Looks like Australia will profit. We have a lot of lithium, and some of the others, china’s been undercutting the price for a while.
Gonna be a legal shitshow when he kicks off - imagine all the claims on his estate.
Panasonic, or some of the European brands are good. Or you buy the largest 4K computer monitor that can afford.
They’re designed and built to run 16/7 or similar. If you have TV on 16 hours a day, a commercial display is worth considering.
No, I’m not joking - I’ve seen folk who turn it on at sunrise, and off at bedtime.
YT becoming shittier and shittier with ads is why I’ve changed to downloaders instead. No ads.
