at times I've tried the Unofficial Service pack (think 3?) right after the initial Windows install. Never do this. You are right - it's more trouble than it's worth. Just install the NUSB drivers and any specific patch you need. I think it'd be easier to show a list of the patches provided by the …

To whom may concern, I’ve been on #Vogons (irc.slashdot.org) at times last week and I plan to appear a bit more. Hopefully, the channel will gain more traction with more usage.

I was browsing some tech news and found the “new” Ubuntu 19.10 and screenies of the upcoming Windows 10X. I could not stop thinking about one thing: Did anyone notice how these two OS versions now look much more like a tablet OS? If this is the future, HELP!!! I really do not want that.

I haven't used QEMU on a Pi as it's quite CPU heavy for that job. I've used DOSBox on a Pi, as have others. The executable for qemu isn't "qemu". Even the package, "qemu", isn't what you want. Package: qemu Version: 1:4.2-3 Priority: optional Section: otherosfs Maintainer: Debian QEMU Team …

Today I decided to try and set up QEMU on my raspberry pi 3B. What could go wrong? I'm getting really pissed with raspbian now. This sure is easy to set up for a headless configuration, but now, when I try to set up QEMU for some emulation... Heck, I did "sudo apt-get update && apt-get install qemu …

Did anyone manage to set up a FTP server on Windows For Workgroups 3.11 ? I am finding it quite difficult to do. Edit: Nevermind. I did it with WSFTPD. Security sure is weak, but I am not doing it for any means of production use. Just a local server development with a httpd server and ftp server. …

Actually I started something from the very basic of what I remember, using Visual Basic on Win 3.x. From there I will go up to the other suggestions. I also decided to look for some ideas to …

Copy/Paste passthrough is not available …

Currently the talks involve a few iOS third-party clients. Since I do not follow the crappy Android scene, I will not comment about them. The focus is more on Edison mail app currently, but there may be others (no doubt). https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/pkekmb/free-email-apps-spying-on-you-edison …

It seems that the talk today is all about the privacy on email clients. Certain email clients are selling your data.

Yeah those versions of Opera don't support the cipher that VOGONS uses. Only option there is to use a proxy. Not sure why you're getting a BSOD. Is this with just regular KernelEx or with the Core updates for KernelEX installed? You can try 10.70 Build 3488 or older which will work on regular 98 to …
