Ahh yes sound blaster ftw! I was working at comp USA in the late '90s, got a hold of one of those VooDoo 3500 cards with the dual GPUs for 50% off. 😈🤣

Man I thought I was in heaven when I upgraded to 2mb! 🤣

Every kid that gamed in the 90 had to jump through technical hoops just to play. From learning networking to data recovery of corrupted floppy disks, hacking the OS to get video drivers working, or to turn off processes so games had more resources. Anything to get the game going. Good times! 🤘🏻

Please explain in detail how capping incomes helps global hunger. Where does all that extra money go? To the government? To corporations? To some non-profit? Who determines how it gets used? Think about what you're saying.

Mind you, I still think it's disgusting what they are able to get away with. I believe billionaires should be taxed appropriately, in the tax loopholes addressed. However, global hunger is a logistical issue, not a monetary one.

I'm not defending an oligarchy, but this is delusional thinking. You can't just cap an individual's earnings and just give it away to the poor or charity or whatever. They aren't the cause of global hunger, and they can't fix it by throwing money at it. 🙄

It's good that you're still getting out there! Keep exploring! Both outdoors and within yourself!

That would be interesting. They'd probably start plotting to take over. 🤣 Actually, most likely they'd get stuck on some kind of cyclical question loop or just stop responding to each other.

I don't disagree with the disabled by default comment. But again that's the point of the policy. Most of larger updates from MS are cumulative, so you're going to get everything at once because it's damn near impossible to manage binaries at that finite level otherwise.
January 30, 2025 at 7:26 PM
I mean, if you wanted to turn the feature back on. If the update simply skipped the binaries, it wouldn't work because the binaries would be missing or a wrong/old version. All binaries are updated as a snapshot of the current build. Again, it's the role of the policy to disable the feature.
January 30, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Yes. There are literally millions of binaries, they're not going to skip one because you did some crap on your machine. Otherwise if you turn it back on you don't have the correct binaries. All binaries have to be signed to the current version. Disabling these features is what the policies are for.
January 30, 2025 at 7:00 PM
MS isn't custom tailoring every update to your hacked configurations. Updates just come with all updateb binaries, regardless of whether or not you think you uninstalled it. That said, if you've disabled these features in your configuration policies they will still be disabled after a patch.
January 30, 2025 at 5:13 PM
It's actually pretty easy to disable all this stuff via administrative templates/config policies. These are requirements for use in government offices.

Just because you all don't understand how all that works does not mean MS is evil or spying or intentionally sabotaging your OS. 🙄

Nice! :-) That's pretty bright, but your eyes will thank you if you're running that long term I assure you.

Looks good! Although, blue is terrible for your eyes, and messes with your sleep cycles. Switch to red. ;-P
