I am just trying to reinstall Windows 11 (leaving dev channel, for stable normal win11). And I get these annoying popup screens upselling my 365 and games pass, and idiot me fell for it twice just hitting the blue continue button (goes right to a screen asking for credit card info, before even getting to desktop) This is trash design, but too many softwares I have to use can only work on windows. (I installed windows 11 from scratch when it first dropped, and I don’t remember these screens)

I actually have had no bugs. And as I said before, it is not a bug- but a design feature because the new focus modes.

Here’s a recording, as to why you are now able to put multiple’s of the same app on your home screen. This is my earlier testing with it- before going as far as to make a shortcut to leave it when I want. IMG_9195.MOV

it’s all a clone of Safari, pulled right out from the app library. It is actually by design, as the Focus feature lets you build different screens for home, depending on your need. For example, I setup a single screen dedicated to when I wake up (when I turn off or wake up from timer), that only has the apps and widgets I need to start my day- catching up on news, messages, twitter. I also made a widget using a shortcut, to one button press leave the now Wake Up screen (and only shows that screen/apps) to normal day screen.

Something, just does not look right since I got my hands on iOS 15.

Now why would I devalue such a thing so easily like that? The less who know and can understand, the more value it retains. (And there are many ways to do so, the core concept is older than electric computers)

So, this is a mix of stuff here. I created an image/NFT, hid an entire home made a simple and safe software inside the image, and slapped the image up. It was not only for experimenting (which is successful, the software can be pulled out following instructions automatically given upon NFT acquisition), but also to be the first to publicly do so and to hopefully make a couple bucks in these trying times. The pros: People can produce and sell software as NFTs in a completely secure way where no one can track you and no credit/debit can be so easily stolen. Maybe this concept can be spread out into way to fight against force app stores with security and privacy (Minus having to hide the software inside the image itself). The cons: People can produce malicious software inside the content of NFTs and all heck can break from there. Whether it is auto-launching software where it starts when you open the image, or it is black market software sold in broad daylight; it is a day of age where digital protection is vastly more important. The End Goal: I would rather like to see what people can safely do and come up with using this concept. Remember back in the day when a few select records actually hid Basic software on them for DOS? Now imagine that but when you bought a Mono Lisa for example, it held a unique one of a kind mini-game that you are the only one in the world has access to (provided you unlock the content, whether told or not). Note: Programs injected into an image can be password locked in a prior step or in the software itself, with the key given to buyer(Along with method to remove software/program/game from image)- so that even distributing the original image will produce no results without a lot of cracking. And sadly, OpenSea does grab only image data, but the original raw can be put into Unlockable Content, like many already do, because anyone can download the original image/video anyways.

BAT coin, a crypto you cannot mine but instead get for viewing ads from Brave Browser for viewing their ads. Anyways, does anyone know why this crypto is hitting the fan like Bitcoin? in the past month, it has been spiking up from as low as $0.44/e to upwards of $1.37/e in the past day. The past day, it’s been spiking up and down like crazy. Did I miss some kind of event? Has this coin suddenly become popular? Is this another Gamestop?

I am sorry for the late replies. I guess I never clicked to follow the topic? Anyways, thank you for the input and help. I still have yet to find a working method including the previous said potential method. So, decided to just try and sell it- with no luck so far in the past week. If anyone sees this and is by chance interested in one, hmu in private messages.

I have an Aerohive AP250 POE wireless Access Point (Office was moving, old renders left it in new place sitting on top of an oversized server rack). We would like to be able to use this if possible, it was left plugged into POE ethernet line, so it was working. But, the Hivemanager software for it (Which as far as I can find, it is the only way to use it), is $2,000 - which is far too much to spend to get a single wireless access point to work. I do not know if there is alternative firmware I can run into it, or if it can be used generally by any modem/router without hivemanager software ($60 for a POE switch, wouldn't be hard to sell to boss to get device working)? Or am I just better off selling it for $350-400 on eBay and getting another solution that would be easier to run (We only have the device). PoE devices are outside of my experience, so I do not know much on what can be done, so any help if possible would be nice, thank you.

Released 5 days ago, a game ive been waiting well over a year ago since I saw its earlier prototypes, Teardown is what I think is a technological marvel, and I am surprised about how many still don't know about it. It is a voxel world, yes- but it's is hands down no minecraft clone or relatively close (albeit, you can make your own worlds). Its 2 biggest and main features is that it is A, full homemade ray traced without hardware support (No RTX specific usage, AMD's upcoming hardware ray tracing, nor even DirectX Ultimate Raytracing). Second, it that nearly the entire world (excluding the ground, which still offers 2-5 voxels) is destructible. But not any destructibility, but physically procedural destructive. It is still early tech, so objects don't become physically active until they are removed from anything holding it to the ground (But any chunks blown off, those chunks become fully physically active). Mutual collisions are even active- so if you say, drop a tower on a house- when the two collide, both will become damaged and have bits or chunks breaking off where it takes damage (procedurally generated damage again, so there is absolutely zero model's predesignated to break just "here and here"). It contains a campaign mode, which a majority of the content is pretty much just a speedrunner's paradise, but sparse and few between several missions dedicated to actually taking down things (Personally, I stopped the campaign. I am annoyed of speedrunning type missions as I personally do not find them fun, and the lack of saving current state of mission to continue back in later is an annoying thing). But playing in sandbox is exceptionally fun time, and with added maps, vehicles, scripting from the community- it gets a ton of added content for free. This game, I do not think will be the next big viral game- but if you have a computer of a performance level of a GTX 1060 or better- it is hands down worth it to try for the small $20 price. I still enjoy this game, and wanted to share, becuase the voxel technology is something that I can see games adopting in the far future as the hardware starts to outpace the software again- allowing truely destructive games instead of just "I punched here, place an alpha circle here and do a quick modify of the collision layer" (As seen in R6), as in this game- you can literally turn a floor into your new set of stairs. If you are interested in getting the game or more information, here is a quick link to the steam page Steam page

I have 2 different monitors. 27” for gaming and 28” for extra productive area. Right now they take all of my desk space, and is annoying to use my left 28” monitor. I am looking for options for monitor mounts to mount them vertically with the 28” above- to gain back desk space and a better monitor->monitor experience. This is one thing I found, but I want to know my other options- specially if someone has personal experience. (they will not fit horizontally landscape with arms. The 27” is curved and needs to be upfront while the 28” has no room due to computer to right and shelves to the left) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CXQDS8M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_htOwFb09XPRBV If someone has any other suggestion that I may be missing, here is my current setup attached. Thank you all for your time

CPU: Ryzen 2700 Motherboard: ROG Strix B450-F Gaming, BIOS version 3003 (latest) Memory: Corsair LPX 2x8GB 3600Mhz GPU: Zotac RTX 2060 I am having annoying issues with BIOS. Any changes I do to CPU or Memory, results in a failure to boot and forcing me to go back to default. Even the AI Tuner, which pumps up my performance by it's guesstimated 4% total, just fails boot. My RAM is stuck at running in the speed of 2100Mhz, and it did the same before I upgraded from Corsair LPX 4x4GB 3200Mhz RAM. It is clearly a noticeable loss in potential performance. What can i do to fix this?

I guess I will just go with the Thermaltake Core P3. It is a bit larger on the height and depth, but it is an easy to work in case, and gives me an excuse to water cool when new RTX and Ryzen come out (Currently on 2700x). I am ever surprised there isn't more in the effort of compact & minimum when more and more people are going drive-less and just m.2

Getting an L bracket would definitely be easy, Home Depot is stock full of them (originally grabbed some for a 2.5" SSD I was using, but I didn't like the test fit look at was not easy to drill holes for screws). The harder part is supporting the GPU, as the Zotac RTX 2060 seams to do too much sag- it scares me to think of leaving it by itself. That case does seam nice on the lower volume - though the air flow does seam like it will be trash, specially since I am using air cooling. It is in my pile to consider, as I read some reviews say they just cut holes in the metal to let more air through; but a case of the same size and better cooling would overtake it easily if found.
