Satisfoxy

I will attempt this when I return to my workstation and will report back with results and if I had to change anything to get it working via AutoIt. I am pretty basic when it comes to scripting, but flow control is not something the help file teaches. However, even now -- thank you for helping me understand so far.

I've created a program that automates software installs locally and offline. This year, I wanted to clean my code and learn how to create string values instead of a separate script for every single thing. I've been staring at the AutoIt help file for about 6 hours now and everything I try doesn't work. If I could just see my one script work, I'm positive I can get the rest of them to do the same. ;Require admin so there are no file permission errors. ;2024 #RequireAdmin #include <Process.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Local $reader64 = "Run(@ScriptDir & "\Adobe Reader\AcroRdrDCx642300620360_en_US.exe") WinWait ("Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (Continuous) - Setup", "Adobe Acrobat is configured to install updates");Wait for the first window.

Please do not immediately lock my thread, I can assure you that this is not what every other thread is asking. Background: I am volunteer manager/consultant for a non-profit computer recycling center. Prior to the shutdown, we could put many older computers back into use because of the 7/8 to 10 free upgrade. We have pallets of older computers ranging from 2nd Gen Intel up to 7th Gen that have not been gone through. Google is useless to the question I'm being asked over and over and Microsoft is no help because they want you to just pay the $100-$150 for Windows 10. We are always ran on basically negative income, but the company keeps going on to help the community. The question: How can we verify that a machine was previously upgraded to Windows 10 and their 7/8 key is a previously converted one for that purpose -- without loading Windows on the machine first?

*shivers in disgust*

Can confirm that Office 2003 works on Windows 10 (x64). Word, Excel, PowerPoint. I cannot confirm Access, Outlook though.

Hello ladies and gentleman, I am making a rant thread because when I get fired from this hell which has been my work of 10+ years I want to make it easy to write a book. I am completely hidden and will be leaving out any key details as to keep myself and my "co-workers" anonymous in my starting rant. Only recently did my boss change and only then did the work environment become toxic. I already have a plan to leave the company, but I want to see how long I can piss them off before they realize the reason I'm not falling victim to their petty BS is because I have nothing to fear. A few weeks ago I had a very disturbed end-user get assigned to me as a ticket to fix their broken computer hardware. They were very adamant in calling and texting me multiple times throughout the day to let me know that they were very concerned about losing their data. I unlike most of my lovely co-workers always swap the drive out of any user's computer with another one, so I never have the headache of lost data. However end-users know that most of the techs will simply work on it, if it breaks, wipe it and if they complain tell them "Should of backed up your data" without a mention of how that is done on our network in the first place. I instruct the user to drop off the laptop at our location and hand their computer with a note with all their contact information attached to the device to the guard at our location. I return to my desk after working in the back for a few hours and go to the guard to check if the device has been received. The guard says "No" and asks me all the basic questions in-which I give them. I contact the user with the address and photo of the building to confirm they went to the right place which they very adamantly reply yes. The guard waits for the other guard to get back to ask them if they saw this person and replies with no. They tell me they reviewed the camera footage to find that at the time the user said they dropped off the device no one showed up in the parking lot or the buildings door. By this time my narcissist boss catches their noisy ear to the only part of the situation they cared about. "A device is missing." Since bossman is not the type of person to actually hear the situation in full, he just jumps to the conclusion that I must of done something wrong. After they berate me like they always do, to give you an example. (Ex. Sending an email to one of their underlings to tell me in person that I need to get something big done by Friday. To which they confront me on Friday after they have clearly noticed I wasn't doing the thing and says "Why isn't this done?" to which I reply with "No one told me?" and to then reply "Well you should've known I sent "an email."" This is the juicy part. After my boss is done wasting air, the guard is holding the missing computer in their hands and says. "You should know you aren't supposed to have people drop off computers at our desk." which I reply with "No one informed me of this? Does it not seem logical if I am not here to leave a computer with someone in charge of security of the building?" He proceeds to turn red in the face and before they say anything my boss stops them and says "You're completely right, no need to say anything" to which they turn to me. "You should of known not to do that." bossman says in the typical "I'm better than you and know everything" tone of voice. I reply with "Let me get this straight, the guard wasted 4 hours of my paid time to teach me a lessen when he could of just handed me the laptop in the first place and said nicely "A person dropped off a computer for you, I am bringing this to you because I'm sure you didn't know but "You must be here when people drop off devices. Please make sure you adhere to this rule next time." but you rather side with him because if you agree with me, it makes YOU look bad because you didn't know the rule either?" Bossman replies with "You could of came up to my office and asked how you should handle the delivery of the laptop." and I reply "The office you keep the door shut until closing and get super angry at anyone that knocks or opens the door of?" Forum dwellers.. welcome to my hell.

My entire household of machines don't meet the requirements of Windows 11. The biggest thing that makes me a mad is most people are going to throw their computers into a landfill. Because: They do not have a recycling program where they live. They are unwilling or don't know how to use Linux. Microsoft is forcing them if they want to keep current. I can smoothly browse the web with an old Core 2 Duo & 4GB of RAM on Windows 10 with an SSD. Recycling centers are going to have a hard time keeping afloat as they will no longer be able to refurbish older machines with new/replacement parts to make a good low-cost machine for someone to browse the web with because they will no longer be able to install Windows because of these requirements. The value of metal and components in a computer even in tons does not make enough money to keep a building going without a show room with working equipment for sale. I actually am a part of a recycling center. We had for two years a Linux section of computers that were 50% cheaper than their Windows counterparts. We have TWO people come in TWO YEARS that actually purchased a Linux computer.

Randomly browsing the web at 14 and finding a video of someone being ran over by a semi-truck is what made me a MAN today.

$20 off a new Otterbox case for my new iPhone which Verizon gave me $700 off for. (No idea why, my old iPhone was only worth $100)

I think it would be good for LTT. Large communities of furries may flock to LTT videos just because there is a confirmed furry on the channel.

If only people could band together and not buy from the scalpers then they will lose big and stop doing it.
