Renegade7 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Not saying 10 is a great OS, but forcing folks to upgrade because patches stop being made doesn't stop the old OS from floating around. Its a self-inflicted wound from a security standpoint, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, im going there, IT in a lot of places do this. Certain versions of Mac can't install latest version of malwarebytes, half our environment at work is RHEL6 on extended support. Its not like cars that basically come apart with age, this technology merely lacks the willpower to resist going after whats new or having to. We could keep patching if we wanted to.

It's intentional planned obsolescence. Heck, I've seen vendors literally removing device drivers from their download sites, because they want to force you to buy a new product. I mean, I understand that very few people need a Win98 driver for that mouse you made 20 years ago. But you already wrote the driver, it's already sitting on the server. What's the point in removing it, other than to try to force people to buy another one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a powered unit and has good reviews. For $50 bucks it is not that expense though if it let's you do what you want it do do. Cructhfield has been around for ages. I am sure you can return it if it doesn't work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I signed up for the preview and it installed in the background and after the reboot I was on Windows 11. Pretty easy peasy. 12 hours ago, skinfan2k said: and now a new issue. the sounder is connect via digital optical audio but now the Comcast remote won't pick it up. You lost me on this one.

I would assume that the sound should be controlled on the sound bar now instead of the TV. Since it's a digital signal, I assume it just sends the raw sound data and it's up to the soundbar to determine volume. I'd look into whether your Comcast remote can be configured to adjust the volume on your soundbar. Edited July 5, 2021 by PokerPacker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea or bad idea from recruiter viewpoint? I think its a bad look to let them lapse just cause. Personally, I ask if you have these things in interviews if you have them on the resume, and if the answer is 'no but im studying for it' im already turned off. If its 'well i had them but i let them expire' i would probably be more so. Also the CEUs are easy to accumulate. You may have to check this, but in most cases the company you work for will provide you with 3 for every year of work. Cash them ****ers in. Also any trainings you do......our security training counts as 1 and I have to take that once a year so thats 4 just for working here. Im sure you have some you dont know about.

TheGreatBuzz Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 So I’m not even really sure that this is the right thread but most of you sound like nerds and will find this interesting. I met up with some family I haven’t seen in over a decade and caught up on life. Apparently my cousin is in charge of putting together CES every year. It is the Consumer Electronic Show. Google tells me it is a pretty big deal. I feel like I would be really impressed if I understood it. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
