You can download an unmolested installer from Microsoft and create a bootable USB or ISO. Make sure you match the edition that came with the machine or the key won't work.

As he said you need 64-bit, but version matters too. The Home versions of Windows 7 can't utilize 32GB of RAM but any version of Windows 8 can. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

, which client do you think is most likely to be a partner in some kind of BSA/MPAA/whatever monitoring program?

I was thinking in terms of public trackers and DHT so yeah you have a point there. ISP MITM shouldn't be a concern provided the announce URL is served over HTTPS, the media industry isn't quite powerful enough to get fraudulent SSL certificates issued. I think

Did you try the other pre-set time servers? I've occasionally found that the default time.windows.com doesn't work, but the nist.gov servers do.

It kind of is, a few years ago they abandoned their engine and switched to a derivative of Chromium

Mak0rz posted:So the upgrade has to be done first? Good to know because I might not have done that! Correct, the upgrade process is what activates your hardware for Windows 10.

Hulebr00670065006e posted:I'm building a new system. Can I buy windows 8.1 and upgrade to 10 instead of buying 10 and save a few bucks? It'll work for now but the free upgrade is tied to hardware and only redeemable for the first year, so on your next upgrade you will end up having to buy a full copy of Windows 10 anyway.

There's still many ways to detect that you're running in a VM even if the VM doesn't advertise itself as a VM https://secret.club/2020/04/13/how-anti-cheats-detect-system-emulation.html Specialised hypervisors tailored for cheating may be able to defeat these checks, but it's unlikely that VMWare or HyperV will

FunOne posted:Oh, and I can't setup the fingerprint scanner without also setting a PIN? What the gently caress? Every device with a fingerprint scanner I've used has had this requirement, because no scanner is 100% reliable If your finger is damp it probably won't work

It does depend on the type of scanner, the ultrasonic ones that e.g. Samsung uses are terrible compared to the capacitive or optical ones

They specifically said diskpart doesn't work The official SD card formatter tends to work in cases where Windows doesn't in my experience https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

IIRC the problem is the win32 headers define the old 260 character limit as MAX_PATH, and a lot of applications use that constant as a hard-coded buffer size when dealing with paths so for them the limit still exists even if Windows doesn't care anymore

They already backpedaled on that https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directstorage-developer-preview-now-available/ quote:Microsoft is committed to ensuring that when game developers adopt a new API, they can reach as many gamers as possible. As such, games built against the DirectStorage SDK will be compatible with Windows 10, version 1909 and up; the same as the DirectX 12 Agility SDK. They say Win11 has some nebulous kernel improvements that let DirectStorage work faster, but it'll still work on 10

valve hasn't even dropped support for 7 and 8 yet, despite both being end of life, so there's no risk of them dropping 10 any time soon whether the actual games on steam will keep working is up to the games though, they'll drop support sooner than valve will. it's already pretty common for games to require 10. still it's going to be 5+ years before anyone starts requiring 11 probably repiv fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jun 22, 2022 |

That could be done using ReShade A quick search turned up this shader which copies a specified region and pastes it somewhere else https://github.com/brussell1/Shaders/blob/master/Shaders/AreaCopy.fx

Avidemux is lossless and very fast since it just trims the original stream, but the catch is that it can only split on keyframes in the original video so the start/end points may be slightly different to what you selected YMMV if that's an issue, if not it's great

i've heard those plastic clips are technically not spec compliant because the screw is supposed to bridge the PCB to ground, though it doesn't seem to matter in practice

GreenNight posted:It's trivial to edit one reg key to install Windows 11 on unsupported devices. Microsoft says they may block patches from these devices but they won't. a more realistic concern is that DRM and anticheat systems may refuse to work on win11 systems that don't have TPM or secure boot - valorant is already doing that

And later this year also creating 7z will be built in. 7-zip author also took years to add basic memory safety features to his program. it's kind of horrifying how lax 7zip is with security mitigations considering it's main purpose is to parse random files from the internet the author has demoscene brain where he refuses to add anything that would make the binary even slightly bigger, for a long time he was stripping relocation data (breaking ASLR) just to shave off a few kb

seems so, their readme calls it out explicitlyquote:Enable Control Flow Guard (CFG) to all target binaries for mitigating ROP attacks. the 7zip guy did eventually relent and at least enable ASLR, but last i checked he was still refusing to enable any further mitigations
