fyi Dave was involved in some scareware bullshit as one of the main actors and sued for it. Fuck this guy.
Damn seems pretty legit... https://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/attorney-general-s-office-sues-settles-washington-based-softwareonlinecom
Thanks for looking this up ❤️
I aggree. I really liked his videos until came across this info (back then on reddit).
I went to go disable my nic.
It needed a reboot to take effect.
The fuck? I only want to turn it off because I’m testing something and I need a change of ip to test an application and I’m feeling lazy, so I turn off the nic to go to wifi. Good enough? Nope.
So stand up and unplug the cord.
Cool. Switched over. Test didn’t work as expected. Plug cord back in.
Next day computer reboots for updates and I’ve got no internet. Go crazy trying to figure out what it was then remember it needed a reboot to disable the nic.
I was thinking about this recently, so it is a bug, not a feature
If it has been a bug for 20+ years, we can safely say it's a feature for backwards compatibility.
But the problem isn't in Fat32 itself, as you can format larger disks in that format just fine
The limit was a 4GB limit, tho
The limit on formatting drives as fat32 is 32GB on windows though anything above 32GB and you have to go find a 3rd party tool to convert larger disks to fat32
They're talking about the overall size, not the per file size limit.
Dave's youtube channel is great for these stories from back in the day. Link for the lazy: https://www.youtube.com/@DavesGarage
