ESU is a paid service for enterprise. They didn't even offer ESU for windows 7 home.
Windows 7 pro ESU per device cost $50 for 1 year, $100 for the next year, $200 for the final year.
Windows 7 enterprise was per device 1 year $25, second year $50, and 3rd year $100.
Micro$oft is not going to give win10 ESU away for free and they probably won't supported home edition.
You can however bypass the win11 hardware checks to upgrade unsupported devices.
I mean
There were networks such as: EFnet Undernet Quakenet DALnet
different servers in different regions did network together.
There was a different word for 'defederation' back then: net split https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
And it was usually from a networking issue.
I'm still salty that an IRCOP from a (now defunct) Canadian server used a net split as an attack: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC_takeover
to steal a # channel from my friends and make it private long enough to sort out the bot auto bans. We appealed, but because they were an IRCOP, the other IRCOPs from the federated servers were just like, "whatever, pound sand users, go run a server if you want to control stuff like us."
Anyway, IRC was a connection of various servers run by various people/corporations/universities etc.
Yea. And most of the data is already cloud backed up anyway. Which means you can restore it. Also means it's not really your data either and someone else has access to do what they want with it.
If you're worried about losing access cuz you lost your 2 factor FIDO2 key or One Time Password or whatever you can print off "backup codes" and put them in your lock box.
But if you don't backpack your data locally then whomever you delegated backups to can cut you off at any time for any reason.
Google shut off access to this parents account after he took a photo of his child's genitals for teledoc and sent it to his wife over Google chat: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html
If you just did a format and didn't overwrite the whole disk you could use DMDE, ddrescue, photorec, or testdisk to restore the files.
Or even something nonfree like recuva.
But this is why you're supposed to do backups in 3s!
If anyone is really curious about how INS works https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system
Also this Air Force training audio REALLY clears the subject up: https://youtu.be/VUrMuc-ULmM
The Missile Knows Where It Is
Transcription for the audio is as follows:
"The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error."
I would love to know how to be a perfect parent.
If you have some amazing advice I'm sure we're all ears here.
Who's educating the parents on what's going on in the games? The casinos? The slot machines? The sports betting apps?
Where do the average learn about these things?
All well and good if you are fairly well educated and know about some of the psychology going on. But damn I do not have any hope for the next generation raised on tick tocks as the GOP dismantle public education.
It's going to quickly get like Idiocracy in here all the while bystanders will say, but the parents working two minimum wage jobs to put food on the table and a roof over their head should have taken responsibility for their child!
People fall through the cracks and we all as society benefit when we are responsible enough to try to make sure the cracks can't just swallow you whole.
Shit, I've got 3 university degrees and top certifications for my specify IT field and wouldn't know much about this topic if it weren't for Sout Park Freemium Isn't Free.
We can't depend on being educated or involved with children to protect them from 24/7 365 always online dopamine addiction to compulsion loops.
I highly doubt I will have the time to try all the new research drug-games my children acquire access to. Better stick to first party Nintendo games-drugs.
In all seriousness, PBS kids apps on mobile go hard, work on any device, and are fairly educational while being easy to use and fun enough to hold attention while being completely FREE.
We've paid for ABC mouse but the whole fuckin thing reeks of slot machine pokie stimulus while the puzzles and games crash often. The only thing that 100% works all the time is the store to exchange your "tickets"
Abc mouse is the highest rated most teacher recommended app and it's fucking awful.
My 3 year old has gotten way more out of free software than any pay software that's littered with addictive BS.
I would recommend:
GCompris
Khan academy kids
Learn to read Duolingo ABC
PBS anything
Sold in 2014
Good to know I went on my first toured before they got bought out.
Recently went on a tour and didn't think that much had changed tho.
I like to buy from vineyards and distilleries I've been to. But conglomerates are buying everything up :/
How can us older folks explain concern trolling and that among the old out of touch frontman both sides always choose, you can set aside single issues, and just pick the one that will do the least harm?
I hear a lot of black and white ultimatums and statements boiling down to if you don't do impossible I won't vote tantrums. Sounds exactly like the trash before, people won't vote for a woman. Gore came out slightly critical of Iraqi war and the media ate him alive as a antiwar idiot peace nut. He tried to transition to climate change but got called a boring and stiff despite being passionate about environmental activism.
There's always an ultimatum. Being slightly critical of a blank check for war after 9-11 was an express ticket to no where.
The Democrats, even if they have some fresh ideas behind closed doors, are always running a terrible campaigns with mixed messages : "more of the same" mantra to big business; latest identity politics hot button issues for the people.
But past all the terrible policy that can't be quickly changed and flat messages one party constantly comes in with a plan to exploit, fucks shit up, dig a deeper hole, and hold onto power. While the other at least seems like they're trying to act in good faith and approach some issues.
I feel like there's always a bunch of trolls identitying a single issue and saying, well because there's some war you can't have reproductive rights cuz I won't vote .
Or because some fetuses aren't fit to live but I like cute babies you have to have even worse and more war, cuz I hate reproductive rights.
For fucks sake nothing is black and white. It's complex and voting for those that listens to science and lean into harm reduction is a real platform.
