Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel
  • Or set up your IrDA driver for a dongle that it does not really recognize.

    Settings was utterly useless for this. Long live the control panel!

  • TIL the term "Spaghetti Western" refers to Western films made in Europe. It's called such because most of these films were directed by Italians.
  • Lets also not forget Morricone's friend and collaborator Bruno Nicolai.

    He was every bit as influential to the spaghetti western and Italian movie scene.

  • Spaghetti westerns are the best!

    It's really interesting how early films like A Fistful of Dollars took inspiration from Japanese cinema but in return they had a great influence on Japanese culture and media going forward.

  • What's a good chill album or tune to listen to while drinking coffee or tea?
  • Radio Free Fedi is a fantastic service! Love it!!

  • what Geodude doin'?
  • That dude is really into his dice game! I've been to a casino once. That's how the pros throw dice.

  • staring rule
  • This is the most random thing I've heard in a while. 🀣 I love it!

    As a lifelong fan of the movie, I approve of this tactic.

  • what was your favorite thing about your first car?
  • It was an old '87 Pontiac Bonneville. It had a 350 and had some oomph. The thing was built like a tank. I loved it!

    My favorite thing of all was the fact that it would automatically turn on the headlights when it was dark and this feature was called the ''Twilight Sentinel''.

    I always thought it sounded like some epic fantasy novel or game.

  • Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service
  • Yep. I got hit with this this morning when I turned on my TV before heading work.

    I thought to myself ''Well... I hadn't planned on suing you but now I'm not so sure. Lol''

    Yeah. This is complete BS and has me looking at computer monitors for a suitable replacement. I went ahead and agreed to their terms and my TV still works great but when it comes time to replace it, I'll be damned if I get another Smart TV.

  • What games do you think would be great if they'd get properly remastered and would be a hit if it was done?
  • Well... SNK had released a few installments of King of Fighters by the time Fighters Megamix was released, but other than that, yeah.

    Sega definitely beat Smash Brothers and other titles to the punch.

    I agree. They should have stuck with their ideas for several installments. Sega has way too many one-off games that are fantastic and deserve sequels.

  • What games do you think would be great if they'd get properly remastered and would be a hit if it was done?
  • Fighters Megamix was the best!!! I would quite literally hand over one of my kidneys for AAA remake.

  • Looks Like the Website for Trump's Patriot Legal Defense Fund Just Got Hacked
  • It's days like this that make me wish I were a 1337 h4x0r.

    Whoever did this... you forever have my gratitude and you are an inspiration to us all.

  • Starting today Facebook must pay $100.000 to Norway each day for violating our right to privacy.
  • It's almost like some countries prioratize the well being of their people...

  • Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?
  • This is seriously awesome! Thank you for suggesting this.

    I have added a small amount of area around my city but this will make it much easier to fill in the gaps.

  • Silent anger*
  • Yep! Listen to the wise words of Bobandy.

    IrfanView is a mainstay on my PC since I came across it years ago along with SumatraPDF.

  • Where's the feel of the old Internet gone, and what sites do you use?
  • Thank you for this! I have been plowing through your links throughout the day. I found some fantastic stuff and a rush of nostalgia.

  • Scrubbing My Reddit Account
  • Nope! That is not enough.

    I want to edit every single comment or post that I ever made and replace it with a single word or phrase. Then I want to delete my account and disassociate everything.

    If you delete your account by regular means, if someone has a direct link, they can still view what was originally posted.

    That is why I want to edit everything beforehand so if someone does happen to figure out a direct link they will not see what I originally posted.

    I haven't posted anything bad. It's certainly overkill. I don't ever intend to be Doxxed (Does anyone?), but if someone ever gained access to my Reddit history they could learn quite a lot about me.

    If I can run a simple program or script to tidy things up then I might as well.

    I imagine I will be doing this within the next couple of weeks.

  • Scrubbing My Reddit Account

    What is the best most effective way to delete my Reddit post history and account.

    I have seen people mention programs that they use to go through and delete their entire Reddit history, or edit their posts and replacing the content with a single word, and then deleting their account.

    I do not use it like I used to, so I would like to get rid of every digital fingerprint that I can on the site.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated!

    Offline QR Code possibility?

    Is there anything similar to a QR code that works offline?

    Say I have a flyer that I want to discreetly distribute and there is no internet.

    Is there something like a QR code that contains the data itself and not just a URL?

    This way someone with no data plan could scan the icon/code with an app and the unrecognizable bits and bytes from the icon/code would show up on their screen as a .JPEG of a flyer or something.

    Odysee android app?
  • This is something I have been hoping for. I didnt realize they already had one. Thanks for mentioning it!

    Unfortunately I can't help with the .apk πŸ˜”
