HOLY ShiIIIT :dance:
I finally got my PC to pass AC3 and DTS stream to my receiver through optical cable after trying to get it to work many times in the past.
But it was so easy, how could nothing did work before even after trying everything? Anyways, I'm happy. :dance:
So I've made an interesting discovery.
We all know that XP Home/Pro went EOL a few months ago, however when I powered up one of my older computers running XP Embedded it received a batch of post-EOL updates beyond the usual software removal tools. Further research shows that XP embedded isn't scheduled to go EOL until 2019 even though it's still the same as XP home/pro.
That being the case, you can spoof Windows update into thinking you are running Embedded and you'll continue to receive updates for another five years.
Just open notepad, paste this and save it as a .reg file and then run it.
[code]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001[/code]

Or you could upgrade, hell even some kind of Linux distro would be more up to date.
Seriously, why is being nearly two decades out of date be any good to you?

Any updates are better than no updates.
Edited: Plus there the whole "Linux updated something and now its broken so I asked for help and the H&S was a circlejerk so fuck it, I'm ditching linux for everything other than lab use only, like it should of remained."
I don't get what the point of being all the way on XP basically outdated, you are limiting yourself in what your pc can do. Increasing the chance to get fucked by malware and other nasty shit.
I have a machine with windows 8.1.1 Intel core 2 Duo E6700 a gtx 7900 and 4GB of ddr3 ram and a HDD.
Works like charm.

I really don't understand how people can foul up an XP install so badly. Ive never run into these crippling malware problems people fear are just around the corner.

I wouldn't dare installing XP on any of my machines now that there are no more security updates. who knows, may be an exploit which can be abused for remote access which may be uncovered one day. I'd rather not risk that
XP is just dead. A machine that I use that's older than 10 years old move onto Linux.

That only really happens on enthusiast distributions, the casual distributions (Mint, Ubuntu etc.) take care to not blow up.
You're not as manly if you don't use Arch though.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;45640601]I wonder if there is a bell curve in operating system security risks. So as an OS becomes old and unsupported like XP, but not old enough to have barely any users left it is more of a target. But as it gets even older and loses most of its users it presents less of an enticing target.
I mean DOS was a security nightmare, but if you are still using it I doubt you are at as much risk as you would have been in 1993.[/QUOTE]
But then you miss out on newer features that are either not ported to the OS or are just plain not supported.
[QUOTE=MasterFen006;45640797]But then you miss out on newer features that are either not ported to the OS or are just plain not supported.[/QUOTE]
Even if you miss out, I certainly think the user would have no other idea of using that OS other than one purpose or two.
I use DOS for a Point of Sale machine in a library.
Well suffered my first Handbrake video fail, reducing the size of my Dark Knight Blu-ray rip and it completely fucks up the aspect ratio. Stretches the 2:39.1 content to 16:9, looked like an old VHS tape a result.

I guess it's not that bad if you [I]do[/I] shave ass weekly
I don't really understand why to shave anything. I shave my facial hair but only because it looks dumb if I don't, and nobody's looking at my ass as far as I'm aware.
[editline]9th August 2014[/editline]
The point being, [I]I[/I] look at my face but not even I look at my asscrack. I physically can't without a mirror and really don't feel like doing so even if I could.

Trimming your junk is one thing, but clean shaving is just begging for a billion infected hairs and zits. Done it twice, both times with the grain, and I shall never do it again.

That you know about. Why waste hours and hours to fix something when you can have windows 7 or 8.1.1 that don't give you this shit?
It's the same logic of using an car that uses lots of fuel and buying a better car that uses less fuel per mile.
Any chance at me being able to clear an HDD password? Client came in with old laptop. I cleared the bios, now there's an HDD one. I've never heard of a reliable way, but maybe you all have?
Edit: Nevermind. Testing the HDD in HDTune had it going halfway though with pure errors then giving up at the 120gb mark. It says it's not initialized and fails to initialize. I'm calling it.

I stored some home videos on there of my sister's birthday in a folder marked "PRIVATE" to send to my mom who was out of town. And google thought it would be a great idea to some how process them and publish them to me 5600 subscribers at the time.

Pretty sure Gentoo is an enthusiast distro as well, and it takes care to even warn the ~arch users that some big thing is about to happen, whereas Arch just waltzes in with a fucking sledgehammer and breaks things and then flips out at you when you don't see the post hidden away in some obscure section of the site.
Basically Arch needs to die. If you [b]need[/b] a binary rolling release distro there's Debian's sid/jessie/unstable/whatever it's called
Remember the days when people were kissing Arch's ass?
[QUOTE=lavacano;45642453]flips out at you when you don't see the post hidden away in some obscure section of the site.[/QUOTE]
News posts are the biggest, most prominent thing on the front page, though.
And I've literally never had my arch system break through an update. I've only ever checked the news if a normal update hasn't worked on some system package since most of the time that means --force is a bad idea.
Actually, no, let me rephrase that:
Arch updates can't really break your system unless you --force them. Which, is basically exactly the "waltzing in with a fucking sledgehammer". I haven't yet seen an update [I]succesfully[/I] do world-breaking things just by a standard -Syu - there's always something in the update process that's designed to fail if you just try and install it without reading the news post.
[editline]10th August 2014[/editline]
Of course, that's just my experience, but I did have an arch system get through the /bin symlinking and systemd and GRUB 2 switches without issues.
[editline]10th August 2014[/editline]
I do agree that not giving you a fair warning before is kind of stupid, but that just means you'll see an update break and go check it on the front page. You keep the downloaded packages so hardly any time is wasted on this - and Arch gets updates daily regardless, being what it is.
[QUOTE=Nalty;45641321]handbrake fails are such a nightmare. especially considering i have to transcode on a phenom II[/QUOTE]
Well it still takes me an hour to do a full 1080p transcode on my i5 2400, its an hour in which I could of put another thing on the line to convert but instead I have to fix the problem of the thing before. (Which if anyone ever does convert The Dark Knight and/or The Dark Knight Rises in Handbrake, set the cropping to custom and make sure that the left, right, top and bottom are set to 0)
