Quote from: scarface on March 04, 2025, 10:50 PMI will upload a new version of windows 24H2 next week. Maybe you could install it in case you need it.

I have a portable drive hooked up to my router's USB port. It serves as my personal cloud. I can access it from all my devices and anywhere else with an internet connection. With 22H2 and 23H2, you can easily go into Windows Explorer, click on "Map Network Drive" and put (in my case) \\RT-BEU92\sda1 and off you go, it's mapped as drive Z. With 24H2 this is impossible. You run into a wall of security where it demands all kinds of passwords and setting and all kinds of unnecessary requirements not even Microsoft understands.

Another problem that the activation from 23H2 was not grandfathered in. Reactivation was necessary. I only imagined that this was the beginning of endless problem with this badly written piece of garbage. So I decided just to screw this and go back to 23H2, which performs flawlessly. Let them fix it first. I might add that I've had infinitely more problems with security protocols than whatever it is they're trying to protect me from.

Have you tried to map a network drive on this thing? Is that even possible inside a virtual machine?

Quote from: humbert on March 04, 2025, 05:43 AMI upgraded my desktop today and put 23H2 in it. Today from Windows Update came the offer to install 24H2 so I tried it out. What a disaster! Just for starters, my mapped network drives disappeared and there was no way to put them back. All I got was some sort of unusual password prompts that 22H2 nor 23H2 ever produced.

To make matters worse, the backup file I made would not restore. Macrium said it was "corrupt". The funny thing is that you could still map that backup to a drive and extract files. I had to start the configuration from scratch.
Stay away from 24H2 until they fix it.

Tonight, I'm going to present a new dish.

Look at the photo below.



Vasudev and shadow.97 must be thinking that it is a pizza.
Actually, this is an egg and bacon quiche (in French, it's called a quiche too).
It's probably the kind of dish your guests would like to eat.

I'm surprised you're still playing around with Windows 10. Isn't end of support not too far off? Does W10 even support newer hardware?
Doesn't work on my new laptop but still in use on my 2 old laptops.

In Tunisia, rising meat prices spark concerns ahead of Ramadan.
Actually, I've been to Tunisia, in 1993. At the time, you could get a marvelous couscous in a restaurant for one dinar. Visibly this time is over.

Tonight, I'm going to show you a new dish.


Look carefully at the pictures below.


Vasudev, shadow.97 and humbert have probably never seen this.
It's a to-be-cooked saucisson (made of pork meat). As you can see, this saucisson is pretty big.
Note that I'm using the word saucisson because there is no appropriate translation in English. it's not a mere sausage indeed. In French, the word "saucisson" is used for a big sausage (sausage is translated as "saucisse").
To cook such a sausage, it is recommended to boil it for 30 minutes.



Once cooked, the "saucisson à cuire" can be served with potatoes.
It's certainly a good dish for your guests.

Well, I think you should test this in Vmware to ensure it is suitable for you. It is not required to have an account if you select your username and input your password.
