Thanks
, but it turns out it was never "sold out". it's a message shown to those in giveaway restricted regions
,
and on top of that Opera browser which I normally use to get from Fanatical is crashing again and again. Uninstalled and Reinstalled and still crashing, I gotta somehow fix Opera before I get this.
oh didnt' know this, they should change the message into something more clear liek your country is not eligible for the giveaway. I hate those region restrictions
We don't get Boosters anymore, they are being phased out by AWA
, so use the ones you do have wisely.
this is a bad news for me because I used last booster. I hope they will give the again as soon as possible.
I did the exact opposite and added all my basic component software INTO my Windows installation...but it backfired when I realized I still had to update them all every single time
This made me remind when I used to make Nlite custom win iso cooked with all drivers inside. Today Win10 recognize many drivers automatically but sometimes it mess them too changing your driver with the driver Win wants
Can I get a dunce hat for this moment in time please?
It still gave me basic control and all the warnings an stuff, but I wasn't doing it every version of any of the 4-5 default software programs got an upgrade.
Now I just keep an offline installer of the most recent (and a few back in case) for Win 7/10 and Linux in some cases.
But, I never bothered stripping one down for some reason, probably should have....I was always more annoyed by installations. Vista with all the service packs and upgrading IE enough to even download Chrome actually pissed me off so bad i made an auto installer with both service packs, all the msi packages for IE and even my programming languages--just made it customizable through an old INI file to drag and drop over, run the program and walk away for like an hour
These days I can modify Win RE by hand to add my own programs and launch them without even starting a Windows Installation...which is a real bastard when I added my disk clones drive locking code into the mix and made it so Windows couldn't even install because it couldn't locate a hard drive
Thats one way to fuck up somebody's day royally, even more of a bastard move to load the Istall and run a program in the background to prevent the options from working while destroying all the data except the recovery part
I mean...who would do that to someone...umm, as I was saying. Its pretty easy to use imaging tools to modify the installation...keeping tabs on all the little hidey holes where files go that windows adds is more of the annoyance
I prefer always doing a clean installation then install again main programs I need, I like having clean software installations, I just load browsers settings saves.
I had Win Vista for long time, after Xp. Vista was very hated, but after service packs it was a mature Os and always liked it, of course I stripped down of all eye candy stuff disabled a lot of services I didn't need. Vista came with the UAC feature, some people were annoyed by it and disabled it, but I always kept because was a nice security protection.
Your kind of forced too for the over provisioning, even leaving the space plain empty doesn't have the same affect from what they say...I didn't get to the point of digging into the differences between SSD and HDD for my clone program before all hell broke loose in my life--quite a few times now haha.
On a side note, Magician is pretty low profile--unless your online, that thing is a data miner from hell, once you connect it basically never stops using your internet to some extent, iCUE is the only program I've seen thats actually worse--it does it ALL the time, it keeps adding my GPU and CPU to its monitoring without permission or even telling me...I don't need programs fighting over control of shit they don't control
For the data mining reason I prefered to disable it, I didn't know you need to keep it open for over provisioning, but atm I haven't activated it yet the over provisioning, my ssd is pretty empty, I've just the system on it and few programs.
ahha Cortana, I'm wondering in the near future we will have a more intelligent Cortana with gpt chat integrated, M$ Bing has already included a gpt chat bot in his search engine. I hope the blue assistent won't turn red or she will destroy our computers.
Blah, fuck that shit...Windows store shit list. My Windows 10 isn't nearly as clean, I keep a shortcut to the classic control panel and services console in my quick launch along with an auto-admin dos prompt and my fucking media player I can't stand the design so much...I honestly almost grabbed the classic shell program to make a whip version of it just for the simple fact I wanted a normal design on the start menu alone
Win10 media player and photo viewer are so bad, I prefer the classic too. I don't listen music with mp3 anymore on my computer I prefer online, but when I used to listen I used winamp and foobar2000. Foobar was the fastest one to open mp3 I used it with older computers. I'm glad it still exist now

you are confusing "old" and "easy". the main idea of old shooters is a labyrinth-like structure of levels, which is by no means easy. it lies so much on the surface that you want to ask the question - when was the last time you played shooters? both new and old?
Easy or not is subjective concept, a person can be fine playing in labyrinth structured games but not being comfortable with some modern shooters that are very fast to play, while another person can get lost in labyrinth but is very good with very fast modern games. Old Doom games aren't so hard you can set the difficulty from minimum and increase it when you can feel it.
It depends then if he wants to be better to play competitive online fps games we have nowdays, he has to practice with newer ones of course. So It would be better to try different Fps type and choose which one is better for him.
As I said this are only suggestions he will find what he likes more.
When did I play the last time? It should be some weeks ago
, Fanatical hates third worlders!
