Re: "When you hold down the Fn key..."

Buy a ThinkPad, they quite easily have the best keyboards on the market, well outside if that damned FN key being in the wring place ..

Re: The left no longer understand what democracy means.

Why do keep droning on about women having their rights stripped, this is simply false..

The decision makers have changed that is all....

It's no longer SCOTUS, it's your local state.... Which means that "you" can vote to make the changes... Nothing is more democratic than that, the vote remains with "you".... What don't you understand about that, it really is very very simple.

DOXXING the Scotus memebers is tantamount to anarchy... It will achieve nothing but negative results.

Re: Ah, twitter

Personally I would like to learn how and by whom the bots are being controlled.. it's a bit like follow the money ina detective case ...

Re: I wish it was retroactive.

I did it using this way by doing the two regedit's that Rufus does for you....

This link gives you both methods, I have tried both and can conform that they both work, Rufus obviously with a fresh install and also the Upgrade from W10..

https://www.alphr.com/bypass-windows-11-requirements/

There are quite a few sites listing the same method..

However even after 6 months I am still trying to find the advantages of W11.. It's ok but dfinately nothing world changing.. It's not bad though and I find it very stable..

Re: Hoping they can publish a fix soon.

The open source community is faltering because of the behavior you'd expect from unsocialized "men"...

If it's Open Source then you are free to do your own thing, why would you remain in such an environment if such is the case.. Do your own fork and develop a nice group of people, why is that a problem for you..

Don't look for a problem, become the solution.

" Children killed because they got hold of parent's gun (which was not securely stored);"

Ok then there are a hundred other items that we should remove from houses thenm, Bleach, Gasoline , Medication etc etc .. Again the gun is not the cause it merly the catalyst. Why were the guns not locked up correctly.. It's a case of stupid people not dangerous items0

"Suicides"

Again , remove the gun and they will use Drugs, Alcohol, Pieces of rope. Gun's don't make suicide easier, it's just a tool as that moment.. All suicides are not done by shooting oneself.

"Making a start on gun control to address these areas would save many lives"

Gun Control already exists as it does in other countries where there are not the same problems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

Have a look at the deaths related to firearms and firearms per capita... Why does Finland, Germany, Norway, Switzerkand, Kuwait etc not have a huge amounts of firearms related deaths yet they still have a high number of guns per capita...

It's a culture problem no matter how you try and wind round it.

Re: Is it true that it uses proprietary bits?

I don't have this exact model but I know that mine defiantly has proprietary connecters between the PSU and the Motherboard..

When my PSU fried it suddenly became a whole lot of extra pain to find the "adapter" and then have to perform some electrical shenanigans to correctly set things up.. You have to use a paperclips between two pin in order to allow for a boot.. It's easy to do but it feels like you lose any advantages that Lenovo has to offer( if there ever were any)

Re: Administrivia

@DioDesign

Thanks again for replying but in 14 years I have never seen so many comments being moderated. On the extremely rare occasion in the the past I may have waited, at most , 30 minutes. In the last 2 months or so , it has now become the majority of my posts and some of them take 2 days before being published.

What is the explanation for the increase in both the quantity of posts being put under verification and the increase in waiting times.

After many years it is very obvious to me that something has changed in the getting process.

Re: Finger-Wagging

It's not a gun problem , it's a culture problem...

If you can't change the culture, you can't change the problem.....

It's for that reason that many of todays movements don't actually change anything or do anything positive, because they are not changing the cultural problem that are the fundamental root causes..

Re: It's okay when we do it

It think you missed the irony.. Nobody in the EU wants that..

Re: No

Ok now I have understood that everytime I reply to (a) certain author(s) my comments are sytematically put into the "Waiting for moderation " queue. I will keep track but I think I see that common element...

This is not by chance as it now happens on non controversial threads....

What's to sensitive about this thread :

https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/17/eu_tech_deepfakes/ that it requires moderation...

Something has started to change at El Reg....

Re: Its a f**king amendment - of course you can change it

"Quite simply people are dying in the US because of gun crime"

Let my correct that.

"Quite simply people are dying in the US because of crime"

The fact that a gun is involved is irrelevant.. How many people die each day from drugs, car accidents, alcohol, robbery, murder....

The US of A has become a mentally unstable place to live... Solve the mental/cultural problems then we will start to see a difference.

Same here, for work I have a Logitech K280, it's wired, kinda clunky but I love the layout. Also there is decent space between the Alphabet keys and the arrow keys etc...

I used to have an MX Keys but the lack of space separating the various parts really annoyed me.

Re: The real world as it is, or as you'd like it?

"The problem is that companies will inevitably use this AI to make hiring decisions. Then you end up with an AI that rejects male flight attendants because the archetypal flight attendant is female."

A company that uses "ML" to hire employees is already a company that has problems...

Re: Irony

"Maybe think of it like the movies Hollywood produces via the same type of creepy committees as opposed to the singular-vision of an auteur like Kubrick......hopefully!"

ultimately all commitees have a chaiman who generally has a vote "more equal" that the others memebers so the status quo remains.

Re: Orwellian nightmare

"In the Winter, I'm pale blue. Part of the year I'm a very light tan. If I go out without sunscreen, I'm red."

Sounds about typical for a Scotsman.

Re: Where it all began...for some

The spectrum was the reason I got into IT. It was my 1st step into the world or programming...

Wonderful memories even 40 years later

Re: Next Monster Raving Loony candidate for President

Look at those already in power and then you realize that Elon Musk would probably be a far better candidate.

It feels as though Clown World has become the defacto state of affaires.

Re: Most of us don't give a toss.

"And, why is ENDING (apparently) POLITICALLY MOTIVATED BANS *BAD* for them?"

It's not bad for Twitter as such, it's only bad for those that want to push their ideologies unchallenged or those with political gains to be achieved...

True democracy gives everyone a voice regardless of how stupid, evil or disagreeable that that might be.

Re: What about Twitter and it's ilk

"Since the plebs have had a connection." or since the Plebs had access to Social-Media?

I don't remember it being such a bad place in the times of Bulletin Boards and the various Forums ( Usenet, Fidonet, moving on to CompuServe etc)...

I would put it around the time of the Web 2.0 when the storm erupted...

PC = Personal Computer ..............

Mac's, WinBoxes, Sinclair's , Spectrums, Atari's are all PCs..

Let's not forget what it actually means ...

One line in the registry and you can very easily install W11.
