That's a great suggestion. Do your apps keep settings in ini files or the registry? If the registry, can you export the registry settings and merge them on the new system?

Hello! Welcome to the cool spot.

Has anyone used software from [SSuite Software](https://www.ssuiteoffice.com/)? Two brothers writing software on the side? (Information on the brothers [Here near the bottom](https://www.ssuiteoffice.com/aboutus.htm). It reminds me of Microsoft Works on steroids. Interestingly, there are directions online for installing Works on Windows 10/11. 🤷‍♂️ Bewildered.

Many people believe Gordon Moore's law (prediction) isn't relevant today. 🤷 I do know that I don't pay as much attention to processor speed as I used to.

Probably never listened to 45s or 33s. Or had to tell the kids not to dance so close to the turntable. Or had to wedge a book of matches in your 8 track. Or had to wait for your favorite song to play on AM or FM WITHOUT the DJ …

I didn't experience any problems with software after upgrading from Windows 10 to 11. Admittedly, most of the software I use is MS, so I'm sure that helped. Did the software report an error or just crash? Two options I would try: 1. Re-install the software. Maybe a DLL / …

No clue, I don't have Pro. I did see you can "uncheck Enable Secure Boot to bypass the TPM requirement." I'm sure you've already read that.

You need a different way to track participation than requiring an email address.

Tesla, I assume? If they can reduce the cost of the tech used in Waymo cars, I suspect it would be the dominant tech.

I wasn't too far behind you - April 5, 2007.

I haven't seen anything that really wows me these lately. I guess if your last viewpoint was from decades ago (even beyond the 90s), today's software and hardware would be impressive. Most of it seems iterative to me. It would be awesome to have a gamechanger come along. The spying …

@rproffitt I'll add an interesting case. A while back, I searched for "how to use Windows Fax and Scan" on Bing.com. I clicked on one of the videos in the results and noticed it was an embedded YouTube video. I viewed the page source wondering how they could embed a …

While working at the computer, I often watch YouTube live stream webcams. Three of my favorites at the moment are: [Venice Beach](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LXQWU67Ufk?autoplay=1&mute=1) (those people are healthy! So many walk, run and bike; [Bryant Park NYC](https://youtu.be/809RMryNnlM?autoplay=1&mute=1) Winter Village (where hundreds of people love to ice skate; and [Santa Claus Village](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp4RRAEgpeU?autoplay=1&mute=1), Rovaniemi, …

I agree, the novelty of it all back then was amazing. Dazzling accomplishments came about much easier. Despite the pitfalls, the tech we have today has had a profound impact on the lives of people that have access. Googling from a cell phone? Holy hell, I drove to the beach …

I truly don't get all the Dani AI hate. What am I missing? (Genuine question. No attitude. I must be missing something.)

Perhaps a more generic SQL forum besides SQLite? I know Access SQL differs from the ANSI standard and SQL Server, so being able to distinguish between the flavors would be helpful.

I'll admit, at first I was skeptical of the value, but now I like it. It gives me more to read about the post and perhaps a different perspective. I can always scroll on passed. I'm surprised it bothers you that much. I guess an on/off switch would be nice. …

For the user: Reading hardware and software manuals (does anything come with a printed manual these days?). Mastering motherboard pin jumpers. Low-level formatting disks and understanding tracks and sectors (FDisk anyone?). BIOS anything. Expanded and Extended memory configuration. Terminate and Stay Resident programs. Config.sys and Autoexec.bat. Basically anything DOS, although …

But not letting your mom on the network?

Jim reminded me of a quote: “If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing.” Benjamin Franklin

While texting has largely replaced phone conversations, it has helped maintain local and distant connections that would have faltered. I exchange texts with people that live in the same town, or nearby, that I wouldn't call. These days, many people prefer a text. Texting and FaceTime allow me to maintain …

Recently, it hasn't been helpful when I had a programming question, which I find puzzling. I would think that would be one of the easiest to get correct.

> rproffitt commented: The drop will cost billions and do little but enrich the rich. Change my mind. Isn't that what has been happening since January?

But hey, the admin is pushing 50-year mortgages. 😡

Supporting through money often comes with strings attached.

Are you running both Windows Defender and Avast?

I remember when all software came with printed manuals and local help, not a link to a webpage. Even better yet, I remember when IBM PCs came with hard cover 3-ring binders (The manual was shrink wrapped you had to put in the binder yourself). But back then you had …

Can't contribute much. I don't have FB or Insta as I refuse to support MZ. I deleted my Twitter because I think Elon is a huge douche. Guess I'm getting radical in my old age. I do think any source being a monopoly is a bad thing. I'm greatly concerned …

I don't even upgrade my desktop anymore. I spec it how I want, and by the time it no long meets my needs, the whole thing is ready to be replaced. I never upgraded a laptop because back in the day, they weren't easy to take apart. Maybe these days …

I asked Copilot. Good reasoning. I believe it. Matches my inferior intellect. 🤣

I'd say more often than not, I've been more disappointed with upgrades than being pleased. My latest is the YouTube phone app. I wish I never updated. As for Bluetooth, I spent an hour today with Windows Phone Link and the MS iPhone app Link to Windows. With my phone …

It's been 15 years since they were last seen on DaniWeb. I doubt they contact you.

There's MS Copilot in my Notepad now; it can easily be turned off, but it's there. I wonder how far Copilot's penetration will go in Windows 11?

Last night, embedded YouTube videos started resulting in a "Error 153 Video player configuration error" which sucks as I long ago wrote a desktop app to view webcams in Edge WebView2. After quite a bit of time trying "fixes" suggested by MS Copilot, I gave up and said "No matter …

It seems like they're till getting a lot of activity, not all AI pastes. I really dislike their UI.

The post title somewhere visible on the page when you scroll below the top... but I already asked for this. Drop-down menus under each item under FORUMS. Again, previously mentioned. Comment entry text box with more than one line. Mentioned. Search filters and sorting options. Also mentioned. lol Other than …

Well I went down the rabbit hole. Interesting reading though. Your (I assume rhetorical) question reminds me of the Brexit issue of the EU imposing laws on sovereign states. Kind of pisses you off. Most of the reading was rather vague. I'm sure it's difficult to cover every scenario (GDPR.EU). …

> However, I do agree that even as a solo programmer, the client should decide what language to use.... It should be entirely my decision if that website is created in PHP or .NET It's late on the East... am I reading that right? The client should decide the language, …

How do you update the tags under Skills and Interests in your Business Card?

I've noticed a number of posts made by people that just joined DaniWeb, never to be seen again. Some make a similar post under a different name with a different tag. Usually they're 'educational' posts; ask a question then answer it. I love the glowing reply by another freshly minted …

I'm not a python programmer, but I thought it was quite interesting, particularly how it came about and the conflict of 2.7 vs 3. It's kind of cool that a few people got together and developed something that has such a broad reach. Some of the people have interesting (and …

If you're brave enough to mess with file type, [NirSoft](https://www.nirsoft.net/) has a free file type manager. It's the last program under DeskTop Utilities. I've used it several times. His stuff seems legit. It will list all the file types and let you edit the actions and more (double-clicking a file …
