If it records every keystroke it's a key logger. Yup. I gave up on trying to get USB drivers on Win 7. I did manage to get Win 8.1 installed but kept getting those annoying warning popups informing me that I installed the wrong o/s. No joke. The good news is that Linux does seem to install just...

Thanks. I tried that (meaning I tried the other option) but when I boot back to Ubuntu everything disappears. Gonna need the script. Thanks again for providing it.

I'm a Linux user and recently purchased a keyboard from Logitech that uses RGB software. Although the RGB part of it isn't a priority for me I would like it to at least "light up" to the default blue so that my keys are lit in the dark. I can't seem to find any code for this to run in Terminal...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/07/windows_10_data_collection/ Apart from doing some intensive surgery this could prove an option. https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater Putting the check marks in during set up is merely a formality IMO. It changes precious little. If anything...

This post is predominantly for those who are upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8.1. Many of you have already heard about it and have already chosen your course of reparation. Still, I think it is worth some consideration for those who choose to upgrade to Windows 10. There are many links...

You know, if I could get a bare bones, zero key logger, zero bloatware, real operating system (as opposed to a tablet o/s) from Microsoft that would work with these new platforms I wouldn't hesitate to pay 200 bucks for it. That's just me. I wouldn't demand it of others but I do like my options...

I'd rather pay 50 bux without the added hassle. I found a good third party program (it looks like) for blocking Windows Keylogger completely but I'd rather just completely uninstall it. Same goes for Cortana and all the rest of it. But perhaps the real blame should rest squarely upon the...

Oh, 50 bucks isn't so much to pay. The profit would be made on the aps people buy from the good ole Microsoft store. You're right about Google. There's a reason it isn't on my system and I'm not missing it in the least. There's also a reason I'm a Linux user. That 20% that I refer to would...

Has the time already come for this thread to degrade? I agree with what you say of people in general. I agree with what you say about the mass market. I disagree with your disagreement. I don't believe people are so far gone that if it were properly marketed and presented that building your own...

Like fungus

Okay so. . . It's been a while. Ambient temps up here in the G.W.N. where I live now reaching minus 43° . This a bad time to be moving. Perhaps a good time to try some over clocking in a fishing tent. I committed the Cardinal Sin: I installed Windows 10 on my stick of Intel NVMe. I have dual...

Thanks for refreshing my memory. Ryzen 7 3800X is a Zen2 Gen 3 CPU, I believe. I wouldn't want to confuse the generations of Zenerations but there's quite a stack of them out there now. I'm using BIOS version 1201. So far I've managed to stay away from Windows 10. I'm pretty sure I won't need it...

I guess I was taking it all for granted. My old Sony Vaio desk top also had one built in and it was like standard DDR RAM. Sometimes you really have to dig to find it. I dunno, guess I fluked out. Couldn't find one on this AMD platform. Perhaps it is a typical AMD thing?

I always thought the mem test was a standard feature. lol Even the old Dell Inspirons had one in their non-EFI BIOS. Legacy, I think they're calling it now. My old, 87 year old aunt's Hp has one built into it and that's how I could tell she had bad RAM. lol She's still playing games on the...

Well thank you for that little snippet of info, Aquinus. All I can say is every Intel build I ever did included a mem test of some sort. Even the low budget Dell's and Hp's I've repaired have all had them built in. As for MemTest86, as it seems to be called, I don't recall any of them going by...
