Re: SAMBA?

Yep, and all the NAS stuff based on it out there like QNAP Synology etc. Scanners with network file drop etc ... lots of stuff.

I can only assume that it will still be possible to configure fallback eg down to SMB2, 3.02 and it's only the default that's changing.

At least I *really* hope so !

As it happens, the latest version of Inkscape now supports multi-page documents in SVG, and so can import multiple pages of PDF :)

Re: Ah Elite !

Do a search for oolite keyconfig -- it's a little tool listed in the wiki that can generate the different keymaps including the defaults from the BBC.

oolite is still my goto for the nostagia hit.

Another nod to 7zip from me.

TBF the only time I see .rar files anyway, they are used as a carrier for a malware payload. All rar files we receive via email are quarantined on sight. It's probably last century when I last saw a legit one.

Re: Update: 19.03.2021 Latest Patch, on Patch, on Patch: KB5001649 Fails to install.

Installing from the catalog in to WSUS seems to have worked on two of my test rigs so far. The good news is that it does actually seem to have fixed the issue.

All we need to do now is get an update for the same broken issue in the Server 2012 R2 CU patch :(

Re: Can't Play Elite...

I found the docking computers more of a hinderence - especially after I'd played for long enough to get the muscle memory on the roll keys down to match rotation without even thinking. I tended to make heavy use of the BBC not being able to process multiple pressed keys at once for some 'on a sixpence' manoeuvring. To my detriment I then could never get the hang of some of the emulated versions or re-emaginings on other platforms.

Oolite was about my favourite non-original - but I still found myself remapping keys to the 'old ways'

Re: most of the spam comes from gmail addresses.

I agree, much of the time the gmail addresses themselves might be spoofed, but what I'm seeing a great deal in our samples is that Google are the unwitting hosts of the actual attack content / fake web pages through their firebase cloud storage.

Lots of links like https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/reallylongurl...

Re: Damned if you do. Damned if you don't

In all fairness the day job requires me to manage windows on the desktop -- but I'm posting this from OpenSuSE Leap.

For what it's worth, the Greggs next to the 72 stop is still there :)

Re: I'll wait for NoScript to be back

In the meantime waiting for noScript, try giving uMatrix a go -- The speed bump in FF57 is definitely worth it.

Re: Bah!

With a new or re-build of W7, then wsusoffline is most definitely your friend ! You'll be fully patched again in no time.
