As you know I bought a laptop (Lenovo $800) recently to use in my new Home Office aka the cellar and it's proved to be fine but I get tired of needing to recharge the battery seemingly all the time. At the end of the day I'm an old-fashioned Desktop and Box man but I think my next PC purchase will be an all-in-one. Did you find that interesting you miserable sod!

Microsoft will officially watermark old PCs that install Windows 11

Microsoft explained in its recent blog post that it doesn't recommend running Windows 11 on hardware that doesn't meet its specifications, as it means the machine won't receive critical security updates, making the system exponentially more vulnerable to progressively sophisticated cyber attacks.

...and they'll advertise it on your desktop for all to see.

Binary explained by a wooden counter.     (files.catbox.moe)

This is how you represent numbers as a series of light switches. The number of "bits" is how many digits you see on the counter. For example, old keyboards used to have a ribbon with 8 wires representing an 8-bit number, or (alternatively) a specific combination of the 8 different "switches", can actually represent one of 256 different and unique "keys" pressed on the keyboard. These unique "keys" would represent 0, 1, ... !, @, #, ... a, b, c ... A, B, C ... INS, RETURN, ... etc.

Logitech responds to developing a subscription-based 'forever mouse'

Pay monthly or your computer's mouse stops working.

"There are no plans for a subscription mouse. The 'forever mouse' is not an actual or planned product, but a peek into provocative internal thinking on future possibilities for more sustainable consumer electronics," wrote Logitech in an email

Its not rolled out yet, they are ironing out the kinks first.

Random old cheap motherboard bios is better than most new ones     (Computers)
submitted by AnmanIndustries to Computers 9 months ago (+15/-0)

I'm going through all my spare pc parts looking to build a win98 pc. I pull out this old asus cusi-m one with a 1gz pentium 3 in it. Looks like it was made in 2000. This board is pretty basic. Clearly designed for a workstation, has minimal slots, no agp and integrated graphics. Give it a clean and change the cmod battery and its working great. Go to the bios and find that it's full of an insane amount of features that most modern systems do not have. Or even the last 15 years. While I spend most of my time with bios as I hate eufi, this motherboard just blew my mind that it had the same level of features of what I would pro boards of the time or today.

Not sure of what I think about Asus stuff today though.

Microsoft confirms critical security vulnerability exposing billions of users

Microsoft has dubbed the security vulnerability "Dirty Stream" and explains the flaw can be traced back to a critical system that is responsible for the secure data exchange between different applications on a device. This system is also responsible for conducting handshake authorizations through safeguards such as the isolation of sensitive data, hiding any permissions that are attached to specific Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), and preventing any unauthorized access through validating file pathways.
