Ah thank you, the accent colors are my favourites and i3 or sway, my first proper go with Linux I had x11 and irc my system died and the readout was related to x11, I should imagine looking back that it was user error but at the time I figured I’d go with sway. I’ve had plenty of systems die since although I’m more equipped to fix the issue I may or may not of caused :3
That is… Not quite the same as I thought whenever I read that word. Around here, a co-op is a collective purchasing program or a store that participates in a similar program. They buy foods in bulk at wholesale prices. By bulk, I don’t mean the family size bags available at a membership club like Costco. I mean like a 100lb bag of flour meant for a restaurant or an entire pallet of something.
A group of people get together and make note of what they want to buy, and if enough people want the same item it gets purchased. Then they all meet up on delivery day and split the item at the amounts they paid for.
I’m assuming that is very different than what you are describing.
I’m using a Win7 machine at work, because I have to support a system that saw it’s last update in 2014. There is actually a Win10 compatible version of this software, but it only supports maybe a third of the chips of the original software, and sadly the ones we use are not among those.
And it can get worse. I’ve got an oscilloscope that “runs” under a heavily modified version of Win98…
Assuming it is not on the network, I don’t care what OS it runs. I’d like to see if I could run your OS on a virtual machine and give access to the hardware.
Does your scope give good resolution? How does it compare?
The scope is an old 4-Channel digital scope from HP (now Agilent). It cost about a fortune when it was bought, and now I got my hands on it for a (small) donation in the barbeque fund. It needs some work (some dials’ contacts need rework, and it definitly needs a new fan that does not sound like a starting plane. But otherwise, it is still good.
It only was retired because for our next project, 2GS won’t cut it. And the amount of samples it could store was not much (for our needs), too. Still overkill for my private projects, with the bonus that I don’t need to dig through manuals, as I know this thing inside out.
Reminds me of a recording studio I used to work at which had an MS-DOS machine long after Windows XP came out because it was what we printed cassette labels on. With a dot matrix printer.
Because she is 9 and doesn’t know how to do much of anything with a computer. So to ensure she doesn’t break anything or end up where she shouldn’t… Windows vista
to ensure she doesn’t break anything or end up where she shouldn’t…
So she uses an operating system that’s near to 2 decades old OS with years of live without any security patches whatsoever? I would say that’s rather more dangerous for her, than using an up to date operating system.
Just install an up to date os of your choice (be it Linux (Mint) or Windows) and create her an account without admin privileges and some reliable antivirus (especially on windows). If you want to be really safe you can filter her network traffic. There are countless tools for this. One of the easier ones to use is NextDNS even though it’s possible there are even better solutions.
Relax, it’s not that different from a modern computer. She not going to have it for ever anyway. She doesn’t use it for school. She does use more modern computers all the time for various things. And yes there are plenty of apps that still work on vista.
You laugh but the fact that you got a login confirmation notification means he got your password now. He’ll just need to guess your email password next and you’ll be truly owned. Set up 2fa on your email account if you haven’t set it up already.
