    Should I be worried?

    Out of interest, Windows 10 LTSC IoT (Internet of Things) will be supported until Jan 13th 2032. Obviously I'm not suggesting that you should install this and run a readily available script to permanently activate it on your hardware, as this would be in breach of Microsoft's EULA.

    Kodi on 4k Fire Stick Max

    If the MediaInfo data you've posted is accurate, then on the face of it there's nothing about either of those files which should prove even remotely challenging to a Fire Stick of any generation. In fact, the bitrates are rather low for 1080p AVC files, so I doubt if the "high quality" issue you...

    US: For All Mankind

    The original plan was for seven seasons: https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/for-all-mankind-creators-discuss-their-seven-season-plan/ . Apple haven't confirmed a fifth season yet, but it seems the viewing figures for season 4 were pretty decent so there are good grounds for optimism. I presume once...

    **Dell PowerEdge T20 Mini Tower Server - Owner Thread**

    Just as a heads-up, there's now an adapter kit from AliExpress (and probably other outlets closer to home) which will allow simple connection of any standard case to the Dell's front panel headers and power switch, with no cable hacks required (don't think it was available when the case...

    Kid bypassing Laptop Windows Password

    I think you have to factor in the inevitable future advances in computing power and hacking techniques - what may take 18,000 years today may take only a couple of months in a few years time, so you might want to choose a solution which would currently take until the heat death of the universe...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    If it were simply a case of occasionally expressing a "controversial" opinion in a thread to which it had some relevance, then I suppose not. When it's repeated, deliberate and calculated baiting, often completely off-topic and with no purpose other than to provoke, antagonise and offend (god...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Seriously, you all keep responding to the absolute textbook definition of a forum troll. For example, in the context of this thread, could praising the dress sense of "President Putin" have any imaginable purpose other than to intentionally wind people up? Don't play his game by rising to the...

    Jeff Beck RIP

    Nah, if he were genuinely interested he could simply have typed "Jeff Beck" into that Google thing (even people born in the 60s will have heard of this) and got his answer in way less time than it would take to wait for a forum response, as could any other "who?" edgelord. I've never understood...

    W11 & W10 LaptopDrivers

    Best way to do it is probably right-click on anything with a question mark in Device Manager, copy the hardware ID (Properties > Details > Hardware ID from the drop down list), then google for it. It might be something you wouldn't expect, eg "base system driver" could just be a card reader or...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Somewhat encouraging signs of cracks in the Russian propaganda machine at home: "Russian state television goes off message by broadcasting criticism of war. Normally a loyal source of pro-Kremlin propaganda, Russia 1 broadcasts guests describing the invasion as like ‘Afghanistan, but even...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    I realise this was intended as nothing more than mean-spirited rhetoric, but if people have a room or two going spare and are genuinely interested in providing practical help, there are a number of avenues available; I've just signed up with this one: https://www.refugeesathome.org/.

    Who was your teenage crush?

    This is an easy one, surprised she's only had one brief mention so far: Also not seen Sally James from Tiswas mentioned yet: She's described in the last clip as "getting a good gunging" which I seem to remember is what all the kids at school wanted to do to her. Or something.

    Babylon 5 starts tonight on Watch

    Jesus Christ, I had no idea (that she'd died, that is). Yet another B5 cast member to die before their time. Bizarre and tragic. /edit: just saw the tribute thread :(

    I want to move my dell

    Have a look at what this guy in the Dell T20 thread did, it might be applicable to your situation: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/30222101 Not sure how much trouble you want to go to though, it could be a classic case of "if I wanted to get there, I wouldn't start from here."

    Music Editing Software (Free)

    Do bear in mind that Audacity converts MP3 files to uncompressed PCM for editing purposes before re-encoding back to MP3, therefore the output will be lower quality than the original due to lossy>lossy encoding. This may or may not be an issue in practice depending on your use case. If you want...
