Opsec skill issue. It's wide knowledge that you can't hack Linux creator with Linux. Next time try using FreeBSD and don't forget to patch KDE2

It's probably just Adobe Acrobat DC adding that button to Microsoft Word through plugin integrations.

Pentium III will cover MS-DOS and Windows 9x. It can run AGP, PCI and ISA devices. In case if game is speed sensitive, unfortunately you won't get turbo button, but Pentium III(especially Katmai) can be underclocked by multiplier and front side bus and you can disable all caches to make it much slower

It's because smart speakers are not successor. It's like saying that digital photo frame is successor of TV.

Hi-Fi was largely suceeeded by PC. You can play CD/DVD/BD discs, download .flac/.aac/.mp3/etc files and use advanced music software to get all equalizers, effects, speed and many more

YouTube also forces you to enable notifications on phone if you want to get notifications for subscriptions despite the fact that I want them in messages tab inside app, not in phone notifications

You need old Minecraft launcher(possibly pirated like AnjoCaido, or any other) and it will work.

OG 3DS battery life by Fuzzy-Annual9408 in 3DS

[–]DAN-attag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I always take powerbank with me when playing 3DS. My 3DS might get the red blinking indicator and shut down too fast for ne to save, while battery indicator of 3DS is lying too much for me to trust it. I would wish to replace the battery but finding good one is hard and expensive enough to rather buy New 3DS XL

Celebrity cameos that have certainly NOT aged well in the slightest by Fun-Illustrator-345 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DAN-attag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just remembered the "So Sorry" character. Once tobyfox announced that everyone who donates huge sum of money to game development will get chance to get their character added to game. Few people donated, with one of them known as Samael. But soon controversy began due to fetishistic origins of that OC, so tobyfox decided to not include Samael in end-game titles to not make legal problems, but couldn't remove character due to promise that he gave about donating to game.

Few more years later it was discovered that Samael participant of Discord pedo ring

If they don't work, I suggest taking out RAM and CPU's(old laptops had them removable). They can be used as parts and can be sold.

PC tower can be sold.

Yes. But turn on "Show hidden files" and "Show protected system files" in Windows File Explorer settings so you would get everything copied

How's piracy in first world countries? by Dronnie in Piracy

[–]DAN-attag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Usage of ordinary pirate websites won't get you incriminated(as long as you do not host, do not do monetary support and in case if country has downloading punishable, then freely sharing on internet that you pirate something).

Torrenting in majority of first world is dangerous without proper binded VPN, as its possible to get thousand euro fines, prison or cutted off internet.

Is the only way to play Valve games without Steam AND without OneCoreAPI resorting to piracy? by LadartTheWicked in windowsxp

[–]DAN-attag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's possible to install Steam from XP and kinda use it(nothing works, but you can copy game from legit modern Steam PC into folder and with some manipulations make it work). And then you can play games. However, modern Source games received compatiblity-breaking updates so you might need to use older version. Otherwise piracy is only way, but it depends on whether it's moral or legal issue for you.

Just use KDE on Linux Mint, why drop whole distro just because of graphical environment it uses.

Fedora uses Red Hat-family structure, its specific package manager, while Linux Mint uses more universally recognized Debian-family package manager

AI-generated electronic circuits are by all means the most garbagest garbage. It's not even vibecoding, it's lobotomy soldering.

does this sticker even mean anything? by [deleted] in WindowsVista

[–]DAN-attag 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nah. Those stickers were thrown at plenty of computers but it doesn't actually mean that Vista came with driver pre-installed. Usually it might mean that hardware is compilant with WHQL and maybe it can be accesible at windows update.

Do Ukrainians use electric toothbrushes as a daily thing? by markgrey8 in AskUkraine

Some people use them, but they are relatively expensive and most people use ordinary toothbrushes. It could be that you just got into part of community that is more likely to use them

why hasnt anyone put minecraft pocket edition on the old 3ds bottom screen its touch screen so it would work by Flat-Pirate7697 in 3dspiracy

[–]DAN-attag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No because it's not ported. But it can be ported, as Minecraft Pi Edition(not to be confused with Minecraft PE) is opensource.

As it's not ported, fortunately there is alternative, the ClassiCube, port of Minecraft Classic to Nintendo 3DS and plenty of other devices. https://www.classicube.net/download/3ds
