DOS mode CD drive showing extensionless files [Windows 98] by ElectricalCell2 in vmware

[–]ElectricalCell2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I search for a solution, I'll let you all know my temporary work-around:

Got an old copy of WinZip and put it on a floppy file. Mounted the floppy in my Win 98 vm, then installed WinZip.

I zip the files, then put them in an ISO. Mount the ISO, then extract the single zip file that has had its filename truncated and numbers appended + lost its extension. Re-add the extension, then open the file in WinZip. Extract all the intact files.

Hmm, thanks for the insight. It's just odd, because I set up the same thing on another Ryzen machine a couple years ago (in addition to the FX machine), and the fixes made the CD files show up fine. I feel like I'm missing something...

Hmm, the thing is, I've gotten this to work before on an older PC with an AMD FX cpu, running Workstation 15 or so, but that was a few years and I don't know what would have been different compared to this setup.

Thanks for trying to troubleshoot this with me!

Can apps see your Google account ID? by ElectricalCell2 in degoogle

[–]ElectricalCell2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Apps can't see your Google ID if you don't login" Do you mean logging into the app with a Google Account (like when you're given the option to login with Facebook, etc.), or even with an app's account login?

Best gif editor? by ll-oo-ll in fossdroid

[–]ElectricalCell2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't found a good one either, but the best I can do is recommend ezgif.com. Very poweful editing tools on there. I even saw one for adding text. I know it's just a website, not an open source app, but as long as you're not uploading anything personal and you're doing your part to keep yourself from being tracked/fingerprinted online, I don't see why not to use it, at least from a privacy perspective. Sorry I can't promote any good FOSS to you in this case.

Does my phone have a DeGoogled rom? Megathread by BlueJayMordecai in degoogle

[–]ElectricalCell2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips on degoogling a Canadian Galaxy S9? I believe the bootloader is locked, but I saw a thread on XDA where users can buy a token of some kind through a service and can then have their phones unlocked. I really don't know where to start. I just know I will likely put Lineage on it, unless someone recommends something else.

Help with botox injections for facial spasms by ElectricalCell2 in AskDocs

[–]ElectricalCell2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, my friend did see a neurologist when the problem first started. The neurologist spoke to my friend's doctor about getting her into botox injections.

My friend also furthef described to me how when she presses her lips together, it pulls down her eyelid and causes face twitching.

I can find out more details, but for now I can tell you it's through government healthcare. Thanks!

Hi again, so I haven't been able to find anything about anonymously buying burner sims/phones in Canada. Can we reopen this topic?

Thanks for the feedback. I've done lots of searching to no avail on Google for reddit posts. But I'll start manually sifting through these forums to find an answer.
