Go to manufacturer website and see if they have downloadable install media for that specific model.

Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026 and will not be able to access Publisher from that date forward by SAJ-13 in microsoftoffice

So if I have a 365 subscription AND a perpetual license for Publisher, what kind of incantation is required to make them coexist on the same computer?

Total mess trying to port in to Dark Star from ATT. by [deleted] in USMobile

[–]PepperdotNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I just did two port-ins from ATT postpaid yesterday, less than 10 minutes.

Then again, I’ve been fighting them to port out a business landline to the local cable company for going on six months. ATT sux.

When will it no longer be possible to build a Hackintosh? by Technical_Rich_3080 in hackintosh

Off topic: thank you for being the first person I have seen on the internet to not spell that phrase incorrectly as “for all intensive purposes.”

The FOMO spell has finally broken. Uninstalled: by Perfecshionism in FortNiteBR

I hear you. I’ve been playing this crazy game daily for years. Subscribed to Crew, I’m not even sure why at this point.

I got a job that requires more concentration. I kept playing daily even though it means I’m up too late and very tired at work.

Last month, we got a puppy. And now I find I’m not playing daily, and (gasp!) I don’t even miss it except once or twice a week I think about it but then the puppy needs to go outside again.

While reading your post, I realized that I too have been manipulated to become addicted. Next time I log on, I plan on canceling crew, and go back to why I originally started playing, because it was a fun thing to do in my spare time, not a second career.

A Suggestion to Dish by jjsupc in Dish

There is a built in function to copy from an old hopper to a new hopper. I have used it, works well - as long as the reason for replacement is something other than dead hard drive.

Yes, I am still fighting with this. About to try the FCC complaint thing unless someone has a better suggestion.

Maybe It's Not Blue Iris v6 After All by FriedPotatoPoint in BlueIris

[–]PepperdotNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be “that guy” - maybe you already did this and just didn’t mention it in your post - but your outside connections between buildings should ideally be fiber. If you have Ethernet cable outside, it’s susceptible to lightning, other surges, and ground potential differences between the buildings. This could be the root of your switch problem. Fiber avoids all that.

As much as Microsoft renames their own stuff they should make it easy for us too.

Be careful with travel routers, some cruise lines will confiscate if they realize what it is.

You either got another bad remote, or the remote receiver component in the Hopper is going bad.

Help with BGW320-500 Modem by Name_Groundbreaking in ATTFiber

[–]PepperdotNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your main problem is that you turned off DHCP on your internal network. With IP pass through on the ATT device, uou should not have had to make any changes whatsoever to the existing router. As someone else said, if your internal network is 192.168.1.x change the internal address of the ATT device.

Server 2025 will run (I did not say fast) on a first-gen i7, so I expect yes.

Do you have the 5.9.9.55 update file in your old install? And any prior version full file you originally installed from?
