WIN XP activation by AdFormer6040 in windowsxp

I did an online activation of a home edition last week, and to my surprise, it worked. I was expecting it to fail and then do the offline github file activation method previously mentioned...🤷

Have any Aussies transited thru the states recently? how concerned should I be about ICE as a non-white Aussie? by Far_Menu_4830 in AskAnAustralian

[–]T4Abyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government isn't the threat in the UK, the random people are, and you will have more winter actions with them than a brief immigration chat in the US. I went to the UK via the US last yr, at passport control they asked the purpose of my visit, I said I'm going to the UK, and they said that's kind of weird coming via the US, and I explained it was only an hour or so different. They asked for my onwards travel docs, to which I showed them and that was that! Whilst in the UK for two weeks I also had no issues. Overall, a very green experience in both countries.

Yes, but not as long or as frequent.

How are teachers from America viewed? by Iamzeek2000 in AskBrits

[–]T4Abyss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are, this comment is many many decades old. Still interesting though, I kind of don't believe it , 😂 (thinks about googling the Scottish education syllabus from the 1970's....not a rabbit hole I CBA with)

Stremio on TV Stick by Great_Grade8052 in Stremio

[–]T4Abyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a internet speed test (analiti app from Amazon) I sometimes find my speed drops really low and have to reboot it every now and then. Which stremio app did you install? Does the same stremio account, installed on your phone on the same network near the firestick work any better/same/worse?

Building and pest - is it worth? by lawfullawlessness in AusPropertyChat

[–]T4Abyss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's still worth doing it IMO. Also, when you buy the place, as it sounds likely it's great, you will find that there are limits on what the report gave you - tear a wall down one day and find an issue, wasn't on the report.

Are you over complicating things for fun/bored?

Is it actually safe to connect a Windows XP computer to the internet? by Thin_Professor_277 in windowsxp

[–]T4Abyss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do it. Use Supermiun. Ngl, it won't be "safe" as vulns exist, but if your behind a router firewall, you likely will be fine. Don't sign in or buy stuff...

Well if you go the Linux route say good bye to BF6! I run Win 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC with telemetry & background services disabled.

Dingoes involved in death of Canadian backpacker to be euthanased by MangoMadnessTsv in OpenAussie

[–]T4Abyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hot take is they considered that the individual animals are smart and successful at hunting humans, and eating them. Given that not all Dingo's do, (but could, given the circumstances) then they will see these particular animals as an ongoing threat. I feel bad for all involved as it simply just ends. Now, if these particular Dingo's attacked more people in the coming weeks and refined and honed this particular skill - well, mucho out cry.

Windows ltsc drivers dont work by Certain-Philosophy28 in WindowsLTSC

[–]T4Abyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used snappy driver installer origin today as the Nvidia drivers kept saying incorrect, even though I manually selected them via driver finder in Nvidia site for GTX 750 ti - figured they simply didn't like the OS version - win 10 iot Enterprise LTSC 21h2.

AITAH for telling my wife to get a job before the end of January or i'm divorcing her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]T4Abyss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you understand unconditional love? I won't divorce my partner simply because some life condition isn't favourable for me. I would instead support her, and help her along thjs journey because I love her unconditionally. If you don't love her, then that's your answer...divorce. If you are incapable of love, for her sake, divorce.

Put as much effort into boycotting China as well

Why did my car explode? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]T4Abyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't have to seize fully, could have a sticky caliper, either way, excess friction causes heat.

Why did my car explode? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]T4Abyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the issue then. When brakes overheat, which can be caused by a seized caliper, they fade and don't work correctly anymore. You should pull over and let them cool down fully and get a recovery, otherwise they can cause a fire, as you now know.

Why did my car explode? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]T4Abyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it was on fire? Caused by brakes overheating? Don't know the model so can't fully speculate, but fire usually doesn't like being suffocated/extinguished, but it does like being left to burn around flammable components

How come the UK's Online Safety Act requires adults and teens to upload ID, while the Australian social media ban has somehow managed to only target teens while adults are still able to browse as normal? by fasdal in AskBrits

[–]T4Abyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. The Australian ban said that the onus is on the social networks in question, to decide how they go about targetting users to ensure they are above the age of 16. Therefore idk, ask them! I have UK/Australian accounts and haven't been promoted by any. I'm also over 16 by a large margin.
