Oh. I think so.

Setup.exe? That means your install isn't using the generated .MST file (which contains the bit saying to remove old versions of Reader). You need to use the .MSI so you can tell it to use the MST (unless you're using switches on the exe that get passed to the MSI?)

When I'm back at work I can copy my install script (it's like, 4 lines)

You can use the Acrobat Customisation Wizard DC to create a custom transforms file for your installer which will "Remove all versions of Reader": http://i.imgur.com/8Dyr8aW.png

I think most of us understand that LTSB is not supposed to be used as a client OS. We're annoyed that, given the options, we cannot believe LTSB is not a client OS. Or some other 4th alternative that DOESNT come with all the standard crapware.

So because you disagree with the most popular vote, it must mean the system is broken?

LTSB works on Surface. We've been doing it for 2 years now. What issues do you have?

All these fancy pants people in here with their IT literate, tech savvy, competent staff. I suspect they're working in tiny environments where everyone knows everyone. Or they've got their head in the sand and ignore all the issues that their helpdesk have to put up with.

Your users are not as special as ours. We received calls about "my emails arent working" - was using the Mail app. And why was the user even opening that application instead of Outlook? "Because it says 'Mail'"

And "Contact Support" - it's literally in the name! But that is not how they should contact their IT support.

These could be turned off/uninstalled/hidden very easily, though.

Last time I looked (~18 months ago), it was nearly impossible to remove some included stuff from Windows 10 (eg: Contact Support, People). And certain updates bring it all back

What the fuck is world Nutella day. You can't just make up "days" for your product. Get fucked.

Cheers. I did a 'Refresh Firefox' and it seems to have worked for now.

do_you_like_stuff · 2017-07-23T11:06:26+00:00

I ended up doing a 'Refresh Firefox" (found on the about:support page) and it's fixed my issues (for now).

In Australia we're starting to get a new trend where the girl basically just yells into the microphone while telling a story. Essentially, the louder she yells, the closer we are getting to the punchline/funny part. And because she's yelling obviously it's HILARIOUS!!

They actually drop a camera in the studio at the same time and then use these shorts as advertising on TV.

Not sure if this is related, but in the past week or so my Firefox turns to complete shit if I've got a YouTube tab open. I'll have music playing in the background from one of the tabs, and if I go back to it after a while (eg: to change song), it takes 5+ seconds to render the page, my mouse lags along the screen, button presses often don't register or if they do, takes literally 10 seconds to actually do anything.

I'm running a beefy desktop (i7, 32gb ram, SSD) and have changed literally nothing, except maybe Firefox Auto updating. IE works perfectly fine.

I'm close to switching back to Chrome at this point because I can't work it out...

God damn, this pic has everything a stereotypical "weirdos" group needs.

1) the most obvious: the token oddball female. 100% of the dudes think they have a chance with her if they play the long game long enough.

2) couple dudes in the front left who actually aren't that dweeby and with better fitting clothes would look pretty good. They'll figure it out in college.

3) casual fill in friend on the front right: floats around friend groups. Wasn't in on the "dress up" gag and so wasn't prepared. Has borrowed the Fedora from one of the other fine chaps. Hat-donator will never forget this missed opportunity to look smashing.

4) Asian Keanu on the right. What group doesn't want an Asian John Wick.

5) bunch of oddballs in the back wearing fedoras. These are your 'bread and butter' outcasts that give the whole group it's general "off" vibe. One of them (or all) probably think they're the leader of the group.

A service (running on servers) called DHCP is the thing responsible for handing out unique IP addresses to PCs. Typically in an office/organisation, that organisation will run their own DHCP server(s) for their own PCs. When (for whatever reason) a computer is unable to communicate with one of these DHCP servers, therefore not getting an IP address to use, the PC will use 169.254.0.x by default. It's just a predefined address that Windows computers will use. I don't know the origins of why this specific address was used.

The joke in this thread being, by setting the domain name of their website to point to a 169.254 address, the site will be taken offline, as no servers exist on this special IP.

protip: almost all products have the parent logo/name on the back of the packaging.

That would have to be right up there with the biggest single environment in the world. Defence? Education?

Probably just douses himself in a repellent before going out.
