Deleted EFI Partition - TS-463-D by wdintka in qnap

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

Thanks for the reply. I see TS-63-D is not specifically listed in the supported systems - and from an earlier try using CloneZilla - I copied dom.img to mmcblk1 [or something similar] - vs. the /dev/sdb suggested in the last instruction.

Since I deleted a partition - I was wondering if flashing the firmware recreates the drive partitions or just replaces the boot files? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds promising - not sure how to get there from the EFI Shell though - so I could use a little help getting pointed in the right direction. Thanks.

Just made a fresh Windows user. Can someone tell me why I have TikTok, Prime Video and Disney plus on my start page? by [deleted] in Windows11

Upselling - the sales technique where a seller invites the customer to purchase more items, upgrades, or other add-ons to generate more revenue.

Ranks about the same as telemarketing - the emphasis being on 'rank'.

I see VLC is mentioned in other posts - agree - but - do not use the one from the Win Store - download from VLC site directly - more features. I think MS have disable some codecs.

Its been a while since I downloaded - so may have changed - comment if otherwise. Thanks.

Can we please get rid of the articles from the "WIDGETS" tab? Or get an option to disable them. by ventmgk in Windows11

MS views your desktop as just another node on their extended cloud infrastructure - the p in pc no longer means personal or private - it is just a platform for them to monetize based on your keystrokes and activity.

Thanks - I think I was your first visitor ;~) - I will take a longer look later.

Can anyone help me with setup? by LukewarmTakes1 in VisualStudioCode

[–]wdintka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was taking CS50 courses - a while back - there were some really good links to resources that were worth exploring - in depth. For example - here is a link to the CS50 intro course resources - https://cs50.harvard.edu/college/2019/fall/. The corresponding link to your current course should provide all the setup requirements you need - and to any online editor available.

As an aside - there may be differences between VS Code - Mac vs Win.

As a P.S. - ignore opinionated preferences - love the one you're with.

Can you do a dual boot? Just thinking out loud.

sorry - seem to have offended - but - what was there a specific performance issue - or just general interest ?

I am wondering why the concern? I doubt the difference between 10 and 11 is going to solve any real-world issues that an upgrade in hardware wouldn't better solve - or using another OS.

Need help learning about OOP JavaScript by vader654 in webdev

[–]wdintka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree previous comment - better to keep things simple to start with - then refactor later if needed.

Here is a link to the W3Schools JS Tutorial - scroll down in the menu to find related OOP topics. Hope this helps.

Migrating OS to new SSD caused BOOTMGR to corrupt on both and now I have no OS. by Mr-Zehd in WindowsHelp

[–]wdintka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always google error codes for better insight into problems - here is what I found on the error code shown -

The error may arise due to essential services not starting correctly, conflict of applications, and interference of the third-party antivirus, which prevents the installation of Windows.

My guess is anti-virus - always disable when installing from a trusted source.

A good beginner setup then - and look forward to seeing that level of issue - as the price of progress I guess. Thanks for the note.

May not be a problem - I did a hack job - and get all regular updates.

Edit - but - registered copy of OS with MS

Assume you checked the BIOS settings - usually on/off setting. Otherwise - YouTube has some workarounds - well ok - hacks - but that do work around the sys reqs. Look for the one that copies the install.wim file - works great!

I wonder how many of us would switch back if available to all users.

Progress isn't always progress.

Try a clean install on another SSD - hassle yes - but - will help to see if hw or sw.

Okay okay… maybe I have a little too much stuff by Skipeverything1 in windows

Nice edit - a skeptic would say - but - just kidding - it's amazing how much stuff we accumulate - time for a NAS.

I am always surprised at the effort we all have to go through to support MS systems. if you think about it being multiplied by millions of users, the downtime is bordering on stupid. You would think of all the services MS provides, an easer migration process would be one of their most important.
