Sometimes I do wonder what happened that made the US take so long to switch to chip-based cards, really.
Typically when I hear the beeping of doom, I just take out the CMOS battery and put it back in :PI'm starting to wonder if our old desktop is starting to have more hardware fail. In the past few days, the desktop has BSOD'd 4 times, and I can't seem to debug it for some reason, and from time to time after rebooting all I get is a beep code, which usually is just it wanting me to reseat the RAM. I tried that today and got it to work, but I'm not sure if it'll BSOD again or not...
Fortunately for me, the POP3 access still works :)Now you can use the "You've got mail" sound effect from the 90s and it'll actually be accurate! xD
Outlook 2013 is actually what I use for my email. I find it's much better to use than the default Windows 8.1 email app, and of course I'm not sure if I'd be able to run Windows Live Mail either.That's always good. I'd rather use my own client, but Outlook isn't terrible.
Dang, that's really impressive. Hardware that old usually doesn't work too well anymore unless it's very well taken care of.
So I had to reinstall Windows 10 on my laptop today, but it's really interesting how MSI does it. MSI has a hidden partition with a recovery application on it, and when it's run, it formats the partition Windows 10 is installed on, then FLASHES a copy of a pre-set up OEM copy of Windows 10 to the partition, then reboots the system. It basically installs Windows 10, fully, in less than 20 minutes. It's really interesting how it does that.
I also installed Windows 7 on another partition so that I could have that freedom, and it's going well, although it's breaking on me slowly. I had Windows Update working earlier, but it's not able to grab updates anymore and just gets stuck. I'm not sure what's going on...
Just some Pokémon merch, go figure :POh nice, what did you get?
