This car thing sounds nice!  Maybe I should get one someday?

Oh, wait... That was Rain.  Nevermind! ?

Still miss Jan...  (Old55)

Why am I visualizing a pair of fuzzy white dice hanging from that??? ?

Technically, I don't work for anyone but myself.

Ha!  You can't fool us Bob!  We know you're married! ?

Just to be safe, I'd wear a condiment if I were you!

I like that.

However, I'll make an exception with my career though.  But then, I also really enjoy what I do for a living.

In other areas that feel more like "jobs" than fun, it was always:

"You spend the first half of your career trying to become the person a company can't do without!  Then you spend the second half of your career trying to lose that designation!"  ?

Not that I'm against the use of anti-malware software, but IME, measures taken to combat malware have done worse harm to the end user experience than actual malware.

I'm ever fascinated by the fear of something causing more damage than the thing itself.

And, most of us old nerds know, many of the old computer viruses probably originated with the anti-virus companies!

That would be me. I know about a lot of things, but the only coding I've ever done is the simplest, BASIC and HTML. In other word, baby steps. I leave the rest to the experts and don't believe everything I read on the web.

 

Yes! ?

I'm still SMH over this!  Any data that can be used as an input (especially user-entered data) needs to be checked!  A .sys file completely filled with zeros should have been an easy test... 

Time to go back to this maybe? ?

Actually, there were some versions of Sonivox plugins that included a version of iLok that installed as a boot driver that was absolutely not compatible with Windows 10, yet merrily installed it on Windows 10 anyway.   It installed even if there was a later version of iLok already installed.

Problem was, that version of the iLok driver bricked your Windows 10 PC.  End result, BSOD - even in safe mode. 

The only solution, in that case, was to side boot from a recovery CD to set the “TKPD.sys” driver in your Windows 10 partition to “disabled” rather than “Boot”. 

If you didn't know how to do that, then it was a complete fresh Windows reinstall (upgrade install would not have been enough)

Fortunately when this happened to me, I was able to recover using the side boot from a recovery CD method to get back up and running.

Never have to deal with negative numbers either!

I only trust Kelvin.

I'm going to watch this one later today...

There's nothing wrong with watching TV. It's a great escape.

And yet, therein lies the problem!  I'm going to be creating shirts with my favorite mantra on it which is this: "Moderation in everything except moderation!"

While it can be a great escape, too much of it detaches one from reality and we end up with the clown world we currently have because everyone is distracted.

Apparently Ed, we ticked off someone I'd never heard of before and a couple of our posts are now gone with the thread they were in locked down!

Oh, well.  ?‍♂️

Can you get a more suspicious name than "Trusted Installer?" ?

Ironically, when I'm accused of wielding a Dad joke, I reply with I can't because I'm neither apparent nor transparent! ?
