What kind of CPU usage is everyone getting? I was expecting less of load on my CPU, and thinking the GPU would handle it. 

Cannot install either alone or through ODM

Everytime I try to install WindowsBlinds (WB) 8.12 I get a message saying Reboot required - Please reboot to complete the WB uninstall before proceeding with the new installation. the install will now exit.

I do not have any version of WB on my PC. each and every time it does this - very frustrating.

It seems to be loading and installing using ODM but when it says install completed and you press next to go and start the program, there is nothing there but the other stardock app I am using....

Just Memories.

So I set my HP 2-in-1 back to factory settings to resolve a couple of issues and unclutter, speed up my machine with a fresh start. 

No problem, right?  WRONG!!!!!!

After getting started and my desktop up, first thing I wanted to do was set Windows Update to let me choose and download which updates I wanted.  I mean, how hard can that be for MS to understand? 

\Put bluntly, MS didn't give a fech what my preference was/is.  I clicked 'check for updates an...

Object Desktop and Windows 10 : ODN Updates?

$

So I have been subscribing to ODN on a monthly basis, even though it costs more in the long run, it's what I could afford or I should say 'how' I could afford it. I have received the emails saying that the monthly sub will be discontinued as of April 2016.

My question is this : Come April, will programs that have NOT been compatible with Windows 10 be updated or not?

I am referring to

Hey WinCustomize powers that be!

 

I realize I may be about to open a shit storm, believe me, NOT my intent. Rest assured that I'm not picking on anyone, or belittling anyone's work.

 

I am seeing that a large percentage of submissions lately are dreams. Most of which are jpeg animation dreams.

 

I find the jpeg animation dreams to be far inferior to the video and hybrid dreams. I will not download them, usually, and I'm guessing I'm not the ...

Sorry if I hit the wrong key.

 

Fences is a piece of cr*p. It cleared my desktop (and yes I know how it is supposed to be restored. Butnothing!) I can go to the snapshots but they refuse to restore. Keep well away from this junk.

DROWN Attack on TLS/SSL (HTTPS)

DROWN is short for Decrypting RSA with Obsolete and Weakened eNcryption and it depends on a “back door” “EXPORT_GRADE” put into US products by law until 2000.

Supposedly, it would keep our regular communications secure from hackers but accessible to folks like the NSA so they could get a leg up on criminals of all sorts.

So outcomes of EXPORT_GRADE? KIlled sales for US products since foreign companies could produce full strength products. and it left us with weak, now ver...

Okay, I have an Issue With My External HDDs

The title pretty much says what the problem is, and for the most part it isn't an issue.... until I want to use various 3rd party programs to defrag and/or clean up.

For example, the wipe free space in Ccleaner is unavailable, with the select boxes for each HDD greyed out and the drive description being SSD, which it isn't.  The other program I can't use is SmartDefrag.  Again, the select boxes for my HDDs are greyed out, and the drives are recognised as SSDs.

Start menu: explorer.exe - Application Error

The instruction at 0x69045040 referenced memory at 0x69045040. The memory could not be written.

Sorry if this has been mentioned in WB beta thread.

Symptom is what title says. After first start (and restarts if desktop isn't made visible) only mouse cursor is visible. ctrl-shift -esc shows task manager from which I can close WB tasks and run new explorer task after which the desktop appears. Restart after that and everything works again.

 

If I just run explorer from the task manager without killing wb first nothing happens. Next restart I get black screen i.e., identical...

So I just bought Object Desktop thinking that it would give me access to the software for life...

After I enter my downloads it says it expires in 365 days.

Nowhere in the store said that I was buying a suscription to the software, so I´m now requesting a refund and a cancellation for this.

You should really put that somewhere in the store.

Amazon has promised to bring back encryption to FireOS later this month

Amazon had decided to remove data encryption from FireOS, despite it being a very sound security practice. Clearly, if one’s device is hacked, and the thief gets nothing but scrambled data, that’s a more secure practice.

The reason Amazon cited? Very few were using it. That raises another question…how did they know that, I wonder? I guess their OS dials home with “anonymized data”. Maybe.

However, Amazon then found itself in a very awkward position. First, it ran into a fi...

Last week I applied to QLink for a new phone. Its similar to the one I have from Life Link in that it has the same amount of minutes and texts. The differences though are many. The old one is a Kyocera, basically it has a small keyboard below a 2" by 1.5" screen. Easy to send text and make a call. The other one is an HTC phone, a third larger with a touch screen. It has auto-rotate and a camera, I can take pics! Easy to access the internet which the other one can't do but, and here's the...

Not seeing a whole lot reportable in tech at the moment, so…Zika! Don't panic. Please. When I was in Jump School, there was a sign at the gate of the training instruments which read, "Knowledge prevents fear." My response was unprintable, and in a mixture of Hebrew and Arabic.

This is the Zika virus…it’s an RNA virus which doesn’t specifically target any tissue (like brain in developing fetuses), but which is an equal opportunity infection. It isn&rsquo...
