In reply to patabugen. i have the script in my windows startup folder. you can open this quickly by holding WIN+R, then typing `shell:startup` and enter. copy your script into the folder that opens. autohotkey scripts keep running automatically. you should see a task tray icon for the running script.

Super clear write up, thanks!

I’m new to AutoHotKey and like your AHK script for this – how do you have a script running constantly?

In reply to zombie. Hi zombie, I do not use BS Player anymore, and all the build files are on an old laptop (now gone). There are instructions above if you want to build yourself. I have no idea when I will have time to run a build myself, sorry!

Comment on Hello Firefox 57 (Quantum) !!! … well this is bullshit. by Chau Tran

Firefox and Chrome ‘jumped the shark’ one time too many over a year ago. I ditched them both from my XP Pro, and upon install of MX Linux on my secondary HDD, the same fate awaits. I’ve moved on to Waterfox, Ungoogled Chrome, Slimjet, Mypal, and Basilisk. THE only thing that kept me with Firefox was the add-ons, and all can see just where Mozilla Mothership is heading with them. Time to euthanize both browsers I say. Them that continue to hang on are like battered wives that continue to return to hubby for more abuse.

In reply to Nomo Bo. I am not a big fan of mail clients generally, but have you tried the default "Mail" app? Seems lightweight, however I only use it to display notifications from my google calendar

And it still doesn’t have an email client like WLM other than Outlook sludgeware.

Couldn’t agree more. Windows 10 here has two persistent problems. One is it’s agonizingly SLOW. The second is that sound goes away frquently. Any time I want sound, I can count on havint to rebootstrap, then, go to lunch while Windows 10 struggles it’s way back to life. I hate Microshit.

In reply to l z. Yeah, I've given up updating as I uninstalled BSPlayer when they advised to move to bPlayer. Having said that bPlayer has bugs that are not getting fixed and are not present in BSPlayer - so I may have to revert back!

Been with Microsoft since MS Dos 4. Windows 10 has convinced me it’s time to say goodbye.
Goodbye Microsoft.

We still running Windows 7 on our business machines. I run a tax accounting practice and we simply cannot afford to spend everyday fucking around with MS Spyware ver 10. Fuck them I’ll switch to MacOS or Linux if we ever have to change. We will will never use Windows10!

I have not seen a new install of W10 successfully complete installation of all recommended updates on its first couple tries, let alone its first try.. When it comes to leaving open windows of insecurity for malicious attackers andor automated attacks which exploit any one of the smorgasbord of tried and true vulnerabilities during the window of time between connecting to the internet and completing all the needed patches: Windows might as well be named Backdoors

Updates CAN be deployed offline, from an external source, and things can probably be made to be just as good and better than W7. Even today, I recommend Windows 7, it can be bought cheap with OEM codes and its gives you much less to worry about than W10, especially where security and privacy are concerned.. at least so it seems!

nice blog btw C:

OK, some good news. No BSODing since I posted this article. The only thing I did was run the following:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:myReimageUSB\boot.wim

It completed and gave no indication that it had made any changes, but have had no BSOD in 2 days. KEEP GOING!

Nice. Thanks for sharing this. The wp-cli install worked. Not sure how the tab completion works just yet but I imagine it worked too.

My thoughts exactly. (Found your rant by googling: fucking bullshit quantum firefox assholes) Sharing to twitter has been nullified – because, social media sharing is SO yesterday. I’ve searched for a fix but found no help – and of course, no replies to my emails.
