- Comment on Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows 1 week ago:
Back in the day, I dinked around with the Windows registry, and found one value under the Recycle Bin CLSID key that you can change a couple of flag bits, to enable Rename and even Delete in the right click context menu of the Recycle Bin, and both actually work LOL!
Once the Recycle Bin is deleted though, it doesn’t just stop working, it just disappears from the Desktop, and can only be restored in another area of the registry under the Desktop NameSpace key by adding the Recycle Bin CLSID back.
Definitely not safe, so very understandable that Microsoft (before the slop era of course) would disable deletion of the Recycle Bin. I have no idea why they’d also disable the ability to Rename the Recycle Bin though, I’d always enable that flag bit, so I could rename it to Shit Can Hahaha!

Ah, so Windows 95 is still safe? 👍
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows 1 week ago:
Class Identifier {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} (Recycle Bin) did not appear until Windows 95. I’m pretty sure they should be referring specifically to Windows 11, as it’s still receiving updates.
All seriousness aside, let me inform you that if you install any variation of the Calmira Shell in Windows 3.11, and indeed it does actually come with an equivalent Recycle Bin functionality, though it wasn’t programmed by M$, so you should be safe 👍
Anyways, M$ seems to have shot themselves in both feet in recent years, so I recommend you throw Windows into the Trash (don’t recycle), and install Linux instead…

Older Americans also be like “You should get a job”
Then when you offer to cut their grass or clean their house, they’re like “I have a robot lawnmower and a robot vacuum cleaner, I don’t need your services”

WAV audio is damn near the absolute simplest audio format, and it came out in August 1991. So I guess congrats to the programmers like they’re five for adding support for what’s effectively sending an array of raw sample values to the sound driver.

WAV audio only came out 33 years ago, about fucking time…

I worked for hotel owners with their own high tech theater upstairs. They had everything, it was wicked cool!
They had everything, except Blu-Ray. They had DVDs and streaming.
- Comment on DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again 1 year ago:
I’m very familiar with the technology, the discs indeed are a slightly different color, and the drives have an entirely separate extra lens and laser assembly to read them.
And BTW, DVD-R is purple.

Years ago, for a while I had an external Blu-Ray drive, but I’ve never seen an actual Blu-Ray disc in my life.

Yeah, I don’t think there are many models of phones with proprietary antennas, but there are, or at least were a couple models.

Antennas are proprietary to different networks.

- Comment on FCC Eyes Making Carriers Unlock All Phones Within 60 Days Of Purchase 1 year ago:
It’s been a number of years since I last regularly worked in cell phone repair, but some models of phones were physically made in different varieties with different antennas for different networks.
It wasn’t even possible to ‘unlock’ those phones for other networks, short of replacing the logic board and antennas.
