c’t-Notfall-Windows für ältere Systeme
Auf meinem PC läuft aus Gründen noch Windows 8.1. Kann ich damit das aktuelle c’t-Notfall-Windows nutzen?
Anyone out there wanting to use #libmagic on #Windows, and finding the situation quite unworkable, this seems like a decent parallel, I'll be taking it for a spin soon. https://github.com/cdgriffith/puremagic (and it's 100% #python !) I also like that you can kinda find polyglots by getting back all the ways a file could match, in confidence order.
I wish I could play Chips Challenge again for #windows. Anyone know of a working online emulator for it?
Here's some more coverage on #Microsoft bringing back #Windows Recall and nothing, absolutely nothing has changed.
#1984 was profoundly ahead of it's time. It had a passage about the party ( the #government ) looking at what people are doing through their #Windows.

I downloaded some software that I need to run and unfortunately it's in BIN format, not an EXE.
I haven't needed to mount an ISO or BIN file in a long time.
I know back in the day (15+ years ago) I used programs like Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools for mounting and or burning stuff like this.
Is there a newer #FOSS program that is recommended for #Windows 10 for mounting? I don't need to burn it.
Nabend liebe Gemeinde,
kennt sich hier jemand mit Passky aus (das kein Schreibfehler, das heißt so)? Kann man dem Passwortmanager vertrauen, ist die Softwarefirma in Ordnung?

There is quite a bit of buzz related to CVE-2025-24054 which covers attackers causing victims to leak NTLM hashes if they open certain files or view certain directories. In short, this forces victims running Windows to make a connection to an attacker controlled SMB share.
Note: A patch was provided by Microsoft on March 11.
If you prevent SMB traffic from leaving your networks then you don't have to worry about this unless the attacker has already setup shop in your network. Like, patch anyway but, IMO, it would be a better use of your time to ensure that outbound SMB is blocked first. Don't forget to account for mobile devices that are off-network.

Back in 2006, when some companies had ancient systems and didn't want to upgrade to Windows XP, they turned to a lesser-known alternative (and no, it wasn't Linux). https://mindsconnected.tech/index.php?showtopic=1106&view=getnewpost #windows #windowsnt #winflp #legacysystems #operatingsystem #os #software #tech
Recently a friend of mine got a new #Windows PC for running #Cubase on it. He installed his previously used software, namely Cubase and #Voxengo audio plugins on the new box.
When he opened a Cubase project he had copied from his old PC, none of the plugins in that project were detected any more. Even though he had them installed. So he had to open the project on the old machine, write all plugin settings down to paper, re-insert the very same plugins on the new machine into the very same project and restore the settings from his notes.
I just copied an #Ardour project from #OSX to #UbuntuStudio #Linux. I use some Windows #Voxengo plugins on Linux via #LinVST, while I use native Voxengo binaries on OS X.
The Ardour project created on OS X plays on Linux out of the box, using all plugins (given they are installed).
Just one of these many details in how your #DAW does certain things.
