…Good god, someone actually called him Clippit. I never thought the day would come

I’m counting that–which means I also have to count Windows 10 IoT, whose support ends in 2032. XP still wins!

His name is Neil!

Windows XP. 2001–2019. If 10 beats that I’ll be impressed

They used to! I actually got the 1TB plan the same year they phased it out. Good timing on my part there. Waste of £70 or whatever it was.

Genuinely confused as to what the use case is for this. Do you put it in your own app / page? Is it for managing features across all your services? Is it just its own features??

If anyone wants a ‘quick’ solution, have a look at ClassicPress which was forked from WordPress a while ago.

NB: it does have a big friendly ‘migrate’ button which works pretty well (in the form of a WordPress plugin). However, expect some of your other plugins not to be compatible.

A phone is also a gadget…?

Any IT admins in the audience: this is what remediation scripts were made for

I don’t have any links to hand, but look into Dynamic DNS. It’s basically a way for your device / router to talk to your domain registrar, and update their DNS records whenever your IP address changes.

Have a look at DuckDNS as a starting point.

I’m not 100% sure off the top of my head, but the end result is that the drive is set to A: rather than B: in Windows. Something to do with the pins on the motherboard specifying the drive order.

And why the floppy drive’s ribbon cable has a little twist in it??

Two options:

• Change the DNS and gateway so they’re pointing to 0.0.0.0
• Give the Windows install a static IP or lease, and block that IP on the router

Maybe there could be some sort of compatibility flag in Firefox which detects non-standard pages designed for Chrome. We could call it… hmm… something like Quirks Mode?

It’s Vista all over again.

And people are learning not to ask where the information came from or to check sources.

Worst of it is, this has been a problem for as long as I can remember, and it’s getting so much worse than ever now

That was a Windows 7 thing - it used to be hosted at https://browserchoice.eu but that’s long gone now.
