Anyone whose ever had a blog here read please!


Recommended Posts

I sorta used the blog here but it's something I can easily continue off-site if I wanted to.

In fact if I wrote things people actually wanted to read I'd probably design my own. But it's just the amount of effort required building it. :rofl:

Yeah all the images from my blog are dead now...so its probably for the best it just dies

I'm damn glad I never invested any effort into that thing.

Also, how do you download the content and say... the comments etc?

I know probably anyone who used the feature is going to be able to just print to pdf all those sites, but I assume it'd be nice to know that other features, that won't get dropped but can use some data download-capability (*COUGH* PMs *cough*), could use a pack + download feature.

Well all the content belongs to Neowin, so I guess they can do what they want with it. It'd be a goodwill gesture if anything to allow people to download the content, but I don't want anything I've put on there saved. :laugh:

It's ironic because I only learned about this when Xinok and S_Herbie blogged about it. That sucks.

I guess I'll move those entries to http://zeckul.wordpress.com/ .

Your posts were great, but nobody else utilized the blogs like you did. I just hope you have another outlet ... one that I could subscribe to? :blush:

If I keep blogging it'll probably be at http://zeckul.wordpress.com/ , where I already have a few entries. Thanks for your interest, you made some very interesting entries as well!

Yeah, Wordpress.com is fantastic for blogging, I find it far superior to Blogger in almost every way, and the choice of designs available really supplement that fact. I'd recommend (if I haven't already) to anyone who used to use the blog feature to head over there, and if you want to show it off to Neowin members, link it in your signature. As long as you don't cross post stuff to the forums as excerpts with links, then it's all good.

    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.

    • Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
