no not really cuz if people could send 50mb attachments, some poor 56k user with pop 3 would never be able to download the attachment and wouldnt be able to access their email. i think 1mb is fine

You can download the attachment fine, be it 10 or 50 meg. Should be no problem at all.

1 meg attachment is too limiting - especially in the age of digital pics, which can be between 3 and 8 meg already, if not more.

errr - guess that sorta makes sense.  Maybe go by start date instead of posts?

I'll think of it when I get new ones and if there will be some left after I serve my friends (:

I dunno.  I gave one to a dude who PM'd me and it has not been picked up yet.  I find that pretty odd.  I was hoping he'd enjoy it and use it and give good feedback to the dudes at Gmail, but so far, no joy in mudville.

Maybe he didn't get it?

A couple of days ago I sent 2 invites to my friends and they didn't get them even though I didn't receive any returns. So the next day I sent them their registrations links /cause there's a copy of every invitation you send in your sent mail folder/ over IM and they finally created their accounts.

If he doesn't use the link you can just give it to someone else before it expires /that's after 3 weeks/

I don't know who's next up in the queue, and this thread has gotten too big to go back and check.

Maybe the mods could close this one and start a new one?

I wish I could figure out a good format to help with this kind of thing, but I'm a n00b... :blush:

How does one go about getting in the cue to be given access to the new Gmail accounts? Does anybody have the answer?

I think now the only thing this thread has in common with an actual queue is just the word 'queue' in the title (:

The best way to get an invite is to PM a person that is offering some /like I do when I have any left/

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has its own official Media Creation Tool used for making bootable USB media, there are some popular third-party utilities as well which offer additional options like bypassing system requirements, Microsoft Account creation, and more. One of these is Ventoy, and the software has received its latest update today. In fact, the app actually got a slew of updates over the last couple of days, three version releases in total, to be specific. The first release, version 1.1.13, was pulled as there was some unspecified error in the update, and as such, the corrected version 1.1.14 was pushed out. Following that on very short notice, 1.1.15 was published as well. For those unfamiliar, Ventoy is an open-source utility that lets users create a bootable USB drive once and then simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD, or EFI files onto it without repeatedly formatting the drive. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes, Secure Boot, and a wide range of operating systems, making it one of the most versatile tools in the category. The biggest change in version 1.1.14 is an updated Secure Boot shim file aimed at resolving the UEFI CA 2023 issue, which is basically a compatibility problem that has affected Secure Boot environments on some systems. If you recall, we reported about severe boot issues on HP devices following the release of updated Secure Boot 2023 keys. For anyone who may not be aware, back in early 2024, Microsoft announced that it was updating Secure Boot keys as they were going to become 15 years old in 2026, which is also when they are set to expire. As such, the new 2023 certificates have been rolling out with the newest Windows 11 updates. Updated boot manager and Secure Boot certificates are crucial for protection against malware like bootkits. These are mandatory updates. Alongside that, the VentoyPlugson graphical plugin configurator was updated in sync with the release. The update also introduces a new VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option within the Global Control plugin, giving users more flexibility in managing Secure Boot behavior. Ventoy has also received a fix for a startup issue when Secure Boot was disabled. Microsoft does officially allow users to boot systems without Secure Boot as long as the PC is Secure Boot capable. The full changelog is given below: Update secure boot shim file to solve the UEFI CA 2023 issue. The new release use a new CA, so you need to enroll the new key for the first boot time. VentoyPlugson update synchronously. Global control plugin add a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option. Fix the boot issue when Secure Boot is disabled in the UEFI firmware. You can download the latest version of the app here on Ventoy's official GitHub repo or from Neowin software stories.

      Windows 11 is fine, no issues on any of the machines I've run it on since release. The stricter security requirements are a good thing, sometimes the baseline needs to change and people will winge, but it is what it is. Happened with the move from 9x to NT - broke compatability Happened with XP SP2 when security started to become a serious consideration Certainly happend with Vista that brought in UAC, the concept of not running as admin (something that has been the norm in Linux/Unix from pretty much the start) and a completely new driver stack. Windows 11 will probably get looked back at as the point where even consumer and SMB IT was dragged kicking and screaming into a somewhat secure by default configuration.

      Bluestacks has been emulating Android on Windows for fifteen years. It's janky and riddled with ads though, so WSA looked like it was going to be a huge improvement over the emulator experience. Too bad Microsoft dropped the ball on that.

      The world is larger then your small viewpoint. Plenty of scientists care about this, especially those involved in space.
