How? Was looking for a way to adjust the Windows wallpaper directory, actually, and just happened to find an answer in a thread from this forum. Haha.

Why? Hell if I know. Boredom, I suppose. Seems like a decent (if not more than that) forum, and I could always use a good forum to give me a new crowd to interact with, so I figured I may as well join.

HI

I've been a long-time guest... been using the odd XP tweaks and customization stuff. About a year ago I made the move over to LinuxMint and today on the Distrowatch I saw Shift... it's busy downloading as write this. I've finally found a home for my 'parasite' pc and customizing blog. It's not there yet... let me get into Shifting first! I'll keep you updated...

HI,

i've also been a guest for bout 6 months, but as i'm currenty doing an internship, and just sitting infront of an computer with nothin else to do besides reading posts here, i finally decided to register myself, to escape the boredom of this bureau^^

i don't exactly remember how i found this site, but i think i was havin some probs with my XP so i googled it, and here i am ;)

I guess I don't remember, I think a friend hooked me up with it when I was looking for some sort of information on something. Maybe visual styles or graphic stuff/ web development.

It won't let me view my first first post... probably deleted it was so long ago. Now I mostly just peruzz and read through some stuff.

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
