:wacko: really :s ?

Thats a photoshop fake.

I've never seen a laptop keyboard so free of dust and grime lol

Agreed, either that or it's JUST been taken out of the box in some sort of forensics lab :p

To be honest, i've seen brand new OOB keyboards come with a thin film of dust. so either thats a CGI or airbrushed in photoshop :p

soo true, but you know what, as off topic as this is i have to tell you all..lol

There is this "as seen on tv" type product called Cyber Clean, cost like $8 or something. It's similar to the green slime stuff we used to play with as kids, and all you do is press it against your keyboard and it cleans everything from under and around the keys and leaves them nice and shiny.. I was sceptical as hell, but got it as a stocking stuffer for xmas, best gift ever, it works incredibly well. My laptop keyboard was nasty and now it looks brand new.

sry for the off topic-ness..lol

Back to photos...goodcase, LOVE the photos, great lighting and i love the contrast between the room and the girl, great shots.

(without that orange streak on the bottom).. nice pics.

:rofl:

Sorry bubba, nothing personal, just funny thing, we were chatting in IRC, and some guy, can remember the nick said that he should up the contrast from the orange part so it filled the space more and now you're saying it's better without it :p Different tastes for different people I guess :p

well no, he's got a point too, either way could work really, it's just right now the orange because it's so minimal looks out of place, so if it were either all blue or a nice transition gradient from blue to orange would look nice. Neither of which is your fault, that's just how the sky looked..lol

Hehe, no, it's actually the keyboard I've been using for a couple of months now, it's not "clean" but it isn't "dirty" either, Didn't do any sort of airbrushing or anything similar to it, it might just be the dark.

Weyhey, I did it.

I managed to get off my lazy arse and take some photos for my January '10 folder, and in the nick of time too. Been over a month since my last capture (father, lol).

Posted 13 pics (one of which is currently in the Funny 2010 images in the Members Metropolis), here are 6 of em:

Here's a pic I took on m3 3.2MP Cybershot phone back in summer last year:

I was amazed how well it turned out.

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
