AskWoody LoungerIf that database hasn’t been hacked (yet), it’s probably the last one, that hasn’t!?
You’re better off pretending your data is out there and act accordingly…

Erhm… sorry, buddy. Not here!
(Still) using it on the android tablet and it’s the dumbest thing, I’ve ever come across…
And on pc? Looking forward to be in the exclusive little 1% club clinging on to IE11! 😀

AskWoody LoungerOctober 30, 2018 at 5:32 pm in reply to: Microsoft fixes the Zip file mess-up in the (beta version of) Win10 1809 #228293We fixed the issue where dragging (extracting) files from a .zip file in File Explorer to a write-protected location you don’t get a “Do you want to replace these files” prompt and the copy action fails silently.
Erhh… what?
I’m missing something here, why should I get that message when dropping a file on a write-protected location? And of course the copy action will fail?!
Why can’t I even read a clear text anymore??

AskWoody LoungerYes, part of the GDPR is that user data must be stored “locally” to EU.
If I open my kitchen window, I can nearly spit to the new facebook data center about to be built here…
Not at all complaining about those builds as they bring both cash and jobs to Denmark, but the multi-billion dollars investments for sure indicates how much is being cashed in on the users…
Alas not on me, as I’m not a member of any of them…
/edit: thanks for mentioning startpage.com. Will have a look and see, how it compares to my favorite duckduckgo.com!

But.. but… they have!
You even posted about it! The new Surface Pro! Taa-daah!
Time long overdue for upgrading such an old system… it’s lived through six or seven full OS versions, for crying out loud!
Out of warranty, out of support, out. Keep up! QIQO…

“These scraps of data, each one harmless enough on its own, are carefully assembled, synthesized, traded and sold. Taken to its extreme, this process creates an enduring digital profile and lets companies know you better than you know yourself.”
Funny he should say that while apple right now is busy building their second gigantic data center here in tiny Denmark…

AskWoody LoungerOctober 24, 2018 at 12:34 pm in reply to: Microsoft admits to Zip file wiping bug and fixes it — but not for Win10 1809 customers #226768Interesting, because Microsoft fixed the bug in the next-next version of Windows, 19H1, in build 18262…
Yeah, well… they probably put all hopes on that edition…

Ha! Microsoft’s done that for describing patches for years!

AskWoody LoungerOctober 21, 2018 at 9:42 am in reply to: Another reported file wiping problem with Win10 1809 #225967If Microsoft were making cars… there wouldn’t be an end of lawsuits rolling in.
Now it’s only software and apparently anything goes. Release the c***.
Like MS suggested in a blog post: in case of a problem, just roll back to previous version. The time you waste doesn’t matter. Neither does any loss of data, lack of functionality or other bugs…
If it was any fun, we could call it a joke.
But it’s not even remotely fun. It’s a joke.
