      I want to know where you get a “real quantum computer”?

      More clickbait!

      The flaw allows messages to appear as if they are kosher. It does not allow viewing / decrypting existing messages.

      Rather than pause, you can use WuMgr for manual control of updates. Then you never have a pause end when you are not expecting it.

      May 21, 2025 at 3:38 pm in reply to: “kill switches” found in Chinese made power inverters #2775936

      Weird article!
      “kill switches” and “cellular radios” is used interchangeably.
      The “kill switches” are either in the inverters or the batteries, depending on which sentence you read.
      And apparently this allow for “physical destruction of the network”, even though there is no mention of explosive use.
      Anonymous sources are quoted, no actual people.

      Score = clickbait

      Or the 3rd option, do nothing because it already works – it’s only a USB disk and all the work is done in the disk housing, not in Windows.

      May 20, 2025 at 3:53 pm in reply to: Moving fwd, Win 11 Pro,, which is best? Lenovo refurb #2775613

      As W11 Pro is about $60 more than Home, that is a very cheap PC. They manage to do this by using a 2022 vintage processor, but it’s still better than a refurb M720 with a 2018 vintage CPU.

      cheers, Paul

      You use of the term “old Android file” is problematic. We need to know the exact name of the files you can see.

      KeePass (and KP2A) uses the extension KDBX for database files. I would expect your files to be called “Database.kdbx” or “keepass.kdbx”.

      Can you open the Dropbox folder on your PC? How many “KDBX” files do you have?

      When you run KeePass on your PC, what is the location of the database file shown on the unlock screen?

      cheers, Paul

      I don’t think a 256GB disk is big enough. My minimums are 16GB RAM, 500GB disk.

      And having wifi is worthwhile. Gives you options if you move / replace the router. And BT for that new mouse…

      cheers, Paul

      It seems you are using the Dropbox client to transfer the file to your phone and then opening it from there?

      KP2A can open Dropbox files directly rather than transferring the file using the DB client. Have you tried that?

      cheers, Paul

      Try the front USB ports?
      Try another USB device.
