AskWoody PlusSeptember 14, 2023 at 8:32 am in reply to: End of servicing plan for third-party printer drivers on Windows #2587323Internet Printing Protocol drivers ? I remember (vaguely) some MS printer driver that used to show up and mess with printing. ‘W’ something. See no sign of it in my current install. Is this the same thing??

AskWoody PlusAnd yes, we have an ancient box of carbon paper still in our office.
Old. Dried out. Probably should throw it away.
No No
Is it museum quality??🍻

AskWoody PlusIncandescent light bulbs,
No no still need them. LEDS just not there yet. Waiting for a 150 Watt equivalent that fits in a regular lamp socket. Still not finding a 300 watt equivalent torchiere floor lamp that suits me.

AskWoody PlusYou wanted a burner phone I lust for a phone burner. One I can use to incinerate the phone at the other end of spam calls. Especially the Spokane WA one shown as 509-202-xxxx (i exed out the last 4)

AskWoody PlusDoes it show in WUMgr? Is it hidden?
Nope and nope. That is why I am confused. (Ok maybe can’t wholly blame that)

AskWoody PlusIn addition, some streaming services are now eye-dropping series episodes one per week, just like in the old days. We watched “Hijack” on AppleTV+, and had to wait a week for each new episode. Makes it harder on viewers if it’s a complex plot, as seven days later you won’t necessarily remember who’s who, or what happened when.
We were sharper back then. 😁
But yeah I agree, watching Lioness and forgot they were doing that. I would have waited a few weeks to get a buffer. And Prime now pushes FreeV which has ads. 😫

AskWoody PlusAugust 28, 2023 at 6:24 pm in reply to: SMB security changes in Windows 11 might affect your NAS, too #2584136SMB 3.0.2
SMB 3.0.2 (known as 3.02 at the time) was introduced with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2;[49][50] in those and later releases, the earlier SMB version 1 can be optionally disabled to increase security.[51][52]
It seems like we have a newer version but of course as far as I can tell we still need SMB1 for file sharing and for access ing my router connected USB drive. 17 years since SMB 2 was released and vendors took how long to utilize it??

AskWoody PlusAugust 28, 2023 at 5:51 pm in reply to: Is there a shortcut to get to top of Navigation Panel where Quick Access is? #2584125I experimented with setting a shortcut for the Quick Access icon that is on my Desktop. (I right-clicked on the Quick Access icon on my Desktop, clicked on Properties in the context menu, and then set a short-cut key, which is automatically prefaced with CTL-ALT.)
How did you get the Quickaccess shortcut anyhow??

AskWoody PlusNever install drivers offered by Microsoft update.
Go to OEM for drivers.I generally don’t but the MS one ‘looks’ newer. I may try the Brother stand alone driver package rather than the ‘full’
