web page archive gone?
Archive.li, archive.ph, archive.on, archive.fo, archive.md, and archive.today are all down. Anybody know what's up?
Saw that today. Went to ton.org & got the impression it's all about the crpyto. I'd love to have bookmarks in telegram, though.
Wow! Thanks!
I've just installed it on both devices. Thanks!
Ooooh, I didn't know about that. Thanks!
I disabled antivirus, tried again, and was told W11 home was already permanently activated. No upgrade-to-pro option. Oh, well.
Thanks. I've done the iTunes thing & find it cumbersome. Remote-sharing apps require that the OS permit remote sharing. W11 home version doesn't.
Thanks. That works. Just looking for something a little less cumbersome.
Thanks. Done that. Trying to do it without the cable.
I tried MAS & got this error msg. Maybe I'll go offline, turn off antivirus, & try again. If I understand correctly, no remote-control apps will work unless that's enabled in Windows.
Yes. I've used all of them, back to XP, & before that, MS-DOS. I bought a new computer a couple of years ago, & W11 came with it.
One of these days... I like my apps. I understand there aren't as many available for Linux.
upgrade windows home to windows pro
Ahoy! I want to share files between iphone & pc. I just discovered that W11 home edition doesn't allow remote access. Microsoft wants $99USD to upgrade to pro. Does anyone know of alternative means? Thanks.
thanks
thanks
Found it. https://sci-hub.se/ Get link from JSTOR, then paste it into sci-hub. Startpage/Google/Bing/Yahoo weren't any help. Yandex came through.
I know.
I didn't do it. When I got to the recommended site for a pre-paid online card, I realized I'd have to provide bank info to yet another online site. I'm trying very hard not to do that. If there's a particular performance you're looking for, try a search engine, using composer, performer, and date. I often find Yandex is more useful than Google/Bing/Yahoo in finding videos of classical music. People post classical performance videos on VK and on disk space that comes with Yandex mail & VK mail. Western DRM doesn't get checked as often there.
JSTOR downloads
I want to download an article from JSTOR without paying $34. It's from 1958. That's outrageous.
Aside from wanting just text on my screen, without all the visual clutter, I want to be able to highlight & look up or translate. They've messed click-&-drag copying. If you try to copy a block of text, you don't get the 1st and last few characters from each line. If you highlight a word or 2 to look up or translate, you don't get all the characters you highlighted but you do get some you didn't want. Also, I like being able to highlight a PDF I own.
Didn't JSTOR used to give a couple of freebies/month or something like that?
Thanks.
Maybe all hierarchies are unjustifiable.
Problem solved by DVDShrink. Thanks, everyone.
I'm sure you're more technically knowledgeable than I am b/c most people here are. But I tell you for sure though that my copying the contents of a DVD to PC using File Explorer resulted in an unplayable DVD twice. It's fixable. I'm bookmarking this in case I forget what a mess this causes and do it again. I'd be interested to know the result if you try it to prove me wrong.
I went to the webpage. It says MKV makes ISO backups, so I remembered wrong. In the forum, somebody said they used DVDShrink to make an ISO. I downloaded DVDShrink and ran its media player, which was able to read the corrupted disk. After playing it in DVDShrink, VLC and Pot Player were able to play it, too. Now the first thing on the screen is the DRM warning, which didn't come up before. Now the DVD is playable and backed up to PC. If you hadn't been adamant about MKV backups, I'd still have a problem. So TYVM!
Help with DVD problem, please.
I got a DVD, never used with cellophane intact, produced in 1993 on ebay. I thought maybe, since I didn't get a DRM warning, it predated DRM, and I could just copy it to my hard drive, so I did. Both the copy and the DVD are now corrupted and unplayable. I want to fix the DVD then rip it to my hard drive. Googling gives plenty of suggestions for ripping but none for fixing. Please help if you can. Thanks.
New anti-VPN measures at BBC
Today, for the first time, I couldn't use iplayer. As usual, I switched country to UK, cleared browsing data, deleted everything from temp app data file before going there. Was using Firefox. Tried same procedure with Epic browser. Same result. Chatted with Nord support. They wanted screenshots of results from dnsleaktest dot com. Tech said wait while they checked it out. After a little while, chat terminated. Created a ticket via email.
Have BBC finally made themselves bullet-proof?
Does anybody know of a way past their paywall? thanks.

really strong crow
I knew they were smart. I didn't know they were this strong.
Is this true?
Hello, smart people. Filling out an online form to volunteer for something, Firefox's Facebook-fence icon appeared on the email field. Confused, I clicked on its question mark. On the next page, Mozilla wanted to sell me Firefox relay for $7/mo. (That's their VPN + email masking + phone masking.) I used my yandex.ru email address instead for $0. Here's the question: is Facebook really able to track me because I've signed up to volunteer for Cornel West (setting aside the FB-Russia blockage issue)? Thanks.

Is it possible to turn off comments on a post? Thanks. ed: to clarify, I'd like to share 2 sites, one is ISW's interactive map and the other is to online antifa news from Crimea. I just want to put it out there without name calling. Mute isn't what I'm after.
