I suggest spitting to lose weight

I wouldn’t be able to tell you more than it’s an updated version with some new features added…

According to Wikipedia:

Windows 98 Second Edition (often shortened to Windows 98 SE and sometimes to Win98 SE or 98 SE)[76] is an updated version of Windows 98 released on June 10, 1999, about eight months before the release of the business-oriented Windows 2000.[77] It includes many bug fixes,[78] improved WDM audio and modem support, improved USB support,[76] added SSE2 support, the replacement of Internet Explorer 4.0 with Internet Explorer 5.0,[78] Web Folders (WebDAV namespace extension for Windows Explorer),[79] and related shell updates. Also included is basic OHCI-compliant FireWire DV camcorder support (MSDV class driver) and SBP-2 support for mass storage class devices.[80] Wake-On-LAN reenables suspended networked computers due to network activity, and Internet Connection Sharing allows multiple networked client computers to share an Internet connection via a single host computer.[78]

Other features in the update include DirectX 6.1 which introduced major improvements to DirectSound and the introduction of DirectMusic,[78] improvements to Asynchronous Transfer Mode support (IP/ATM, PPP/ATM and WinSock 2/ATM support), Windows Media Player 6.1 replacing the older Media Player 4.1,[76] Microsoft NetMeeting 3.0,[81] MDAC 2.1 and WMI. A memory overflow issue was resolved in which earlier versions of Windows 98 would crash most systems if left running for 49.7 days (equal to 232 milliseconds); this bug was also present on its predecessor, Windows 95.[82] Windows 98 SE could be obtained as retail upgrade and full version packages, as well as OEM and a Second Edition Updates Disc for existing Windows 98 users. USB audio device class support is present from Windows 98 SE onwards. Windows 98 Second Edition improved WDM support in general for all devices, and it introduced support for WDM for modems (and therefore USB modems and virtual COM ports). However, Microsoft driver support for both USB printers and USB mass-storage device class is not available for Windows 98.

Removed features

The Active Channels Channel bar from the original release of Windows 98 is not installed upon first boot, however it is retained when upgrading from the original release of Windows 98 to Windows 98 Second Edition.

Windows 98 Second Edition did not ship with the WinG API or RealPlayer 4.0, unlike the original release of Windows 98, due to both of these having been superseded by DirectX and Windows Media Player, respectively. On the other hand, ActiveMovie still exists in Windows 98 Second Edition despite having been superseded by Windows Media Player.

The original 98 or would you like to try 98SE?

I remember often getting GPT-2 to act like this back in the “TalkToTransformer” days before ChatGPT etc. The model wasn’t configured for chat conversations but rather just continuing the input text, so it was easy to give it a starting point on deep water and let it descend from there.

So far I’m satisfied with our GL.INET Flint 2 (GL-MT6000). The price is within your range, and you can buy it directly from the manufacturer. It comes with OpenWRT and they’ve made it pretty easy to e.g. run your own wireguard VPN and AdGuard Home (like PiHole) for all your connected devices. The coverage is decent, and upgrading gave me WiFi in the second bathroom where the old router (10+ years old) could never reach. According to their own specs it has Wi-Fi speeds of 1148Mbps (2.4GHz) and 4804Mbps (5GHz), though I haven’t made my own measurings to verify those, and VPN speeds are lower at 190Mbps wired for OpenVPN and 900Mbps wired for Wireguard. At least this router has been very stable for the half year we’ve had it, and I haven’t experienced any bottlenecks from our modest usage.

Wer ist der Otto?

If they don’t, you’ll have to use something like an external RTL-SDR dongle and a USB OTG adapter…

Not a universal solution for Android, but maybe it could lead your thoughts toward something useful. I know that Kodi has a toggle in the settings to stop that from happening. It works by constantly playing an inaudible low-frequency noise. Kodi runs on pretty much any OS, including Android, but since it’s HTPC software, the UX is not optimal on a small touchscreen in my experience, though there are some skins and/or skin settings to optimise the UI for touch-based navigation.

What if they always decline cookies? Or is this cookie one of those necessary ones?

I have the menu in GrapheneOS’s settings on a Pixel 7 Pro.

My cycle count is 590, but I’d like to know if that number includes the previous owner’s usage on the stock OS from before I installed GrapheneOS right after I bought it second-hand. Got a clue?

A quick search lead me to these sites, which I guess will do the job, but I haven’t verified if they’re working or not. It seems at least some of them will add some public trackers to the magnet link, but, with DHT enabled in the client, I think it could also work without adding those.

Does this mean the US doesn’t have powerbanks with e.g. 30000 mAh capacity?

Lenovo ThinkPads used to do that, but you had to know the system.

T580 as an example:

• T is the series
• 5 indicates 1[5]" screen size
• 8 indicates the year 201[8]
• 0 doesn’t really mean anything

So a T490 would be 14" and from 2019.

Though, I’m unsure of their naming scheme for newer models like T14 or T15. I think the 14 or 15 just tells the screen size, and then they add a “Gen 2”, “Gen 3” etc. to indicate the age.

I think it has access through the system filepicker app, and I’m pretty sure that means it will only temporarily be granted access to read just the file you pick. You, the user, can see and select any and all the files on the screen, but in this case, the app that requested the file access can’t see the content of the filepicker app’s UI - if I’m not totally mistaken.

If someone can confirm this, please do!

Thanks for pointing out these changes. I’m curious, which plugins are you fond of?

Some files on Plasma Bigscreen’s Gitlab were updated 2-3 days ago, so I think it’s still being maintained.

On the other hand, the Emulationstation website reads:

This website is for the original EmulationStation, last updated in 2015!

Without having tried it, I think ES-DE may be a better choice nowadays, since that one seems to be maintained.

RetroDECK bundles ES-DE with relevant tools and emulators if you want to use it for emulation of games.

That looks interesting for my upcoming HTPC upgrade. Thanks for sharing.

How do you edit anything with that App Manager app? I can see them listed for each app on their respective tabs, but nothing happens when I tap or hold any of them.

It’s Nopen Source
