WMI was introduced in XP (I think? Was it later?) and asking WMI for the version string was pretty common.

The reason there isn’t a Windows 9 is because there was a common test for windows versions that went something like this:

std::string winVer = getWinVerStr();
if (winVer.find(“Windows 9”) != -1)
{
    // This is windows 95 or 98
}

A good chunk of older programs would likely have issues.

There was no need to produce the items in question, so we lost the expertise and the underlying manufacturing facilities/experience/etc. Stuff like: The company that made the windows no longer exists. The company that made the panels still exists, but they can no longer source the strictly defined % alloys as that company no longer exists. Stuff like that.

Similar experience. I doubled down by playing volleyball afterwards. The bruise was practically from wrist to shoulder.

He was most certainly being sarcastic.

I think the “joke” (quotation marks are working extra hard here) is that anti-theists want to get rid of all religion, so they’re rooting for the Christians eradicating a bunch of religions.

It’s likely a misrepresentation of antitheism, but edge lords be edge lords.

Spreadsheets you say?

https://www.prosperousuniverse.com . It’s not P2W, but does have a (non-auto-recurring) subscription if you want to progress past 6 planets or direct contract with others

If it’s at an Internet cafe where everyone is in attendance, I seriously strongly suggest “The Ship”. In my experience, probably the ultimate LAN game. Screen peeking allowed but not encouraged.

The game is effectively a game of assassin—but you have to upkeep your player’s needs (food/water/shower/bathroom/sleep). Your character needing to take a shit is stressful—very often you begin the process only to have your murderer pop open the door with a fire axe.

It used to have a “viral” gift copy thing on Steam where 1 purchased copy generated 2 gift copies and those copies generated 1 copy each. So in theory, you could only require 3 copies for 15 of you if that’s still active.

Eh, 30% in a parliamentary system is effectively the majority.

We need a ShitRimWorldSays community on Lemmy stat.

I don’t (generally) sail the high seas, but I’m surprised that people don’t use SysInternals tooling on windows. Of note:

  • ProcExp - A way better process explorer and has a built-in VirusTotal scanner for all running processes. 100 times better than standard process explorer. This in combination with windows defender is nearly always enough.

  • AutoRuns - A tool to see what automatically runs on your system. Included image hijacks and such. This is for handling potential post-infection scenarios.
