This is specifically for compressing JPEG (lossy) with an extra layer of lossless compression to bring file sizes down further. It would only be useful if you have a large collection of JPEG images to archive and not enough disk space. In my own quickie test:
Source image was 2560x1440 TGA at 32MB
PNG (lossless, level 9) took that down to 6,912KB WebP (lossless) took it down to 5,868KB JPEG (lossy, quality 100) took it down to 3,402KB JPEG (lossy, quality 95) took it down to 1,995KB
They are claiming a 22% further reduction in file size on JPEG, so it should be roughly reductions to 2,654KB and 1,557KB for the above two JPEGs respectively. Not a whole lot individually, but it can add up if you're storing a lot of JPEG images.
Still, it's based on a lossy compression method so I don't have any real interest in it. WebP lossless (and PNG when absolutely needed for compatibility) is my preferred format.
That's the part that confused me. I am pretty sure a single 18650, such as those used in my flashlights, isn't enough to power a bike for 45 kilometres.
Wow, there really is a place in Kansas called "Cowskin Creek". I had to look it up because I wasn't sure if you made it up, but yeah, you guys are some real hicks over there in tornado alley.
I am sure that they will. The same probably applies to all of the software that blocks the Windows 10 spyware, nagware and adware stuff too. It's going to be a constant battle trying to use Windows going forward.
I do use a Linux distro (Korora) on my computers and I'm weaning myself from Windows. I still need Windows for a few programs, mostly for 3D modelling and audio work, but I've found replacements for most of the audio stuff. I'm not too interested in many modern games and most of my favourites can be played under Linux, so that isn't a real concern.
Lawyer: But don't use A-flat or G-natural. Those are owned by Disney. Homer: (moans) Lawyer: That's A-flat. Homer: (moans in a higher key) Lawyer: That's better!
This is why my MP3 player has a 128GB micro SD in it. I hate having to shuffle music around and I like being able to listen to anything I happen to think of at the spur of the moment.

Honestly, it would not surprise me if Microsoft started doing things like that. Windows 10 is more of a marketing platform than an operating system.

Just the one?

*IRQ 7
Or at least that was what my original Sound Blaster (1.0!) was configured to by default. I don't think IRQ 5 became the norm until the SB16.
Or this.
You should be using VeraCrypt since TrueCrypt is outdated.

All I can think of is HUDSON.

Rufus works for me. I've used it a number of times without problems.

I have been using Portable Update instead of Windows Update.
That's why you choose default settings that "most" people will use but allow everything to be customised by those who want to.
They should call it the Super-Duper Famicom.
The Tetris movie reminds me of this
Check out Cryptocat too.
Maybe it's that X-Plore's UI is a hot mess?
Explain how. It's a standard dual pane file manager layout and pretty much everything can be customised.
Microsoft has to prove what they are doing with their spyware data (it's not "telemetry", stop calling it that) because they encrypt the transfers.
Personally, I don't want any data leaving my systems unless I, the user, explicitly tell it to.
unless you have extended support which expires January 14, 2020
You say that as if it's possible for him to not have extended support. Everyone has extended support and Windows 8.1 goes until 2023.
That gives me 7 years to move over to another OS, which is plenty of time.
I would rather have my OS not upload any of my data at all. That's why I won't ever use Windows 10.

We can only hope.
NAPSTER BAD!
LOL!
