• Windows update.

    From Melkor@VERT/STARFRON to All on Monday, April 12, 2021 15:03:36
    The latest update for windows 10 (64 bit) is failing with the error code 0x800f081f. Ive followed all the steps from microsoft and still getting the same thing. I have 1.5 gigs free so I dont think its a diskspace issue. Thought I would see if anyone in BBSland might have some other ideas on this one?

    1.5 gigs of free space sounds suspiciously low to me. I'd to get that free space up to a least 10GB before attempting an update of Windows.

    1.5 gigs aint shit.

    get yourself more space available.

    flush your shit and try your updates again.
    this error might not go away until months later.

    Can't you rollback to Win7? You'll probably get much better
    performance. 1.5GB free wouldn't even bode well under Win7.

    I've read a few reviews about those special win 10 ssd-equipped
    laptops. Most of them were aligned with the idea that they were
    not good for productive things - not ram upgradeable either.

    Can you try a live linux distro to see if the hardware is
    suitable?

    Meanwhile, look for some large files that are nolonger needed on
    the laptop, and free up much more space. 1.5GB free is very
    likely a contributor to poor performance.

    Depends on how one would use Win7. I have Win7 Pro on three

    up until a few months ago. My "recent" Thinkpad T540p that I

    Maybe even a linux distro would be good for the Melkor's pc.

    MS Security Essentials does not patch vulnerabilities found in Windows
    itself. Even MSE is on life support. It's no longer available for Windows XP and virus definitions will no longer be updated after 2023 even for Win7.

    The fact is, that unless you are enrolled in ESU, all Win 7 machines are vulnerable. I get it, there are lots of reasons to use old software, but there risks to doing that and it shouldn't be minimized.

    I'm not excited about MSE entirely, but it's better than
    nothing. It was a fine performer on XP until it was finally
    depricated and ceased to function as expected. But a combination
    of SpybotS&D, Malwarebyes and SpywareBlaster seems to be good
    enough. I'll entertain a scan once in a while, and nothing has
    emerged to be a concern.

    As long as I don't capitulate to phishing emails, and as long as
    I stick with trusted websites, there is no reason for me to be
    afraid to use XP or Win7.

    I would imagine that the phishing emails I get hope to catch
    someone who is vulnerable to an unpatched exploit.

    I wouldn't try to pass a Win7 pc to someone new to the pc scene.
    But for myself, I think that I am OK with the Win7 and XP system
    just fine.

    Then you visit a website that is posting content from an advertisement network that got compromised, get a malware-infected piece of advertisement, and then your machine belongs to some Russian blackhat mafia.

    Yet another reason to hate advertisement networks.

    There are reasons to stick to old operating systems, but you have to be extra careful. I have a Win 7 virtual machine which I run behind a filtering proxy in order to minimize vuln impacts, for example.

    Yeah, those were fun times. I didn't have much chance to mess with DR-DOS at the time and didn't know much about it. I thought it was pretty cool when MS-DOS 5 came out and had its new features, such as the ability to configure a boot menu in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT with different configuration options for different scenarios. I think I read that was originally a feature in DR-DOS?

    I never really had a chance to play with Geoworks either.

    I paid $1500 for my for first "large" hard disk in the early '90s:
    a 330MB 5.25" full-height Siemens ST506 drive. That was a massive upgrade over my collection of 20-80MB drives at the time and helped to make Vertrauen a popular BBS for image upload/download around that time.

    i'm sure it was literally large and weighed quite a bit too.

    Yup. Full-height 5.25" drives are beasts. I had 60MB and 80MB full-heights before the 330MB drive, but the 330MB with its more platters was definitely heavier than those. I was so proud/happy with that purchase for the BBS. It was probably 1989 now I think I really think about it. <shrug>

    i have 3 win7 computers and they are getting updates and
    they fuck up every once in a while and i have to figure out
    whats wrong with the update. -+-

    It' happening on my newest laptop, a T540p Thinkpad:

    KB4535102 failed 2020-01 Security and Qual Rollup for .NET
    KB4524752 failed 2019-10 Update for Win7 x64
    KB4516065 failed 2019-09 Monthly Qual Rollup


    I suppose these things can be downloaded individually outside
    the WUA system, and installed manually?

    yeah you can do that.
    there's a few ways to deal with it.

    i posted before how to kill the service, delete the cache and then you try to update again. sometimes that works. sometimes MS fixes the update process.
