As of last night, I have once again updated the 7d2d server to v2.6.  Which includes a bunch of fixes to previously unknown issues of some POI's.  Like trader mechanic's base having a borked .xml file making it unable to build the .ins instruction file.  And trader cafe's backroom security door trigger tied to other nearby doors.  And a massive rework to serial killer POI which includes tons of cosmetic changes and fixes, as well as player pathing system change so that your exploration is more seamless and less guessing where to go next.

I have also made some changes to the big cities mod so that you will see an even larger main big city in every biome.  And will spawn a lot more multi trader bases.  I've included a few other POI's to that list that would normally only spawn 1 or 2 of.  Now will spawn 6 to 8 in the world.  There is also a new custom POI that I made personally, called "The Smith Residence".  This is a T1 fetch and clear that is a reasonable facsimile of my late parents house.  It's as close to the real thing as I can make it.

Well, for the time being, Windows 10 is still a viable use case.  Given that you sign up for the free year of extended security update patches.  Unfortunately, even that won't be an option for much longer.  Now Windows won't stop working after it finally does go EOL.  It just stops getting security updates.  Switching to Linux for most users is another option.  Most distros have a very similar look and feel as Windows does on its surface.  And A LOT of older system hardware support is natively baked in.  Meaning, you most likely won't need to download any drivers to get your system working.  A downside is that a lot of Windows based programs and software you may have are not natively supported or even usable on Linux.  But there are a lot of alternatives and work arounds.  You'll just have to search for what suits your needs.

With all online security lessons I have given my mom, she still falls for AI. Recently she fell for a video where a priest supposedly said somethings but one look at it and I suspected AI and watching it I knew I was right. Lately there is a big trend on YouTube and Social Media (mainly TikTok, Facecbook and Instagram) posting videos of high profile people saying things that they never have said. These videos show their likeness and use their voice. It seems like them. On YouTube they are even making whole accounts that sound legit and desirable and have popular priests, political leaders, news casters, etc, with a whole video talking about big topic things that use a tiny bit of truth with a lot of exaggerated hyperbole.

They say it is local but we already know they seriously encourage you to back up everything to their cloud and in the future there is a good chance that will be the main way.
