Geek / Games Discussion / Re: Windows 11 - Do we want it or can we even handle it?
« Last post by Sandman[SA] on November 02, 2025, 11:58:13 pm »Been caring for my mom while she was really sick. She is finally over the worst of it.
I'm glad to hear that your mom is doing better now. That's great news.
Is it too late for me Jeff? Without a Credit Card how do I do it? I don't want to put my Windows on the Cloud neither. So which is the best for me and how?
It is not too late and it's completely free. You can sign out of the cloud stuff afterwards. Click the search icon and type "Settings". In your settings page, click on "Update & Security". To the right of your windows updates page, you should see a link that says "Enroll now". Login with your Microsoft account and you're in. Once you complete that, just log back in to your Local User account. From there, you can turn off all the cloud share garbage that you don't want.

There are A LOT of people out there that will tell you that Windows 7 was G.O.A.T! In case you don't know what that means. Greatest Of All Time. For what that OS was capable of doing, it did what it was supposed to do and did it very well. Unfortunately, you and I cannot go back to Windows 7 on our current rigs. 8th gen and newer Intel systems will not be fully supported by Windows 7. Same goes for 2nd gen Ryzen and up.
Windows 10 had it's teething pains early on. But once they got those kinks ironed out, Windows 10 turned out pretty damn good too. Windows 10 will truly be the last Windows OS that is backward compatible with older systems.

Well, kind of. Yes, the Republicans wanted to cut funding for food stamps. As well as many other government assistance programs. But I don't recall hearing about any lawsuit over this. At least, not yet.
The Republican house chairman Senator Mike Johnson is being sued for failing to sware in a newly appointed Democratic senator. I can't recall for what state though.

Server Announcments / Re: Our own 7 Days 2 Die server
« Last post by Sandman[SA] on November 02, 2025, 11:01:15 pm »Thank you. I forgot the exact directory.
There are 2 options that you can use. First is the default way.
#1. C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/7 days to die/Mods/
Second way and the way you should be installing mods is like this.
#2. C:/Users/"Your User Name"/AppData/Roaming/7DaysToDie/Mods/
While using the default way, you will have to use caution NOT to delete or over-write the 0_TFP_Harmony file. If you do, the game won't run, and you will have to verify file integrity to get it back. The second way keeps everything simple, neat and tidy. If you're into world or prefab editing, your work will be saved here. So, no need to go searching around for anything. And if you delete your Mods folder from here, no harm will come to your game.
By the way. I have been posting progress updates on the discord channel covering all the fixes I have been making along the way. I am still finding small bugs and patching them as I go. Most are just tiny .xml changes and won't affect the server's clients. When you see the mods pack date change on the steam server browser page, that is when you need to download the latest pack.
Looks like I could not find it because I have it on D instead of C as Dave said not to install games on my SDD.
D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods\
The appsdata folder is there on your C:\ drive. But I understand that you have a small SSD and your trying to conserve the space.

But as of yesterday, I included a new empty water jar image in the mods pack that better matches the new glass jar changes in v2.0. If you have downloaded the mods pack a little while ago, I encourage you to download it again.
Okay I did it.

« Last post by KT 💣 KλBoƠM on October 30, 2025, 12:27:10 pm »Would there be any security risk to doing that (keeping Windows 10 installed at all)?
There are always risks to everything. But listen. You could still be running Win 7 if you really wanted too. Setup a VM partition inside of that and run another OS from there. Anything you like. Because the VM partition is self-contained, it won't have access to the rest of the system unless you allow it.
You know my web server and NS servers are run from a win 7 machine, right? Those services have no access to the rest of the system. Just their corresponding directories. And I don't use that computer for anything else. But is it still a "security risk"? Well, yeah. Of course it is. I'm just not that worried about it.
That is good to know. I still feel Windows 7 was one of the best OS versions of Windows. Which do you think was the best?

« Last post by KT 💣 KλBoƠM on October 30, 2025, 12:25:52 pm »This government closure the US is dealing with now is all because of this. Donald Trump and most of the MAGA Republican party want to strip Americans of affordable health care and pretty much any other government assistance programs. They are spreading lies stating that its only illegal aliens draining the system. The Democrats are trying to preserve fair and just assistance programs for American citizens that can't survive without them. This once great country is being torn down and ripped apart by one twisted and demented convict's ideals.
Ya the Christian Radio Station I listen to in the CRV was saying that people are going to be losing their food stamps (I think I got that right) so they are now suing Trump. DO I have that correct?
