Saw that today. Went to ton.org & got the impression it's all about the crpyto. I'd love to have bookmarks in telegram, though.

upgrade windows home to windows pro in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I disabled antivirus, tried again, and was told W11 home was already permanently activated. No upgrade-to-pro option. Oh, well.

I tried MAS & got this error msg. Maybe I'll go offline, turn off antivirus, & try again. If I understand correctly, no remote-control apps will work unless that's enabled in Windows.

Ahoy! I want to share files between iphone & pc. I just discovered that W11 home edition doesn't allow remote access. Microsoft wants $99USD to upgrade to pro. Does anyone know of alternative means? Thanks.

Help with DVD problem, please. in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Other discs work in same drive. This happened once before, and I used an app called BurnAware to fix and rip the DVD. Apparently it's part of DRM meanness. BurnAware isn't working on this one.

Help with DVD problem, please. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I got a DVD, never used with cellophane intact, produced in 1993 on ebay. I thought maybe, since I didn't get a DRM warning, it predated DRM, and I could just copy it to my hard drive, so I did. Both the copy and the DVD are now corrupted and unplayable. I want to fix the DVD then rip it to my hard drive. Googling gives plenty of suggestions for ripping but none for fixing. Please help if you can. Thanks.

What's the cheapest online storage that you know of? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Yandex disk. They accept credit cards.

I knew they were smart. I didn't know they were this strong.

Thanks, everyone, for the info and education. I've just discovered and added Privacy Badger to FF. Tracking makes me feel slimed.

Is this true? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hello, smart people. Filling out an online form to volunteer for something, Firefox's Facebook-fence icon appeared on the email field. Confused, I clicked on its question mark. On the next page, Mozilla wanted to sell me Firefox relay for $7/mo. (That's their VPN + email masking + phone masking.) I used my yandex.ru email address instead for $0. Here's the question: is Facebook really able to track me because I've signed up to volunteer for Cornel West (setting aside the FB-Russia blockage issue)? Thanks.

I came to ask whether there's a way to thank or otherwise appreciate a github team for something very useful.
