Just uninstalled Eset Internet Security AGAIN and it took my Internet with it.
Just uninstalled Eset Internet Security AGAIN after being hit with repeated "General compiler error" errors that prevented it from updating- and it toook my Internet with it. Oh, I still have my network access but I get the "Secured, No Internet" status when I connect ( Read more... ) -
Pearson Vue, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY PC?
I just took the Comptia Security+ certification exam via Pearson's onVUE online testing program. Now when I boot up I get the following error:

Getting Eset's Nod32 antivirus working in Gentoo.
My installation of Eset's Nod32 anti-virus seemed to go off without a
hitch but when I attempt to run the program (either by clicking the
icon on the menu or executing it from the CLI) nothing happens. I
mean, the process executes and blocks input from the command line, and
it appears on a list of running processes, but there's no sign of it

Nearing the end of my malware recovery or is it just getting started?
Nearing the end of my malware recovery. Windows 10 is reinstalled, thoroughly hardened for security, and just about ready to go back online.
Yet there are a few significant problems I have yet to work out:
- Windows won't detect available wifi networks at login. I walk away and come back some hours later, yes, Windows will have found them but at log ( Read more... )

I worry my PC is infected with malware. ;_; Time to reinstall!
Eset Internet Security keeps reporting a "General compiler error" every time it tries to update. It started happening a few weeks ago and I ended up restoring my system from a backup, and I've spent the past couple weeks reinstalling my programs. Which seemed to solve the problem, but now I'm getting the compiler error again.

Finally have my files downloaded! Where did these extra five files come from?
Once I got ssh working I was able to transfer files from my Win10 cloud server to my father's iMac where I'll put it them on a USB flash drive. Yay! But I find it somewhat disconcerting that my downloaded files somehow increased from 310 to 315 between the time I downloaded them to my Win10 home directory and copied them to external storage. I ( Read more... ) -

Problem: Can't connect to macOS sshd server via my public IP address (logging in with localhost did work).
Solution: It took me a day and a half to figure this out and I tried a bunch of things. First thing was to make sure "Remote Login" was checked under System Preferences > Sharing, and that it permitted all users to log in. After that I ( Read more... ) -
Getting Emacs back in macOS Catalina
I just installed homebrew on my Dad's "new" iMac.
Then I used it to install Emacs.
Before using Homebrew I had attempted to install Mitsuharu Yamamoto's Emacs distribution from source (Emacswiki really talked it up), but that didn't go so well as I quickly succumbed to dependency hell. First I needed to compile autoconf to generate the ./ ( Read more... ) -
Mobile research advice in the form of Excel Spreadsheets
Over the past few months I’ve been playing with Excel files (technically MS Works Spreadsheets files, but they’re just stripped down Excel files really) in order to help me decide which computer hardware to get and maybe learn a little more about Excel along the way.
I’m posting the spreadsheets online in case anyone is interested in the ( Read more... )
