MS is not going to jack with Excel. It’s the one reason they sell so much Office, and arguably the only reason the product still exists.

Look again. The lug is the same length as the tines. Where’s it going to go as the plug is inserted?

53 here as well. The Debian guy hit a little close to home.

Same. Mine’s 11+ years old, flawless. Even if it finally shits the bed, I can probably get a refurb kit for a few bucks.

OOBE\BYPASSNRO

Been failing for lately. Now you have to:

cd oobe

Then run:

bypassnro.cmd

Guess they took the OOBE directory out of the path.

I’m saving this comment.

Thanks! That makes sense. I’m American, so our sewers aren’t nearly as old as other parts of the world. Plus, people like me aren’t even on a sewer system. If I want to jam out my septic system, and pay for it to be cleaned more frequently, that’s on me.

Garbage disposals are banned here.

LOL, just asked you about sulphuric acid and now this? What’s the reasoning behind that ban? Keeps organic waste out of the system?

Where do you live that sulfuric acid is illegal?! It’s a basic chemical, I use it all the time. Tried some last night in an ultrasonic cleaner last night. (Didn’t work for that project. 🤷🏻‍♂️) You can go to the auto store and get a 5-gallon bucket.

And talk about environmentally neutral, doesn’t get much better. I forget the chemistry term, but it “dilutes” in water instantly. That is to say, it ain’t sulfuric acid anymore. When I’m working with it, I just leave the tap running in case of a spill. Or, just throw baking soda on it, receive water and carbon dioxide.

Most of mine comes from draining old car batteries. If I have to give the battery back for proper recycling and get my $10 back, I’m keeping the acid. What if you do that? Illegal to buy, own or both?
