My friend, have you ever configured an LED signboard before? If not, what you will learn will shock you...
...a lot of these boards are controlled by proprietary chinese software that only functions on Windows XP.... even today.
As to why they don't have a more modern OS connected to a signboard that obviously supports at least VGA and probably HDMI.... I don't know. Especially since the BSOD is a Windows 10 BSOD... XP did not have QR code sad face BSODs at the time.
This month I can finally leave my extortionate Verizon contract, I'm getting a new SIM card to get service with another ISP, now how can I ensure to keep my previous old phone number that Verizon assigned me 7 years ago?
Nonsense. It's in the rules that you can transfer. You need to authenticate to port out your number, such as get a port-out code from Verizon. Make sure all the porting info is correct on the new carrier so thwy can be good. If there really is a dumb reason, then you can simply port out to a different prepay provider (page plus, boom! are two that run on Verizon's Network), then port to the carrier you intend to be on.

Do better than I did with Bitcoin (sold it waaaaaay before it became money), Do better with GME etc., idk, probably little things here and there if I can remember them. Try to get the good ending.
Forza Horizon 5. Just got all I could for the Retrowave event. Couldn't get the DeLorean or the F50, but I do have an extra F40 now and the GMC Syclone. Kinda missed some of the events due to working on other things.
Also the Hyundai N Vision 74 is a meh EV. No way to gear it for more top speed, and the Porsche Taycan is way better.
I have one better. Regardless of which port and which monitor, physically, logically, sddm always inverts the position of my dual monitors versus everything else.

It's ... something new. The original game used a game engine evolved from Goldeneye (N64), so while it did a lot of cool things back then, it was very limited in what it could do.
It's interesting to see the Mirror's Edge parkour system being implemented. It brings a fresh take on the typical gun and run fps formula.
Mass Effect, the first one. The soundtrack, being event driven, made the whole thing feel like a space opera you'd watch as a tv series, not just be an RPG.

Microsoft is trying to restore Bing as the default search engine on users' browsers by spinning it as a "repair" through a utility app called PC Manager....
You know, this is a useful tool when you're clearing a malware infection. Everyone seems to be assuming this is fully automatic, but it requires you to accept the change before it commits.
Of course, since everyone here is rabidly anti-Microsoft, anything MS does is automatically the worst thing in existance.
Edit: In this case, it is providing the option to reset Edge's search and home settings back to "known safe" defaults. If you had this tool let you set anything, that's an attack surface that can be exploited by a "tech" from India or a malware running counterops to prevent removal.
Worst case, you use another browser, since clearly Microsoft is the devil and you shouldn't use Edge anyway.
... and the Blazer EV was immediately on recall because of showstopping bugs. They're trying too hard to rush out a super high tech car when they need to make it more basic to start with.
They released the game early access, so everyone was expecting a perfect game from the start because of how much development went into 1. Honestly, while 2 had issues, the game engine is much better than 1, they just needed to bake it more, like several years more, before releasing it hot off the heels of 1.
Edit2: Thanks all for your responses! I have checked the logs, https://lemmy.nz/comment/6192604, and based on that removed tracker-miner-fs as it's a search/index tool which I don't need. No idea why it took over all memory. I'll also get a WiFi Smartplug as a kill switch. Hopefully that solves it....
A unifi power strip on a unifi network so you can control the power switch, and setting the motherboard to auto turn on after power failure. Though this is the nuclear option for restarting the system. Maybe while you're at it, diagnose why it keeps hanging up on you.
