Thanks- it was probably around 6 months ago, I can't remember what the issue was. Do you have any pre-built releases?

Never really thought about this before but this just shows how lame Microsoft are. People there went to the trouble of Copyrighting the HOSTS file! I mean how petty! Plus it's actually a BSD ripoff, so they have a cheek copyrighting it!

If this is the local PC AI that Microsoft are doing in public, how scary is the stuff they don't show? Your PC is going to read everything and do everything without your say, very soon! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ share.google/hPYLgFzu0QCW...

I'm currently making a video for people that want to run Linux because of win 10eol / crap like this but have to use a specific app, e.g Photoshop. Using something called winapps this is a reality!

I slowed down my clock speed in the hope that it would increase the CPU speed of my XT. I used a programmable oscillator too. Here's what happened!
