I'm trying to stick VMware 1.0.2 on an old Win2k box for historical and semi-practical purposes, however it won't run without a license which is supposed to be stored in the registry. I tracked down where it's supposed to be stored (yeah, it's pretty obvious) but I'm not sure what kind of data was actually in the license keys so I can properly make my own.
Anyone here work with 1.x/2.x in the early 2000s, or have an old box laying around with a working install on it that could give me some insight? Or whether or not there's anything else I can do short of disassembling the executable and flailing around like a retard until I find something of interest, if I do at all?
Thanks for reading my blog.

you can probably find an old-timey serial for this old-timey software on an old-timey warez/codes site
(anyone remember astalavista?)
>>54629011
I've thought of FTP surfing for a key but I'm not sure what they named them.
Good idea with old warez sites though, I kind of discounted it since Google will give you everything else VMware ever shipped with a 1.x or 2.x version number no matter how much you refine your search, never really had to search for something this hard before.

Took your suggestion and dug up an ancient keygen for 1.0.1, might have to mess with it a little to get it to generate licenses valid with a current date though.
It works now if I set my date back, gives me an unrelated error however, I'll figure it out eventually.
Thanks though, maybe now I can test drive Red Hat 6 without wiping the OEM 2K image off of this system.
I've had the same bamboo fun tablet for seven years now and I really want to upgrade to a better one. What kind of drawing tablets would you recommend?
>>54628912
Honestly, tablet PC with digitizer.
The ability to see what you're drawing, where you're drawing, is pretty amazing.
>>54628912
I need a cheap, decent tablet to draw with, and work for osu, any suggestions?
>>54628960
Monoprice comes to mind.
I think the new Intuos are also on sale on Massdrop so there's always that.
who has the upperhand
one and the same
>>54628862
Google can spy domestically legally
>>54628862
Probably MS since it has OS level access to most of the computers in the US
Hey /g/uys and /g/irls! I've been wondering... Where do hackers buy things like exploit kits and malware? I've been reading many articles on exploits/malware being sold on darknet forums but I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find these mythical secret forums that security researchers love to talk about. I mean, there's the shitty places like hackforums, hell, 0day etc etc but nobody really sells anything on those sites and they're all full of malware infected with malware. The darknet markets are equally shitty. So, my question is: Do hackers...

I need a cpu cooler <160mm and preferably less than $50. Leaning towards the Phanteks PH-TC12DX, is there anything better?
>>54628801
My other problem is I have a relatively small case and I was worried about air coolers blowing all the hot air into my gpu, should I get a liquid cooler or is this not an issue?
no recommendations?
>>54628969
What case do you have? Why not a 212 evo?
Can I get some help?
I built a PC a couple months ago and everything was going fine. Fast forward to yesterday when I came home from work and decided to jump on the computer.
It was hibernating so I moved the mouse but it didn't wake. Hit the keyboard, nothing. Restarted it, nothing.
Now the damn thing won't post at all. I don't know what the fuck could have happened. After I built it I did all kinds of stress tests and shit and it passed with flying colors. I don't understand how something went wrong. I checked all the cables and shit....

It's just updating to Windows 11.

I've been using Windows since 1995. I like to think I've got pretty good with it. I can set it up to look how I like it, tweak it to run well on my hardware, and I enjoy playing video games and making video clips.
I am not a pedophile or a terrorist.
I see many Linux threads on here and I am often curious and I've had bouts of trying out Linux several times over the years but I always hit road blocks and end up going back to Windows where I can relax and do what I want to do without hassle. I know I could theoretically get to the same level...

>But is it really worth the effort? At the end of the day they do 99% the same thing.
one spies on you. one doesn't.
one forces you to install the updates they push. one doesn't.
one charges you money, and is looking for ways to make more from you. one doesn't.
one runs only than just recent-model x86-64 PCs. one runs on everything.
one has batch files, one has proper scripting.
one looks how it looks and thats it. one has a bunch of customizable environments.

There are easy rebuttals to all of those, and I'm sure you've heard them all before.
Give me something better.

sounds like you don't want to be persuaded. sounds like you've already made up your mind what you're going to do and just want people to tell you you made the correct decision. You didn't, but whatever, it's your computer and life, if you want to waste it, no skin off my back.

My arch Linux fresh install refuses to connect to internet in certain places but works smoothly in other.
After trying various things I saw on forums, I have no idea what I'm doing nor what I have done anymore.
>take a spare HDD
>install Debian
>no network problem
What files should I copy paste from my Debian to Arch so I get rid of the network issues?
I'd use Debian but muh pacman and muh AUR makes me want to stay with arch a little bit longer.
>>54628422
Install gentoo.
>>54628453
I would just like to interject for one moment. The operating system you are suggesting for me to install, and rather commandingly might I add, will in fact, not directly solve my current problem at hand, and will actually cause me to ask further questions about the difficult process involved in installing it. Gentoo is a very nice operating system itself, but I'd rather you directly assist me in my quest to solve my current predicament.
I understand that many computer users run the Gentoo Linux operating...

does dmenu work with wine?
>>54628194
dickmenu doesn't need wine
>>54628260
i need wine though to run abelton and photoshit, and i don't want to bust out urxvt every time to open them, so i was curious if i can do something in its config.
>>54628340
>>54628340
In theory, you can put sh scripts that contain the command to launch these programs in /usr/local/bin and dmenu will find them. Just make sure these scripts are executable

I'm actually converting over a Windows 10 notebook. It'll be a breeze once I find this driver but God help me until I do.

I have the same chip. With arch setting up WiFi is a one liner command thanks to the God tier wiki and the AUR
