POS systems

as in Point Of Sales, or the other pos ?

Now I have to figure out what to do about Defender. I don't think it was active before the update.

Well you can download bit defender (free

) and it should

turn off defender.
And/or download O&O ShutUp and turn off everything you hate about win 10

. I like and use both

But you'd have to be careful at what you "turn off" otherwise the whole thing will go belly up! Just my guess.

depends on the day...and how old the equipment is.

A lot needs to be turned of in win 10.

Been using O&O shutup from day one with this win 10 comp. otherwise back to win7

I just discovered that Defender is only active on Edge. So if Defender craps on my day I can go to Explorer and do it there under Norton. I mostly trust Norton. No idea how Defender decides to block sites or downloads. The error window said something about problems have been reported to Microsoft so maybe it just works off user reports. The 2 times it has blocked me were for a download and a website that Norton said were fine. And it doesn't give you the option of overriding its decision like Norton does. It just says NO.

there's probably thousands of systems (hardware) and 100s of processors (software/companies)

they're also nothing like what online retailers use.

ETA: I didn't mean to sound "snooty". I just see a lot of misinformation about credit cards, EMV, skimmers, etc, and it kind of irks me. my job includes installing/troubleshooting POS systems at c-stores.

I started in the good old days, writing Assembler on what I believe was the first commercial POS system in the UK. It ran each POS terminal in a separate partition, up to a maximum of 10, and you allocated memory to a partition by moving copper U pins in a row of holes on the back of the computer. The operating system occupied the bottom 250 bytes of memory in each partition. I guess things got a bit more complicated since then.

Exactly why I left the "tempting" threads for awhile.

I know what you mean. Boy, do I know what you mean!

@VapeLuvr, one of my sons does Uber, Lyft and favor... Might be something to look into while pursuing your next gig. You can make a good amount if worked hard and smart. Just a thought this morn

My daughter is thinking about being an Uber driver this summer. How safe is it?

I guess things got a bit more complicated since then.

Ya think?

I need a quick TP survey.

Who has used the UD Bellus rta and what do you think of it?

Thanks.

Jay

I tried it. Didn't like the airflow.

a little...lol. there's still some older stuff floating out there (at least in my industry). gas pumps especially. those are awesome to work on. if something it wrong, it can be only a handful of things...

who wants to watch TV while getting gas anyways?!?! but they break more often, which keeps me in business.

 

[pokemom]

@Bea-FL, so glad that you are home and on the mend. Welcome back, we missed you.

 

[ToolmanTexas]

Did you try it in single coil mode, with the "plug" in place?


Jay

I did...hate the atty and the vape personally... Much better choices out there

Thanks for the info Lowjumper. I just emailed my Brother about your O&O Shutup who has 2 laptops with Win 10 on them, and hates it quite a bit. I'm still on Win 7, so I'm at peace ATM.

@petrotech, I would strongly advise you getting the Kanger Dripbox 2 my vapor store $42 shipped. I have the Pico, Coppervape, REO , Wraith and several others. The Dripbox does TC better than its bigger brother and is not as bulky. The Speed Revolution is good, so is No Fear Unlimited, Origen Little is very good. Strike 18mm is one I have to try but I'm on a restricted vaping diet after my last purchase.

 

[ChelsB]

I got mine from efun Sigelei Mini Book TC 40W Mod - $9.99
About $15 after shipping but I had to choose random color - received the stainless option. I like it quite a bit.

That's SO tempting! I can justify still spending as much as I did on cigs!

I'm not sure how I would feel about my daughter doing it (if I had one, 4 boys lol).

Yea, I wonder if NASA is still running 64k of memory in their computers for the New stuff like they were for Apollo missions, and the Space Shuttle's. Talk about an industry that should be cutting edge, but isn't, that's NASA.

so uh....that laptop I just bought isn't doing so well. been stuck on this for about 20 minutes. I guess this is why you don't edit the registry while drinking. lol. good thing i got an image before hand. lol
