Not sure why you "need" them, but go for it. Change the assignment.

Thanks👍🏻

That particular screenshot was made just by making a exFAT-formatted disk on my host (running Linux), copying a file to it, attaching the disk to the VM, bam. There is one limitation in Windows: the format GUI won't let you format non-USB drives as exFAT, but you can overcome it by the command line: format /fs:exfat

It's not hard in any scenario.

And how to mount them in changing letters to A and B by commands?

you'll have to muck around in diskpart to do it on the command line. the Disk Management GUI works fine enough for me.

diskpart is one of the gnarliest bits of Windows components, I never remember the commands inside it.

You mean ... Ryzen 5700 is too new to work on ROS? But the ROS manual says, Ryzens should just work

ryzen chipset itself will allow to boot but nothing else is going to really work, lol

my ryzen 3200u laptop only had screen, keyboard and acpi working

Guys I have a question

A guy is asking for help and he sent me this picture

He got screwed I guess

yup, look up ransomware

Yea thats the word

You don't get it unless you're too careless right?

if he doesn't have backups, he's probably screwed. A payment could be attempted, but being scammers likely from countries where he won't have any legal recourse, there's little guarantee it'll work

Yea, I told him to disconnect from the internet and backup the files that are still accessible on a pendrive

The dude said he was searching the internet for VPNs and downloaded around 10 of them 🤦‍♂️

Yeah.... a lot of the commercial "VPN" offerings shouldn't be trusted. I'd argue none of them should be trusted xD

I trust only Kaspersky

I bet ReactOS doesn't have the necessary APIs implemented for that ransomware to work

Should've used ROS instead then

Should've used ROS instead then

Yea

Scammers deserve no mercy

I bet ReactOS doesn't have the necessary APIs implemented for that ransomware to work

It can literally be as simple as fopen() and then writing to the files. There isn't much special to a program that encrypts files :p

It's a joke on the expense of ROS compatibility

it might be the case that some particular ransomware depends on Microsoft's crypt libraries built into Windows, and maybe ReactOS doesn't implement the protocols it'd need. I'm not even aware of missing functionality in ReactOS crypt, but I can imagine as much.

of course if they roll-their-own-crypto (or just static link openssl), you don't even need that support.

When React OS will change the NT version to 6.x?

in 2042

2100*

These jokes about ReactOS development being slow actually pains me

I want a windows alternative 😭

To be fair it's replicating the pace of the Windows org on MSFT pretty accurately 😝

ryzen chipset itself will allow to boot but nothing else is going to really work, lol

Only actual tests matter What's told to me w/o my actual test doesn't

I want a windows alternative 😭

For those programs exclusively in Windows ROS will be a replacement but Linux (FreeBSD / Illumos) will never

Only actual tests matter What's told to me w/o my actual test doesn't

what do you want me to do

this one is booted through ramdisk

because usb doesnt work

Could ROS even be installed?

it doesnt see sata drive in this laptop

and i didnt feel bothered enough to try and find some working drivers

this one is booted through ramdisk

How have you booted ROS thru RAMdisk?

https://reactos.org/wiki/User:Illen/RAM_Boot

technically boots from usb

Worth of a try

👍🏻👍🏻

i dont feel like you should refuse to buy better nvme only machine because of reactos

you arent going to use reactos as main os on ryzen laptop any time soon

and ramdisk is good enough for tests

i dont feel like you should refuse to buy better nvme only machine because of reactos

I'm going to order Asus M515 (NVMe + SATA) first, but Dell 5515 (Vostro) then (2 × NVMe)

you arent going to use reactos as main os on ryzen laptop any time soon

I'm going to run Linux, FreeBSD, and Illumos as main OS'es instead of ROS

i dont feel like you should refuse to buy better nvme only machine because of reactos

Another Ryzen based VAIO E15, is also NVMe only, but its Ryzen 3700 series was too old

I'm going to run Linux, FreeBSD, and Illumos as main OS'es instead of ROS

if you actually going to run illumos (or openindiana) tell me how your experience was

stop spreading heresy

if you actually going to run illumos (or openindiana) tell me how your experience was

doubtful he's run any of them xD

classic "list things I've heard of so I seem smart" scenario

So what is illumos?

The community continuation of OpenSolaris in the post-Sun world

For a time, it was the principle point of development for ZFS still, but that's shifted to OpenZFS, which is primarily Linux and FreeBSD. illumos still contains some neat features, but it's a bit like grasping for straws as there are very few scenarios where it ends up as the ideal operating system. Running old Solaris binaries is one of the main pluses. Beyond that, FreeBSD has practically every feature of interest (eg: ZFS, DTrace, NFSv4 ACLs, jails (zones)), greater hardware support, greater software support, much more active development.

Oh

And here I was thinking that every open source OS is based off of GNU/Linux

far from it

the whole point of this group is about an open source OS that isn't based on GNU/Linux :P

and as we're speaking of illumos and FreeBSD, both of them have lineages that are much older than Linux is

the whole point of this group is about an open source OS that isn't based on GNU/Linux :P

Yea I know

I mean the only other one open source OS that I knew existed other than ROS was GNU/Linux

Now there is this thing Haiku which based on something

Now I heard about illumos

Crazy world

and as we're speaking of illumos and FreeBSD, both of them have lineages that are much older than Linux is

Oh

Now there is this thing Haiku which based on something

Haiku's not based on anything than the BeOS APIs. Just as ReactOS is based on the Windows APIs

Oh

The *BSDs and illumos both have lineages that go back to the mid-1970s with the original releases of Unix. Linux became a thing in 1991 (and likewise, not based on anything but a vague idea of what a Unix-like OS could be)

Haiku's not based on anything than the BeOS APIs. Just as ReactOS is based on the Windows APIs

Yea yea thats what I'm saying, its different and it blows my mind
