      fyi Dave was involved in some scareware bullshit as one of the main actors and sued for it. Fuck this guy.

      I went to go disable my nic.

      It needed a reboot to take effect.

      The fuck? I only want to turn it off because I’m testing something and I need a change of ip to test an application and I’m feeling lazy, so I turn off the nic to go to wifi. Good enough? Nope.

      So stand up and unplug the cord.

      Cool. Switched over. Test didn’t work as expected. Plug cord back in.

      Next day computer reboots for updates and I’ve got no internet. Go crazy trying to figure out what it was then remember it needed a reboot to disable the nic.

      He also wrote the File Formatter, which has a file size limit of 32Gb for the Fat32 format for the same reason: it wasn’t supposed to be permanent, but it hasn’t changed for over 20 years.

      I was thinking about this recently, so it is a bug, not a feature

        The limit on formatting drives as fat32 is 32GB on windows though anything above 32GB and you have to go find a 3rd party tool to convert larger disks to fat32
