How badly do you want to get beaten up for crappy, inane video?

nope. bill said that.

The way I remember it, the Spyder issue *was* file permissions. It
couldn't write the new calibration file to a certain folder. That's
why they were in the same sentence. Thinking more about it, Eric might
have mentioned another separate issue, the one that many people had
when upgrading to 10. But I still think the Spyder problem had the
same cause.

Frankly, I can't remember.

fortunately, others do.

Fortunately?

yes.

very strange.

So, you see I did not mention networking in a discussion about Spyder
issues.

then why did you mention networking issues in a discussion about spyder
and permissions?

Read the ****ing thread. You will find that I have already explained
this in more detail than I am accustomed to get from you.

avoiding answering, as usual.

nowhere did you say why you mentioned networking.

In the context of file permissions. It's just a few paragraphs above.
Can't you understand it?

except that your spyder problem involved a locally attached device, so
there wouldn't be any networking.

Which is why I didn't lump them together.

thus your mentioning networking was a new context.

It arose from Bill W's mention of problems arising from file
permissions.

in another post, you mentioned repeated bluescreens. that would be
considered a grinding halt.

I also mentioned that was with Windows 2000 which dates back to the
last century.

it still counts.

For what?

that windows has a lot issues, ones which you are dismissing as normal
because you're used to there being problems all the time.

You seem to lumping together all the problems over history. Let me
assure you I no longer suffer from the problems of Windows 2000.

only because you're not running win2k anymore. now you're suffering
from win10 problems, and dismissing them.

How would you know?

how so? networking was not a factor in your situation.

Install w10 on them all and you're done... ;-ppp

Not if you want to access a wide range of files on one machine from
another.

Can't you use SAMBA?

Possibly, but my need is not sufficiently pressing to justify the
effort in getting started.

what effort is that?

I don't know anything about Samba.

unless you're writing a samba client or server, you don't need to.

If I'm going to use it I need to.

no you don't.

all you need to know is how to enable/disable smb and how to connect to
a remote volume, both of which are very easy.

What a drongo you are. In one line you tell me I don't need to know
anything about Samba. In the next line you tell me what I need to
know. You can't have it both ways but you seem to want to try.

also, use smb3 when possible (which it should be), otherwise smb2. do
not use smb1.

no need to overcomplicate things.

nonsense.

My experience does not seem to be the same as yours.

then you're doing something wrong.

windows systems of different versions have *no* issue communicating
with each other.

We are not talking about networking. We were discussing file
permissions.

wrong yet again.

you wrote:

do you see the third word in that sentence?

No because you no doubt deliberately didn't quote the relevant text.
What is your explanation of the "They" which make "networking between
machines running different versions of Windows a pain in the arse."?

i'm asking *you* why it's a pain in the arse.

It's all about 'permissions' - file permissions - I'll leave you to
guess.

networking between machines running different versions of windows is
not a pain, nor is it a pain with other systems, including mac, unix,
ios and android.

tl;dr - user error.

all you need to know is how to enable it and connect, just as you do
with anything else.

you claimed it required a lot of effort. it doesn't.

changing a lightbulb is more effort.

no wonder you have so many problems with windows.

there is no issue with permissions and networking, unless you make it
an issue.
