Archive.org Scanned Book Downloader Bookmarklet

A simple "1-click" javascript approach to downloading a scanned book from archive.org to read at your leisure on the device of your choosing w/out having to manually screenshot every pages of the book by hand. In short it's a glorified "Save Image As..." approach but consolidated down to "1 click". BTW there may be a much better option than this out there - I just built this as an autistic project to see if it would work.

Obligatory Legal/Disclaimer:

By using this script you agree to delete all book files/images after your 1 hour or 14 days is up! I don't support using this script for any other use cases. After all, none of us have ever kept a library book past it's return date, right?

In Windows 10 you can no longer change the last logged on user in the registry like you could in Windows 7. Windows 10 requires the user's SID to be entered as well. Here's an updated guide.

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI, you'll want to change 4 entries:

LastLoggedOnDisplayName
- Enter the user's full name, like Allan Jude
LastLoggedOnSAMUser
- Enter the username, like SHORTDOMAIN\allan.jude
LastLoggedOnUser
Enter the username again, like SHORTDOMAIN\allan.jude

Problem

In Arch Linux mkinitcpio -p linux

Once upon a time there was a user that wanted to install firefox.

The user tried to do pacman -S firefox but it didn't work. The all mighty pacman reported that firefox-3.2.4-1.i686.pkg.tar.gz could not be found on his mirror. So the user tried pacman -Sy firefox. It worked and the user rejoiced since he could once again go and troll /h/.

But all was not good. The user had made a grave error!

See, when the user told the almighty pacman to -Sy firefox, pacman did
