Want to know the fucking hilarious thing? I have to do that reg hack monthly. Updates roll out, go into the registry, change the string, repeat. I'm not the only one, from what I am seeing online. Not sure why some of us have so much trouble with this while some people click that damn thing once and then never have an issue.

The change to the way the USB to serial works has fucked with a ton of people and there is no logical reason why they would do this. All my telescopes and cameras broke and had to do some black magic wankery to get them all sort-of working again.

Linux always seems like it is two-three years away from having everything I want. I use it for work, I use it for home, and I'd love to use it for my daily PC. ASCOM demands Windows, so to do astronomy stuff I am stuck with Windows for a while.
