"Time travel" setup?

Post by shadow-archetype » Sat Aug 09, 2025 1:23 am

Mine is a Windows laptop I bought several years ago that literally sat in a drawer for 3-4 years before I started using MakeMKV.

It still runs Windows 10.

I turned off internet clock sync.

Out of paranoia that Microsoft would somehow reset the system clock, I turned off wifi and banned its static IP on my router whenever I have to connect it to the network to upload content to my NAS.

Bit overkill, innit? It's pretty fast to just set the clock to July 2025, then revert to auto-time afterwards, even if you don't use a script like some people are. You don't have to re-enter the key as long as you don't accidentally open the application before time leaping.
(FWIW, I leave the PC in the past when using the program; when I tried returning to the present while the program was already running, I got AACS errors when reading BDs, even in VLC.)
