Perhaps its a case of nobody caring about the details

The Trinidad and Tobago Coat of Arms (COA) has been in the news recently with the PM of T&T announcing that the three ships in the COA would be replaced by the steelpan.

However, it looks that the image shown around is one drawn by Wikipedian user Sodacan (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sodacan) who judging from his Wikipedia page has drawn various coat of arms using Inkscape.

Not only shown around but many Trinidad and Tobago Government websites and in print insignia in front of Trinidad and Tobago Government offices have copied and reused "Sodacan" version of the Coat of Arms.

There are subtle changes from the "original" coat of arms and Sodacan's version , here's a GIF showing the original and Sodacan's version.

Update on this - finally figured out how to install/upgrade Nvidia display drivers without Geforce experience from a Batchfile

- unpack the nvidia driver for Windows (game driver or studio driver) using 7-zip to a folder.

in that folder run setup.exe (as admin)

setup.exe -passive -noreboot -noeula -nofinish -s Display.Driver Display.PhysX HDAudio.Driver

Update regarding Dropbox folder not allowing MSI installer files stored there to be run (see https://techhub.social/@devtee/112323169470765537)

After uninstalling Dropbox and still getting the same error,
I then noticed that there were "two" Dropbox folders

"Dropbox (Team Name)”
“Team Name Dropbox"

I then discovered from this URL
https://help.dropbox.com/plans/upcoming-business-team-changes

"The name of the Dropbox folder will change from “Dropbox [team name]” to “[Team name] Dropbox."

so the previous Dropbox (Team Name) folder was turned into a junction link to point to Team Name Dropbox

All my Quick Access links were still using the "old" Dropbox link.

Removed the old Junction link and accessing the Dropbox folder at Team Name Dropbox - success. Now waiting on Dropbox to reindex the files

Sigh........

Update #2 - a solution - See https://techhub.social/@devtee/112326654227478013

Edit #1 - after terminating the Dropbox service and then restarting, the issue appears to be resolved on one of the machines

(However I did restart the other machine twice.... so hopefully when I get access to the other machine, maybe this strange "bug" would be over)

Hmm..... a weird problem - MSI files that are synced in Dropbox on two Windows 11 machines have suddenly stopped working. When clicked on, Windows Installer gives a error message
"This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

Initially I was wondering if the files were corrupt but if I copy the files to a folder outside of Dropbox, it opens normally so they don't seem corrupt.

Apparently its hard to find documentation on how to silently install Nvidia display drivers without Geforce experience from a batch file (and possibly doing it from BatchWinInstaller (https://github.com/devtee/batch-win-installer)

https://community.spiceworks.com/t/silent-install-nvidia-drivers-without-geforce-experience/1014066 comes close with some but not all command line options

https://github.com/lord-carlos/nvidia-update/ offers some clues as to how to do it but involves removes files from the installer which isn't something I'm keen on doing.

The search continues.....

Sigh...looking at Buffer @bufferapp and wanted to add one social media channel to post to to the 3 included social media channels and I did thinking it was just $6 / mth for the one channel and I'm struggling doing things for my non-profit so I thought, well, ok, $6 US a month for one channel would be worth it since I will save time cross posting and would hopefully make me post more since it would be easier to do so.

BUT unfortunately "adding one channel" removes the 3 channels so in effect I have to pay $24 US month :-( . Sigh. I've paid but I feel swindled not realising this.

Not a pleasant feeling.
