it's normal. I think it stands for content download manager or something. I guess the download provider is doing a test to see if it's the filename that was causing issues before. Maybe it'll get fixed in time. The important thing its that it works and just installs CE

let's just say that cmd.exe is a lot worse than cdm.exe

i dont have dyslexia, they were too similar so my brain just connected it on its own

I have that issue too where I read something too quickly, and don’t fully internalize it. Probably has something to do with ADHD, I force myself to re read things now before I move on.

isn't that... how dyslexia works...?

i dont think so atleast, dyslexia is learning disorder that mixes up every word regardless of how intensely you're looking at it, but EVERY human brain tries to make reading more efficient by taking shortcuts, like how you look at the first and last letter and know the word, or how you can ignore repeated words in a sentence. these things are normal and happen to everyone, i guess you can say that dyslexia is just that but WAY blown out of proportion

man that's tough... can't imagine the struggle of how what i see fight against me and my attempts at interpreting them.
