Nice to hear! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I like your funny words, magic man

Thanks for the source, super interesting read! I would’ve guessed 1-5% as well.

Questions in surveys like this are sometimes repeated with slight variations to get more accurate results.

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to avoid, using grep displays all of my options at once.

You can use regular strings! Can’t tell you how often* I use:

history | grep docker

history | grep <search>

I like seeing different usages

I agree, the encryption should be deliberate choice. And we’ve said nothing yet about the impact on performance.

You used to almost be forced to make a recovery CD or USB when encrypting a drive, now people don’t even know how ‘important’ the MS account actually is.

Bypassnro is the old method, no longer working since 24H2. I’ve tested this method on GitHub and it works for normal AND S-mode devices.

• Ctrl + Shift + J before selecting secondary keyboard layout (sometimes you need to click on the outside borders of the form so the dev console pops up)
• Type this (can use autocomplete): WinJS.Application.restart(“ms-cxh://LOCALONLY”)
• Setup with local account

Belgium represent! Funny to see people yelling back at a seagull though

All the time, then people get ran around in circles, are given a too technical explanation and give up more often than not.

The encryption is not inherently a bad thing, but forcing people into account creation is where the trouble starts. With piss-poor customer support as the cherry on top, this should never be allowed.

‘The best anti-virus is common sense [current year]’ - was a meme more than decade ago and is still true. Linux is not safer than any other OS.

The reason why people think otherwise is because statistically, when bad actors release malware it’s made for the OS with the largest market share. Which for computers, is still Windows by a landslide.

Yes it does, a client needed this documentation and I’ve tested it extensively. The only exception is when S-Mode is enabled.

You are wrong for now, it is still possible.

• Ctrl + Shift + F3 during setup gives you access to sysprep
• In an admin CMD you can excecute the BypassNRO.cmd script. In C:\Windows\System32\oobe\
• I have encountered one 24H2 installation where the oobe folder was empty, but if you copy the file from another device it works just the same
• Reboot from sysprep and you can now select “Install without internet” when selecting a WIFI

This will not work if you’re already connected to a wifi. BypassNRO sets a registry flag, so it’s only a matter of time till they patch it out, but it works for now.

Edit: Rufus also allows the creation of a local user when making the installation USB, skipping the entire setup process.

Works just as seamless as on Linux, has amazing GUI options too.

This is the way OP

It’s a company who makes them and their partners lots of money, any company you see pushing HP products is just as shady as them. They’ve been riding their brand recognition for at least a decade.

Then right before their EOL’s they push all their old stock for pennies and suddenly everyone has a HP product and they don’t complain for the most part cause they got them dirt cheap.

Mine is using about 100GB atm, ran it on a 40GB to start but the data management was a bit much. Good luck though!

I’ve been using OVH without issues. How big is your drive space though? Lemmy uses quite a bit. Federation can take some time too.
