Sure, if you believe that is the case.

I don’t really care what you do. It’s not like it impacts me.

The only persons that it impacts are you and that other guy which might or might not get fewer donations. It’s not really about appeasement it’s about assurances.

I don’t think it was updated when I looked earlier but it looks good now 👍

You might consider adding to the descriptions on the other platforms that .ml is explicitly excluded considering that many seem to be confused but that’s up to you.

If that is the case you should make it clear in the description what exactly is being funded on each platform.

You can use pins, passwords, TPM, a usb key, or multiple in combination. But generally TPM is the best option for most users

apparently it’ll pwrma lock itself after x amounts of invalid passwords which is just incredibly stupid. But don’t worry, there is a backup key! Yeah, that is lie

If you only used TPM for bitlocker with no pre-boot authentication or something similar, it’s possible that you had the “MaxDevicePasswordFailedAttempts” policy configured. Apparently that is configured by default if you use the security baseline.

IMO it makes a lot of sense to lockdown and require bitlocker recovery if there has been a few failed attempts.

We use bitlocker on probably over 1000 devices I don’t believe we had any substantial issues with it. Of course users occasionally get locked out, but that should be planned for and a process should be in place to help them.

I suggest deploying windows hello or smart cards to reduce the dependency on passwords. Window hello for business is especially great since it’s free, secure and way easier and faster for users to use, especially if your devices have fingerprint readers or face recognition. I wish Linux and MacOS had anything as useful as Windows Hello.

There are obviously other good reasons for not donating or at least thinking hard about it first.

But removing one bad thing surely couldn’t hurt.

I think the EDPB would have a field day if that was the case.

While I very much dislike that too, it’s very easy to opt out. Just use Windows Pro, Enterprise, or education.

The entire point of recall is that it’s running locally. That’s why only a very very very small subset of all Windows 11 PCs support it. Only “copilot+” pc supports it which are PCs with very specific processors with AI processing. Most notably the new Snapdragon arm PCs.

Well, half a billion is still a lot of money so it’s great that the union got it so they can spend it on something useful. Half a billion USD is the entire yearly revenue of some fairly large companies in Sweden.

And the fine is not intended to bankrupt Apple, it’s intended to punish them and as a show of force. If Apple still refuses to comply or even pay the fine, the fines would obviously escalate and the max fine on this offence is very very high.

Also remember that the EU generally only cares what they do inside the EU, they care about how it affects EU citizens. So it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to issue brutally high fines based on yearly global revenue yet.

But why, some say, the Switch? Why did they choose this as their goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 98 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

They choose to go to mod a Switch. They choose to mod a Switch in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Yes, I think that’s the point. They just wanted to play PS3 games, they would probably just buy a PS3 for cheap and be done with it.

But this person obviously thought it was more interesting to mod a switch to do it and I fully agree.

This person is the same type of person that makes DOOM run inside a PDF, or something else weird.

FYI: You can still use windows offline and without an account if you use Pro or Enterprise and I assume education edition.

Doesn’t the internet ridicule everyone who slips up though?

Email? Thunderbird’d’d

Thunderbird is only a mail client. Don’t forget to actually move from gmail if you want to degoogle.

Maybe someone just forgot to run copy running-config startup-config lol

Did she commit any crimes against humanity then?

You know that’s a very serious accusation right?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Isn’t military service mandatory in Israeli?

Well obviously. A severe violation of anything is considered worse by pretty much anyone.

but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.

Within reason.

Over optimization is a curse on getting done.
