Hi possiblylinux127,

I have 200 years of experience with Microsoft Systems, and six children. Janie is just going to her first day of school today, and I'm buying her a Zune - a project I was heavily involved in and am proud of the commercial success that it was.

I have extensively worked on GPO as a developer, engineer, architect, project manager, lead coffee run guy and support officer. It is, like all our products, perfect and would never experience any issue itself, it is always user error.

I am sorry to hear you are having a GPO permissions issue. Before I tell you the solution, might I suggest you purchase the Microsoft Advanced GPO Support® or the Microsoft Expert (24/7) Support® support packages. We are currently throwing in a special on our 1hr response, 8 week resolution SLAs at the moment for only an additional $8,999 USD! Here are a few links:

Microsoft Advanced GPO Support®

Microsoft Expert (24/7) Support®

Your solution can be found below, and is guaranteed to fix the issue:

1. Open Start.

2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.Type the following command to repair the Windows system files and press Enter:

3. sfc /scannow

I would greatly appreciate it if you could click on Mark As Answered if this resolved your GPO problem. Janie really needs that Zune.

(This shitpost isn’t mine. I found it somewhere and saved it.)

That’s not a full version of Windows and some apps won’t run. But many things do, and it’s come in handy many times.

You might as well. Like others have said, it bypasses the clear net and exit nodes. But you could also change your website based on the host name the browser is requesting. For example, serve your regular site to regular users, and a scripting-free version to Tor users.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. Switching to KeePassXC-full when it becomes available.

Sadly. Now, though, Mozilla has instructions you can follow to return to their PPA.

Yeah, kind of.

And we’re glad you’re allied with us. Welcome, my brother, sister, or non-binary sibling.

I’ve been using it ever since Ubuntu switched over. No major issues, though I have to launch Calibre (the ebook manager) via the command line with a special environment variable because the developer is anti-Wayland. I’m looking for alternatives.

The Panasonic ToughBook and ToughPad series are engineered to be, like the name implies, tough. I had a customer who purchased those almost exclusively, and I never had anything bad to say about them (except for cost).

It’s not just you. I’m not that entertaining. My hobbies are kind of boring. I’m not very exciting. I use this question as a chance to talk about my accomplishments.

My last job told me to stop that and try to talk about myself. I forget what I said, but it got me hired.

My T470 worked just fine without thinkfan installed. Is that just something model-specific?

I use Scrivener for writing. Aside from one or two minor display bugs, it works great on WINE. Switch the UI to GNOME’s Cantrell font and it blends in fairly nicely.

Yeah, basically landlording with more capitalism layered on top, with a “I’m just like you” populist spin.

Switching from Word to LibreOffice Writer was hard. Sure, I figured out documents on my own, but it still won’t print envelopes correctly (the printer doesn’t respect the margins and orientation compared to my Windows install).

I assume changing platforms and apps is harder when you use your computer to make money. I feel for the OP in the screenshot. Assuming his hardware is compatible, I’m sure he could take some time to learn a FOSS alternative but it’d be a while until he was proficient enough to make a living. The commenter was dickish but correct. Still, let’s not assume switching apps is as easy as switching gas stations.

All right, OP’s in the club!

That firmware part isn’t new. Back in the day when we were dual-booting Linux on PowerPC Macs, macOS was still needed for firmware updates.

Yeah, but reflashing a motherboard is far less dangerous than reflashing a $30,000 car. Your computer couldn’t kill someone if something fails. As much as I hate this image and wished repair instructions were made public, this may be the wisest move from a liability perspective.

You know there were beer-drinking peasants in the Globe Theater’s cheap seats laughing along to Shakespeare’s comedies. Pay a few pence, BYOB, and enjoy the show. Some things never change.

Does the theater not serve drinks? If they do and you can get away with one, buy one. Covertly refilling it would be indistinguishable from you just nursing one drink for the entire performance.

You could also use a base with a strong scent. Colas, Dr. Pepper, orange soda, etc. may have enough smell to hide your habit from those around you.

I feel for you. Nothing beats a good drink. However, in cases like this, perhaps edible cannabis is better. No smell, discreet, and enough to “just take the edge off” (for me) is about the size of a breath mint. Have some while you’re waiting in line to get in and enjoy the show.

tl;dr, podcasts are expensive to produce, about $1000/hour with video, hosts (local and remote), and post-production. TWiT is going through hard times and some shows and hosts have to go. Sadly, FLOSS was on the chopping block.

Advertisers just aren’t interested in podcasts anymore. If you still want to support the network after this, give Leo $7/month and join Club TWiT. I don’t give a rat’s ass about Discord, but I do want to prevent stuff like this.

Validrive is a new tool that’s quite good at detecting fakes.

I tried Linux when I was younger. I decided to try Gentoo on underpowered hardware with zero Linux experience. I credit that uphill battle for teaching me Linux! I used that until I got into dependency hell and switched back to Windows for a while. I needed PowerShell and stuff for my old job, before it went cross-platform. It was fine.

A few years later, I was dual-booting again. Then, Windows 10 began blue-screening randomly. I couldn’t figure out why. Reinstalling didn’t work. So I started using Linux full-time and I’ve never looked back.

Even when I found out that one of my memory sticks had been half-inserted for months, and that’s probably what made Windows crash all the time. How did Linux handle it? Obviously, because it’s better.

Instead of sharing the image, why not share the scripts or steps used to make it? Other people raised some fine points, but for me, my German is very poor.

It’s lined up with the main portion of the keyboard. Ergonomically, it makes perfect sense, even if it looks wrong.

I use Monal on iOS and it’s worked quite well so far. I admit I just joined the XMPP adventure.

Nobody has ever given me a dime. But they do give me bug reports, pull requests, and the occasional email or toot of gratitude.

How do you think file systems would be handled? Apple’s SCSI/FireWire/USB/Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode just made all disks available over the interface in a filesystem-agnostic manner. Would I be able to see my ext4 boot partition, ZFS arrays, and any attached volumes?

Though FireWire wiped the floor with USB 1.1, FireWire 800 outperformed USB 2.0 (especially in S3200 mode), and there were even plans to use fiber to run at speeds USB wouldn’t match until USB 3.2 Gen2. Sadly, the technology was ultimately doomed due to the higher costs of implementation. At first, a FireWire controller was more expensive than a USB controller, though prices would eventually drop. That’s to say nothing of Apple, Sony, and Panasonic initially wanting a $0.25 royalty per port, which would quickly add up for manufacturers.

Steve Jobs officially declared FireWire dead in 2008. Still, development continued into 2013, and all the major operating systems still support FireWire peripherals to this day — even Apple Silicon Macs, via a Thunderbolt adapter. (However, Microsoft removed FireWire networking starting in Windows vista.)

I came here to complain about Flatpak vs. .deb, and left with a new thing to try.

Yes, and the RRSIG record will prove that it hasn’t been tampered with.

As soon as everyone signs their zones with DNNSEC, we can implement DANE to use self-signed certificates safely, and all our problems will go away, world peace will be achieved, and food will taste better.

I wouldn’t have noticed this if people hadn’t started pointing it out. I’ve seen worse examples out there than mine. I suppose I’m lucky.

The iPhones 15 can accept USB-C Power Delivery at up to 20 W, but they can only output standard USB power at 4.5 W.

That will power most any accessory and charge your AirPods, and it’s a huge improvement over Lightning’s 300 mW output.

Sounds like a great excuse to fork the project and start its own community. Of course, keep integrating upstream fixes, but maybe make the logo a trans pride flag.

Sorry, you’re not. All models have USB-C connectors, but the non-Pro models are limited to USB 2.0 speeds. The USB 3.2 controller is part of the A17 processor, so that’s why it’s limited to the Pro line. It’ll make it to the iPhone 16 line, though, but for right now, it’s a Pro feature.

I wanted to, but I didn’t make it to the store in time. Fortunately, I had a productive day and I feel great, so that’s a beautiful perk.

I use Linux and my iPhone shows up in GNOME’s file explorer. I’m able to drag and drop files into apps. (They appear like directories.)

I can’t tell you what needs to be installed, since it worked out of the box on Ubuntu, but check your package manager for “iOS” or “iPhone”.

Thank you for the explanation! Makes sense given the SoC design.

Indeed. I guess they saved a few cents by not including the USB 3 controller on that model.

I don’t care if we make the playoffs. Brian Cashman could use the wake-up call. We just have to have a better record than the Red Sox. Is that too much to ask?
