A Hyper V VM Windows 11 ISO thing

Yeah it’s for work, I have to use one or the other :p

[full fossil]

What's an ISO though?

Hyper V usually isn’t too bad but this is just windows being shit

I just hate hyper-v's ui

Why does that have a 240gb ssd in that expensive of a system

clearly the water cooling budget ate into the storage budget

its a photo from reddit in 2020 i dont thnk its ai

It’s a 50/50 for me, the IO shield is in a weird position is what threw me off

I’m planning on building a raspberry pi 5 nas one of these days

I have a Ryzen 3800x nas

[graceful burrow]

I have a 3900x nas btfo

[vapid smelt]

I assume you meant lineageOS

[tranquil yacht]

Yes, thanks.

[prime solstice]

I kinda wanna do what Jeff geerling did

[orchid wagon]

You know those fluorescent tubes right? Do they make retrofits of those but with RGB LEDs?

[graceful burrow]

Yes
Well idk bout rgb

[orchid wagon]

I know they make white LED retrofits but I ain't about to replace the entire fixture just to get a socket to use a normal RGB bulb

[graceful burrow]

Not seeing em online but I barely searched

Sounds like an untapped market someone should get on that

[orchid wagon]

I searched for a few minutes and even asked copilot and both of us couldn't find anything

[orchid wagon]

I mean there might be an electrical reason as to why it's not a thing but idk

[graceful burrow]

No there's not really a reason
Electricity can be converted into whatever a microcontroller needs

And the electronics are absolutely small enough now

[orchid wagon]

I was gonna say it might be because of the ballast but idk now

Yeah I might just replace the entire fixture

[gilded quest]

Petabyte pi?

[prime solstice]

This https://youtu.be/l30sADfDiM8?si=QjNsAZPhcbs2ScyK

What about trying to get a used older core i3 or something

Downside to pi is lack of IO bandwidth

[prime solstice]

Idk yet I’m just thinking of stuff rn

[gilded quest]

i3-10100 is like $30?

had an arguement with a co-worker today, about what classify a CPU Speed, I said it was Clock Speed and # cores, and he said it was GHZ, along with LM Cache 1,2,3 and how well it does with Single Thread and Multi-Thread Task. How would you guys classified CPU Speed?

Nice grats

[opal thunder]

I myself just changed to Matrixx which saved me since originally I was rooted on stock to use pixel expert which requires the now no longer maintained LSPosed framework.

[modest beacon]

is bambulab a good 3d printer brand

[opal thunder]

They have some nice features for convenience I wouldn't have otherwise had.

[opal thunder]

I believe the devs that were maintaining the LSPosed framework were hired by Google or smth but idk for sure.

So is the Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 the next gen CPU Chip? Are they all gonna be 9000 or they all Zen 5? Currently have intel cpu (i9-10900K) and wondering what the next line of AMD CPU chips are?

[gilded quest]

At the moment, Ryzen 9000 is zen 5

Ryzen 9600x, 9700x, 9900x, and 9950x are all zen5

[fresh spruce]

[fiery moat]

hi

[tranquil yacht]

Not sure what it is, but sounds interesting.

In the meantime, I'm using LineageOS with GMS installed, but with a lot of the services ripped out of the phone.

The only thing remaining is basic Google mobile services to prevent apps from breaking (yes, I managed to nuke the Google Play Store and replace it with Aurora Store)

So far I'm quite happy with it on my motorola one action

[dull violet]

How I feel while rooting my google pixel

[tranquil yacht]

I have yet to root my Samsung A53 5G. It hates me.

https://tenor.com/view/triggered-changed-meme-gif-18419996

[opal thunder]

It's not entirely enough to completely replace play services but may possibly be able to do stuff without it depending on the application or what you're doing.

[tranquil yacht]

True, some apps will just give an angry notification while a few will just stop working.

Whoops

[strange elk]

I need a new phone.

Wanna get rid of google

[tranquil yacht]

What is your current phone?

[strange elk]

Pixel 4, but it came from Verizon

[tranquil yacht]

No root/unlocked access eh?

[strange elk]

nope.

[tranquil yacht]

Man :[

Would you like my motorola?

[strange elk]

Idk what to do at this point. I dont want a larger phone than this lmao

[pliant karma]

ah verizon my nightmare carrier lol.

[strange elk]

I never had the displeasure of using their service and still they fuck me

[pliant karma]

Never activly used it but they were being terrible with the company phones.

[tranquil yacht]

All my phones I get from totally legit sources. 💀

[strange elk]

AT&T bad as they are at least allow unlocks

[pliant karma]

costed 400$ to terminate an active contract for one of the VPs phones.

[grim belfry]

Not the worst, to be fair.

They didn't make you pay out the contract term

[ionic abyss]

wonder how expensive the seasonic nocuta edtion psu will cost

[strange elk]

ATT does

[pliant karma]

yea not the worse now mutiply that by 8 other phones

[steel marsh]

how expensive was the last limited edition sea sonic psu

[strange elk]

yes

[steel marsh]

the sakura

[grim belfry]

They should've read the contract and understood 🤷‍♂️

[pliant karma]

iphone 12/13s also haha

[grim belfry]

😈

[strange elk]

And then every US carrier sells user data

so woo

[ionic abyss]

if your the bigger party involved in a contract it more or less gets ignored when it helps you

[pliant karma]

loophole here since the phones were still under my moms old work being transffered to the new company, her old work charged the new company the bill vs them paying it.

[strange elk]

I hate having a phone, I dont even use it

[ionic abyss]

you do know the cell contract is basicaly screw you customer right?

[gilded quest]

wdym
verizon is the best

[pliant karma]

I did snag a barely used iphone 12 128gb through them unlocked sooo win win for me

[grim belfry]

No?

[gilded quest]

then get a old person phone for emergency use only

[ionic abyss]

verizon is the most expensive

[strange elk]

Ah yes I love brand

[gilded quest]

fuck verizon but I cannot argue against their coverage and reliability

whereas I can say a lot of shit about att and tmob

[strange elk]

As if I can vet fir the firmware on those things either. And Id still have a phone I only use for entering the phone number thats required for any job

[gilded quest]

so you do use your phone

[strange elk]

Id still be using a carrier

[strange elk]

Only because I literally have no other choice

[ionic abyss]

you should be on visable not verizon

[gilded quest]

you have to use it for work? have work provide a device then

[grim belfry]

I love Microsoft 🤩
I love Kaseya 🤩
I love Barracuda 🤩
I love HP 🤩
I love [Insert local carrier] 🤩

[strange elk]

Im not on Verizon. "I never had the displeasure of using their service"

[gilded quest]

and get a personal dumb phone for calling emergency services if you ever need it

[strange elk]

I use Mint mobile

[ionic abyss]

visable is basicaly verizon only cheaper

[rapid socket]

does anyone else have random discord that just dont let them join?

[gilded quest]

visible is literally verizon, but prepaid

[strange elk]

Fuck Verizon. Entirely.

[gilded quest]

i mean

[ionic abyss]

only discord i have issues with is hogwarts legacy

[sullen kiln]

hi

[gilded quest]

they have the best service

[ionic abyss]

i told the mofos to shut up and got banned

[grim belfry]

Can you guys in the US have cellular Apple Watches on a carrier other than the big 2/3?

[rapid socket]

the only one i have issues with is techsource 😭

[gilded quest]

you mean on MVNOs?

[rapid socket]

ive never even joined tho

[strange elk]

Sure in your area. But mine has never had any issues either.

[grim belfry]

Yes MVNOs. Didn't know if you called them that

[ionic abyss]

im sure the lgbt morons are still whining on the hogwarts legacy discord

[gilded quest]

I assume you can as long as they offer data only eSIMs

[steel marsh]

the mid as hell game making money for a transphobe

[rapid socket]

type shi

massive balls saying that on discord

bravo 👏

[steel marsh]

which everyone forgot about it

[strange elk]

They have a trans character in the game

[steel marsh]

money still goes to the author

[ionic abyss]

since when is there a t char in the game

[grim belfry]

Lucky, can't in Australia. Need to be on one of the big three for apple watch. The only reason I'm paying $70+/month

[strange elk]

Shes gonna use the money she already has anyway

[rapid socket]

thats how it works 😭

[steel marsh]

sue and bully people

[gilded quest]

True i can only speak to my experience

in my area/experience, verizon works best and tmobile is what you use if you don't want to be able to make calls half the time

[formal mist]

hi

[ionic abyss]

i dont care one way or the other about the lgbt mess i just had issues with being spammed constantly and the 1 hour slow mode

[strange elk]

Well.. Sprint was also our largest, which was taken up by tmobile so

[gilded quest]

Er
I meant to say if they offer data only eSIMs i believe it would work
I do not know if MVNOs offer data only eSIMs

[gilded quest]

sprint was also an L

[ionic abyss]

sprint is now tmobile

[strange elk]

Sprint kinda sucked.

[ionic abyss]

yes

i rember them

[gilded quest]

shockingly, t-mob buying sprint didn't improve their service and their prices have rose

[odd hound]

hi

[gilded quest]

whoever would have expected that to happen!

[strange elk]

Sprint doesnt even exist anymore

[ionic abyss]

they are a mobile carrier

they offer unlimited hotspot with a 50-100gb cap before it slows to speeds that make you want to be on the hyperfast dialup

[strange elk]

Literally there was a whole center for it and they rebranded it after decades of it being called the same thing. Still use the old name.

[gilded quest]

lmao

how's dish network's 5g rollout going

[grim belfry]

It seems so strange to have caps on mobile hotspot lmao

[strange elk]

And I only use maybe 4 gigs a month, if that.

[rapid socket]

ive never heard of half of these providers

are these american companies?

[strange elk]

You might be too young.

[ionic abyss]

so your saying my average of 3tb per month total usage is unfair

[strange elk]

Ye american as well

[rapid socket]

mmm no

[rapid socket]

oh maybe thats why

[grim belfry]

For mobile you'd have to be violating the fair use policy, surely

[rapid socket]

im not american

[gilded quest]

https://www.dishwireless.com/home/discover
amazingly this seems to have gone nowhere

[gilded quest]

yes

[strange elk]

Idk how young you gotta be to not know of sprint yet here

[gilded quest]

I learned of twitter from an old Sprint ad

[ionic abyss]

fair use is what they dont catch you doing

[rapid socket]

sprint aint a thing in canada

[ionic abyss]

i wont say how i found a way to do unlimited hotspot at 100mbs so att cant tell its not on device usage

[rapid socket]

not where im from anyways

[gilded quest]

i am an att lawyer

[strange elk]

Essentially we had 4, now we have 3 major carriers after sprint was absorbed. A lot of sub branches but all using the same networks.

[rapid socket]

hmm

very cool 😎

[gilded quest]

we had a lot more 20 years ago

[strange elk]

Fuckin.. Vontage... Cingular

[gilded quest]

Cingular is the new AT&T

[strange elk]

lmaO

[rapid socket]

is shaw a thing in America?

[gilded quest]

no

[rapid socket]

ah

[strange elk]

I kinda miss it, played NFS MW and they "use cingular" as their network. Def a throwback

[ionic abyss]

mobile providers have improved some lately

[strange elk]

haha

[ionic abyss]

the term ullimited has been twisted so badly its not the same word that is in the english laungage

[strange elk]

Oh yeah thats basically never been a thing lmao

[gilded quest]

uhhh

I had a truly unlimited verizon plan 12 years ago

[rapid socket]

this good?

[gilded quest]

I think I was using 80-100gb of LTE a month in 2013

[strange elk]

No shit? I guess I wouldnt know tbh

I was under the impression that that was basically always a lie

[gilded quest]

unthrottled

[pure knoll]

A month?

In 2013?

[gilded quest]

they offered unlimited during the 3g days when it would have been difficult to use more than 50gb in amonth

[pure knoll]

Impressive.

[strange elk]

Truly though

[pure knoll]

Exactly

[strange elk]

Nonstop downloads

[gilded quest]

I had the first 1080p phone and youtube and hd netflix

[pure knoll]

And files were relatively shitty quality but it compression was shit back then

[gilded quest]

but the plan didn't have hotspot which became pretty annoying as the years went on

[pure knoll]

Still pretty good

[gilded quest]

also verizon was able to raise prices on us after like 4-5 years

[pure knoll]

What's the price?

[gilded quest]

we switched off of that plan in 2016 or 2017?

when we signed up it was like $35/month per line

[pure knoll]

No I mean back then srry

[pure knoll]

Not bad ngl

[gilded quest]

I think verizon was trying to get people off of the plan in 2018 and was able to raise the prices to like $70 a month i heard
can't verify that tho

hm
we probably switched off it in 2016?

[tranquil yacht]

Beautiful

[pure knoll]

https://rocketmobile.co.nz/plans/

This is pretty good right?

[tranquil yacht]

IDK if it's just procebo, but the phone seems to be running smoother than before.

[pure knoll]

Wtf is that time layout sorry for the ques

[tranquil yacht]

Oh yeah, punch hole selfie cam

[grim belfry]

Is One NZ usable?

Because Vodafone AU sure ain't

[pure knoll]

80/Mo compared to 25/Mo ngl

[grim belfry]

It's cheap. But can't really leave the CBD :(

[pure knoll]

Oh yeah no worries that's why

[pure knoll]

First 3mo but 40 aint bad either

One NZ has decent NZ coverage

Pretty sure spark or 2deg is best

[alpine gale]

Oof. Embarrassing. (Their "data is set to a maximum download speed as per your month to month plan" tiny text in the banner just below the View Plans button is exposing the structure of their hosting.) Perfect.

[pure knoll]

Lmao

Wondering whose major cell towers they hitching lmao

[grim belfry]

oh god

[pure knoll]

What's bad abt that just technically?

[grim belfry]

:)

[pure knoll]

Bruh wtd

Scam maybe then lmao honwstly

[alpine gale]

Well, aside from looking very unprofessional, the more you make obvious about the structure of your online service, the faster (read: faster != easier if you secure it correctly) people might be able to exploit it.

Na fr any1 know any cheap unlimited data plans in NZ idrc the speed

[grim belfry]

@grim belfry Massive respect bro

[grim belfry]

You're most welcome.

[manic torrent]

I've been downloading ram for so many years. It's this one special trick they don't want you to know

[grim belfry]

PC manufacturers do NOT want you to know about that website

[alpine gale]

Are you downloading regular RAM or dedodated WAM?

[manic torrent]

Two step process - download the ram, then dedodate it

[alpine gale]

Oh damn, why didn't I think of that? And here I've been downloading fully dedodated WAM over my internet this whole time. Probably why the internet has been so slow lately.

[vapid smelt]

but i need ECC RAM

[sonic spruce]

oof

i got a simple monitor question if anyone can help me

[grim belfry]

https://dontasktoask.com

[sonic spruce]

well no, its cuz english sucks as a language and i need help with just yes or no?

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-19-monitor-e1916h/apd/210-agne/monitors-monitor-accessories

can i use any vesa mount or no?

[fervent fossil]

Ram is ram, no matter what people say. Download ram from the internet and make sure it has malware, it’s super good for the computer

[sonic spruce]

lol

[sonic spruce]

do i need a specific size or no?

[grim belfry]

99% of vesa mounts on amazon will be compatible

[potent cedar]

you can also get adapters

[sonic spruce]

thx

[alpine gale]

okay okay the crazy red circling of things isn't funny anymore, I'll go to bed. 🤣

[sonic spruce]

wdym?

[sonic spruce]

sorry

[grim belfry]

It gave me a chuckle dw

[alpine gale]

no no you're fine @sonic spruce. I'm just waaaaay too tired cause I do this kind of thing all day at work. 😄

[sonic spruce]

ok, ill look for one that isnt a dell oem one then

[grim belfry]

Yeah don't get a Dell mount if you're buying that monitor

[alpine gale]

Some of the mounts that come with Dell's higher end / business monitors are half decent, but yeah, anything in the lower end is gonna be... "you get what you pay for" territory.

[sonic spruce]

well no, its cuz i have 2 extra

[grim belfry]

The mounts that house a nuc in them are nice too

[fervent fossil]

I need sleep, currently 3:30 for me 😅

[alpine gale]

I almost bought one of those 24inch monitors that do exactly that - house Dell's custom NUC-like business computer. DellRefurbished.ca was selling the NUC for $175 CAD and the monitor for $99 CAD during holiday 2023. Decided to go with a refurb Optiplex 7400 AiO Touch for $750 CAD instead.

[manic torrent]

You can also make adapters

[shadow plank]

cool

[potent cedar]

why does the power brick have two plugs going into it

[manic torrent]

It's not a power brick, it's an LED controller

[potent cedar]

ah right

[wild condor]

well ekwb disappoints once again

[pure knoll]

unraid or proxmox guys?

[wild condor]

order for the watercooling premix got delayed by a month

[shut lichen]

two entirely different use-cases

[pure knoll]

perform basically the same functions tho

im leaning with proxmox because its good for containerization

and u can actually use the terminal

besides ive always ysed it

nvm there is cmd for unraid

[manic torrent]

everything runs on command line, really.

[pure knoll]

i need a decend cmd implimentation if ima be using a server ngl

people say just virtualize truenas or unraid inside of proxmox (what im doing rn) and is that a viable solution for a nas?

[manic torrent]

yes

[pure knoll]

aight

but will i need to passthru everydisk or is it already passed in qemu

do i just pass thru the pcie backplane?

im sorry my rackserver isnt running rn as u can see but im trying to get an idea here

[manic torrent]

... yes. you can do it any way you like

If you have your disks on a controller that's dedicated for storage, best thing to do is passthrough the controller

[upbeat crater]

I use debian

if you need vm, you can install libvirt to manage that

[fossil frost]

they are two different things that are targetting two different use cases

[pure knoll]

Prox.ox makes it 50x easier

[pure knoll]

Ok I might go proxmox and just set up samba and raid manually

I can set up raid on the actual panel right of prox?

[upbeat crater]

depending on your needs then, i simply use debian because i do not need vm to host my stuff

[pure knoll]

Yeah that's cool too, I kinda enjoy tinkering to the max and attempting to push to the limits / achieve low recourse usage

[upbeat crater]

and my server doesnt have a powerful cpu with enough core to share among vm's

[upbeat crater]

i dont think debian would use up that much resource compared to proxmox since they technically in the same family tree

proxmox is based on debian btw

[pure knoll]

I have 2socket 💀💀💀

[pure knoll]

Yeah but lxc are hard

[upbeat crater]

but if you need gui panel for managing stuff, go for prox then

[modest beacon]

just pirated an indie game. felt good

[pure knoll]

Man enjoy ur ban

[upbeat crater]

i think u can get away with this with libvirt + cocktail

libvirt = vm manager, cocktail = a webgui to manage your server

[pure knoll]

Fair, I will stick to proxmox though since I have 2 clusters, I would use debian root if it was necessary ig

[pure knoll]

I ain't aloud to yap abt piracy here but let's just say that robbing a solo dev is worse than robbing a AAA greedy corpo

[manic torrent]

Two sockets of what, lol.

[shut lichen]

dual 775s 😉

[manic torrent]

My server is a 5600X, plenty of power for most stuff.

[upbeat crater]

i think he meant 2 sockets for cpu

[shut lichen]

duh, he meant what sockets/cpus

[manic torrent]

Yes, what CPUs.

[upbeat crater]

pentium cpu from 90s

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/880043763211325450.gif?v=1&size=40

[manic torrent]

Nope, they weren't dual socket, you needed a pentium pro

[upbeat crater]

it's a joke

[manic torrent]

That's no reason to be wrong!
Dual Celeron 300A @ 450mhz would be a better reference.

[upbeat crater]

erm, whatever, it's still slow

[manic torrent]

Much more realistically it's likely a dual Xeon with... The same or less total computing power than my 5600X, with a much much larger power and noise overhead.

[pliant leaf]

I can finally post this after getting access to the beta

[pure knoll]

Xeon e5649

[pure knoll]

Yea but I got the whole server (HP storageworks p4300 G2) for 130usd

[cloud igloo]

Hi

[modest beacon]

i wasnt serious

[burnt void]

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars

[thin fjord]

real?

[pliant leaf]

Unironically real

I have a friend in the valve modding scene and a guy he wanted to give the beta invite to didn't want it because "muh old valve dead"

[thin fjord]

can't believe valve is unironically making another game with the state of cs2

[pliant leaf]

Talk to the cs2 team

Valve employees can't really be forced to work on something, everyone does what they want

[thin fjord]

so i've heard

[pliant leaf]

What's even the problem with cs2

[thin fjord]

valve's refusal to activate any sort of anti cheat

[pliant leaf]

Does VAC not work

[thin fjord]

it's disabled

[pliant leaf]

That is.. weird

[thin fjord]

overwatch's backend is on but no one has access

[pliant leaf]

Have they ever said why

[thin fjord]

the consensus is that they're trying to train vac-live with demos of players that have been reported i think

but that's unconfirmed

pretty much the only people getting banned are those with cheats that are sorely outdated

but valve have a very employee-first atmosphere right?

like the devs get to start new projects even if it doesn't necessarily go anywhere?

[tidal dragon]

hi, I'm here for the Linus Law Tips

[torn lichen]

Sorry. Only Linus Medical Tips given out here

[tidal dragon]

Unlucky, since I was doing tools to draw and improve cooperation in gaming (which sometimes is conisdered against ToS even though it doesn't read or write game files like ESP radars)

I wanted to know the linus law tips to avoid jailtime

[torn lichen]

Tip: don't drop your soap

[tidal dragon]

rikzy soap tips

[craggy rose]

Dont know If It is ocd or some kind of intrusive thought stuff, but my brain just keep remembering certain situations and I keep hearing over and over those voices of people that I know

It hurts

[tidal dragon]

medical sardin tips, that sounds like epilepsy, OCD is more compulsive, like you always keep thinking about the same picture of an apple when you think of apples

no tech pun intended

[craggy rose]

I've had some symptoms of epilepsy in the past, nothing like this

[tidal dragon]

epilepsy is strongly linked with dejavu feelings and loss of reality

and when it's intense you can have auditory allucinations

you should check with a doctor, it could go from something trival up to brain cancer

[craggy rose]

Yeeeah, I really should

[tidal dragon]

yeah do it

[craggy rose]

Started to happen a while ago and it's just getting more frequent, there's also this urge to hit myself, sometimes I do and it stops for a while

Today is especially bad

I'm going out to a walk

Sya

[tidal dragon]

go to a doctor and be clear if it's associated to emotional events in your life, so that the doctor can tell if there are psychological factors at play

cya

[craggy rose]

Thank you

[tidal dragon]

np, always use academic authority, youtube is a cesspool for information.

[craggy rose]

Yeah

[tidal dragon]

[jaunty cove]

linus I can't keep defending u

[nova violet]

Let's say both mice are free but you can only pick one (you can't resell it), which one would you pick for mainly productivity and light gaming (candy crush and some fps games)

[quaint mural]

Supp

[grim belfry]

MX Master 3 or Keychron M6

[nova violet]

why not the razer

[near nymph]

Probably keychron. Cuz razer

[grim belfry]

1. Razer
2. It’s a gaming mouse

[nova violet]

what if brand and durability does not matter

I'm in an actual situation

[grim belfry]

The Keychron, or MX Master

[manic torrent]

I would not buy a razor product.

[near nymph]

Keychron still. It's not the brand I have the issue with... Well actually it is. Their products in general are SHIT

[nova violet]

I see

so if i have a basilisk ultimate now

[near nymph]

Almost every Razer laptop that LMG gave one Christmas. Almost all of them were RMAed

[nova violet]

which i have been using for 3 years, should i change to the keychron mouse

[manic torrent]

My mxm3 is great, it's only in some gaming that I wish it had more resolution

[nova violet]

my razer mouse is pretty much worn off

[manic torrent]

For my desktop I use the g502x with a power play mat

[nova violet]

also, the scroll wheel on my basilisk doesn't work anymore

[grim belfry]

A good mouse will last longer than 3 years

[tidal dragon]

[grim belfry]

Avoid buying the same shitty product a second time

[nova violet]

Or 3rd option

Should I simply wash the scroll wheel by disassembling it

cuz its an optical scrfoll wheel, prob dust blocking the sensor

[tidal dragon]

I can't change mouse type if I don't find something as heavy and big as the G 502

it just makes my hand hurt

it's like shoes, you don't buy them online, you test them, then buy hoping it's comfortable for long sessions

[near nymph]

Unless it's a Logitech. Then it'll probably start double clicking for some reason

[grim belfry]

I’ve had my mxm3 since early 2020, still going strong

[languid flower]

hello

[near nymph]

My Logitech started double clicking. Recently I switched the switches out to fix it. 😂

[misty night]

hi!

[tranquil yacht]

Huh? How old is it?

[tranquil yacht]

LMAO, this:

[river solstice]

My keychron m3 is the best Mouse i have ever had. I had a g pro x before

[jaunty cove]

is that a rgb software or sum

[tranquil yacht]

Custom ROM for Android phones.

Yeah... Some phones don't let you do that.

I managed to find the Samsung A52 5G, but not the A53

Guess my phone is too new.

[jaunty cove]

wats da rom do?

[tranquil yacht]

Basically phone's OS

[jaunty cove]

is there a showcase video

[tranquil yacht]

Most common use case for LineageOS I see are extending the lift of your phone (in terms of software updates) and DeGoogling.

[tranquil yacht]

There should never plenty of videos on YT on it, but I can fetch one for you.

[jaunty cove]

I would like a rom where new apps download to the first available spot and not make a whole new page

[tranquil yacht]

https://youtu.be/JXzunTc_NHA

[tranquil yacht]

I think that's a settings things.

[jaunty cove]

nah I'm cooked

[tranquil yacht]

If Lineage not for you, there are other ROMs available.

There's even Ubuntu for mobile.

[jaunty cove]

so y is lineage ur choice

[tranquil yacht]

TBH, it's the only custom ROM that supports my Motorola one action and it has a pretty decent installation guide. Even better is there's a fork of it with microG which makes sure most apps that rely on Google Play Services and stuff don't break.

The hardest part is getting my phone unlocked. Big companies don't want you leaving their ecosystem

https://tenor.com/view/lukeafk-hacking-hacker-man-omegle-troll-gif-26094720

But it's worth it.

[strange elk]

For me that was the easy part

Kinda

[tranquil yacht]

Nice

Yeah, for some reason Motorola deleted the final unlocking step from their website. Weird....

[strange elk]

It was a bit annoying at AT&T. But that was an iphone

Pixel 4 is carrier unlocked

Not bootloader

[tranquil yacht]

iPhone

[strange elk]

It was an SE, chill

[marble pilot]

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/windows_build.html

i have no idea why i have the sudden urge to compile firefox

[strange elk]

Also jailbroke it

Jailbreaking an iPhone SE was easier than getting a custom ROM on the pixel 4 from Verizon

[craggy rose]

Banking apps work?

[severe gate]

Hi

[mortal heath]

hey guys i have a query

i have a potato laptop so i was wondering if i should install Linux Mint or Ubuntu on it

[craggy rose]

At least you can do it on any android device

[mortal heath]

but my question is if i do install it on the SSD which is in my laptop, can i still plug it in my PC and also use it as a Storage device (not using the linux)

[tranquil yacht]

That's a very good question. I have yet to test it on LineageOS (microG edition) with the BMO app. I'll update you on the result. In theory, some bank apps may work while others might fail.

[craggy rose]

I've tried with magisk hide but didn't work

Using gapps

Also have a Motorola

[tranquil yacht]

LineageOS doesn't use Magisk (I think)

[craggy rose]

G8 plus

You can install it

I'm just more comfortable with it

Tried with pixel experience too a while ago, didn't work

Also I've recovered a bricked moto g7 plus

It was such a pain

Had to probe the board and find a blankflash file

[tranquil yacht]

Woah... 👀 Impressive

[strange elk]

Do what?

[craggy rose]

Nah, now it's easier

[tranquil yacht]

Wish I can do that.

[strange elk]

Get a custom ROM? I only wish I could on these cheaper phones, and this bootloader locked one.

[craggy rose]

If you want to do it, just delete the A and B slot

[craggy rose]

You should be able to

[craggy rose]

And by deleting, I mean literally erasing the partition

[strange elk]

I should be able to with a locked bootloader?

[craggy rose]

You should be able to unlock the bootloader

[strange elk]

Well I can't :/ there were sploits for older pixels but they don't exist anymore

[craggy rose]

Oh

It's carrier locked?

[strange elk]

No.

[craggy rose]

You can do it

[strange elk]

I'm on mint mobile, but the phone came from Verizon who locks the bootloader and encrypts it.

[craggy rose]

Hmmm

[strange elk]

I mean you're welcome to help me try but I've looked into this for weeks.

Recently and a year and a half ago

[craggy rose]

I'm not familiar with pixels but, they should have a debugging state Wich is outside the device's Os, of Wich you can inject files and boot into them temporarily

[strange elk]

I couldnt do anything in the bootloader really

[marble pilot]

do i have enough browsers

[craggy rose]

And then you can proceed to downgrade the OS then do the standard process

[craggy rose]

Oh

[strange elk]

Yeah no bootloader was the second thing I tried after that switch which is grayed out.

Tried updating, I cant downgrade which I thought I COULD do before upgrading but I guess not

[craggy rose]

It still exists

[strange elk]

Ofc. I just cant interact with it because the bootloader is locked.

[craggy rose]

So it is carrier locked

[strange elk]

Again no.

I'm using mint mobile. I've had to say that 3 times now lmao.

[craggy rose]

[strange elk]

Its bootloader locked by the carrier but its carrier unlocked.

So I can use it on AT&T if I wanted. (or a T-Mobile carrier in this case)

But I can't decrypt the bootloader in order to flash something else. It only supports OTA which.. Isn't supported anymore. because its old

[craggy rose]

That's weird, I do not live in the USA, so I'm not really sure of how to proceed

[strange elk]

They dont want unauthorized software interfering with the network or whatever their excuse is.

[craggy rose]

Yeeah

Haven't seen anything like that before

Don't know, could look more into it after

[strange elk]

https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/232947/what-can-be-done-with-a-phone-that-has-an-encrypted-bootloader

[craggy rose]

Never saw a bootloader encrypted by a carrier that allows you to use other carriers

It's typically both, but alright

Will look more into it

[strange elk]

Idk man. I just got it off amazon and hated myself.

[craggy rose]

[strange elk]

As "unlocked, refurbished"

[craggy rose]

Ohhhh

That might give me a clue

Hmmmm

Weird

[cosmic copper]

Wrong thumbnail YouTube

[tranquil yacht]

[craggy rose]

I can't send you a dm

[strange elk]

I dont allow DMS from this server

[stoic sparrow]

normal for a pc on just idle? i think my ram needs upgrading

[craggy rose]

Well, if are willing to brick your phone, I would love to help

[stoic sparrow]

im on single din 8gb ram 2600

Thinking of upgrading to 64gb

[strange elk]

Its my daily driver, so I mind a little bit at least lol.

If youve got a post that can lead me in the right direction id be happy to look through it anyway

[umbral jackal]

A little high for 8GB, but then again, I consider 16GB the minimum nowadays
Definitely should get more
Though 64GB is a little overkill, depending on what you do

[stoic sparrow]

Photoshop, video editing, vscode

[stoic sparrow]

Its on single din, and I get a lot of frame drops during games.

Fortnite goes up to 160 and then keeps going up and down to 80

im legit watching it now opened two tabs on chrome and my ram just spiked to 92..

[umbral jackal]

Yeah, then definitely get at least 32GB
Go for either 2x16GB or 2x32GB
That way you can add more down the line, and your memory controller will probably be happier

[stoic sparrow]

if i go 64 will that be bad?

lol even tryna type on this thing is lagging

i have a 1660 6gb and a ryzen 5 2600 shoudlnt be doing this shit

[umbral jackal]

No
Just more expensive
I just don't know if you'll use that much RAM
I have 64GB, and do Blender/Substance Painter stuff, and rarely get near 64GB

[stoic sparrow]

the lag spikes are the ram right?

if fortnite is getting to 160? i should be capable of that throughout gameplay right?

or just a little bit under

[soft musk]

I would say 64gb of ram on a r5 2600 is a huge overkill

[stoic sparrow]

im planning on upgrading my cpu tho

[umbral jackal]

Well if you're out of memory, games have to use the pagefile, which is SUPER slow
So when the CPU needs to pull data from "memory" it has a huge latency hit, causing frame drops

[stoic sparrow]

ah so it would be wise to run fortnite and monitor ram usage during the gameplay

if ram usage gets to 100 when its lag spiking my ram is the cause?

[umbral jackal]

Monitoring would be pointless
I can already tell you right now that 8GB isn't enough

[stoic sparrow]

alr bet

t force a good brand?

[umbral jackal]

Yeah, they're fine

[stoic sparrow]

3600MHZ is the max on a ryzen 5 2600?

[umbral jackal]

2933MHz

[stoic sparrow]

brother ew

[umbral jackal]

My 2700X couldn't go any higher than that either

[umbral jackal]

Speed isn't everything
You can get a 3200/3600 kit, but run it at 2933MHz CL14 (or even 13)

Latency do be important

[stoic sparrow]

ill prob get 3600 im prob upgrading down in the line next month

[harsh quartz]

On just idle it shouldn’t be anywhere near this

[stoic sparrow]

i suspected

also frame drops are killing me

[strange elk]

idk why I read that entire verizon thread but I did https://community.verizon.com/t5/Google/Pixel-OEM-Unlocking-Support/td-p/1153573/

[harsh quartz]

I’m on less than 11gb and I’m running teams, outlook, 20 chrome tabs, 2 remote sessions, and some notepads for good measure :p

[strange elk]

Zen(+) was definitely relevant at some point

[stoic sparrow]

lets hope the ram helps

[umbral jackal]

Yeah, my old laptop with 8GB usually hovers around 4-6GB on idle

[strange elk]

Did you pay for Winrar?

[stoic sparrow]

PFTT NO

[strange elk]

Ok good. Try out Peazip kekw

(I mostly ask because I had a friend that did lmaO)

Almost said might try out using linux, but roblox aint gonna allow that lmao.

[harsh quartz]

That’s an incentive

[strange elk]

No an incentive is league not working.

[harsh quartz]

Laptops are usually gonna be higher unless they have a dgpu with enough vram

[harsh quartz]

Both are good

[umbral jackal]

Yeah, that's partially my point
They have a GPU, and yet they are still using more memory on idle than my laptop

[strange elk]

How many chrome tabs you got open

and discord is just another chrome window

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and I told you what I have open and I’m not even at 11gb. Although they did say idle and they’re clearly not idle

[umbral jackal]

Point is, 8GB is too low for anything other than basic browsing nowadays

[strange elk]

Im using 7 gigs, 32gb installed, 7 firefox tabs, discord, schildichat, steam, a video downloader thats ran all night on vid 5.2k..

[umbral jackal]

I'm using 7.1GB with just Discord open
But then again, I'm on 64GB

[hollow plinth]

anybody know anything about air conditioners because i mightve broken something.

[umbral jackal]

That I do not, sorry

[strange elk]

Search for the "all-things repair" discord, they might be able to help.

[hollow plinth]

thank you how will i pay u

[strange elk]

Not here to be paid

[tidal dragon]

btw internet is also a service so if you don't follow ToS of your internet provider when making your product it means you can be criminalized if its only purpose is to break ToS based on recent Linus Law Tips

which means if VPNs are against ToS, all VPN providers would be criminalized

I understand that linus gets +reputation by sounding like a gamer

but he really shouldn't give law tips

[strange elk]

They would be against ToS which would allow the company to deny service. That's really all they can do.

[tidal dragon]

yes, that's a good law as it is now

[strange elk]

Also they wouldn't ban VPNs in the US, a lot of infra relies on them.

[tidal dragon]

https://youtu.be/4kqG7mCo4Aw

I was just following the logic of the Linus Law Tips in the video of "Cheating is Ruining Gaming – Are Lawsuits the Answer"

[digital eagle]

hi

[tidal dragon]

You are degrading and destroying the functionality of someone else's product if you are breaking ToS of a future VPN, where the service is provided so that other users benefit from knowing your location for example

everything Linus said about cheat providers, can be said to me (because I am making maps to have people interact, without writing or reading game files)

and it can be said to anything

if what defines the law is the Terms of Service

the ToS is described by a private company

so it's easily manipulated

I can come up with a 1000 examples that would allow a company to crush another company because that company is allowing some users not to respect the ToS

[harsh quartz]

I’m surprised that 7 firefox tabs isn’t taking 10gb on its own

[strange elk]

Scroll down a little to see what I've got open

I disagree with the fact that it was a copyright issue. It was a security issue, with no legitimate purpose other than causing problems for others.

I agree more with Luke on this point. But Linus is right on the fact that it requires knowledge for this sort of thing. But this case has gone on for years now.

[ionic abyss]

My bank fkd up mlgiving me a replacement debit card

[harsh quartz]

I’m still surprised, Firefox likes to chug ram in my experience

[ionic abyss]

Same cvv same expiration

Never deactivated the old card

[strange elk]

I run secure, don't use any of their extra services.

[ionic abyss]

One $50 gamestop purchase and 1 day after new card I have to get a new card

[strange elk]

Like 5 extensions but 2 serve to reduce traffic.

[ionic abyss]

I made no gamestop purchase

I hadn't even activated the credit part

[harsh quartz]

I just run an OOBE firefox with advertising ID and stuff disabled, no extensions or extras, and it loves to eat ram more than my chrome does

[tidal dragon]

hello I am apple, tracking your information allows us to give everyone a better service, if you break your warranty with an external tool that's against the ToS, a kind of ToS that harms our users

therefore your company is a criminal, see the problem now?

[ionic abyss]

Big Oops don't cover this mistake

[tidal dragon]

LInus should REALLY not give law advice.

[harsh quartz]

Was the the lawsuit civil or criminal?

Because I believe it was civil, in which cause it’s valid

[tidal dragon]

the one mentioned in the linus video or my imaginary lawsuit?

[deep fern]

rules channel update?

[sage quiver]

No?

[summer folio]

When? Latest WAN show? What time stamp

[tidal dragon]

yeah I know we're going in that direction and legalizing "you will own nothing and you will be happy" kinda meme. I am sure laws can be valid somewhere, it's certainly worked in that case

[deep fern]

oh it was lit up white in channel list like there was a new message

[summer folio]

Life is more than just money

[harsh quartz]

From what I’m reading it seems to be a lawsuit based on copyright violations, not TOS violations. I don’t remeber Linus’s rant but that’s not what the actual case was

[summer folio]

Money does not make you happy

[tidal dragon]

I am referring to Linus rant, not that specific case.

[harsh quartz]

Money takes a lot of the strifes away tho, ain’t gotta worry about survival anymore

[summer folio]

Just be born in the Nordics

Spawn location diff

[harsh quartz]

Then you’re whining about a brick wall that won’t move.

[tidal dragon]

Linus rant promoted pushing against with law any service that breaks ToS as long the only thing the service can do is break that ToS in a way that harms costumers.
The problem is that the company would have a say on how costumers are harmed and obviously what the ToS is.

[harsh quartz]

Ahh yes, the far north, well known for its extremely easy survivability for all of history

[tidal dragon]

He either didn't think it through or he is strongly against rights for repair

[summer folio]

Extremely hard life for the longest of time, hence why Sweds that did'nt make the cut here took the boat to USA/Minnesota/North Dakota

Gotta survive the winter 🫡

[harsh quartz]

No, because firstly this was a jury trial, and you can’t say that had no relevance because it’s what the rant was based around. Jurors decided what hurt the consumer, not the company. Also, regulations are in place for a reason. The argument your making takes no context into account

[harsh quartz]

Yeah and that’s what the moneys for

[summer folio]

I obviously meant recent/modern timez, so like last 100 years

[tidal dragon]

I highly doubt the rant was in the context of the details of the trial as I find it hard to believe that Linus in his spare time studies law and or read the details of that trial.

[harsh quartz]

Mhmm

[tidal dragon]

I think, quite honestly, the rant was about the general ideas without considering the implications

[harsh quartz]

They literally talked about the fuckin trial on the wan show, and no, he doesn’t know the in and outs of American law, and you probably don’t either

[summer folio]

American law is a joke

[harsh quartz]

Either way, it’s a Linus rant, saying he’s wrong in one is like calling eggshell white

[harsh quartz]

American law only benefits lawyers :p

[summer folio]

Imagine having jurys, rofl

[tidal dragon]

they talked vaguely about the trial, not the details of it

[harsh quartz]

Why does it matter to you

[tidal dragon]

I am perfectly confident I do not know law, because I have a family of lawyers and I know exactly how complicated it is to form an opinon on the laws

which is why, I'm here, to make fanboys aware that I appreciated the Linus Law Tips

[harsh quartz]

No, it’s complicated to form the laws, it’s very very easy to form an opinion on the laws

[harsh quartz]

If you want Linus fanboys, this probably isn’t the place for that :p

[summer folio]

They have #Floatplane surely

I'm a Riley fanboy

The lack of Riley emotes here is disturbing

[tidal dragon]

it's very easy to form an uneducated opinion of a law sure, I agree

it's my bad for assuming we are more or less intelligent the same, maybe you could have formed a better opinion than me, so obviously my experience with how hard it is to follow the implications of a law

might actually be me being stupid at quantifying

this is not sarcasm

I cannot tell if I'm stupid, if I am

I go to an arts college and the manager basically said I was the only person that actually knows about tech stuff so it’ll be a good change of pace lmao
But the network engineer said they might need help as well

[harsh quartz]

I keep trying to get a job at a college

[fresh sorrel]

Check on their actual websites not job listing sites

[harsh quartz]

Man I been trying everywhere, it’s like I need a 4 year degree to even be considered and not just immediate thrown out

[fresh sorrel]

yeah fair

[harsh quartz]

I’ve got a help desk job at present but it’s miserable and doesn’t pay well

[fresh sorrel]

do you have any certs

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but a+ doesn’t get shit anymore, gotta have net and security and server and intune and azure

[strange elk]

Was banking on a+ for years but idk if I even want to be in the field anymore.

[harsh quartz]

It’s hilarious hearing it professionals “yeah I got my a+ 20 years ago, it’ll never expire and I’m set for life, but I expect you to have a+, get net+ in your first year, and here’s all these Microsoft certs we also require, and you have to keep them all up to date”

I just read all of that and I literally have no idea what you are talking about

[craggy rose]

Expected

Also, lineageOS sometimes get weird with some other non google services, might take a look into trusted credentials settings

[tranquil yacht]

Location services is fairly easy to spoof. You just need to enable Mozilla thing in the microG app

[craggy rose]

Didn't know that

[solemn axle]

banking apps should work out of the box unless you are using magisk

[tranquil yacht]

I'm planning to test it later.

[craggy rose]

I've never been able to enable safety net with or without magisk

[tranquil yacht]

Wish BMO app provided NFC support....

[craggy rose]

Safety net?

Wait

[tranquil yacht]

Otherwise, PayPal it is :[

[solemn axle]

btw, it is possible to make it work, I used Zygisk with LSPosed for that

[solemn axle]

also lsposed allowed for fake gapps

[tranquil yacht]

I remember seeing that setting in the microG app. I have it disabled for now since IDK what it does.

[craggy rose]

Just enables some other google services

Typically banking apps

[tranquil yacht]

Some sort of intergerty thing?

[craggy rose]

Yeah, like the Google play integrity I think

[solemn axle]

you have to pass its testing, basically it is a way to prove they you don't have root

[tranquil yacht]

I'll leave it disabled. If my bank app gets mad, I'll try turning it on.

[solemn axle]

it probably will

unless you live in russia or china

[craggy rose]

Like the nano gapps?

Fake gapps

[solemn axle]

rather a way to spoof app ids on lineageos

[craggy rose]

Interesting

[craggy rose]

Alright

[solemn axle]

Unless you are using Lineage OS For MicroG, Lineage OS doesn't support signature spoofings

so, that's why i used LSPosed

maybe it is possible to do with riru

[tranquil yacht]

I'm using LineageOS with microG. :]

[solemn axle]

"Lineage OS For MicroG" fork?

[tranquil yacht]

Da

[craggy rose]

My knowledge is really outdated about those things

Good to know

[solemn axle]

mine aren't new either, i just had to deal with it a year ago because of Nokia bricking their phones with updates

[craggy rose]

I've bricked a Samsung a20 because of a random update lol

Didn't even know it was possible, automatic updates get disabled once you root the device

[solemn axle]

oh, they don't allow you to unlock the device

[craggy rose]

They do

[solemn axle]

(Nokia)

[craggy rose]

Oh, sorry

[solemn axle]

but one of their old updates got it unlocked accidentally that they have got patched in a day

so it was rather a matter of downgrading using their signed rom to unlock the phone

[tranquil yacht]

By some miracle, the BMO App works.

[tranquil yacht]

However, IDK about the others

[craggy rose]

At least they didn't disable that

[solemn axle]

I mean, they can't

[craggy rose]

Lol

[solemn axle]

how do you unsign a file that got online accidentally

[craggy rose]

It probably doesn't rely on Google safety net thingy

[tranquil yacht]

True

Let me try RBC

[craggy rose]

I mean, downgraded the actual os, but yeah they can't do much

Like locking the bootloader

[craggy rose]

Also, it's not that straight forward actually, sometimes it doesn't work to unlock the app, it doesn't trust the password, neither the fingerprint

It doesn't even let your face get scanned

Don't know if it is a Brasil thing but yeah

[silver sun]

161

[tranquil yacht]

Uhhhhhh about that... Biometrics still works for BMO and RBC.

[craggy rose]

Well, alright then

[tranquil yacht]

I guess BMO and RBC don't use Google's $h!t.

Or maybe microG is spoofing some other stuff in the background

[craggy rose]

So it's not really a thing in the US

Oh well

🫠

[tranquil yacht]

I did some more digging and I finally found an issue: security notification

If you want to confirm a login from a mobile app, you'll likely need the integrity thing.

[tepid herald]

anyone here know what supplier Philips uses for their OLED TV's? I know the QD-OLED monitors are samsung but I am not sure about the TV's

[tranquil yacht]

RN, I'm trying to resolve it by relocking the bootloader

Unfortunately that killed the warranty bit.

[solemn axle]

if you have a magisk app some applications may be triggered by it even with magiskhide

also safety net

[tranquil yacht]

I'm using LineageOS with microG

Yeah, I'm trying to get the SafetyNet up and running.

[eager notch]

I had gotten used to my phone just constantly locking up (at least twice a day) and having to hard reset it but I just got a new to me phone and holy cow I didn't realize how much more annoying it actually was than I thought

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPV_Technology

" It owns brands such as AOC, Envision, and Philips for some products (TPV obtained the brand name of Philips from Koninklijke Philips N.V.). It is also an original design manufacturer for other companies.[9]"

[tranquil yacht]

LMAO, locking the bootloader makes the phone unbootable.

[solemn axle]

mf

[tranquil yacht]

Uhhhhh....

[tardy terrace]

lol you're fucked

[harsh quartz]

Were you signed in with a Microsoft account?

[solemn axle]

The funniest thing: keys are present in the tpm and it is unlocked fine

[tranquil yacht]

Not really, at least I still have access to fastboot and my phone is those weird one with a lockable/unlockable loader

[solemn axle]

Linux does unlock itself

[tardy terrace]

tpm =/= bitlocker

[tranquil yacht]

Yeah, no locking the bootloader so SafetyNet is fucked.

[solemn axle]

I have all keys backed up, but on my computer at home without internet

[solemn axle]

bitlocker keys are stored in tpm module

same as luks

oh

it booted&unlocked this time

[harsh quartz]

Kek

[solemn axle]

windows™️

[harsh quartz]

In typical windows fashion, it wanted to give you a hard time for no reason

[solemn axle]

good thing i don't store anything really important on windows drive in one copy

[tranquil yacht]

Guess most banking apps will work, just some security stuff are ####ed

[solemn axle]

you should be able to pass safety net without locking

[tranquil yacht]

Got any clue on how?

Cuz I'm stumped now.

[solemn axle]

do you have all checkmarks in microg self-check signed?

especially "gmscore has correct signature"

[tranquil yacht]

Da

[solemn axle]

oh

[tranquil yacht]

WTF?

[solemn axle]

probably i did mitigate it with magisk

[tranquil yacht]

Maybe device profile?

[solemn axle]

you should be able to use native one if your device used google services before

usually i needed to tweak it for huawei phones that don't have gservices by default

[tranquil yacht]

CTS profile data does not match

I'll need to use a custom profile

[tranquil yacht]

Oh mama mia!!!

[solemn axle]

the randomware is called windows

[magic dove]

Also, why have a microsoft phone in the first place ...

[solemn axle]

because it is a laptop?

[magic dove]

Not for your phone

[solemn axle]

like you know, the phone with a keyboard

[magic dove]

Yes

Still no windows on my phone

For that very same reason

Best of luck on that

[solemn axle]

i have already decrypted it, windows had troubles with tpm

[native saddle]

What do yall think of Opera GX?

[midnight pumice]

I only have like 1 hrs worth of assigned tickets for the next 2 weeks

Rip.

Wat do?

Should I just come up with some excuses to use ML

[errant zenith]

Hello

I found this guy on Instagram that looks like Linus if he smoked a crap ton of weed 😂

The Instagram handle is sivartstock

[magic dove]

Which tool did you use?

[solemn axle]

it is called Windows Bitlocker Recovery

made my microsoft

you can't do it any other way

[harsh quartz]

TPM being a requirement is dumb

For win11 I mean

[solemn axle]

tbf it isn't a bad technology

i enjoyed it to use with luks on linux

and to be honest, i don't think it is a dumb requirement for laptops

[harsh quartz]

Sure, the same way a hard drive isn’t a bad technology but windows keeps fucking corrupting itself overnight

2 days ago I literally made a VM, ran through the initial setup, and then left it sitting in the login screen overnight. I came back the next day and the windows was already corrupted. I don’t even know how it fucking managed it

[errant zenith]

So when you install Windows fresh is Bitlocker automatically enabled?

[harsh quartz]

I believe on pro systems it is

[pure knoll]

Valid
