UNetbootin stopped being useful a long time ago. Rufus is OK as long as you set it up right.

Partition scheme: MBR

Target system: BIOS or UEFI

File system:FAT32

Then in the BIOs setting on the HP go to advanced and set “Legacy Support Enabled”. Save and exit.

Smash the F9 key repeatedly during boot to pull up the boot menu. You should see your USB device listed to pick and boot from.

Tread pattern looks more like BF Goodrich.

If this lets you monitor the patch status of the end clients in your org, then it’s actually cheaper than existing solutions used for managing regular Windows updates.

The only questionable part is how reliable, trustworthy, and secure is 0patch themselves?

Allowing a third party access to patch system level files opens the risk of a rootkit install. (In fact their agent being able to access system would function much like a rootkit itself).

They could easily backdoor something into thousands, or even tens of thousands of PC very quickly. Make a huge botnet, steal data, etc, etc.

Assuming they are trustworthy themselves, if their security is compromised, either from hackers or even a rogue employee, the same results could happen and could take a long time to discover.

You’re YouTube channel has just been demonitized.

Soviet Strike was really good. One of the first PlayStation games I played (rented from Blockbuster!)

I remember being blown away by the video cutscenes in a game.

It STARTED from the work of community members. Then Epic jumped in and took over with the promise of their backing of the community team. Then once they had control over it they scuttled the ship.

What? Pat’s has a guy grilling peppers right on the patio.

They’ve dumped $2billion of that back into developing this game. That’s 4x as much as they spent on RDR2 and about 5x as what they spent on GTAV.

So as far as “I’m not sure they even bothered” goes, well it seems they bothered quit a bit more than they did on those other games which were both epic.

Even the ROG Ally comes with a free month of GamePass Ultimate, and a new Xbox comes with 90 days. I don’t see why a MS first party handheld wouldn’t come with some.

Microsoft could just drop a Windows handheld that can play Xbox games natively.

The Xbox already runs on a custom VM based on Windows 10/11. Microsoft themselves are the only ones keeping the two who systems separated by artificial software limitations.

We’re at a point where a company makes an operating system used by a majority of the population while they force you to use your personal online account to log in

I find it hilarious to see how many people rage at this from their iPhone or Android phone where they are logged in with a personal online account in order for the device to function.

You need a Microsoft account to play Minecraft anyway, so you still would have had set one up.

…it won’t let me edit my other comment but I wanted to add that YES using MFA is demonstratively far more safe than any password you can set.

With a multi factor enabled you could literally give your password out and people could not access your account without being able to complete that second layer of security.

During the enrollment you can tap on the option to use another method and have it send you a text code instead of using the app.

Who wants to take bets that Search itself ends up in The Graveyard soon, leaving nothing but the new AI abomination in place?

That wasn’t the question.

I saw this exact same “reporting” on the Verge and several other sites yesterday and earlier in the week, and without the paywall 404 has half way down reading the article.

sort of anti-colonial, indigenous(ish) peoples under occupation themes that Star Wars just isn’t interested in exploring.

Rebels did that pretty well. Andor is digging into it too.

Ever try Media Monkey?

Good documentation is great to have. Here’s the thing though. If you need documentation to use an OS… That just proves that it really is harder for people to use.

Mint and Windows both share the ability to pick it up and use it for the majority of what most people do. Arch is like the textbook example of having to learn a bunch in order to use Linux.
