While some of his stuff interested me, the whole shit / diarrhea ″joke″ shtick put me off right from beginning.

This stopped working about 1 month ago. OOBE\BYPASSNRO method can be used to create local account.

If I understand it correctly this behavior happens only for newly deployed computers if you sign in with Microsoft account so there are no unexpected uploads to OneDrive, only downloads of your existing files if you used this feature before.

Although once you start saving files you might not realise files are being saved to also OneDrive. All in all it is a weird and dumb change, that popup where you are prompted if you want to enable known folder move was perfectly fine.

All I see is cherry picking random dumb comment thread and trying to spin it as if it defines the whole use base / experience and thinking Lemmy is used by the most sophisticated intellectuals.

Checked pinned megathread?

Deemix - Downloads from Deezer in 320 kbps mp3 or FLAC. You need to have premium account for high quality downloads or find something called ARL cookies for login on the web. Looks like original download source is down, but there are checksums so just hunt down a mirror that matches them

Soulseek - P2P sharing specifically for music

Fired and a possible jail time for an amusing stunt?

The man attached the painting to the exhibition wall with two screws, leaving behind drill holes.

The total damage is estimated at around €100 ($107).

He is under investigation for property damage—and if he is convicted, he could face up to two years in prison, per CNN.

I just switched to qBittorrent and used built-in search to find rarbg rips.

My only reason besides stuff being free is that I want my music library offline. There are some services like Bandcamp that offer it, but it would not cover a meaningful percentage of all my library. Not gonna buy and rip CDs myself as well

In Latvia there was a kebab chain called "Pakistan kebab". Around 1 year ago most if not all places closed / changed name to multiple other variations one of them being "Indian kebab".

There's a handy extension on both Firefox and Chromium browsers called Web Archives made by dessant / Armin Sebastian. You can right click on any URL and try to find cached copy on multiple services like Archive.org, Google cache and many more.

There is another cool extension from same dev called Search by Image that can search any image across multiple reverse image search engines.

Makes sense and probably all companies that do regional pricing have a rule for this, Steam explicitly states to not do this as well

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to order or purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.

It is, specifically MS Edge WebView. For example new MS Teams and new Outlook client are using WebView. Widgets are using it as well as do many other things.

This uninstall will most likely still keep Edge present, it will just be somehow hidden / not as easily accessible.

Anything that is an executable on PC (software / games) due to security risk. Game ROMs for emulators are fine.

Looks more like a bug than performance problem. Anyways start menu search has felt worse ever since Windows 8. For the most part it works, but occasionally you get random issues like these.

Things like PowerToys Run offer a much better search experience.

Gonna take a guess, but it probably was a good client and for many people it was the most enjoyable method to access reddit with it. For me it was Sync, now called "Sync for Lemmy"

Easy. Everyone on the plane are in it and are trying to suppress the truth and the photo you see was taken either next to the ice wall or somewhere else where it is icy. Or it is simply photoshopped

install only stock AOSP Android

In what world would this be a good idea? I much prefer OneUI over AOSP for example. Option to easily opt-in for unlocking bootloader and flash stock ROM would be a good thing though.

Furthermore the bots’ solving times are significantly lower in all cases, except reCAPTCHA, where human solving time of 18 seconds is nearly similar to the bots’ time of 17.5 seconds.

Due to this solving time captchas still provide an easy method how to reduce spammy request count. Also kind of doubt it is super easy to create your own setup that would bypass captchas so everyone could do this, but there probably are 3rd party services exactly for this.

Seems weird to be honest. I would agree on removing personal Teams from new Windows installations, but if you are locked in Microsoft 365 environment it is very unlikely you will not use Teams due to how well it integrates with whole ecosystem.

It's almost as asking to unbundle Outlook because Thunderbird exists.

2 years is insane for what seems like a harmless prank though. It′s maybe an issue with how law is defined, similar to stories when you become a sex offender by doing public urination. Perhaps those 2 drill holes are similar to ″unrepairable damage to historic object″.

For most it's a CV hosting platform and nothing else.

Can it assit at recommending other browsers?

It's couple words that could have been said by anyone with nice voice and good diction. I'm probably not such person, but if you would pick 100 random people, you would get someone who could do a good job for this kind of quick announcement.

Most internal employees would even do this for free. One time payment of 200 eur seems fair.

What if you would have 2 devices of same type with same OS or just with OS that starts with same letter? Will you use numbers, if yes, how much leading zeroes if any you will use? If you don't use numbers, will you add a room name? But what if there are 2 devices with same OS in the same room?

I am in! Oh... I do not have any access

So is the idea to abuse and kill civilians to justify oppression by Israel government?

Dislike the video format, but all the points seem valid, Mozilla has definitely taken a lot of questionable decisions and Firefox has not been their main focus for quite some time.

Do not care much about privacy myself as far as Google and other generic tracking is concerned, I just like the add-ons and certain features in FF when compared with Chromium based browsers so that is still my main browser for personal use. For work I prefer to use Edge.

Let's see if Mozilla will use opportunity that Chromium browsers soon switching to Manifest V3 will provide with their future gimped adblock add-ons. Or maybe they will just do a similar change on FF side soon.

Even better is that GN did say "auctioned" and not "sold". Can't even get that right.

Pretty sure I have seen a prompt suggesting switching to MS account before and MS already hides local account creation during setup.

It's not like local accounts will disappear unless there will be an actual redesign of whole OS which is very unlikely since then you loose all the backwards compatibility.

Switch to Edge would make sense due to how well it integrates with things like your Entra ID account, choosing Chrome now is bizarre. We also had Chrome as primary browser for years, but now we are pushing Edge as primary browser. Firefox was and still is an option for us as well.

Interesting observation, but maybe it is just a coincidence since I am not aware these numbers appearing anywhere? Found this reddit thread that talks about same thing.

Here's an interview with controller′s designer that explains the meaning behind symbols. I think number theory is just a coincidence since I think it would be mentioned in this interview as well.

Other game companies at the time assigned alphabet letters or colors to the buttons. We wanted something simple to remember, which is why we went with icons or symbols, and I came up with the triangle-circle-X-square combination immediately afterward. I gave each symbol a meaning and a color. The triangle refers to viewpoint; I had it represent one's head or direction and made it green. Square refers to a piece of paper; I had it represent menus or documents and made it pink. The circle and X represent 'yes' or 'no' decision-making and I made them red and blue respectively. People thought those colors were mixed up, and I had to reinforce to management that that's what I wanted.

Not familiar with cinema projectors, but as I have gatherered from this forum problem is caused by KDM (used to decrypt movie) provider / reseller called Deluxe. Neither Sony or this cinema chain is at fault and problem indeed seems worldwide.

I do know that if our servers lose power and the CMOS battery goes dead, they will internally destroy themselves and never function again. This is to prevent piracy I assume.

Find it very hard to believe to be honest. Could this be simply some rumour from colleagues? Doubt any vendor would implement anything like this, drives could be simply encrypted to protect data if they ever get stolen.

No point in keeping 2 similar communities, especially if they are on same instance.

Hope we will get post tags one day, that would help with filtering if someone really wants this

world doesn't accept video links or text pieces

Depends who you ask. There isn't a single HP movie I like more than a book and the only decent movie adaptions in my eyes were first 2.

How is Brave covering cost of this thing?

It's a cool video, but I wouldn't call it a parody
