After the install. Create admin and user accounts not tied to ms. Use the user account normally, and when you need admin you enter the second account details.

Use Sophia script to clean up all the advert apps bundled with win11.

I wish I could find a script to remove the advert features from edge for when I have to office. Mozilla Firefox is your day to day browser.

Use chocolatey.org to install ur apps. When you do updates, one command can do it all.

Check start-up scripts, and ensure there is nothing that doesn't need to be there. Teams no, zoom also no.

Pro tip, tell them you want to end your subscription immediately. Don't say anything, awkward silence. When they ask an another question to goud you into staying repeat the first statement. If they ask rando questions, silence.

They give up in under a minute. Be polite but obstinate.

Not GoDaddy.

Other than that, go by price and reputation. The DNS service can be replaced pretty quickly for free if their DNS service is a problem. I usually register on DreamHist.com. Then use the free DNS service on CloudFlare.com

This sounds like the trolly problem. If you go down track A, then there are likely to be some horrible family murders. Or track B you will upset the NRA crowd.

... Wow this Rahini guy does sound like a poster child for this law, but

ultimately the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law is unconstitutional because there was nothing like it in the 1790s

Currently, 3kg (6.6lb) [of carrots cost] 15 riyals ($4.12). We can sell 3kg [of 3D-printed carrots] for 10 riyals ($2.75), only for carrots

Because, (Waves hands) 3d printed carrots. Molds are to costly, and take to much time to use.

Like the old timey chicken nuggets with brown meat.

For those who think US Army is above this kind of torture.

The XPS line was popular at work. Desk candy to compete with Mac books. However the engineering did not complete at all. The battery was the biggest fail point, we had a high percentage of battery issues under warranty, and they would take months to get replaced by the vendor.

We stopped buying them, if someone wants desk candy these days it's mostly Mac book pro as expensive as your budget can handle.

Wix.com Ltd. (Hebrew: וויקס.קום, romanized: wix.com) is an Israeli software company,

The conflict aside, WIX is a corporation with strong political and theological roots. Even if the technology is good, choosing that platform comes with baggage.

Wow, amazing transition. I had to read the article to find the pictures are the before and after of the same person.

What a douchy thing to say. I hope Zelensky looks him straight in the eye and slaps him silly.

This article seems to be pushing the conservative narrative. They make a leap from mental health to eugenics, which is a stretch. I call BS

Denying the people the right to die with dignity is a sick perversion of morals.

The US vs them sentiment shouldn't exist when it comes to science. Rather, congratulate them and produce a better machine.

China has just as many paradoxes as the US, the good be the bad mentality only fosters the air of war.

Wow! Donations to children of Uganda was about 68k in 2018, and 78k in 2019. That's awesome. I guess this is a good time as any to donate.

This is the way.

AKA don't be this guy.

Don't trust executables on your computer. A Windows VM in a Linux host that you revert to a prior snapshot of you're really curious.

If they don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy.

Keep this quiet, but VPN to UK and sign up for channel 4. They have commercials, but UK does much funnier commercials than across the pond.

I was sick, so I could tolerate the presentation which had high-end effects.

A UAV flys through the desert over the Apple building into the center garden, it approaches Tim Cook standing on à lawn. He starts speaking in his mechanical ceo way. A lot more effects like this.

The watch

  • new processor with cores dedicated to ml. Monitoring your bio markers for finger traps and other gestures. It also processes voice commands so you don't need to be tethered to the internet to figure out what your saying.
  • a fear based marketing, the presentation opens with shiny people who have been assisted by the watches bio monitoring. Heart attack, hypothermia, car accident, etc. Apple watch is always watching you.
  • 18 hrs battery life, so you have to remove it to charge it everyday. So while your sleeping? But put it back on before you wake up so you can snooze by tapping your fingers together. Also if you're likely to have a heart attack at night, wear the watch so it can wake you up.
  • satellite emergency SOS, and road side assist. USA only
  • carbon neutral. Recycled metals,...
  • features you will use everyday (repeat 15x)
  • pro version

The phone

  • recycled metal, carbon neutral, cute scene presenting Apples eco foot print to mother nature played by Octavia Spencer
  • cameras
  • something something USB3, no mention of external displays or using with dock to use as computer
  • easily replaceable back glass
  • a design that makes it easier to repair
  • pro version in titanium

MacBook

  • MacBook Air 15

An impressive presentation. Engineering is amazing. Still, your locked into their walled garden. And they can keep you juiced with dopamine as long as you give them money.

Yes that's the right way to block root login. An added filter you can use the 'match' config expression to filter logins even further.

If you're on the open network, your connection will be heavily hit with login attempts. That is normal. But using another service like Fail2Ban will stop repeated hits to your host.

Ssh listens on port 22, as soon as a connection is made the host moves the connection to another port to free up 22 for other new connections. Btw: I wasn't thinking clearly here. Out going connections won't be using port 22, but the listening incoming port is always 22.

This seems similar to an ssh session, but ssh has great authentication and authorization parameters that can be setup. Whereas code.exe is left open.

So why is this getting down voted. Seems like a valid concern.

So there is still time to get in at the ground floor.

Like a Bosch!

I'm surprised this had to be said. 6 days before the balots are ordered.

“The constitution is clear: you must be (at least) 40 years old and not be an insurrectionist,”

Yeah, I'm sorry to say that is a result of good marketing. I work at a university and we have experience with a good number of XPS laptops.

We saw at least a 60% problem rate, and Dell's support was dog slow. Batteries being the weak spot. Because it's thin it is more fragile, we saw a number of broken screens, and keyboards. One survived a Gatorade spill, but another failed after a water spill. Go figure

A three year warranty helped, but we were out of a laptop for months at a time, more than once on the same laptop.

Nice move there AI. I see what you're doing.

When you have battery life beyond 5s next year you'll be thankful

I used awk to migrate users from one system to another. I created template scripts for setting up the user in the new system, I dumped the data from the old system, then used awk to process the dump and create scripts for each user in the new system. That was a fun project.

I cancelled my subscription. I've haven't felt this free in a while. I'm no longer a slave to Amazon.

It said it believed that any taxes owed after the audit would be reduced by up to $10bn based on tax laws passed by former President Donald Trump.

Match blocks allow you to restrict who/what is allowed or not allowed to connect to the server. There is a large number of options to utilize. Put this near the bottom of sshd_config. There should be an example there.

Here are some more examples: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10829712/sshd-with-multiple-match-sections-override-settings

I loved this vibe in the 90s. I wish they created more James like that. Last I heard of Edie was collaborations with Steve Martin's blue grass band. Too cool

My bad, sorry. Dreamhost.com

I can completely respect your perspective. Yes I was being short when I made this comment, no offense to the op was intended.

To patronize a service because its good does not imply loyalty.

Apple has a long history of being manipulative and exploitative of their customers. Being loyal to them (from my perspective) is like being loyal to an abusive person. You obey their commands not because of respect, but because you feel an emotional bond to them.

Great graphic, this needs to be a t-shirt

C&C has to be redone now.
