    Will Windows 11 Make Windows an even more corroborated mess?

    Curious: why buy TPM module now? Win10 has years of life left. If these TPMs really are needed, lots will be manufactured after chip shortage over. I understand if you can get it cheap now and keep it around until needed, but if TPM becomes a real thing, I expect lots will be made. Sent from my...

    Will Windows 11 Make Windows an even more corroborated mess?

    Multiple reports suggest local accounts are still possible with early Win11 builds, using similar hoop jumping done for Win10. It remains to be seen if it will be fully locked down or not. One misunderstood thing is that even with a MS account login, you can still use the computer without...

    Will Windows 11 Make Windows an even more corroborated mess?

    All my old computers worth using at all are fine on Win10, and I'm content to leave them there. If 2025 rolls around and Win10 support ends, I will figure out then whether upgrading anything is worth the hassle. I have a NUC (fourth generation, 4230 I think) that has Linux Mint and Win10 dual...

    Will Windows 11 Make Windows an even more corroborated mess?

    Don't have a link handy right now but apparently Win11 needs an 8-gen Intel chip or later. Similar on the AMD side of things. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Brave or stupid? Teen girl pushed bear off wall

    Doing anything threatening when a mama bear is with her cubs is a recipe for a bad outcome. That said, I understand the adrenaline this person felt and give her credit for taking advantage of the balancing act going on. However, one swipe of the claws and her guts would have been spilled all...

    Amazon Sidewalk: what could possibly go wrong?

    There was some thermostat, maybe Nest, maybe Google Home, that had a supposedly deactivated microphone in them. Eventually it was fund some of them were hot mics in some situations without notification or consent of the owners. Ok found it. Old news now but still... Sheesh...

    Amazon Sidewalk: what could possibly go wrong?

    A common route of advertising is to show you things to buy that your social contacts recently bought. You don't even have to butter the name. My brother in law got a Tesla, and I was getting ads for a month or two. I only figured out about it retroactively when I was talking with my sister...

    Amazon Sidewalk: what could possibly go wrong?

    I've heard numerous stories similar to the above of Amazon devices obviously mining data outside of explicit commands to do so and it showing up in ads. There is no Amazon IoT in my home, though I do shop by Amazon and use their video streaming. Interestingly, I've tried (hard) to test my...

    Reaction to Shingles vaccine

    I got the first Shingrix shot in Feb 2020 and was scheduled for my second one in May. First one I had a goose egg at injection site that hurt for a week, and it was the side I sleep on so it was painful and inconvenient. No other side effects from first shot. I put off the second one less due...

    Can you identify car? Uber Eats delivers food and takes amazon package

    IE and BI alerts stopped when OpenVPN running

    I recently bought a new router and went through the Open VPN setup, then settled it in for clients that might be away from my LAN and need to connect. Flag me if I can be of any help. I'll underscore what was said above, that once Open VPN is running on your router, no devices that are on your...

    I'm in the "not pissed off" mode. Now, I've had a hell of a hard week at work, I'm behind on many projects there, the next two weeks will be even more grueling. And I've been anxious because we had an upcoming appointment this Monday to go over my wife's latest brain scan (she had surgery in...

    Android app update

    And, I'm on 5.4.4.0. Had a few tense moments when it seemed to forget my users but re-entering the license / support keys and re-importing the automatically saved reg file cleared it up. @Pentagano I find the Android app to be worth whatever I paid for it, and then some, and then some more...

    Android app update

    I'm glad for this thread. I just noticed the app no longer connected. I was wondering if I'd screwed something up when I reconfigured my network the other day. Was sure I had tested it with BI. I haven't moved from 4 to 5 yet, out of pure laziness (cost has nothing at all to do with it). Like...
