Yeah probably.

No need to worry similar stuff will get developed for other platforms as well.

Did it use 45 GB extra or were there just 45 GB worth of changes?

I mean it is banned in Sweden (and so is every manipulation of the drinking water) and we are doing alright. I don’t really care whenever you guys ban it or not, but the world won’t end if you ban it.

They probably wanted to figure out what the hell was up with that wall.

Microsoft does that too though. And afaik they have offered extended support for a long time for loads of windows versions (especially for the server versions)

That’s just incompetence. It’s not like they are laughing with the devil because people can’t place the taskbar at the top anymore.

They are not ending support for some evil plot to force people to use win11. They just don’t want to support win10 forever. The exact same thing has happened to every other windows version and most Linux distros and lots of other stuff like servers and networking hardware.

I choose 5 and 9. I really have no interest in any of the others.

Keep in mind that giving out the highest possible sentences to crimes that could be worse (like murder) essentially gives someone that’s committing the lesser crime (rape in this case) free range to commit any worse crimes because the sentence can’t be worse anyway.

If someone is fucked up enough to rape someone, chances are that they will see it as a positive that they can kill the victim and leave behind no living witnesses and without risking a worse punishment.

Even if rapists won’t kill anyone, they might still be less likely to restrain themselves to cause additional harm to the victim.

It’s not permanently locked though.

Apparently it’s not configured like that by default and even if it is, just configure it differently if you want a different behaviour ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Moving over to Linux is a great idea, if you have found a good way to manage them and your users are accepting.

Either way, I have never noticed this issue and we manage hundreds of Windows computers

You know I can take that drive out and just try to brute force it a million times per second without that silly rule being in my way, right? It’s an anti security pattern similar to requiring password changes every week, it’s a bad idea.

Nah, not really. I get what you mean, but the feature is obviously intended to lock the drive after a few failed logins because the user’s password is generally way less secure than the bitlocker recovery key/encryption key. Brute forcing a 48 digit key is practically impossible while brute forcing a user’s password is child’s play in comparison.

So in my opinion it sounds like a pretty good idea to include that feature in the security baseline. It’s not really Microsoft’s fault that you pushed out security baseline settings without checking what they do first. But since you actually did some testing with bitlocker, the impact wasn’t that bad. So just adjust or disable the feature and move on.

This dwarf planet is 90 AU from US not from the sun. They just said that the dwarf planet is 90 AU away from us and that 1 AU is equal to the distance between the sun and the earth.

But since the dwarf planets orbit is extremely eccentric that varies heavily.

And better and people got better at making 3d printed guns.

That depends on where you live. I could get 10 Gbit/s WAN if I wanted to pay the subscription for that but 500 Mbit/s is enough.

Also 10 Gbit/s is mainly useful for LAN. Like connecting to a NAS.

Sure whatever. That’s not what’s being discussed here though.

It would be cheaper for them to hire additional staff instead of paying for overtime. What they would do with the saved money is another matter. They could have bought tanks to oppress the orphans or they could’ve bought magical Linux unicorns for the children of Gaza.

It doesn’t matter, the point is that paying that much for overtime is more expensive than hiring an additional cop or two.

You are joking but just hiring more cops would be cheaper

Yeah that kinda enforces their point.

Sure, but did your SO set up home assistant?

Well at least you can exclude roughly 81 million eligible non voters. Fuck em.

No, the spy theory really makes so no sense whatsoever.

Have people completely forgotten that Photoshop exists or what‽
