No, no they don't. Those people jumped ship after Jan 6. The only people left backing Trump are the insane religious cultists and racists that want to turn the country into a theocracy and purge anyone not white, straight and Christian.

Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week ( www.tomshardware.com )

Microsoft has been pushing hard for its users to sign into Windows with a Microsoft Account. The newest Windows 11 installer removed the easy bypass to the requirement that you make an account or login with your existing account. If you didn't install Windows 11 without a Microsoft Account and now want to stop sending the...

Microsoft has always been like this. They're a giant company with a bunch of silos that act independently and often undermine what each other are trying to accomplish.

Tons of people. I doubt BG3 would have succeeded if it wasn't so unabashedly horny.

Unlikely. The COVID lockdowns only decreased carbon emissions ~8%.

There's generally an inverse relationship between contagiousness and deadlines. By the time it mutates enough to spread between people, it's unlikely it'll be much worse than COVID.

What? There's lots of reasons to complain about Microsft, but their legacy support is not one of them. Almost every product they make gets 10 years of support + 3 more if you pay for it. In comparison, Postgres only does 5, MySQL is 8, and Mongo is 3.

I've been the one identifying the people who use jigglers. Usually it was a manager coming to us to look for a reason to fire a poor employee or a contractor trying to bill a suspiciously large number of hours for the work produced. If it was just poor performance, HR would make us do a PIP and waste 3 months on them. Violating security procedures and falsifying time sheets was an immediate termination. And for the contractors, you need evidence in order to refuse payment.

Btw, if you want to get away with it, don't use a software or USB one. Get one that interfaces with a regular mouse. Modern cybersecurity software logs every process executed and device connected.

USB devices have a hard coded vendor identifier and product identifier built into them that are issued from a central authority. The ones I saw were easily identifiable as not legitimate mice.

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware ( www.tomshardware.com )

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

There is no BIOS anymore. It's all UEFI, which is massively fatter and more complex. Being fat and complex, they have plenty of security vulnerabilities that need to be patched.

In the US, "Swiss cheese" means Emmentaler, or rather a low quality domestically produced version of it.

The dash cam footage is linked in the article. Looks to be mostly foggy conditions and their system completely ignoring the warning lights.

Tesla is not remotely close to being the leading company. That would be Google/Waymo.

There's also open cases against Putin's puppets in Georgia for the invasion of South Ossetia.

I think that's a distinction without a difference. How would the ICC seek an arrest warrant if not by having the chief prosecutor submit one? If the court had approved it, the title would be "arrest warrant issued by ICC".

Specifically the singular version of your. You used to be plural version only.

Hello fellow USian! Would you like to be swimming with me in local warm water port?

Jokes are supposed to be funny.

A viral infection causing a secondary bacterial infection is incredibly common. The phlegm and various secretions caused by the virus act as a breeding ground for the bacteria.

Same, but I run a "pro" version that I acquired from work like a decade ago.

And will they reward Biden for listening or reinforce the idea that there's no point trying to please the progressive left by finding some other reason to get upset and not vote?
