Nah, I disagree.

It shouldn't matter to them who uses the phone or what provider you use on it, as long as you pay them of course.

lud ,

That's crazy. Why the fuck did they think that was a good idea‽

lud ,

It's only a good registrar if you don't care about privacy and you're ok with their selection of TLDs (selected only from registries without privacy).

I wish they supported my country's two CCTLDs but other than that I'm very happy. I would never buy any of the crazy vanity TLDs anyways.

I mostly own .com domains and two CCTLDs domains.

lud ,

Ett problem med lågpris alternativen är att åtminstone flera av dom begränsar bredband hastigheten.

lud ,

Since you use group policies and images (even if images are outdated nowadays) I assume you are trying to configure this for a company with an AD domain and M365 licenses. Since you couldn't use group policies with a domain and you can't use M365 features like OneDrive without licenses. I hope you are not allowing personal accounts..

Why wouldn't you use OneDrive in this case?

It's much better than the old way of home folders in a file share.

Anyway I'm half tempted to try and do it myself because I doubt it's impossible.

lud ,

Not that I agree with using local accounts instead of domain accounts but fair enough.

It's much better than the old way of home folders in a file share.

arguably subjective

Yes, of course. IMO OneDrive is much easier for the end user instead of having to remember to store files in a share or using folder redirection which is prone to fail sometimes. Because using OneDrive they only have to store files where they normally store them and they get automatically synced and backed up to OneDrive. Something being easy is a huge benefit because it will ensure documents and everything else is backed up properly and it reduces support load.

Please tell me you have some kind of backup of those computers where you don't use shared storage or apparently anything "proper".

You don't use Windows home too, right?

Btw, GPOs only work using a domain. You are probably using local policies and those are sometimes not as likely to work.

lud ,

You have backup and tape but not shared storage‽
Wut‽

I misunderstood what you meant by local accounts. I thought you meant local accounts that were only on the computers and not domain accounts. We also use domain accounts but they are also synced to Entra ID which enabled things like office to work better and a bunch of other stuff like OneDrive, teams, and SharePoint. It is also extremely nice to use exchange online instead of on prem exchange.

Personally it seems like a HUGE pain in the ass to backup workstations.
We never do that. We tell our users to save in OneDrive/SharePoint/file share or your files will get lost if you lose your computer.

How do you do the backups? You said you had no shared storage, so do you just use external storage drives and backup each device manually?

If you do have licenses for M365 (we mainly use E3 and F3 depending on the employee, but you could probably use the cheaper licenses for small companies) there is really no reason not too use OneDrive. It's convenient for the users and for IT. If you don't have licenses you shouldn't have to worry about OneDrive anyways because you don't pay for it.

lud ,

Bruh, just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean that you have to act like that.

Please tell me what exactly you disagree with.

lud ,

Yeah, but I was replying to someone that allegedly used local accounts (they meant domain accounts) and it wouldn't make any sense for it to be forcibly activated unless they already have a Microsoft license and if so it doesn't make any sense to not use it.

lud ,

Well I suggest setting something proper up if you have the budget.

my brain tired now, I stop talking about this

Fair enough.

lud ,

You could print out the source code, book bind it, and then set it on fire.

lud ,

Moritz Körner, Member of the European Parliament, disclosed the decision on Twitter. Swedish publisher SVG said, “The question was removed at the last moment from Thursday’s ambassadorial meeting in Brussels”.

Who are SVG? I have never heard of them before and I can't find anything online.

lud ,

I was on mobile so I didn't have a .XCompose available to type.

I feel the opposite. On mobile I have much easier access to special characters. I just need to hold down characters to get more variants.

lud ,

Yeah, especially that bird picture person and the big letter person.

lud ,

You don't pirate open source projects though.

lud , (edited )

Meanwhile, the vast majority of people making calls are still going to have only one speaker, so it'll still get downmixed to mono. Even if your phone has two, and you're not holding it next to one ear, they're still going to be so close together as to effectively be one point source.

No, lots of (probably most) phones and other devices has stereo speakers.

Either way headphones are most often used for this (you know like the thumbnail)

lud ,

Pro tip: That tip has been obsolete for a long time now.
Running the defragmentation tool on an SSD in Windows optimizes the drive (pretty much just running TRIM). It's not possible to defragment an SSD in Windows (maybe there is a way using some register hack but that's out of scope)

lud ,

Do you mean by taxes?

lud ,

That's sucks.

In my country I'm pretty sure library cards are always free. The card has to be collected in person though.

lud ,

Yeah, what's "gaming" about this thing?

Red accents of course.

lud ,

GPOs should solve that

lud ,

GPOs seldom break just like that.

Local policies are possibly more volatile but not GPOs

lud ,

Yeah, zero-days are usually expensive because attackers like to keep them pre zero-days once they are discovered their value diminishes significantly. So they are usually used for high value targets and not on random people downloading movies.

lud ,

Reading is a long awaited feature for most Lemmy users.

lud , (edited )

I think the newer wallpaper is artificial.

This wallpaper isn't default anymore since a few years back.

lud ,

Iirc the "light mode" wallpaper they are referring to is the newer one.

When windows 10 came out it only had this one and it is no longer default.

lud ,

How can it be objectively pretty in your opinion?

Sounds highly subjective to me.

For the record I think it's ugly.

lud ,

Unrelated but can Microsoft please update the old rsat tools.

Yes the app "users and computers" work but it could have been so much better if it had a few adjustments like a search bar.

When editing GPOs why the hell can't I just change an existing setting without opening the editor and digging through the whole damn tree first.

Shame the MS never will improve these tools because on prem is not the cloud.

lud ,

It's obviously not intended to run on an Arduino or something.

lud ,

You can run bitlocker without TPM using a usb flash drive instead. I think you can also store the key in your mind as a password.

lud ,

Microsoft doesn't give out shit. The schools pay for it.

lud ,

Personally I don't really mind the DLCs in paradox games.

The DLCs fund the smaller free updates and they are optional. If you want to regularly get more content for the games you love it might be worth the 20 euro (or whatever) and you absolutely don't need to buy every single one just the ones with features and content you like.

Basically the options are: more new paid features and some new free features or no new features.

lud ,

Is there anything pointing to that in this case?

lud ,

Not starting isn't hard at all though.

lud ,

intentionally don't invest in crypto, because it doesn't produce anything. Any money you make is just taken from another investor, usually because they don't know what they're doing. When you invest in a company, you make products and sell them to customers. Something is created and rarely are people cheated.

Isn't that the same as investing in any currency?

lud ,

No, people absolutely do invest in currency. It's quite a big thing actually.

lud ,

The best format imo is MB/s and Mbit/s

It avoids all confusion.

lud ,

Yes but that doesn't affect any of us.

Of course it is illegal for the providers.

lud ,

Not sure what you mean, but my bank has like 70+ locations in my country.

In 2012 they apparently had 165 locations and 101 of those only had ATMs and no manual cash handling.
My bank was the first with this large scale change but now every bank is essentially cash free. Hell, the whole country is essentially cash free.

lud , (edited )

Yeah, cash free greatly decreases the risk of robberies from high to non-existent. And no one really uses cash anyways here so it doesn't matter much. If someone wants to use cash anyways, we have these machines that are called automated teller machine.

I am not saying I'm a huge fan of banks but they do actually provide useful very services like debit/credit cards, loans, safe keepings of money, and a bunch of other stuff. And if you only use the basic services with a debit card plus basic bank accounts there are minimal yearly fees. I pay nothing because I'm young enough but in a few years I will have to pay what's equivalent to around 55 USD each year, which I think is very reasonable.

lud ,

I wouldn't say excited but I don't care much. I personally never ever use cash because it's a hassle but I obviously think that it should be possible.

And banks having cash is honestly pretty useless anyways.

lud ,

Ah, I got you. Thanks for explaining.

I never imagined that any banks would ever keep cash in any large quantities. That seems like it would be extremely annoying for everyone when you can just let other companies handle the cash and ATMs and instead just send money digitally. I can imagine any banks has operated like that for a few decades at least.

lud ,

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
