Given the way everything else is successfully disabled; something tells me they either did that and it’s just not working properly for Edge, or that flag got reset by some MS update that nobody asked for and it’s just not been noticed by IT yet.

Mhm. Shit people don’t want continues to be integrated into required system applications so you cannot remove/avoid it.

Seen it comming since the integration of Edge into Windows and how it’s forcibly re-installed everytime you try to remove it. Hell; even the corporate work PCs I use, which lock you out of every non-corporate supplied application such as wordpad, calculator and even the ability to see (not even modify, just view) the desktop background: failed to disable Edge (their default is Chrome). You can right click files > open with > Edge (none of the other applications listed work in any other circumstances, just edge and chrome).

Windows is dead.

Nice solid non-cable bike lock. Preferably a large hardened steel u-bolt lock.

I’ve been a big fan of Kryptonites New York Lock as well as their Kryptolok. Both have really nice mounts to attach the lock to the bike when not in use and the kryptolok comes with a robust cable that makes locking up the wheels easier. (do not use the cable to secure the main bike)

Using them correctly is important as well. Lots of people lock one of the wheels and not the frame. You’ve got to lock the frame itself to a solid object that it can’t be slid off of and optionally lock the wheels to the frame using a cable or chain.

TF are you gonna do, evict it? Enjoy your angry spirit…

I’d definitely consider a pyramid scam to be evil…

I’ve been deemed expendable by companies and people have shot at me.

That’s not the typical experience… Mind elaborating a little?

Be real nice if someone would just fucking nuke DC

They’re also really nice, placed just under your fitted sheet on the bed… Crawl into a pre-warmed bed that keeps you warm without an overly large/heavy blanket

As long as the building’s still standing and nobody got hurt, it’s been a good day.

Don’t sweat the rest - especially off the clock.

Microsoft and Nvidia have been trying for years to offload computing power to their own systems, while your computer becomes little more than a remote access terminal into this power when these companies allow you access to it.

See; Nvidia Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and pretty much every popular LLM (there are self-hosted options, but that’s not the major market rn, or the direction it’s headed)

There’s ofc struggles there, that they have had a hard time over comming. Particularly with something like gaming, you need a low latency, high speed internet connection; but that’s not necessary for all applications, and has been improving (slowly).

Ireland sounds like a great time XD

The first time I called 911 was actually to avoid being involved in/the victim of a crime.

I (~16m) was walking home very late at night with a friend, when a pickup truck passed us on the road, then suddenly pulled over blocking the sidewalk ~10m ahead of us.

4 guys got out and began to walk towards us rather aggressively.

I pulled out my phone and very loudly said ‘Hey google, Dial 911’.

All 4 stopped in their tracks. My friend and I didn’t stop; we walked around them and then their truck, and continued onto a path vehicles couldn’t follow, then we took off running as soon as we had rounded the corner out of sight.

For the record; I learned that day, google assistant won’t actually dial emergency numbers for you. (that may have changed, it’s been a long time and I’m not going to play with testing that) I’m really glad this encounter didn’t end poorly because apparently I hadn’t actually called for help.

Kind of just sounds like OneDrive.

They’ll get it for you if you want it, but you don’t get to know where it’s actually stored (or who else is accessing it).

Setting their management interfaces to be accessed via https because the VPN blocks (after snooping on) http only access would be my guess

No. I’m talking about measuring the time in-between inputs being received over the remote connection. Purely observation from the receiver side of the connection.

Network overhead + dropped and re-sent packets, introducing unusual lag in between commands/keystrokes.

A key being pressed and key being released are two separate events that get transmitted separately and usually happen pretty close together. That gap getting larger, due to the long-distance connection introducing lag, could be what they were looking at.

Perhaps something like time between key pressed and key released being abnormally high? Or erratic mouse movement?

I know whenever a PC I’m using is being remotely controlled, the mouse jerks around instead of moving smoothly around the screen. I’d imagine that gets even worse with ping/more layers of remote connections.

Perhaps Mozilla doesn’t quite fit into this category, as their software is far more optional to the average user than say, Microsoft Edge or Copilot being forcibly installed on every Windows PC; but more and more companies are forcing features on users that don’t want them, after being told over and over again:

NO, WE DON’T WANT THIS SHIT

Refusing to take ‘no’ for an answer, and instead doing whatever you want to people IS a rapists mentally and I will not apologize for pointing it out.

‘oh, don’t worry; you can turn it off!’

That’s what they all say. Fucking rapists.

Fuck you, it’s not going on my system. It’s sure as hell NEVER being installed in something like a web browser that has access to my password vault when it’s unlocked.

I might(unlikely) have considered it, if it was op-in. But just the fact that it’s opt-out means I’ve got to make a point of turning it off, AND regularly verifying it’s stayed off because it will “accidentally” turn on again.
