I think enterprise is the least affected.

Win11 installs are done with Autopilot. Users log in with their company MS accounts and if admins need access they log in with the LAPS account.

Enterprise moved away from local accounts even before COVID.

The UI regressed to Windows Aero from Vista. Took 20 years, but they made it full circle.

They’re not actually getting rid of the XPS line, they’re just changing the naming convention.

Any of the new Dell models with ‘Premium’ in the name are going to be the same as the Dell XPS line.

Nifty thing is you absolutely can do that if you’re using SharePoint shortcuts in OneDrive instead of SharePoint library syncing.

You can’t use both syncing and shortcuts at the same time though. Syncing libraries came first, so it’s typically what is already setup and is kind of a pain to transfer a whole org away from.

Pretty sure most hosting platforms have egress costs on their cheaper VM instances.

I know Google cloud charges for bandwidth to AUS, and Oracle is 10TB of egress per month before charging (which I think is the most generous of free/cheap hosting platforms).

Pretty sure Rockstar allows community servers to disable the anti-cheat as well, just like single player.

The GTA RP community at this point is a considerable part of why people are still playing GTA.

Hawaii hasn’t had plastic bags for almost a decade at this point. Styrofoam takeout containers have also been banned since around COVID.

Some stores let you buy a paper bag for a few cents, otherwise it’s reusable bags you bring. Takeout containers have all transitioned to cardboard or PLA containers.

Some states won’t register kei trucks. They aren’t fast enough for freeway use or something like that.

Part of the point behind Ventoy is that you don’t need to prepare the USB to be bootable. You can just copy/paste the whole iso into Ventoy and it will be bootable. New release comes out? Just copy it onto your USB drive. Don’t even need to remove the old version of you don’t want to.

Makes things much easier in the tech world for having a single USB with 50+ bootable tools and installers on there like with MediCat (which uses Ventoy as a base).

Only thing I’ve had issues with booting from Ventoy is the ProxMox install iso. Everything else has worked first try.

Odd that you can see exactly in that tweet where his staffer stopped writing and handed the phone over to Donnie.

Locking a company out of their systems isn’t the most lucrative part of ransomware anymore. Data exfiltration and threatening to release the data to the highest bidder is now the norm.

Ransomware also typically sits on a system doing nothing for ~6 weeks before ever starting to encrypt and upload data. Even if companies have backups to restore from, they need to choose whether they’re going to restore entire machines quickly and risk still having the ransomware on the restored machine. Or they can take the long a painful route of spinning up new machines, then restoring just the data itself to individual apps/services to ensure you don’t still have ransomware after the restore.
