You don’t even need the controller to set them up anymore. You can run them as standalone APs by configuring with the app.

You miss out on a lot of features that way, but they work fine.

Windows 11 Enterprise likely uses a different OOBE, I just tell it to join during setup. At work, everything is image-based and pre-configured so no standard OOBE.

Like most things at MS, those with the resources get everything they want while the little guy gets screwed.

What’s even crazier is that corporate customers don’t actually deal with this in any way! There’s no Microsoft account required on an Active Directory controlled PC.

mark3748 , 25 days ago to Technology in Microsoft pulls Windows 11 24H2 from Insider Release Preview Channel

Apples AI is mostly processed on device. That’s why it takes an iPhone 15 pro or an M-series processor. They also claim that what is processed in the cloud is neither identifiable nor stored, just processed. We will know if that’s true (at least what is being sent) as soon as it gets out into the public and we can start picking apart the traffic.

There is no mention of opt-out or not yet, probably because we’re several months away from the actual release. I’m sure we’ll get more information before then.

I mean I guess it's better than xbox or playstations method which I honestly have no figured out yet.

Yeah, way better than… selecting the share button(?)

For example they could refuse to implement reactions or typing indicators

Reactions already work in MMS groups, use them every day.

or they could even deliberately compress videos

Except they’re already advertising improved quality of photos and video in non-iMessage chats. Doubt they would advertise a specific feature only to make it worse.

Different tools for different tasks.

You’re trading HFCS for plain old sugar. Most fruits are approximately 50/50 fructose and glucose, while HFCS is between 42% and 55% fructose, with the balance being glucose.

Chemically and biologically, they are basically the same.

They offer other options for Microsoft accounts. Using it as a normal TOTP app is the same as any other Authenticator app.

It’s most likely the number matching requirement that the other person doesn’t like, or their employer has a policy that’s annoying.

It’s quite literally in the disclosures and the article you are commenting on. They lost $151MM in 2022 and $90MM in 2023.

The module is only needed for older systems.

Not needed at all. If you’re installing it on an older system, you’re already bypassing the requirements so why bother with a TPM?

mark3748 , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in Yeah yeah, we know you're special

ATA was rolled into the SCSI subsystem, so both sata and pata are covered by SDX.

mark3748 , 3 months ago to Technology in Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025

The TPM is a hardware feature of every processor that's supported. I really don't understand all of this bullshit, the requirements are basically "don't run this on ancient hardware." That's it.

mark3748 , 3 months ago to Technology in Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025

Agreed. I’m just looking at the machines that were purchased at the launch of Win 11, but might not have had the proper hardware to transition off 10.

Windows 11 launched in 2021. The bare minimum hardware (8th gen intel) is from 2017. If you were buying 5+ year old hardware in 2021 then that’s on you.

Yeah, only four times this week. Rolling distro life.
