but do you know about the 3 shells?

And this is literally why people like myself hide my cancer from my employer.

US discrimination laws are a fucking joke.

Shit, I was just looking at massgrave the other day, didn’t realize they had direct links. Thanks a bunch.

just gotta know how to grab it from MS.

Be a kind soul and share, please and thank you.

Ah yes, I forgot about the existence of Entrprise edition. I’ve just never dealt with a business that paid for such a thing, I guess.

How are you accomplishing this? Provisioning the PCs to be part of the domain with a Powershell install script during automated setup? Because I was under the impression that this also had become a difficult task with 11. Because a Windows 11 machine doesn’t know it’s going to be part of the domain until it has been added to the domain. So, the only way I can see that working is like Powershell combined with WDS or something.

EDIT: Also, the LTSC version of Windows 11 isn’t coming until later in 2024. So I’m very curious how this works with 11 specifically.

Yeah that has been entirely removed in the Win 11 initial setup. It does not default to local account.

You literally have to disconnect internet, open a console window, type in oobe/bypassnro and then reboot. Only then will it default to a local account.

What chached login? This is talking about a fresh install on a clean (or wiped clean) drive.

Where would this be cached on a brand new PC never connected to the internet?

Yes, you have to unplug ethernet AND do the oobe/bypassnro command and reboot.

What’s crazy is the cybersecurity teams at big corporations actually hate this because its putting half their security in Microsofts hands. (And their security has been abysmal for a hot minute or more)

Corporations hate this shit too because they want to be using their internal, domain-controlled users, not Microsoft accounts that pass a ton of trade secrets to Microsoft. Is Microsoft training its AI on your trade secrets? Who knows!

So Microsoft is literally killing core competencies not just for end-users, but for businesses, too.

This will convince a lot of businesses the switch to an all Linux internal domain to be worth it, imho.

Linux has a BSOD kernel panic screen now too sooooooooo

We aren’t even capable of caring for one another

It’s the part that drives me the most wild. We’re all stuck on this shitty rock hurtling through space together, literally the bare minimum we could do to make it bearable is to be kind to one another and supportive of one another. We can’t even be fucked with bare minimum.

People forget the most important bit. The clapback to Semmelweiss from other doctors was “A doctor’s hands are always clean!”

Humans are irrational fucking idiots and we prove it daily. The number of us who are willing to protect our own in-group over things they don’t deserve to be protected over is too damn high.

They realize it’s a service issue, they’re trying to corner the market so that they don’t have to care that it’s a service issue.

YouTube pretty much has that market cornered. It would take a lot of capital to start up a viable competitor, especially one that didn’t resort to ads and had some other kind of monetization scheme to support the sites existence and pay for all the storage servers.

Tonight at 11, Japanese company centers japanese media in its media showcase.

If we survived Tipper Gore’s “Explicit Lyrics” warnings on CDs, I think we can survive this.

Everyone wanted the explicit copy, it made it more desirable.

But, as a counterpoint, traditional media is just as bad, if not worse, because it is desperately trying to stay relevant by selling fear.

“If it bleeds it leads” isn’t exactly new. Maybe all media needs these warnings.

WARNING: This media conglomerate is owned by people who have vested interest in profit over truth.

Further, a lot of that old media tied up in proprietary formats that simply don’t exist anymore.

Fuck, half the equipment I used in local television news broadcasting 20 years ago is all up in smoke. Media from that time is on tapes that probably don’t have easily findable tape decks to play them.

I would suspect its similar happens in print media.

In fact, I know it happens in print media because Adobe PageMaker was big for a long time. I used it to build and format my high schools newspaper when I was in my senior year. I was the layout editor because I was the only one who knew how to halfway use it.

Adobe InDesign was the successor to PageMaker and… for a while… you could convert PageMaker documents to InDesign documents, but they dropped that support years ago.

So you want an old Adobe PageMaker file from the 90’s to recreate lost information from then?

Well you better figure out how to pirate both an old copy of Windows and the final version of Adobe PageMaker just to be able to fucking run it in a virtual machine or something. Adobe is fucking ruthless when it comes to copy protection.

End result: Why would a business hold on to documents it functionally cannot use because the proprietary program or hardware used to “read” it no longer functionally exists? They simply won’t the cost of keep useless documents around is too high.

“Ramirez has caught the parking lot frog” sums it up so succinctly.

No, everything goes in the square hole.
