You can use pins, passwords, TPM, a usb key, or multiple in combination. But generally TPM is the best option for most users

apparently it’ll pwrma lock itself after x amounts of invalid passwords which is just incredibly stupid. But don’t worry, there is a backup key! Yeah, that is lie

If you only used TPM for bitlocker with no pre-boot authentication or something similar, it’s possible that you had the “MaxDevicePasswordFailedAttempts” policy configured. Apparently that is configured by default if you use the security baseline.

IMO it makes a lot of sense to lockdown and require bitlocker recovery if there has been a few failed attempts.

We use bitlocker on probably over 1000 devices I don’t believe we had any substantial issues with it. Of course users occasionally get locked out, but that should be planned for and a process should be in place to help them.

I suggest deploying windows hello or smart cards to reduce the dependency on passwords. Window hello for business is especially great since it’s free, secure and way easier and faster for users to use, especially if your devices have fingerprint readers or face recognition. I wish Linux and MacOS had anything as useful as Windows Hello.

Pretty sure the new Call of Duty games work like that.

FYI: You can still use windows offline and without an account if you use Pro or Enterprise and I assume education edition.

Doesn’t the internet ridicule everyone who slips up though?

384 threads is fucking bizarre!

I would like to see the fans needed to cool this in a 2U or even 1U case. They must be comparable to a leaf blower…

No, that’s fortunately not correct. TLS certificates issued by our CA are valid for 2 years and that works perfectly fine in all the browsers I have ever used.

Did she commit any crimes against humanity then?

You know that’s a very serious accusation right?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Isn’t military service mandatory in Israeli?

Well obviously. A severe violation of anything is considered worse by pretty much anyone.

I have no idea, I don’t drink.

But if that’s the case it makes sense since you shouldn’t drink and drive at all IMO the limit should be treated more like a margin of error (because you shouldn’t drink at all) and less like a limit of how much you can drink.

Here in Sweden the limit is at 0,2 ‰ which I believe is equivalent to 0,02 BAC. So 0,08 BAC is really high IMO.

The limit for a serious violation is 1 ‰

The punishment for a normal violation is a fine or up to 6 months in prison. The punishment for a serious violation is up to 2 years in prison. Apparently if you go above 1,5 ‰ you are quite unlikely to get any other punishment than prison, so community service or similar is out.

If you are found guilty they generally take your driving licence a As well and you are not allowed to get a new one for a minimum of 1 month or a maximum of 3 years (minimum 1 year for serious violation)

Windows has a built in firewall, so why install a paid one?

Obviously recall is bad but for fuck sakes don’t use company property for watching porn.

but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.

Within reason.

Over optimization is a curse on getting done.

Life at stake?

Eh no, not knowing that you should have a backup plan if you want to do stuff like football is far from ruining a whole life.

Let’s say that they figure out that football is a no go at 25 or something ridiculous like that, what happens? Nothing. They can just do something else, they can even study and get some good education if they want. Switching careers isn’t impossible like you make it out to be. Hell, depending on where you live you might even get paid by the government to get a better education.

Let the kid do football but encourage them to do other stuff too (like getting a good education).

Small mode? I had completely forgotten that it existed. I didn’t know anyone used that.

Yeah, I wish I could print while it’s drying.

It’s probably possible to modify my solution to allow that but I haven’t and I doubt I have the space for it.

Yeah, you should absolutely use a dryer. It’s especially important if you want transparent prints since the slightest amount of water makes the print way less transparent.

Mine dryer is the cheaper food dryer I could find plus some 3 printer adapter walls so a filament roll fits.

It works very well and is likely better than many more expensive filament dryers.

The Bambu transparent PETG I bought last year is pretty damn transparent when printed out at the right settings (iirc, fairly low temperatures, very slowly and the filament must be as dry as possible). The test prints I made kinda looks closer to a dusty lens than a translucent material. I couldn’t find a picture of the test prints I made but I can post some if anyone is curious.
