Holy shit, I remember being excited for 2.4 because of iptables. That was over twenty years ago.

I don’t think I got them all.

Yeah, this is FSKAX over 3 years. I have a lot of my portfolio in it and it does well. It’s up 24% over that period.

Yeah Win11 will probably be a noticeable performance hit on that. Especially Explorer which they made dog slow when adding tabs and the new context menu.

The Office apps and browser will probably be about the same.

I’m running Windows 11 on a 12 year old X79 platform. Runs just fine.

But it was definitely top of the line in its day and 48GB of RAM keeps any system relatively snappy.

And then, even if they do pay out, they just jack up your rates to make it all back. That’s if they don’t just drop your coverage completely.

Then you apply the scientific method and/or research in search of truth.

My wife doesn’t like it when I introduce her as my ex-girlfriend.

It only happens twice a year though.

The FTC actions at least are because of Lina Khan and we better protect her. The billionaires are actively trying to get Kamala to drop her.

More specifically, they are all weather themed.

Look man, this is just exhausting. I’m well aware of that security policy. I have enabled it at some of my clients. But it’s not a default setting and would never be on a random non-enterprise PC. This is what I mean when I say the only people who are getting locked out this way were screwing with their computers in ways they don’t understand, installing random garbage and following bad advice on the internet.

From your link:

If you set the value to 0, or leave blank, the computer or device will never be locked as a result of this policy setting.

I don’t care what you think. I’m playing chess with a pigeon here. Test it yourself.

That’s the BitLocker PIN, not the OS PIN. Go away.

Bitlocker activates when you enter an incorrect OS password too many times.

This is completely false. Please stop spreading misinformation. You clearly have no idea how BitLocker works, nor Secure Boot, BCD, TPM, or PCRs. Or anything really.

Maybe you should stick to an iPad. I’m done replying to this blithering nonsense.

I’m actually 46.

Here’s a cookie:

Bitlocker activated because of an OS update

This did not happen. You did something to enable it.

I don’t have an MS account, because I have no need to give MS all of my data

If you had one, all of your data would have been safe in OneDrive and easily recoverable. But I’m sure the irony is completely lost on all the anti-MS people here. Nah, it must be Microsoft’s fault you didn’t have backups when you broke your tablet.

Do you really want me to count the number of times I’ve switched default browsers away from Edge, only to have it reverted back?

So you suck at managing computers. Got it. This has never happened to me, but I also don’t install every third party app under the sun trying to fight how Windows is designed to work. I bet you have some shady custom start menu app and run CCleaner and defrag on a schedule.

I’ve used MS OSes since MS-DOS 3.0.

Ooh, big flex. I can go back even further but it doesn’t matter because only one of us here seems to know how to use MS OSes without everything randomly changing on them due to *checks notes* “dark patterns.”
