And don’t want to upgrade/switch because it is too expensive

Oh boy, you better have no employees or Oracle will make you pay for their existence:

under Wikipedia’s entry for Secure boot

What’s the first thing under the “Secure boot” section? The section that it automatically scrolls to when clicking my link?

Well the website (and the guy maintaing it) is pretty old. I think the blog posts reach back till Windows Vista. The guy itself wrote some books about Win95 so he has some experience.

The site is quite popular in Germany and the information is usually good summarized and helpful IMHO.

Anyway as always I recommend an adblocker when using the internet.

It’s so secure that the first thing under Wikipedia’s entry for Secure boot is Secure boot criticism

Yes this is a real, I’m not joking.

You’re in linuxmemes did you not expect a meme? xD

Also: Yes it’s a meme based on a true story (see the other comments for more details)

The meme itself is based on https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/historical-battle-shitposts-decisive-victory

AFAIK a new battery + entering the Bitlocker recovery key fixed the problems.

Usually these batteries hold for years. I have a 15+ year old laptop where I had to replace the battery after ~10 years.

However the affected laptops are now a few years old, aren’t designed properly (I heard weird stuff happening like adding additional RAM somehow causes the display to fail) and somehow just have a CR2016 battery installed, not a bigger CR2032. And yes these are buisness-laptops designed for companies -.-

Yes, multiple of our Windows laptops today couldn’t boot and displayed a BitLocker error message and all affected laptops somehow had an empty BIOS battery…

Although I couldn’t find any source about the Falklands, the same definetly happend in New Zealand:

• https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21501-boiled-to-death-penguins-are-back-from-the-brink/

So I think it’s very likely that it also happend at the opposite side of Antarctica.

Apart from the 80% of the entries that are basically “Crashed during bad weather” - my personal highlights:

… breaks loose from its mooring during a storm and is blown over the English Channel; after sightings in Wales and Ireland and a brief touchdown in Belfast, the airship was blown out over the Atlantic Ocean and is never seen again.

Zeppelin LZ 8 Deutschland II (brand new) is caught by a wind gust while being walked out of its hangar and damaged beyond repair after it smashes on the roof of the hangar.

… the airship, weighed down with gold and burgundy paint, reached 600 feet altitude before beginning an unplanned right descending turn, making a “controlled descent” into a garbage dump, impaling the blimp on a pine tree, coming down just a quarter-mile from the site of the Hindenburg’s 1937 demise.

… suffers an intentional mid-air collision with a radio-controlled airplane.

Lemmy is open source, so feel free to go back to Reddit

I did this because it looked better this way… and it was totally 100% intentional :D

What do you mean? An african or european owl?

Is this a crosspost from https://lemmy.world/post/29709088 ?

Just keep using Remote Desktop Connection aka mstsc.exe?

It’s even recommended by Microsoft:

Although replacements have been released, as of the release of the Windows App, Remote Desktop Client is still recommended for use.

That GitHub comment makes my brain hurt and gives me Microsoft community forum advisor (run ChEcKDiSK tO mAYbe fIX tHe ProBLem) and “leave the multi-billion dollar company alone” vibes.

Also it’s not a single line - when looking at the source file - and a complete section instead.

GitHub Copilot, as used in the documentation here, is free and integrated into the IDE.

1. It’s inside the dotnet Docs. dotnet has nothing to do with an IDE. You can code/run dotnet code in any editor or terminal if you like.
2. This person assumes that Visual Studio is the only IDE for dotnet. Looks like they never heard of Rider or VS Code or anything else.

I do not think that you can call it an ad if it is for a free tool.

WTF is he defining as an ad? “Advertising is the practice and techniques employed to bring attention to a product or service”. The whole section is bascially “Hey you can use Copilot to do this” - that’s an ad right there.

Even if you interpret this as encouraging users to pay

Makes no sense. Does this person think ad = you have to pay for it???

it is hardly the first time that dotnet documentation guides users towards paid Microsoft products: are we going to start complaining about all pages with references to Azure next?

1. A deployment target is not the same as “AI”
2. If a page/section is not named like “How to deploy example app to Azure” then it shouldn’t contain any reference to Azure. And yes you should complain about such stuff if it exists.

The only part of this I actually object to is that I don’t think that what essentially amounts to ‘prompt an LLM’ belongs in documentation, although at the very least the page does disclose that the output may be erroneous.

That’s basically what the whole issue is about. WTF are you even talking about then? Just shut up and give an upvote.

Overall a totally useless comment.
