They said it was their corp. networks and not their software but who knows for sure.
- Comment on So, this, now, needed saying. 3 days ago:
Why is it on a post it note? Did he write that himself and sign it?
- Comment on So, this, now, needed saying. 3 days ago:
I can’t read it.
- Comment on VW will invest up to $5 billion in Rivian as part of new EV joint venture 3 days ago:
90% sure I saw this guy at a Margaritaville in Palm Springs. Looked exactly like him, had a lanyard and had some sort of assistant walking with him.
- Comment on Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows? 4 days ago:
If there was a calf or bull around I wouldn’t walk through.
You can yell at them and they might disperse. If they don’t then you’d be able to walk through them.
Cows just don’t like to be startled, that’s about it.

- Comment on “We Can Still Contact Technical Support in the West”: Russian weapons are being manufactured on foreign machinery — but why are they still running? 1 week ago:
I think this makes the intermediate company a military target?
- Comment on Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser 1 week ago:
One one hand, this can be pretty annoying.
On the other, when thinking about the lowest common denominator general user that’s been tricked into running some awful PUP-ware browser, I can understand MS’s point.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser 1 week ago:
It’s probably the browser, not the OS, that’s doing this. The teams are separate although someone in upper management oversees them both.
- Comment on Disable windows updates 1 week ago:
It was pretty simple to stop windows 11.
Updates will eventually restart but not unprompted. There is a combination of settings you can set that will install updates right away and restart soon after, but it’s not default.
The vpn issue didn’t affect all vpn software and a workaround was available.
MS adds features to their products and are pretty forceful about getting you to use them.
- Comment on Disable windows updates 1 week ago:
Win11 isnt forced.
Breaking vpns was a result of security fixes and was addressed. This is normal for all OS’s that get patched.
There’s no restarting without prompting.
Copilot is optional.
I don’t need to go on.
- Comment on Disable windows updates 1 week ago:
Just disable the windows update services.
You could also use a allowlist firewall rule to restrict access to what you need.
Also why the paranoia? What do you have against windows updates?

- Comment on Do companies store facial and voice recognition data from the thousands of hours of zoom/teams calls that their employees use? 1 month ago:
With Teams, a user can opt into voice and facial recognition. The benefits are that you can be attributed in conference rooms and in transcription.
Your voice and facial recognition info is deleted when your user account is de-licensed for 30+ days.
This only applies to your tenant though. It doesn’t work when you join meetings from other tenants.
That being said, the tech is there and it’s approaching commodity-levels.
- Comment on Reddit brings back its old award system — ‘we messed up’ 1 month ago:
I almost thought that closing awards, taking the money, then opening awards was a scam to defraud people of their money.
Then I realized awards was a scam all along.
- Comment on 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good? 1 month ago:
Not from Los Angeles are ya?
- Comment on Microsoft PC Manager App 'Repairs' Your System by Making Bing the Search Default 1 month ago:
You know how many times I’ve had to remove a spyware/adware browser, extensions, and homepage from a family members computer? Too many.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams 1 month ago:
I think they were using electron and moved to webview2? They blogged about it a long while back.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams 1 month ago:
It’s still supported under VDI environments which is why the toggle still exists at all.
Not the best rollout of a MS product but I give them credit for realizing that they needed to switch the underlying code base completely to be more efficient, and actually committing to it.

- Comment on In Air Conditioners, what are EERs and how can I use it to calculate my electricity costs. 1 month ago:
Too many variables. Energy usage isn’t constrained to efficiency of the hvac.
What’s the energy consumption of your current unit? compare that equipment to a newer model to get an idea.

Set it loose and let it build a wall wherever it wants

- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 1 month ago:
Biden could announce that he’s set up a deadman switch so that once the law is enacted, mercs would take out the people that ruled in favor of the law.
- Comment on I'm a Tenured College Professor. I'm Quitting. Here's Why. 1 month ago:
I wonder if adjunct professors aren’t even called professors. My ex and all of her colleges were getting paid in the 80k range at cal state la, which publishes their salaries online.
