Nice to hear! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I like your funny words, magic man

I’ll have to disagree on that one, WiFi extenders extend an existing network, keeping the same network and DHCP is done by the original access point.

A hotspot creates a new network, and DHCP is handled by the hotspot, not the network on the WAN side.

Thanks for the source, super interesting read! I would’ve guessed 1-5% as well.

Questions in surveys like this are sometimes repeated with slight variations to get more accurate results.

Mostly the people making the decisions, but don’t feel too bad, the EU is rapidly shifting to the right as well. The main positive takeaway is I’ve never seen the EU this unified.

I am, and I recognise their value, but it’s not worth 43 million.

A non-issue? Nepotism burning through €43 million a year is a non-issue?

I personally know two people who’ve cancelled US trips, one of which is because she’s gay.

Really wondering when they’ll realise just how fucked they are.

Belgian chiming in, people here really have* developed a strong distaste for the US. I’d say 90% of people I know don’t care at all for the monarchy, but this is blasted in the news as an example no one is safe from USA’s shenanigans.

Professors and Universities are condemning this, it’s such a major step in the wrong direction once again.

You should see the size of his…

Socks, is what I always say!

I agree, the encryption should be deliberate choice. And we’ve said nothing yet about the impact on performance.

You used to almost be forced to make a recovery CD or USB when encrypting a drive, now people don’t even know how ‘important’ the MS account actually is.

Bypassnro is the old method, no longer working since 24H2. I’ve tested this method on GitHub and it works for normal AND S-mode devices.

• Ctrl + Shift + J before selecting secondary keyboard layout (sometimes you need to click on the outside borders of the form so the dev console pops up)
• Type this (can use autocomplete): WinJS.Application.restart(“ms-cxh://LOCALONLY”)
• Setup with local account

All the time, then people get ran around in circles, are given a too technical explanation and give up more often than not.

The encryption is not inherently a bad thing, but forcing people into account creation is where the trouble starts. With piss-poor customer support as the cherry on top, this should never be allowed.

Floss, drink water and live active!

Yes it does, a client needed this documentation and I’ve tested it extensively. The only exception is when S-Mode is enabled.

You are wrong for now, it is still possible.

• Ctrl + Shift + F3 during setup gives you access to sysprep
• In an admin CMD you can excecute the BypassNRO.cmd script. In C:\Windows\System32\oobe\
• I have encountered one 24H2 installation where the oobe folder was empty, but if you copy the file from another device it works just the same
• Reboot from sysprep and you can now select “Install without internet” when selecting a WIFI

This will not work if you’re already connected to a wifi. BypassNRO sets a registry flag, so it’s only a matter of time till they patch it out, but it works for now.

Edit: Rufus also allows the creation of a local user when making the installation USB, skipping the entire setup process.

Amazing, I’m sure you’ve got many an interesting story to tell being in the field for that long.

Ctrl F, “Gay”. How the admin makes a naughty list

This interaction is basically me at a restaurant
