MS is ratcheting up the 'mandatory Microsoft account' on Windows, probably for this reason. The 'identity strongly bound with the device' stuff on corporate devices is being tested and secured in that environment, and i

Wondering aloud -- this is clearly PII, but it's public information. The site would be subject to GDPR, and other rules from the EU, and folks may want to have their data hidden or removed. What would be the exposure for sourcing EU

Windows is cleaning up a lot of legacy drivers. A bunch of printers (+ scanners) that predate updates to the printer driver framework in recent versions of windows just don't have functioning drivers anymore, despite being perfectly f

Most non-Apple branded keyboards are NOT tested with mac; so it doesn't trust any electronic tags/labels, nor does it keep a database. Easiest thing to make it work 100% without asking the user to identify their layout, is to p

And sometimes, it seems like there's no fallback if you have no [working] smartphone. I knew someone who had a working smartphone, but a broken camera for few months. Couldn't scan any qrcodes to use these services till the phon

I agree on principal, but I often find that the GUI abstractions don't always map to the linux tooling/terminology/concepts, which often ends with a head bashing against the wall thinking "this is linux, I know it can do

A few years ago; perl 6 renamed itself to 'raku', so the perl 5 folks can continue to improve/maintain the original 'perl'.

I LOVED the TI calc forums. I got my hands on enough parts (and went to radio shack to get the rest) to make my own cable from the parallel port to the 2.5mm jack they had back then. I'm still amazed they cost as much now, as they did

I'm on Debian bookworm, and a screenshot is one Meta-Shift-S -- I just highlight the region I want to capture, and I get a dialog prompting me to (with one click) copy to clipboard, save to file, or annotate. There's a handful of

It's in good fun, physically visiting them is way more fun than handing a SIP trunk to a short script + CSV file. The nerd in me is just always curious about the backend :)

Why do banks go through all the know-your-customer (KYC) process if not to identify the beneficial owner of every account? If they receive a transfer via fraud, then they either get it clawed back, have to pay it back, and/or get iden

They require a phone that can log into an App store, so unless parents can work around that, then yes?

A lot of schools use apps like 'ParentSquare' to interact and manage the student/teacher/parent relationship, and do not offer the same level of communication through traditional channels anymore.

FWIW; Every Lenovo I've used in recent history had a setting in the BIOS to remap Fn/Ctrl. On my assigned machine, I have it swapped so Ctrl is in the lower left spot because otherwise I'd lose my mind trying to figure it out
