Sure I can agree with this (if it's actually viable to do). My reply was mostly to try and explain that the issue wasn't due to a driver update but rather an existing driver failing to work with a new file it was using hence why t

The update wasn’t actually a kernel driver but a configuration file. While I agree that there should be some changes to mitigate such problems it was a policy/config file that the existing untouched driver was reading and then causing

Nested virtualization would be needed if you want to test out a Windows VM with the various Hyper-V integrations like WSL2, credential guard, etc.

It was an offhand comment from some dev that was seen as some as a promise. MS certainly tried to do a rolling update model but shifted a few times in the frequency to finally releasing Windows 11.

While yes they did introduce GUI changes they also introduced a lot more fundamental changes. Typically the second release is seen as better because it's usually a refined version or at least the changes had more time to perculate. For

It's more for pwsh (7+) as that bundles it's own copy of the .NET runtime. The powershell.exe (5.1) is the version included in Windows and uses a shared copy of the .NET Framework included in the GAC. When looking at the size of m

Ah if you want auto completion for native commands they need to be registered first. PSReadLine provides autocompletion support but it only works by default with things builtin to PowerShell itself. For `git` there is a fairly popular modul

It's been shipped with PowerShell since v5.1 (Windows 10/Server 2016). There have been numerous updates to PSReadLine since then to add more features but tab completion has worked for years and is IMO one of the biggest selling po

To escape $ you either need to use a single quoted string so the $ is treated literally or in a double quoted string use a backtick before the $ to escape it Write-Host 'Foo$Bar' Write-Host "Foo`$Bar"

PowerShell also needs all the other dll's located next to the executable so it's way more than 440k. Granted I agree that this isn't a space they really care about and the problem is more due to the dependency on .NET itself.

For me Hyprland offers the ability to share a specific window or region whereas Sway could only do the entire monitor. As I have an ultra widescreen monitor sharing a specific window or region is pretty important to me but I can see why oth

You can, it’s just that going the PInvoke route can be quite complicated. It can certainly be done but typically finding a good community module that has already done so makes things a lot easier.

I’ve found the easiest option available here is through using Azure KeyVault to store the keys. I use a custom module to sign my PowerShell scripts and dlls [1] for this because I can integrate it with OIDC to sign the code using the keys s

You essentially replace a function with your own. The project is at https://github.com/microsoft/Detours . I’ve created a PowerShell module that wraps this library to make it easier to hook functions on the fly for test

Luckily they both didn't have rich parents in charge of large companies. Not saying they didn't work hard but they certainly had help financially that unfortunately normal people probably don't have.

That's what PyYAML does as well. It uses PEP 518 [1] to specify the dependencies for the build which PyYAML has included Cython [2]. It's just that for previous releases there was no upper bound here so pip and other tools just se

That's unfortunately a pip limitation. You can either disable build isolation so that the build requirements are using your current environment or you can use the PIP_CONSTRAINTS env var which will be passed through to the isolated bui

If it is TLS you can get the keys used in the session from lsass’ memory. I’ve even written a tool to do so in PowerShell https://gist.github.com/jborean93/6c1f1b3130f2675f1618da5663... . This will generate a log file t

Most of the complaints I've seen are about the number of args and the complexity of calling it vs something simple like fork. There are a lot of knobs to turn which you need to be explicit about. That's not even getting into the w
