Yeah fair enough. The login screen should still provide good protection in a TPM-only scenario. (Although it had some vulnerabilities in the past: https://secret.club/2021/01/15/bitlocker-bypass.html )

To decrypt a drive with a TPM-only key you just need to turn on the PC . So what's the big deal here? It's disappointing that TPM-only is the default for Bitlocker, but you can just use something else (pin/password, key

I don't know, honestly. But if it's just a matter of reducing bloat, you don't really need LTSC. For example, you can remove preinstalled apps on Home/Pro with a line in Powershell: https://www.tenforums.com

If you leave Edge installed it will start automatically and run in the background by default. But that can be disabled in the settings. If you don't intend to use Edge, I suggest you uninstall it before you give Windows internet access

That's because BC "won" and took over the indie market, so now they can afford to offer additional features and services. And, frankly, I'm not sure that this market is big enough to accommodate more players. Even BC is

Bandcamp alternatives have existed for a while. Not just server software, but complete stores. The challenge lies in convincing people (buyers and sellers) to start using them.

Inkjets are still cheaper, smaller and can usually be refilled cheaply (with some drilling...). They might also be less toxic.

Windows 10 LTSC is still regular Windows and AFAIK all software, games included, work just fine on it. The MS Store is missing out of the box, but you can add it with 'wsreset -i' in Powershell. Using LTSC arguably takes less eff

Sometimes when I want to "right click" something, it's more comfortable to use the Menu key than to reach for the mouse. For example, when going through a list of items with the arrow keys.

1. WhatsApp came out two years before iMessage. 2. Apple has made it clear that they want iMessage to be an exclusive app and it works as intended; people are literally buying iPhones to use it.

Signal is strongly focused on secure communication, so it never made any sense for it to support SMS/MMS. I think bundling different protocols in the same app is a bad idea in general. Besides the security and functionality problems, i

Honest question, does anybody ever consider that excluding non-iPhone users from a group chat is a dick move? How hard it is to install a cross-platform app? Some of these apps also work in a web browser on any OS, which is a nice advantage

24H is definitely the norm when the time is written down or displayed on a screen. But when spoken, people often/mostly say "at 4" rather than "at 16" (I think this varies somewhat from country to country).
