I'm specifically not doing that but I wanted to know more about this software that can't be switched off and that demands camera and mic access and blocks windows from denying that access. Does your company have an IT security department? Can you email them and ask what the reasoning is? I know in my company, we have governmental security controls that we have to prove are in place, and that dictates what security agents are installed and how they're configured.

Yeah that's even more reason to only use the work laptop for work. You don't want to be the one that lets something slip by and effs the company because they have no real security infrastructure.

Any trustworthy ISO-to-USB writer program for Windows 10 that doesn't require admin rights?

Jerry Cotton posted:Any trustworthy ISO-to-USB writer program for Windows 10 that doesn't require admin rights? If you need to make it old-style bootable, there's no avoiding it. You need admin rights to make a handful of raw writes to the drive. If you're booting via UEFI, just copy the files from the ISO to the USB drive. (Which you can access via right click mount on the ISO, or 7zip, or winrar, etc.) Also the drive might need to be formatted as FAT32.

Jerry Cotton posted:Well gently caress. Guess I'll need to go back home and rebuild my PC to write the drat thing. UEFI is the stuff that runs before the operating system. It's the replacement for BIOS. Depending on brand, motherboards made in the last 8-12 years should have the ability to boot from a flash drive where all you did is copy the files from the ISO onto it. But no guarantees, because hardware companies love to screw things up. Edit: Though google suggests that Kali might be dumb and not support it. The ISO does have to be set up the right way, but what laziness that is to not do it... Dylan16807 fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Feb 10, 2020 |

Ugh, in that case, do whatever with that laptop. Doesn't sound like IT actually cares enough to secure it properly. Just don't do your personal banking on it.

Not really Windows-specific, but I'm not sure there's anywhere better to ask... Anyone have a good place for getting curated selections of wav files to use as notification sounds? Various programs I use let you use set sounds to use for alerts and actions and it'd be nice to have good quality and maybe even themed-alike sounds to use. Free is best of course. I found soundsnap, but it seems pretty expensive for the utility I'd get. Thermopyle fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Feb 12, 2020 |

Nothing better than a Me busy, live me alone notification sound on new email. Sure, they're not "free", but if you have the game you can probably find the tools online to extract the sounds.

You could download phone notifications sounds from different Android phones - like Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi Note etc. There are .zip archives available that contain all notification sounds. Might need to convert them to .wav, but that's easily done even in batch using something like foobar2000.

They still sell the desktop version separately, but yeah, they want to sell you either planner the webpage or planner the central database service. They have dumb names for them, but that's what they are.

I guess I should have mentioned that I am using the Dev channel which might mean it's just something that's not rolled out to the stable build yet if that's what you're using. I have all of the data collection stuff turned off in my Windows settings as well, though.

I'm looking for software that can help me organize a bunch of files. I have hundreds of 3d print models downloaded from various sources, in various formats, some are zipped, some aren't, it's a mess. I want something that lets me organize an arbitrary file type into something searchable, preferably with tags, that can set a bunch of files as a group (say, multiple files that are part of one model), and if it can show windows thumbnails that's even better. Is there anything like that out there?

I don't have any specific recommendations but "digital asset management" is the type of software you're asking for, so maybe that will give you some google keywords to help out if no one else pipes in with their favorite. Obviously that's a pretty broad category and you'll run into a lot of enterprise level solutions, but there's smaller projects out there too.
