Yeah I just use the Google one. I guess it would be cool to keep them all locked up myself but using Chrome and a pixel means it's just convenient I will say passkey wouldn't be as annoying if I still used my pixel 4. Does anyone have a usb thumb reader or anything for their PC? My laptop (dell XPS) and phone have one of course, but I've always considered a 30$ usb finger print reader for the sake of convenience but never get past pontificating

(Though you can sync in-browser passwords with a google or firefox account.) Also IMO if your browser account is google, that's the account you want protected by a very strong password. My google account, via gmail, holds the recovery power for most of my other accounts. My google password is 16 random characters that I can't memorize, so stronger than my password manager's. Flipperwaldt posted:Do any of the browser password managers need to be unlocked before auto filling? Firefox: by default passwords are not locally secure / encrypted at all. If you set up a firefox account and store them there, they are secured. You have to unlock with the FF account password every time you want to auto-fill. (Firefox's password manager is bad.) Chrome: default password storage is secured by your OS -- so they are as strongly protected as your OS user password. I've not tried sync to google account so don't know exactly how that goes.

Isn’t Win 10 Education basically the better replacement for LTSC? Has more updates, still not too much bloat, and you can just use Group Policy to lock yourself on Windows 10 22H2 or whatever.

Lack of windows store is definitely a problem for casual users and I certainly wouldn’t want to be the one recommending or setting it up for them. I’ve recommended an oddball build for a relative once. Never again  LTSC or some custom Windows version is a neat project for power users but the (to be fair, annoying and regressive in design) newer version of Windows is necessary for anybody who calls for help or clicks on the first search result when they have a problem.

Ah, I didn’t know about that flavor of LTSC. I was mentioning that you’ll need to use group policy to lock at 22H2 on Win 10 Edu because if you don’t, you’ll wake up one morning and find that it’s updated itself to Win 11 without your consent.

I'm just guessing, but wouldn't LTSC lack new features like ryzen3d/intel scheduling tweaks, new gaming PC features and optimizations, auto HDR for my OLED monitor, and better multi monitor support? I prefer chocolatey GUI as a package manager but windows store hijacked some of the stuff I installed, but using both keeps me 95% updated and security patched.

It's trivial to edit one reg key to install Windows 11 on unsupported devices. Microsoft says they may block patches from these devices but they won't.

Yes. The post by MikusR is kinda dumb: LTSC isn't getting "feature" updates either. It just gets some extra years of security updates past standard Win10, which stops getting updates in 2025. All flavors on 10 are now only getting security and bugfix updates. For nerds and enthusiasts, TBQH you should either be looking at 11 or looking at getting away from Windows entirely. If you hate what MS does with your PC, leave MS. Attempting to fight against the current by pirating Enterprise LTSC is stupid.

Attempting to fight against the current by pirating Enterprise LTSC is stupid. I guess, but it's a bit annoying that my perfectly decent-spec computer is getting told it's not good enough for Win 11, and while GreenNight is right that you can trivially bypass the block, I'm a little worried that by forcing unsupported hardware onto Win 11 I might end up getting bricked by an update.

anybody happen to have a new solution for the xbox app refusing to go beyond 1% on installing a game. all the google solutions are just uninstall it, reinstall it, reinstall gaming services, etc., which i've done, but doing that doesn't even clear the stuck 1% installation from the download queue. similarly gets stuck on canceling the installation and explorer doesn't let me delete the xboxgames folder edit: never mind, posting about it made it work after a sixth restart for no reason Super No Vacancy fucked around with this message at 15:53 on May 13, 2023 |

I'm losing my mind here. I don't like how narrow the default Name column is in Explorer. I've set it to be wider, and I want to apply that to all subfolders of a given folder. It won't take. In Properties, I've set the parent folder to apply its template to all subfolders, and in Options>View, I've set it to apply to all folders of its type (and all the folders involved are of the General Items type). No matter what, the subfolders keep their current Name widths.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a video converter? I have some old home videos in a .vob container that I can play fine in MPC-BE but not through PLEX so I'd like to convert them, so far the following have not worked for me: Handbrake Tdarr MakeMKV Any Video Converter Shutter Encoder XMedia Reencode I think the reason they all fail is because they all use ffmpeg in some form underneath but I don't know video stuff very well. I'd have given up already after trying so many different programs unsuccessfully but I can play the file so I figure there must be *some* way to convert it. The details, as given by MPC-BE, are these: https://0bin.net/paste/0XZ2z3Qg#0LvooQP9uFyhXGz51LEQmEQZrXQhKjot8197rzWprT-

Here's an issue I'm facing: I have too many fonts installed; this is a consequence of having done a lot of photoshopping over the years. A lot of the fonts I have were used for one project and then forgotten. I'd like to clean them up a little bit. I also do a lot of work in Polish, and a lot of the fonts I have installed don't support Polish diacritic marks: ąćęńłóźż. Is there an easy way to get rid of every font that doesn't support these glyphs?

So if you have those use it. If you have just the VOBs just use handbrake. No ffmpeg knowledge needed.

As mentioned above, Handbrake unfortunately is unable to convert the file. So far I've tried: Handbrake Tdarr MakeMKV Any Video Converter Shutter Encoder XMedia Reencode VLC mkvtoolnix Avidemux Davinci Resolve All of which were either unable to read the file, or able to read it but not export/create a readable video from it. The playback in MPC-BE works fine. I can skip around, the audio and video are in sync and the total and remaining time are shown correctly. These are the video properties: https://0bin.net/paste/CLWX8NW-#1jeY-gnBCBD4defLABXgoqRb0K4b48B/i609zIEOw8Q
