    • RE: User profile migration to new Windows 11 PCs

      @xavierdelaraunt said in User profile migration to new Windows 11 PCs:

      Also, even the latest Windows 11 USMT from the ADK does not include favorites etc from any of the latest browsers. Not even Edge.

      They aren't using the web browsers sync for all that? All web browser stuff should be synced. I wouldn't be able to function without it, using so many different OSs across many different devices. Favorites / bookmarks / etc shouldn't even need to be considered in migrations these days.

      They don't even need to manually sign in to the browser for the sync to work depending on your config.

      I agree with 99.999% of this... What I don't believe is the big bang theory... or at least not in the same way that has become popularized.

      I believe that our universe is the result (the inside of) of a black hole forming in the universe that the black hole formed in.

      The creation of the black hole, the formation and beginning of our universe, is what the "big bang" is.

    • RE: Recommendation for home WiFi router

      @Mario-Jakovina

      I've had a regular tp-link wifi6 router for the past 4 years and has worked well for the family. 25+ devices online and never noticed any slowness.

      Recently bought a Firewalla Gold Plus to put between the internet gateway and the wifi router. Wish I had gotten that years ago. One of the best purchases I made in a long time tbh. I have the wifi router in AP mode now so the firewalla does the routing and everything else instead, wifi seems faster now that it's not doing as much anymore.

      Is calling a meeting to take the time of several people or more really the most effective use of resources if one needs help with something? I can't agree to that.

      I gotta go back to Ubuntu I suppose... I just wish there were better games for it...

      I use Ubuntu as well, and never had an issue playing any and all Windows games on it. Some may not have behaved or performed as well as on Windows, but if you're that bad with Windows it's likely not going to be a show stopper for you.

      And just this evening I went to watch TV and I came back... Guess what? Windows decided to reboot for updates while I was gone...

      Lol. That's your own fault for ignoring the updates for so long and/or not setting your active hours and other update preferences.

    • RE: How to get Chrome to remember which monitors to open on

      @CCWTech said in How to get Chrome to remember which monitors to open on:

      Unless I am missing something, it looks like that won't work. It all opens in ONE Window. So I don't see that it will drag the tabs the way they were...

      I use Edge, multiple tabs and windows, along with a platform that uses multiple windows. I use FancyZones to keep it where I want, and it always remembers it. I don't remember if there's a setting in PowerToys to "remember". There might be actually. It even remembers where everything is when I take off a monitor or put it back. (laptop with two monitor extensions from it in that case, another case dual monitors)

      Never any issues with it remembering where all my browser and software windows are. I can't imagine it working with Edge but not Google Chrome.

      Cocoon Nebula (IC5146)
      2024.10.24 @ 22:00
      Alt: 73°

      The Cocoon Nebula, also known as IC5146, is a fascinating emission and reflection nebula located about 3,300 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. This nebula is a stellar nursery where new stars are forming, with a bright central star that illuminates the surrounding gas and dust, giving the nebula its soft, cocoon-like appearance. The Cocoon is linked to a dark nebula, a dense, starless region called Barnard 168, which stretches out like a trail behind it, obscuring the background stars.

      The Cocoon Nebula sits in one of the Milky Way’s richest star fields, so it's dark trail and glowing cloud stand out even more against a sea of distant stars.

      Setup:
      C8-XLT + f/6.3 reducer @ 1208mm focal length
      iOptron mount, tracking
      Ares-C Pro camera
      Optolong L-Pro filter
      SharpCap Pro & Siril

      Total exposure time: 8 hours
      Processing: mediocre

      Dumbbell Nebula (M27, Apple Core Nebula)
      2024.10.19 @ 22:00
      Alt: 70°

      The Dumbbell Nebula is one of the brightest planetary nebulae in the sky, located around 1,360 light-years away in the constellation Vulpecula. What you’re seeing is the glowing remnants of a dying star that has shed its outer layers, with the central star still visible at the core. The distinctive "Apple Core" or "Dumbbell" shape comes from the expanding gas.

      Interestingly, M27 was the first planetary nebula to ever be discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764.

      Setup:
      C8-XLT + f/6.3 reducer
      iOptron mount, tracking
      Ares-C Pro camera
      Optolong L-Pro filter
      SharpCap Pro & Siril

      Total exposure time: 6 hours and 15 minutes
      Focal length: 1208mm
      Processing: minimal, time & weather constraints

      want to find a non-kernel based solution and that the EU is at fault.

      https://www.csoonline.com/article/3483641/crowdstrike-backs-microsofts-demand-for-reducing-kernel-level-access.html

      I still say it could have been avoided if CrowdStrike had tested the change on a single device prior to releasing it publicly. It could have been a simple automated test as part of their release pipeline.

      Even a better rollout strategy could have prevented it from going too far.

      What's funny is that CS is now saying that they have decided to start testing their releases with the use of "besides showing interest in working with Microsoft to work on the “kernel-level restrictions” development, is also taking a new approach to certify each new sensor release through the “Windows Hardware Quality Labs."

      Whats also funny is that if you look at almost any open source software of similar caliber, they do all that stuff in their build and release pipelines or other work flows before public releases.
