Rufus still lets you create Windows To Go installations on a USB drive. (unsupported by Microsoft as you mentioned)

I am curious about your DISM approach, are you just applying the Windows install image onto the USB? Or are you doing it the long way by imaging a normally installed Windows system first? I am very familiar with DISM but never tried applying an entire usable Windows install onto a USB drive that way.

There's no Microsoft official way to do that.

But unofficially - Use Rufus to install Windows To Go on your USB drive with your Windows 11 ISO.

Microsoft discontinued Windows To Go in 2019 so in theory a future Windows update could break those type of installs but for now they still seem to work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_To_Go

~~PS - If Lockdown Browser works in a virtual machine environment maybe you also have the option of installing Windows 11 in QEMU + Virt-Manager and just running a Windows VM that way. Works great under Debian.~~

EDIT: Doing a quick search it looks like Lockdown Browser actually tries to check for virtual machine usage, ugh. Guess they really want you to run a physicial system for that :/ https://support.respondus.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409604116123-I-receive-a-warning-The-browser-cant-be-used-in-virtual-machine-software-such-as-Virtual-PC-VMWare-and-Parallels

Yeah I was going to say the same. A year ago I couldn't get any VNC to work under Wayland and gave up on the idea, nowadays just use RDP (Xrdp, Gnome RDP, etc.). I don't usually need screen sharing specifically so RDP fits my use case perfectly.

But it's great to see VNC catching up, more remote options are always better.

tutamail, for example, states that the free plan is not to be used to signup for services.

Just.. don't. Tuta is probably fine for paid services but they're well known for nuking free accounts for various reasons. And they might not enable you to send/receive from a free account to begin with - Last time I attempted to create a free account there, then asked support if they could enable me to be able to send/receive some emails, instead of responding they simply nuked my new free account.

That's interesting, apparently it was mentioned on github but nothing seems to have changed in the end

Haven't used that software in a long time but maybe there's an opt-out somewhere during runtime? Although I don't see why a user needs to be required to opt out of nonsense like this when just writing firmware to a USB disk.

Only ever touched balenaEtcher when some project or distro recommended it. Overall prefer Rufus for this sort of thing when working on Windows.

In August, Canoo moved its headquarters from Torrance, Calif., to Justin, Texas — asking 137 of the office’s 194 employees to relocate, while cutting the remaining staff.

Yikes, not great for all those employees that moved their entire lives out to TX just to get laid off. They weren't even working in TX long enough to qualify for unemployment. Hopefully they were getting paid enough to deal with relocation and maybe have enough saved up to get the hell out of TX after this.

Maybe you meant Reddit admins?

Reddit moderators don't have access to IP addresses nor have the ability to ban someone based on an IP address.

That's some low effort spam, no wonder even Reddit's default spam filter caught it and that mod had to manually approve it. Back when I was helping mod on Reddit we used to see that sort of discord link spam nearly every day. Just spam/removed it & moved on.

The sad thing is that r/Piracy mod likely got scammed himself. Besides that mod who would really believe a scammer is going to send $800 via PayPal of all things? Most likely some sort of scam/hacked account, the payment will be reversed and that mod's PayPal account may get locked/banned in the process.

I have a 13 series chip, it had some reproducible crashing issues that so far have subsided by downclocking it.

From the article:

the company confirmed a patch is coming in mid-August that should address the “root cause” of exposure to elevated voltage. But if your 13th or 14th Gen Intel Core processor is already crashing, that patch apparently won’t fix it.

Citing unnamed sources, Tom’s Hardware reports that any degradation of the processor is irreversible, and an Intel spokesperson did not deny that when we asked.

If your CPU is already crashing then that's it, game over. The upcoming patch cannot fix it. You've got to figure out if you can do a warranty replacement or continue to live with workarounds like you're doing now.

Their retail boxed CPUs usually have a 3(?) year warranty so for a 13th gen CPU you may be midway or at the tail end of that warranty period. If it's OEM, etc. it could be a 1 year warranty aka Intel isn't doing anything about it unless a class action suit forces them :/

The whole situation sucks and honestly seems a bit crazy that Intel hasn't already issued a recall or dealt with this earlier.

Same here.

Interestingly back when myself & others were moderating subs on Reddit, & we locked the subs during the protests, the majority of PMs us mods would receive were from randoms that found a link via Google or wherever & were trying to view the post. It did make me wonder how often people browse Reddit just because they stumbled into a link via Google or whatever search engine.

I can't see how Reddit would survive without the big search engines, without those random visitors the ad revenue would plummet.

Automation apps have gotten more popular over the years so yes, they are still a thing.

Sonarr/Radarr are the most popular ones but there are others too. Most work with torrents and usenet but you'd need to check the individual projects to be sure.
