I only ever use Firefox myself, keeping Edge as a backup in case I come across a site that doesn’t work properly, which is rare but does happen at times. I avoid Chrome where possible.
It’s probably more of an activist stance at this stage. Chrome is the new IE6 in my opinion, and Firefox is one of the last browsers left that isn’t based on Chromium’s engine.

Never used that part of it, I have Bitwarden for that.

I thought I’d share this in case it’s useful to someone who wants a replacement for Microsoft Money that isn’t cloud-based.
While exploring KDE’s application suite, I saw they have KMyMoney which looks like it could be a Microsoft Money replacement. They even have a Windows version available. And since it’s from KDE, it’s open source.

I’ve been using 24H2 since last June in Release Preview with no Start menu mods. It has been mostly fine. My only real issue is with the address bar in File Explorer, it sometimes appears blank.
Does Sudo for Windows truly act like sudo in Linux, because the Windows administrator account is not fully equivalent to the Linux root account. Using sudo, can I now delete or change files and directories owned by Installer or System without taking ownership and changing permissions first? Can I now view log files that are opened by another task?
No, it works the same way as running something as admin, it just lets you do it from a non-elevated terminal. My recommendation would be AdvancedRun by Nirsoft, that lets you run a command prompt as TrustedInstaller or System if you need to, without having to change permissions.

I once got into an argument with someone on Facebook over this. They were claiming that they could pick up LTSC for $5. I replied to say that the licence was not legal and that these websites that sell cheap keys are all stolen or redistributed VL and MSDN keys. His response was “you work for an MSP, you should know better”. Umm… yeah I do know better, I know more about how Microsoft licensing works!

It is my understanding that this “bypassnro” needs to be used for ALL Windows 11 installations not just Home to be allowed to set up a Local Account, No?
I’m expecting my new computer build next week with Windows 11 Pro 24H2. Maingear (the builder) will probably be loading whatever they currently have sometime this week. When will this announcement take affect?
For those still successfully being able to use the “bypassnro” for a Local Account, does this mean MS is planning on “force implementing” this on all of us in future updates?
IF forced into an initial MS Account at setup, will we still be able to switch to a Local Account after the fact?
No, it’s only required on Home. On the others, use the “Domain join instead” option in the “sign-in options” link, even if you don’t plan to join it to a domain. That will create a local account.

No, but it reminds me of the forum software vBulletin, which used to say:
“We can’t help you ignore yourself”

One issue I am aware of with Pop is that it insists on a much larger EFI system partition than Windows does. Windows is happy with a 100MB partition (100 or 260 is the default, depending on the disk sector size), whereas Pop wants 1GB! So if you already have Windows installed, it might be a bit messy.

As mentioned in the Reddit thread, it’s possible that someone was trying to reset your password. My guess about the different languages is probably what local Yahoo site they attempted the login from. I had one a few years ago with my Google account.
Thanks. How frequently, if ever, was your Google account receiving Google account login codes that you didn’t request? E.g., was that a one time series of emails like I have had (so far?), or did it become a regular/frequent occurrence? If the latter, do you recall about how how long it persisted? Not asking about the Indonesian spam in general, but specifically about unrequested account login codes (presumably Inodenesian as well).
It happened twice. On the first occasion, I got a message in Indonesian, but the links all looked legitimate so I don’t think it was phishing. On the second one, I got a text to my phone with a Google verification code. That was when I changed the password on the account, but decided shortly after to just delete it entirely and set up the new one linked to my Outlook.com address.
