      Actually, I thought your post was clear. Did you walk through all the septs I outlined?

      Screenshot may help:

      If it doesn’t help, then I must be missing something.  Wouldn’t be the first time.

      You can check Firefox History Settings.

      To ensure Firefox retains and accumulates browsing history:

      Type ” about:preferences#privacy ” in the address bar and press Enter.

      Under the “History” section, select “Use custom settings for history.”

      Ensure “Always use private browsing mode” is unchecked.

      Turn on “Remember browsing and download history.”

      Click the “Settings” button next to “History” and turn on “Cache and Form & Search
      history.”

      Click “OK” to save your settings.

      You don’t mention exactly how you are opening the sidebar, but I’m using FF 138 and “Ctrl+h” or the “open history” button on the left is working fine.

      Answer from Microsoft:

      Augmentation loop is Microsoft’s internal LLM toolchain implementation. You can imagine it is like LangChain registered with hundreds of Microsoft tools. Augmentation loop is being used in almost every single M365 product.

    • I’ve also learned that ‘shorter is better’… and ‘thicker is better’.

      I try to buy thicker certified cables, preferably encased with braided metal.

      Some great points. Over the years I’ve collected a mishmash of USB cables. It’s high time I sorted them out!

      Besides testing with a different port that Rick Corbett suggested above, ensure the USB cord you are using is also rated USB 3.2.

      This folder (inetpub) should not be deleted regardless of whether Internet Information Services (IIS) is active on the target device

      This is true. Initially I and I think a few others deleted the inetpub folder, but I changed my mine about it and found it can be correctly re-created following the steps outlined in this bleepingcomputer link. The nested files under inetpub can ALSO be correctly deleted that includes a reboot.  It worked perfectly.

    • Check the start up items in taskmanager.

      For a deeper dive checking startup apps, try Sysinternals Autoruns. I’ll occasionally find an app that does not show in task manager. Click on “logon” to see what is started on boot.

      The ‘cloud’ — to me, anyway — is someone elses computer/server(s).

      You are correct.  Yet there is safe upside to the cloud. Used correctly it will protect all digital assets from any natural disaster. If your house burns down, you stuff is safe.

    • You will have the option to create an account with one of our credential service providers, Login.gov or ID.me.

      I’ve been getting SS for a while, but I updated my login credential service a about 4 months ago via Login.gov.  It’s a bit of a job but worth it for the POM.

      You’ll get a bunch of long one-time use codes to use if your locked out.  I printed them out and put on a thumb drive.
