  1. I got big into the LitRPG genre over the past 18 months. I've read all of Dungeon Crawler Carl, He Who Fights With Monsters, currently reading book 11 of Everybody Loves Large Chests, as well as having read the first book of several different series including Cat Core and Vainqueur the Dragon. Probably more that I can't even remember now.
  2. I can confirm that current models of XtremeMac keyboards and mice still have the same problem on brand new M4 Mac Minis, running macOS Sequoia 15.5. Keyboards model XWH-WIK2-83-UK and mice model XWH-WM02-83.
  3. Only removing access to the Advanced Startup Menu entirely was sufficient. Users were able to access it and choose to boot from a USB device even if those options are not enabled in the BIOS. We were alerted to this problem when a machine was found with Ubuntu installed on it. Luckily we were able to interrogate the Impero logs to identify the user and the actions they took.
  4. I finally completely removed access to the Recovery Options menu with this domain-wide script. Now Shift+Restart does nothing! @echo off REM Check if bootim.exe exists if not exist C:\Windows\System32\bootim.exe goto end REM Take ownership of the file takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\bootim.exe REM Grant full control permissions icacls C:\Windows\System32\bootim.exe /grant administrators:F REM Rename bootim.exe to bootim.azc rename C:\Windows\System32\bootim.exe bootim.azc :end I also removed the Recovery section from the Windows Settings app with this GPO.
  5. @CHiLL I have reagentc /disable already pushed out but it doesn't prevent going into the recovery screen with shift+restart.
  6. Did you mean taskkill with two k's?
  7. I've done a lot of reading these last few months after taking out a Kindle Unlimited subscription, so here's a quick rundown of what I've read and enjoyed recently: * Bobiverse (4 book series) * Dungeon Crawler Carl (7 book series) * He Who Fights with Monsters (11 book series) * Unorthodox Farming (2 book series) Most of these are LitRPG books. Here's a quick GPT description of what that means:
  8. Oh no, some of my favourite WMIC commands are WMIC BIOS GET SERIALNUMBER and WMIC BASEBOARD GET PRODUCT
  9. If SSO works in one method, it'll work in the other.
  10. When this is set to false, the Adobe apps produce their own popup window using a Chromium-based browser that shows the login page.
  11. They show these over on https://www.twitch.tv/oldtimeycomputershow along with a lot of other classic computing and gaming programmes. Good stuff.
  12. In C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\Configs there's a file named ServiceConfig.xml and that controls all sorts of aspects of the Adobe Desktop App. Open it up and look for BrowserBasedAuthenticationtrue and change true to false.
  13. "Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?"
  14. I'd also like to recommend "Half Life Alyx - The Final Hours" which basically recaps everything that Valve has been doing for the last 20 years or so, including information about abandoned projects (including Half-Life 3). It's an interactive ebook. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1361700/HalfLife_Alyx__Final_Hours/ - currently £1.07
  15. We didn't miss it on Discord #games_chat It was 100% free from 17th-20th November, saving yourself 71p!
  16. Still 2021 imagery for my area. Bing Maps has the newest imagery for me.
  17. Currently reading Douglas Adams's Starship Titanic, a novel written by Terry Jones.

    Thanks. Setting it as everybody's homepage now.
  19. I'm not saying it never has or can't happen, but in my 20+ years of working in IT, I've never killed anything with static.
  20. https://www.justwatch.com/uk and https://reelgood.com/ are the two that I use.
  21. I was just able to log into my AliExpress account no problems.
