Part of the point behind Ventoy is that you don't need to prepare the USB to be bootable. You can just copy/paste the whole iso into Ventoy and it will be bootable. New release comes out? Just copy it onto your USB drive. Don't even need to remove the old version of you don't want to.

Makes things much easier in the tech world for having a single USB with 50+ bootable tools and installers on there like with MediCat (which uses Ventoy as a base).

Only thing I've had issues with booting from Ventoy is the ProxMox install iso. Everything else has worked first try.

Odd that you can see exactly in that tweet where his staffer stopped writing and handed the phone over to Donnie.

Open PowerShell and run:

winget install 7zip.7zip

Winget is built into windows after around Win10 1903, so you don't even have to launch a browser to download most apps anymore.

Locking a company out of their systems isn't the most lucrative part of ransomware anymore. Data exfiltration and threatening to release the data to the highest bidder is now the norm.

Ransomware also typically sits on a system doing nothing for ~6 weeks before ever starting to encrypt and upload data. Even if companies have backups to restore from, they need to choose whether they're going to restore entire machines quickly and risk still having the ransomware on the restored machine. Or they can take the long a painful route of spinning up new machines, then restoring just the data itself to individual apps/services to ensure you don't still have ransomware after the restore.

This is actually the worst type of end-user.

Doesn't make a ticket or notify anyone that there is a problem and then proceeds to try and fix it themselves incorrectly. When it does become a ticket, they won't remember exactly what steps they took to troubleshoot and will waste 5x as much time from support staff trying to fix it than if they just didn't touch it in the first place.

Guaranteed didn't wipe the machine from the built in reset/recovery screen and instead used a windows installer that was created on a different computer and doesn't have the correct network drivers in the image.

GrayJay doesn't cast to Chromecast, it uses F-Cast instead which isn't on every platform.

+1 for Mikrotik.

Get one of their routers that have an Arm or x86 processor and you can run PiHole and a DDNS updater on there as containers. Wireguard support (client and server) is built in.

Even their cheapest hardware that runs routerOS has access to all the same features as their enterprise level gear.

The directed scope of the bill is going to do the same thing to TikTok that legislation did to Juul.

If you target Juul with legal repercussions for all their flavored vapes, then only Juul stops selling flavored pods. Now a million other disposable vape companies fill the void with flavored vapes that are worse for the ecosystem.

Targeting TikTok will just lead to another foreign data-harvesting social media app popping up to fill its place.

I don't think these two are related.

Change Healthcare (company who handles most electronic prescription platforms) had a ransomware attack a couple weeks ago that took down their entire infrastructure for multiple days.

Doctors and pharmacies were likely using paper scripts because the entire electronic prescription platform was shutdown.

State vehicle registration where I'm at is based on vehicle weight. Costs about $400 to renew the registration on my daily driver and $600 to renew for a larger truck. Motorcycles are only like $80 to renew.

Consumers are being taxed more for larger vehicles, it's the manufacturers trying to avoid safety regulations that are seeing the cost benefits.

Could be a student or military or live in an apartment.

Not sure any of those establishments are going to be thrilled with you running an extension cable across the parking lot or sidewalk to charge your car.

Also pretty sure they meant their family lives outside of the range of a single EV charge and there's no charging infrastructure on the way. What would be an 8 hour drive to visit family for the holidays turns into a multi-day trip with a stay at a motel/hotel to wait for your car to charge.

Every time I see a Kia Soul in my rearview I know they're going to be tailgating like an asshole and using turn lanes to pass traffic.

Spent a full day setting up Nextcloud so I could file sync my machines and share files externally. It was slow as hell and didn't work half the time.

Spent 10 minutes spinning up Syncthing and FileBrowser containers and have had zero issues with them since.

Yup. Our RMM tools work best on Windows machines. Honestly, Linux is fine too, but MacOS is the worst to manage.

If anything needs to be modified/deployed on MacOS, I have to create a new PPPC and deploy it through Intune/Jamf/Addigy, otherwise you can guarantee the end user won't accept the correct security prompts and things won't work.

Come on down to catwarehouse.com

Damn, just reminded me how much I used to type while trying to buy/sell stuff in RuneScape.

Banks were just covered in walls of text before the GE existed.

Just checked and you're right. Looks like it was always owned by Roblox.

I must be getting it mixed up with the Teams features they added to the Xbox game bar on windows.

Microsoft Roblox ripped off Discord and branded it as Guilded GG. Features-wise for audio and game streaming, they offer higher quality than Discord for free.

Is there any chance you'll get your group of friends to move to "MS Teams for gamers"? anything other than Discord? No chance.

Edited: Correction that Guilded is owned by Roblox, not MS.

This is specifically an issue with corporate M365 accounts when a user tries to migrate to a new phone without access to the old phone where the authenticator was setup.

Personal MS accounts can backup their auth secret keys to cloud storage, and when signing in on a new device, it authenticates you with your cloud storage (Google/Apple) and properly restores your MS Authenticator app.

The issue is that while MS says you can backup your corporate M365 accounts in MS Authenticator, it doesnt actually store the secret key, so it's useless.

Have your administrator enable TAP (Temporary Access Passwords) on the tenant. Then an M365 admin can create a TAP for your account that lets you login without a password/2FA. You can use the TAP to login and rejoin MS Authenticator app. The TAP expires in 1 hour by default.

^ Your M365 admin needs to know where to manage the specific authentication methods and be sure to disable MS auth rollouts. By default right now, authentication rollouts are enabled on all tenants with P1 licensing or above, and it only supports the MS Authenticator app.

Once that rollout is disabled, the authentication methods your admin has made available to you will actually work properly.
