Shitpost today, reality once the stock price dips.
BitLocker sometimes turns on automatically, even on personal devices, without the user manually enabling it. This happens especially on systems connected with a Microsoft account, Windows Hello, or devices that meet Modern Standby requirements.

This happened to my new laptop. It’s a fucking brick.
We in the tech community like to call that a perfect Linux receptacle
I’m definitely on team linux now
Every new machine in the last two years has come with bitlocker on. I’ve started reloading them all.
What an actual nightmare!

The amount of service calls I get from people locked out of their own windows computers…
Mint sucks. Zorin or Bazzite, cachyOS
Blasphemy, Mint is amazing.
You can have your personal preference, but Mint is fantastic. Especially for switching from windows, but not only.
Fair enough
Zorin user here. As far as Linux goes, Zorin is good. Mint is also good.
Mint is lovely. You’re a tool.
That’s what you spent your energy on, and is the best you could come up with? Your mother is ashamed of you. I’d argue you’re the tool for now knowing how to use anything else but mint, fucking waste of oxygen you are.
I’m allowed to have a different opinion, I’m not your mother and don’t have to love you.
It sounds like you spent more energy on this than they did on calling you a tool. And you’re the one getting upset about someone having a different opinion. Your whole comment is projection.

Do people get Arch as their first distro and succeed in using it?
Depends alot on the person
I went straight to arch but i also program and system admin so… I dont feel hurt having to read
I don’t know. I did.
Unless we’re talking SteamOS or similar, then it just sounds like disaster waiting to happen.
So far arch is my first and only distro. I moved to linux a year ago and decided to just jump in with Arch. I havent had any major issues.
Some do. Not many.
EndeavourOS was my first, but not the same as naked Arch I guess
Pfft, amateur. My first was some version of red hat (2? 2.1?) that took me almost a week to download, then I had to compile it, and then load onto, like, eight floppies.
I can’t even tell you how many attempts I made before I actually succeeded in getting it to install, but it was one of the more traumatic experiences of my teenage years.
Slack 2 or 3 here I couldn’t get it to install because it didn’t have CD ROM drivers that worked with mine. Little did teenage me know I could have just copied the disk images to floppies but neither the sound or CD would have worked. I actually just installed it on a VM in Proxmox a couple weeks ago though. Now my windows 3.11 can telnet into my slack 2.3 box because why not.
This guy is kidding, do not listen to this guy. If you are a beginner and want arch use cachyOS
And if you are a beginner and don’t want arch , use nobara.
FOR THE GRACE, FOR THE MIGHT OF THE LORD!
This seems like something they would try
Remember those viruses that were around a few years back. They would lock your computer unless you paid like $100. I believe most said something like . This isn’t a legit copy of windows. Pay now or you can’t login.
And if you paid. It was of course just stealing your credit card. But a lot of stupid people did it.
I remember I got the virus once and I had to use another computer to get rid of it by making a boot flash stick. … I can’t recall the details but there wasn’t any way to fix it on the computer because it locked you out of everything.
Maybe around during windows 7 of 8?
Anyway. I bet that’s where they got the idea.
I don’t remember the viruses, I’ve never been a windows user.
Thanks for the background on the meme, I would never have figured that out.
If you’re talking about ransomware (?), they are actually famous for great customer service and not stealing your credit card details. If people don’t trust them, noone will pay. So they offer live chats with real humans to help you set up a bitcoin wallet etc., to ensure smooth processing.
The business has developed further though, not if you don’t pay they often threaten to release the data on the web.
Yep. That’s what I was referring to. I also didn’t know they were semi legit. Lol. That’s kinda ridiculous.
No I never paid or even considered paying. I just got some fix from somewhere to get rid of it.
Yeah, I wouldn’t say “semi legit”, but they know how to run a business 😅
Ubik ahh fucking society
Yeah, we’re headed toward Ubik rules alright.
