Thread 107114435

i swear to god microsoft
why can't you just fucking release an update without breaking fucking everything for once?

It's a sysadmin's wet dream to have 800 corporate laptops all bitlocker up the same day.

Not true according to Steam survey or statcounter.
Linux is so bad, and always will be, that people would still rather put up with Microsoft's antics.

>he paid for ransomware
LMAO

Linux it is.

So how do you access your files if you switch out the board?

>However, the BitLocker key is always synced to the MSA
False, it's optional even for retards that use MSA system account on corporate hardware.
Key is however always synced to the NSA, but they won't give it back.

>>107114551
With your bitlocker recovery key. That's the whole use case. Someone can't just take the drive out of your laptop and connect it to an USB to pull all the files off.

>>107114582
yeah I just googled it
you need to write down your 48 character password

Active Directory and Intune automatically keep the keys in their database so it's not a big issue for the legitimate use case in a corpo environment

But when microsoft jeets do funny stuff like this >>107114435 (OP)

>>107114551
You don't.

can't wait to be forced onto this OS when every new software release refuses to run on windows 10
sort of like how i was forced onto 7, then 10, and the experience got worse each time

>>107114670
keep taking nutella's dick up your ass then, anon.

>>107114750
This time I can legitimately see developers going "Do we really want to force people onto 11?"

So where is the god's chosen autist with his OS that saves desktop computing?

I'm a retard, how the fuck do I force my W10 to stop trying to autoupdate to W11? I can only delay it by a month and it gave me a warning about having a limit on pauses.

>>107114839
You have several options.
1. Disable the TPM and Secure Boot in BIOS.
2. Set the Group Policy to stick to your current version of Windows.
3. Reformat and install Windows 10 LTSC 2021 which doesn't get any kind of version updates and is supported until 2032.

>>107114839
Buy an win 10 iot ltsc license

Normies that are using W11 home are eating well while /g/tards on their 'based' custom enterprise setups are in shambles.

>>107114869
What's the most retard friendly method? I'm guessing it's 2. Is it possible to just install LTSC on top of my current Pro installation?

>>107114435 (OP)
feels like shit like this is happening pretty much every week

>>107114904
Yeah, No. 2 would be the quickest, but also the least effective. MS could just ignore it at push the update anyway.
The first options would be most sure-fire way to avoid the notification. Just do a restart and go into your BIOS and turn off the TPM and Secure Boot. You can look for instructions with a youtube video for your motherboard model.
Installing LTSC would require a full clean installation of the OS, meaning you would need to make a backup of your files, documents and install all your apps again afterwards. This method would require the most work but also would be the best since Windows 10 Pro doesn't have support anymore while LTSC gets support until 2032. It would take you an hour at most. If you're curious you can chekc the Friendly Windows Thread /fwt/ here on /g/.

>>107114912
That's because it is.
They broke recovery and their own usb imager and bitlocker (in a different way) over the last few weeks

>>107114912
more like evey three days now.

Because they unironically killed their QA department when Safelight Nutella took over from Cocaine DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS! Ballmer.

>Bitlocker
This shit literally does nothing. It pops up every time my work laptop battery dies and I boot after charging it. But just rebooting the laptop again completely bypasses the screen and I never have to enter my password.

>>107114793
you're just asking for a linux desktop environment that rips everything off 10 1 to 1

>>107115308
It's true. There are only so many.

I accidentally the sentence

>>107115120
Why would you recommend Linux to someone who is self professed tech illiterate?

>>107115977
Why would anyone just endure being tech illiterate in 2025? It's nearly identical to being unable to read in 1925.
I recommend anyone who's tech illiterate use Gentoo or FreeBSD on a second machine for a while, it would genuinely teach them a lot about navigating the modern world.

>>107114435 (OP)

I guarantee if you look at the name of who is responsible for this, it's all Indian Hindu invaders. If Microsoft was full of people named Abdullah, Chang, and Timmy, instead of Ranjeet and Krishna, this would never happen.

>>107116022
Nobody reads anymore because books suck ass.

The kikes did it, this is intended. They want to wipe a bunch of data and this is one way to do it partially en-masse.

>>107116022
>Why would anyone just endure being tech illiterate in 2025?
Newer generations are, on average, less tech literate than older generations. There are zoomers who don't even know what a directory is.

>>107114435 (OP)
>computer works fine
>I know, lets updoot
Updooters are mentally ill. STOP FIXING WHAT ISN'T BROKEN. If shit just works for you, there's no need to update anything.

>>107116068
I've witnessed it first hand, I'm a zoomer and seeing some of my peers use computers is not much less painful than watching a boomer.

>>107116068
I've been using PCs for over 30 years and I have no clue what a directory is. Is it just a folder?

hey, if my boss's boss's boss's boss is willing to pay me to stick my thumb up my ass and do nothing while on the phone with IT, then I'll be more than happy to take him up on that offer

>>107116093
>Is it just a folder
Same thing, different name

>>107116093
Yes, a folder is just another name for a directory.

>>107114435 (OP)
I triggered the bitlocker recovery recently when I wanted to demo a linux live usb to my dad on his win11 laptop cause he kept complaining about the AI garbage being shoved down his throat. I was unaware bitlocker was enabled by default nowadays and that booting a live usb would trigger it. Of course he didn't know the key and he didn't know what account he used to sign in.
Was a tense 30 minutes until I managed to deduce he used his gmail and then jump through the hoops of gaining access to the MS account on his phone, setting up the authenticator, etc.
>sure dad let me show you this alternative to windows on this usb stick, it doesn't change anything on your computer and you can just reboot right back into windows, nothing can go wrong

What do you think happened when crowdstrike fucked up? Reverting the crowdstrike failure was the easy part, getting all those end users to type in the bitlocker key over phone support was the hard part

>>107122046
bitlocker has always been security theatre. much like apple's icloud nonsense. they too do the same thing as microsoft. obviously to comply with glownigger orders and to scan files for anything they can steal or use to incriminate you.

>>107122890
Grouped together with Arch, probably.
When only considering Linux, they're separate.
Though Arch is still the most widely-used distro people can get their hands on

I'm sick and tired of tech illiteracy. I'm sick and tired of non-declarative OSes. Being able to build out my whole distro on subtly different machines in one shot is a godly power of Nix based distros like NixOS and GuixSD. Playing this, "just mutably reconfigure your system bro." Is retarded and doesn't work. Even the normie cuck Linux distros use similar techniques of content addressing to give you seamless rollbacks, even if everything in-between is still manually tweaked.

Desktop linux is still a joke of cosmic proportion. The fact that you have >2% market share does not mean that people want to use your tranny cesspool with no working software and lobotomized UI.

Name the pkg that hurt you so badly. Choose a non retarded distro (Mint) and it works great except well known kernel botnet anticheat games which you should you reject even on windows.
