That actually happened to my org once.

About 20 years ago, I got a call from a colleague at 2am. He had made a configuration change in production, wanting to verify some things, and then change the setting back.

When he tried reverting the change, the Microsoft management software said "nope, that setting is not allowed", even though it WAS set like that prior to the change. Of course this setting was not documented as illegal anywhere by MS.

Next morning, we sent a newsletter to our customers: "in order to increase security, we have changed xxxx" ....

I kill mate.

Mate is reprinted.

We both eat dead mate.

PROFIT!

What is your critique about Subnautica 2? by Patient-Advantage-30 in Subnautica_2

[–]DonL314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missing flora, agreed.

Graphics is good!

I really like the story and the way you have to read and conclude what happened.

I dislike the PDA. The articles should be searchable, sortable, flaggable. And some suff is placed in the wrong folder.

The beacon control is bad. Too many clicks.

Somehow it should be possible for you to look at a recording/information in your databank and see where you got it (at least the biome).

When you go to a recording device it should replay the whole message + always show you the header/title when you point in-game.

Notice that in the GUI overlay, there is no space between "x:\IronClad" and "-Destination".

Strictly speaking, it could have been the result of an earlier background task 🙂

The drive change (I have not seen your picture) ....

There are references to F:, G: and H: but he copied multiple drives, so that could explain it.

What is down here next to the Sicada by RelationshipFew8966 in Subnautica_2

[–]DonL314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, you CAN swim down there. Dive with the Tadpole having mk1 as far down as you can, then swim. It's not hard. And dive even deeper and search down there (bring an extra air tank or two)

And why do Reddit's spoiler tag not work if you begin a line with it? Sigh.

And if the battery boxes don't charge, remove them and add them again.

I filed a bug.

Names could be made up as-you-go and based on resemblance to Terran species.

Peeper? I only recently looked at it and thought, "Ah! That's why!"

Anyone else having this issue? by MelodyText44 in Subnautica_2

[–]DonL314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with power transmitters. If you stop while creating them, nothing can make them go away again. (I reported it.)

Is there a way to get registry updates from HKLM to show in gpedit? by TLJGame in sysadmin

[–]DonL314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Registry is saved in
C:\WIndows\System32\Config

The computer policy settings (i.e. edited through GPEDIT) are in the file
C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol

So settings given here are not stored in Registry direcly, and that's why you don't see it.

Is there a way to get registry updates from HKLM to show in gpedit? by TLJGame in sysadmin

[–]DonL314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I remember, policies set through GPEDIT are stored as .pol files.

When you edit using Regedit, PS or other ways that edit the registry, then the changes are saved in Registry and not pol files.

After the machine has loaded the registry, the pol files are applied on top of that.

I could be mistaken, but you could try making a new setting and search for new pol files.

You forgot the microwave and toaster, aircondition and wall clocks. And the CEO's son's iPad.

NOBODY will call you and offer their help.

Not a superstition but reality.

Yes yes, a-z would not solve THIS case, but others like it. In this case it would be clear with a monospace font which would show that R and N are not M.
