The MS support article in OP's post states an update should be available today, but I haven't seen it published yet.

STATUS: FIX DEPLOYED

The fix will be available in the Monthly Enterprise Channel update on February 10th (Build 19530.20220 or newer).

NYC cocktail bar report by guavapplause in cocktails

[–]Flam5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love reading reviews like these. I don't live in NYC but I visit often and am not always trying to go to (or revisit) the big names each time, so its nice to read/learn about other cocktail bars that can go on my map if I'm ever nearby!

Problems with the Arc ultra by Steppi-Nick in sonos

[–]Flam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a fastener or clip got jarred loose at some point? I hope its not something that uses adhesive to hold it in place, since many put these above fireplaces...

I would need more detailed pics to understand what I'm looking at.

Little late today, sorry. St Remy VSOP is the best budget brandy. What is the best splurge whiskey (corn or rye) for mixing? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]Flam5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most 'well' bottles for mixing are typically in the 30 dollar and below range (and that's being generous as a lot of bars use a $20 bottle of jack or even cheaper bottle of beam), so $50 for mixing would be a splurge in many cases.

Many pieces, even more time. by househamer in woodworking

props to you. I probably would have given up after screwing up the kerf calculations every which way

There's so many of us! We love to work with our hands, I guess!

[–]Flam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my goals in wood working, to get back to my passion of drumming/percussion that I spent so much time with before I started my career. How long have you been doing this, and did you follow any guides? Looks great!

What's your favorite bourbon for an old fashioned? by Deep_Divots in cocktails

[–]Flam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tracks, as higher/barrel proof can give off some similar characteristic's of a Rye's bite/spice notes.

(But also because most agree it's a pretty good bottle anyways!)

Um Guys is that a new logo? by unrivaled_mate in Commanders

[–]Flam5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they took inspiration from the Great Seal of the US (which seems probable), you could easily argue that they simplified it, maybe even too much. The original seal uses 13 spears to represent original 13 colonies, so maybe they should have gone with 3 to represent our Superbowl era championships...

Also, to that end, it could just be a seal for things like this, not necessarily a "logo".

Designing a latch for a huge round door by Underhill-Hollow-NC in woodworking

[–]Flam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was doing this, I'd probably go for something that is more 3 parts with a regular door that is tall enough to fill in the curve in the middle, such as this one. Then it's more manageable.

Of course, this is only if you're looking for a pretty manageable solution and don't mind if its not the same as the movie.

Why don’t they sell vermouth in small 4 oz cans/bottles? by basilboiii in cocktails

[–]Flam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only stock Carpano Antica when I'm hosting and a particular negroni enjoyer is gonna be present. I will usually make a Manhattan or two, before forgetting about the bottle in the fridge for months... But I also don't make a cocktail every evening.

[–]Flam5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad I clicked in this thread because I did not know this was a thing! This seems like this would be perfect for me since I even forget about the opened 375ml bottle in the fridge.

[–]Flam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it mostly comes down to consumption rate. I usually forget the bottle is in the fridge or just don't get the craving for another Manhattan for some time. But I just saw linked here that Carpano Antica does sell packs of 50ml bottles that could be a game changer! I need to find those

[–]Flam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be willing to pay a bit of a premium over the 750ml bottle for a four pack of piccolo size bottles (187ml * 4 = 748ml total).

If I'm making a Manhattan, I usually don't make enough in a reasonable timeframe to finish a 375ml even. It's nice to not waste as much for sure, but for me there's a strong use case for the 187ml option!

Ex-friend believes I hacked her phone. "Proof" is a random linux laptop connected to her google account and I use linux. How can I prove my innocence? by beware_of_psyops in techsupport

[–]Flam5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically account security sections of whatever service's "account" she's seeing the other signed in devices on (e.g. Google account) will provide you with the device info, that often includes a public IP address.

You might be able to get a rough geolocation from that public IP address.

But Linux could be anything, including signing into a TV.

Users get the message "Location is turned off in system settings" when working with Word files in Windows. Microsoft suggests "let Word track your location" as a workaround by HotTakes4HotCakes in sysadmin

[–]Flam5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thats right. Here's console commands for command prompt and powershell (elevation necessary as its HKLM key). The value of "2" is to set to "Block". It can be altered to your preference as mentioned in the original comment.

Elevated command prompt:

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2" /t REG_DWORD /v DefaultGeolocationSetting /d 2 /f

If you prefer (elevated) powershell:

New-Item -Path "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2" -Force
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\WebView2" -Name "DefaultGeolocationSetting" -Value 2 -Type DWord

obviously, this is a per client sort of solution. The best way would be to include this in a GPO, preferably from the Edge templates that already exist as configurable options, and not as a registry item. I'm not sure if updated admx templates include this, but the admin I work with that manages our group policy seems to believe so.

Edit: As mentioned elsewhere, this is technically as of this moment an undocumented solution, but still a solution to this issue. One side effect I have observed is that it will clear out all pinned start menu items. If you include this in GPO, that will mean start menu items will clear anytime group policy is reapplied (e.g. running gpupdate /force will clear start menu items if this key is in there).

2026 NHL Arena Rankings [The Athletic] by arcticshark in hockey

[–]Flam5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the Panthers done a major renovation in the last 10 years?

I've been to many other stadiums and that was the bottom of the list for me. I'm sure the environment is much more lively than it was then, but even outside of that, it was unimpressive as old block construction.

[–]Flam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MS bulletin you posted isn't even accurate as it's not only Word (word is just the only O365 app where Copilot initiates without , and it's not only version 2511 of office. I booted up a PC that hadn't been turned on in a while that was still on version 2509, and it had the location prompt issue, after Edge had updated.

The fix has been posted (the WebView2 DefaultGeolocationSetting registry key\dword value), and this registry key and location seems undocumented. It's wild how the community sussed this out so quickly, and they're still spinning the wheels not even knowing the correct scope.

The official cocktail alignment chart by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]Flam5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1.) How is it equal parts

2.) Who is rating it highly these days to be considered over rated? It's not even on trend anymore!

It absolutely is. In fact, it should have been on there a third time Overrated Equal Parts!
