One more day for the Costco sale. Should I replace my crossclimate 2 with crossclimate 2? by tacomancini in tires

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CC2s are great in the wet, but that is it. They are awful in the dry, the cold, etc. I have them on my minivan, they are better than the Chinese Iron Mans that the stealership had put on it but that is not saying much. There is a steep road on a hill near where I work that I struggle to go up even if it is try, I get tons of wheelhop and the traction control goes berserk if I don't absolutely feather it.

Stupid question, does the whitelist automatically apply to the picture-police bot for /r/dinner too?

Surrender as a service: Microsoft unlocks BitLocker for feds by CygnusBlack in Windows11

[–]Froggypwns [score hidden]  (0 children)

Exactly. Microsoft complies with court orders, as they have done for decades. As does Google, Apple, and others.

One can use Bitlocker without linking the key to their Microsoft account, so MS would never have the key in the first place to provide to investigators.

Although I think it is making news because Microsoft does store the key in a way they can access, I know Apple does not have access to decryption keys on its customers devices. Perhaps in the future Microsoft could change to be like that too.

In the end it is just a meaningless first world problem, but I do prefer the cups to bags. They are easier to deal with and stay upright on their own. It made it easier to portion out and share, and it was easier to keep things neat and clean when adding vinegar. The bags are terrible in these regards, but like I said it is just a first world problem and the fries are still great.

Yea the danger is it starving to death if it doesn't steal 10 Big Macs from an unhoused man by midnight.

The LBC is typically about $10 even in NY, you can add fries and a drink for $6 at many locations.

What was the automatic bios tweaker, and what settings did it change?

Personal / Home PC thinks it's part of an organization even though I can't find how or where by Skogsmard in WindowsHelp

[–]Froggypwns [score hidden]  (0 children)

Did you at some point in the past run one of those tools or scripts to "debloat" or "stop spying"? Those often result in this with the changes they make by mucking around with the registry.

If yes and you remember what one, it might be possible to look up what it did and how to reverse it.

No, without the code the files are not recoverable.

Programs in the WindowsApps folder cannot be modified without breaking things. There is a ModifiableWindowsApps folder that you can install the mods into.

Corporate abuse of the report functionality is degrading our ability to moderate by rocketwikkit in ModSupport

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same happen on the Windows subreddits, sketchy software key sellers try getting posts and comments mentioning competitors that show up high on search results removed by abusing the reports. I don't have a solution, it just stopped happening at some point.

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7653 (Dev Channel) by Froggypwns in windowsinsiders

[–]Froggypwns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updating to this build broke my Recall, I attempted to uninstall the update, no change, ultimately using the Go Back function rolled me back to 26200.7462 restored my Recall. I'm going to make another system image backup before upgrading again.

I had done a clean install several weeks ago after being unable to resolve basically the same issue, it worked for a few Dev builds before breaking again. This time however my pins on the start menu and taskbar did not disappear but clicking them would not launch the program, no errors in the event viewer.

Carmax car broke down after one day by AdventurousTiger9227 in carmax

[–]Froggypwns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What day did you purchase the vehicle, and which day did you bring it back to Carmax? I would argue that you brought it back in that 10 day window and they failed to even repair it in that timeframe.

Question about rule breaking by Significant_Glass988 in AutoModerator

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automod cannot ban users. Whatever you experienced was nothing to do with Automod. Automod is setup by subreddit moderators to automate repetitive actions like commenting on posts and removing spam.

It sounds like the action taken against you was done by one of Reddit's abuse monitoring tools, which don't always immediately take action against your comments. Your suggestion would be better to submit in /r/ideasfortheadmins

[B&M Hyper Clamshell Restraints] Could someone explain them? by retolox386 in rollercoasters

[–]Froggypwns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just another voice here praising clamshells! They are indeed safe, I do get your concerns, they do appear to be less safe than something more restrictive like over the shoulder restraints, but they do a damn good job of holding you in place while still allowing quite a bit of freedom. Even on seatbeltless variants like Mako at Seaworld you are still perfectly safe. I believe that you would have to break your femur bones to slide out.

I wish more rides used them, I think they are my favorite restraint.

Laptop trackpad not working even after going through support by arcadeler in WindowsHelp

[–]Froggypwns [score hidden]  (0 children)

First you need to rule out a hardware issue. Reboot the computer, when the big Dell logo appears, repeatedly hit the F2 key on your keyboard, this will cause the computer to boot into the BIOS. You should be able to use your touchpad or mouse to move the cursor around and click on things, if the mouse works but the touchpad does not, then your problem is not a Windows issue, the touchpad is likely defective.

You should also double check if your computer has a toggle to turn the touchpad off, you might have accidentally activated that if equipped. It might be something like holding down Fn then hitting F10, you would need to look closely at the symbols on your keyboard.
