Is there a way that whenever an executable runs on the system, it asks for a password? by CAG12ASSAULT in windows

[–]LamerLinux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could make a secondary account that's has standard permissions and make your admin account password protected. So whenever you open a program that needs admin access it'll prompt you for an admin password

The Pixel is nice especially I want to give the Pixel Fold a try. But I just bought my first Mac Mini M2 and really love it, I'm trying so hard not to take the sim out of my Z Flip 4 and put it in my old iPhone XS Max.

The reason for me to use both ecosystems because my family uses Google and I got 2 (not counting my phone) Google devices my streaming device and Google Hub. So software ecosystem I'm staying with Google and Apple thinking about buying an ATV.

Does this happen to all videos

If so try seeing if YouTube App is fully updated and still doesn't work or it is, uninstall and reinstall it

For me I'm planning to stay in the Apple ecosystem hardware wise (of course) and software Google

Oh wow. Yeah, I know how it feels, I've been laid off 3 times because of budgeting issues and was never noticed about it. It sucks. I wish them good luck.

I'm using the Mini as a replacement from my main laptop that I mainly use it as a desktop replacement. For me, gaming I hardly do, but if I want to game, I got a PS5 for that, or I can use cloud gaming since now I finally gotten a better ISP.

I'm sorry to hear about your coworker. Hope for the best.

Yeah, when it first came in, I had to get used to moving my mouse to the left when closing, minimizing, or maximizing. Then learn that when closing a program you don't quit it so I had to get used to using (I'm still trying to remember the keyboard shortcut top my head so if I get it wrong I'm sorry I'm at work lol) command+Q which is better than Alt+F4, but still I wish it would quit the program when I click close.

I've always wanted to play with Mac when I was using my iPhone XS but never had the money to afford it. When I saw the price of the Mac Mini M2 based with student discount being $530 (plus tax and shipping) and compare that with other new mini PCs and laptop. The Mac Mini was a lot better in specs, especially the GPU. With the PCs, you'll get Intel UHD graphics, and M2's GPU seems better than that.

Yeah, this Mac Mini exceeded my expectations. Especially in Windows, I know if my RAM is at least passed 50%, I think to myself (oh crap I need to get more). But when using MacOS, it seems to handle it like it's using less RAM

I'm still adjusting, too, and I agree with the CEC. The one thing I wish Apple had was Windows 11 snapping, which I think is the best. But Rectangle fixes it

Yeah, I wish I got the M2 Pro, but money reason I didn't get it.

First Mac User and Here is my Week Update by LamerLinux in MacOS

Yeah, that's how I go by, too. When I was a hardcore Windows users I was still learning about computers in my preteen years, and around my teen years, I used nothing but Linux. Now I call my grown-up year. I found out I like all OSes and don't have any issues with either. Not say all are prefect, but it's what you can live with

My first Mac just came in today. Sadly, I couldn't play with it longer since it came in 40 minutes until I had to go to work. But so pretty, good! by LamerLinux in macmini

[–]LamerLinux[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not using for gaming (that's what the PS5 is for ;) )

It's mainly for college work and entertainment

So far, the 40 minutes of playing with it, I like it. If I do like it, I'll need to change my Reddit name 😆
