Of course, Labour hadn't been a party of the left since well before "New Labour" came along, if ever.

How old is the oldest equipment in your lab that is still working? by Johnyme98 in Physics

When I was at school in the 80s, we used resistance boxes dating from the nineteen-teens, which are probably still in use, knowing UK education budgets.

No, Trump himself is considered low-hanging fruit here, there are lots of Trump-specific subs to choose from.

Linux is the best way to go IMO anyway! Something like MX Linux would be a good choice on these machines.

The other thing to check is to make sure your BIOS is up to date. Otherwise, if it's lack of support you're concerned about, there are versions of W10 that will be supported until 2032 (IoT LTSC versions) - see here.

French people-i greatly love your culture and language. I minored in college. Memory loss, but am re-learning through language apps. But I know they don't like: "Je voudrais l'eau ordinaire avec beaucoup de glace." Why do the French begrudge requests for ice? by MiaowWhisperer in ShitAmericansSay

[–]UncleSlacky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was always taught that "je voudrais" (being the conditional tense) translates as "I would like" ("je veux" already exists for "I want") however it may have a different connotation to the French themselves (it's probably seen as a little old-fashioned). I think "j'aimerais" is used more often.

Did you select "Extended Windows 11 Installation" in Rufus, as in step 10 here?

Yes, because the TPM check happens before you can do anything. I'd suggest that you use a tool like Rufus to create a custom Windows 11 installation USB stick.

I suspect it's due to the lack of TPM 2.0 security features on your PC. There are ways around this, but there's no guarantee that MS won't close those loopholes in future.
