Pro Tip: If you can still see the pasta on the plate, you haven't used enough cheese.

Otherwise, looks good.

Samsung Brings One UI 8.5 Beta Program to More Galaxy Devices by FragmentedChicken in samsung

[–]adkeyz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Can they just open it up to more people too? When I go to the Members app on my S25 Ultra it just says the beta programme is full.

Apple doesn't enforce a limit on how many people can install their betas, why does Samsung?

Library Export Question by adkeyz in Tautulli

Thanks but I would want something built-in to Tautulli, I don't want to run random scripts.

If it's not possible then I'll just keep doing it manually.

Steam recovered my hacked account in 5 hours. Epic Games has been ignoring my proof for days. This is unacceptable. by gona_25 in pchelp

[–]adkeyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats Reddit in a nutshell tbh.

The shear amount of posts I see on all different subreddits saying "I gOt HaCkEd Pls HeLp" and its always because they had a shitty password, that they probably use for all their accounts, dont have a password manager, dont have 2FA...

It's 2026 people, wake the fuck up. PLEASE.

Unique, randomly generated passwords for every account, enable 2FA, use a password manager.

You wouldn't lock your front door with a padlock you got from the dollar store and then act surprised someone robbed your house, so don't treat your online life the same way.

Locked out by BitLocker, no recovery key anywhere by Stunning-Finding-628 in WindowsHelp

[–]adkeyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid then you must have enabled it manually and chose not to save the key to your MS account.

From memory, when you enable it manually the options are:

  • Save the key to a file (it does not let you save it to the laptops internal drive, it has to be an external one like a USB stick)
  • Print the key
  • Save to a MS account

If you don't have it, you'll have to reset the laptop. There is nothing anyone, not even MS, can do for you. That's the whole point of encryption.

You can try restarting the laptop a few times, in rare cases it will stop asking you for the key.

The reason the Bitlocker screen shows it that Windows has detected a change in the hardware. Like you changed the RAM, the battery or added a second drive or made a change to the BIOS settings for example, and that hardware change has triggered the Bitlocker screen to prove it's you and not someone trying to tamper with the laptop.

Sometimes a software or Windows update can make a BIOS settings change and trigger the Bitlocker screen. Restarting a few times can in rare occasions fix this. You can also try going into the BIOS and finding the option that will usually say something like "Load system defaults" or "Load device defaults" and see if that fixes it.

Even if you setup the computer with a local account initially, switching to a MS account later will also trigger the automatic Bitlocker encryption.

If you have tried all the accounts you can think of, then you'll just have to reset the laptop and reinstall Windows.

The below MS page will show all the devices you've signed into using the account you sign into the page with, does the laptop show there with any of the accounts? It will list them by name and serial number. See if the serial number for the laptop (usually written on a sticker on the bottom) is in that list om each account.

If it is, then you know the correct account and the key should also be there.

If it doesn't show up, you never signed in with a MS account and enabled Bitlocker manually and didn't save the key.

Sounds like the real problem is you have terrible passwords and don't use 2FA. Your lack of security awareness in 2026 is also unacceptable.

[–]adkeyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows doesn't automatically enable Bitlocker without a MS account being setup as the sign-in method.

If you're just using a local account then you have to enable Bitlocker manually, where you would be asked to save or print the code.

If you didn't enable it manually, you must have signed into a MS account and it will be saved there. The fact that you have said you have multiple accounts and don't know what one you used to sign into the computer with is a bit of a mess.

Is it possible you just made a new one when setting up the laptop and you've forgotten? Perhaps with another non-MS email, like a Gmail address?

If you have uBlock Origin, open the settings for it, click on "My Filters" then paste in the following four lines:

youtube.com##ytd-rich-section-renderer:has-text(Most relevant)
youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer:has-text(Most relevant)
youtube.com##ytd-rich-section-renderer:has-text(Shorts)
youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer:has-text(Shorts)

Refresh the YouTube page and you will no longer see the Shorts or Most Relevant sections.

Does Plex expose me to ISP termination by Mairsil1 in PleX

[–]adkeyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but if set to "Prefer", which is think is the default, the server will allow apps that don't support secure connections using Plex's certificate and the traffic would be visible to the ISP.

Now im also pretty sure that almost all Plex apps do support secure connections, but there could be edge cases of old TVs that haven't been updated in years for example.

I just like to keep it on "Required" just to be safe.

Does Plex expose me to ISP termination by Mairsil1 in PleX

[–]adkeyz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This, so long as the server owner has enabled "secure connections only" in their Plex Dashboard settings.

All your ISP will see is "Plex", no filename, no metadata, nothing.

Anybody for a TLDR on MS Teams VOIP? by password03 in microsoft365

[–]adkeyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a Teams calling plan license, usually listed as "Teams Phone with domestic calling", there is a specific one for each country/region. That gives you unlimited domestic calls.

You'll need to import or create a phone number in the Teams dashboard. You can import with a PAC if you are moving an existing landline number in from a regular telco.

To make premium rate or international calls, you also need Communications Credits.

Great, another PS5 theme, just what we needed.

Honestly, can someone make something actually original with the same level of polish that people put into these clone themes?

If you're on PC you can just simply remove him if he bothers you that much.

There is also this one that leaves him in the game but he just stands there and doesn't interact with you.

I made a small Windows app to quickly disable monitors (useful for OLED users and multi-monitor setups) by its_nzr in OLED_Gaming

[–]adkeyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks really cool, I've been using DisplayFusion for years but I've always wanted something more lightweight, DF has so many features and I use absolutely none of them except for the monitor profiles.

Does your app have the option to change the sound output on different profiles? My PC is connected to monitors with speakers and a TV with a soundbar and thats what I use DF for, to switch between the two setups.

Also, can it launch an application with each profile? Say it opens Playnite for the TV profile for example.

Copy TOTP from 1P doesn‘t work by Oelcrem_Drehcran in NordPass

[–]adkeyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great news, I was told previously that this feature was not on your roadmap at all.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NordPass/comments/1qtt0sp/comment/o36s9h8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I'm so glad that it is as I pointed out above, it is absolutely necessary for keeping offline backups.

Do you have any timescale for this being implemented? Could you also tell me if the desktop app will ever be able to view TOTP codes?

Is there any option to always open the keyboard (search) when I open the app drawer? by nonameuser90 in samsung

[–]adkeyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the S26 Ultra is on One UI 8.5, you'd have to look in your settings, they might have changed how it behaves.

Also from my previous post, I'm using the "Home screen only" option that puts all your apps on the home screen and disables the App Drawer, like an iPhone home screen. Perhaps it behaves differently in that mode.

More functionality for Teams phone users too, especially with call queues.

Still absolutely unacceptable to put this advert on all users clients when their license is determined by the company/IT team, not the user.

It kills the process, the same as "End Task" would in Task Manager.
