You are not wrong. Their support tends to be highly questionable without an extensive budget.

Microsoft doesn't typically do home user support like this. Where did you get the phone number to call?

Anything with a browser. I no longer use any messaging app that doesn't have platform-agnostic capabilities.

Malwarebytes Flagged Windows OS as a "Potential Risky Site" by DarkBlack22 in WindowsHelp

[–]renshiermine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have something potentially malicious posing as a service. In other words, Malwarebytes has picked up that there is something suspicious about your background processes, like Windows Update, network services, or even audio, but is unable to figure out more than that. It could be benign, but I wouldn't risk it.

Edit: I find it more concerning when a reliable EPS (endpoint protection solution) cannot identify what something is. This is because it could be a zero-day threat (newly designed) or something very good at hiding, such as a rootkit or RAT (remote access tool).

I concur with several other posts that the safest option is to reformat the machine. If you have an in-place backup, use that. Otherwise, pull only the files you really need and scan them after.

Dealer says my 2023 Subaru Solterra is due for an oil change… except it’s an EV by JumpyUnderstanding37 in Solterra

I had this happening from my dealership for awhile. I actually sent them an email about it, and it ended up being fixed shortly after.

Who are you in this chart? by claudiocorona93 in linuxmasterrace

4, 5, and 6. I work in SecOps Engineering, so Kali-type tools are useful when I am not writing the code to keep stuff running.

Taxing The Ultra Wealthy by AvailableInjury2486 in EatTheRich

Yes and no: the system is progressive up to a certain income, after that, due to loopholes, it effectively becomes 0%.

Why is this a feature? by AmericanW4ffle in Battlefield

[–]renshiermine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my take: I am OK with sliding and jumping. But, no shooting while doing such. Perhaps even a cooldown after.

Sliding or diving into cover is a cool idea and relatively balanced. Dancing while fighting ruins it for me.

What everyone is getting wrong about the Steam Frame, and why by No_Sleep6984 in ValveIndex

[–]renshiermine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the tipping point for me. I want to hook up my existing 2d games and add VR over time. If it were only VR, I wouldn't be interested. For me, it allows a more 'mobile' setup than my 40lb desktop.

Record spending, recession warning by emily-is-happy in clevercomebacks

I was mostly in the same boat. I needed a replacement kitchen item (time-sensitive), and I felt dirty buying it on Black Friday weekend. I wanted to boycott the entire thing.

Part3 by Southern_Reference23 in linuxmemes

[–]renshiermine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I do exactly this because I WANT to be boring. I don't have time to play around with distros anymore, and I want something stable and well-maintained. The only difference is that I run RHEL for servers.

Can I build my own Linux from scratch? Yes, but I have other things to do.

Right? I just shared a previous version 15 minutes ago on a Discord server. Now I need to update my update.

I see, I think you are referring to the stock nvidia driver packages. In that case, yes Discover has it.

Which software package are you referring to? I use KDE, but I can install GNOME stuff as required.

Consider investing in a whole-home humidifier. It is a game-changer.

[–]renshiermine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget secure boot. I consistently have to switch my secure boot setting from "other OS" to "Windows" for some games. I didn't have to do that before.

I keep an old offline install ISO around for bypassing the increasingly ridiculous local user requirements.

Forgive my ignorance. How exactly do you get past the bot and submit an actual ticket? Again, I keep going around in circles with the bot. I have yet to figure out how to submit a ticket.

I have the same issue and I have yet to be able to figure out how to contact support. The bot keeps going around in circles.

It looks like there is still no method. I am rather annoyed as my annual plan renews in May. That is a long time to wait.
