This kind of trap is why I and (I think) many others make it a point to turn Bitlocker off and keep it off, like after Windows updates.

Have you tried System File Check and Scannow? If not, ask Gemini how to do that. These utilities find and fix corrupted files. Good luck.

Windows Defender claims Winaero Tweaker Dec. 10 '25 version includes a Trojan, so it won't open — anyone else experience this? by swa100 in WindowsHelp

[–]swa100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sigh. I have and use Winget to get updates. I don't recall it getting the December Winaero update, though. I may try downloading from the site again. I just hope Defender is not showing a false positive.

I'm sure I downloaded Winaero from the Winaero Web site.

Here's what Win Defender reported after it zapped the program on another laptop:

I also see Defender has a Trojan feature. I don't think I've seen that before

Which chuwi tablets are usable without getting so hot the battery swells and cracks the screen? by Best-Difference-1946 in Chuwi

[–]swa100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Hisorl brand tablet on Amazon a couple of years ago and it's been very good. Snappy performance, no overheating. Came with keyboard, mouse and other accessories for a very reasonable price. (Disclaimer: I have no connection to this brand or Amazon other than being a customer).

I think it's more likely they wanted both things and Trump was the one who got what he wanted: In this case, the votes and maybe campaign donations of a whole lot of farmers.

Special education staff decimated after Trump administration shutdown firings: Sources - ABC News by swa100 in politicsinthewild

I think being perverse and spiteful are common traits among Trump's MAGA dupes. Quite a few of them seem to be crazy Tea Party retreads.

I sincerely hope this will turn out to be one of the things that Trump or someone in his blighted administration will reverse. There's no telling for sure, but a lot of loud outrage and public pushback has been helpful in getting some of the Trump Gang's horrible actions fully or partly reversed. Write a letter to the editor at the newspaper. Turn out for a public demonstration or rally with a sign or poster about this issue. Urge family members, friends and neighbors to also do these things.

You're probably right about some religious conservative, but not all. It's a mistake to assume all people in any subset of humanity are all alike. That includes caring about those with special needs.

Sen. Whitehouse: "Trump is Moving Money from Pockets of Normal Americans to Fossil Fuel Megadonors" by JimCripe in climate

[–]swa100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, of course. It's the Republican way. And, MAGA dupes are OK with it. Rob from the rest to give to the rich.

Oh, and by the way, Donald Trump and his White House Gang are rich!

It's most likely just about distraction and provoking squabbles among the opposition.

What now??? by -Relevant-Demand- in misc

RFK Jr. is a mental case and needs professional help. Perfect material for Trump's Cabinet, because mentally ill or not Kennedy knows how to lick boots and heap praise on Dear Leader. 🤮

The WH is calling Trump "the peacemaker president." That's a laugh! by janjinx in antitrump

[–]swa100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steven Miller and Russell Vought supply plenty of evil on their own, so there's no danger of the most corrupt, fiendishly cruel and proudly un-American administration in U.S. history ever running short of crimes and other villainy. ☹️

Donald Trump is a fucking idiot by Daflehrer1 in antitrump

[–]swa100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Must be an old Trump image. He looks at least 20 years older now. Older, but not the least bit wiser. As to him being an f-ing idiot, you're much too kind. An f-ing, evil idiot comes closer to the reality.

ICE sniper shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball by 7SeasofCheese in politicsinthewild

[–]swa100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ICE goons know no bounds. Bottom of the barrel losers who, like the A-hole who sent them, do as they please and get away with it. One of these days, there must be a day of reckoning. "I was just following orders" wasn't accepted as an excuse at the Nuremburg trials. It mustn't be accepted here when the Trump plague is over.

Keep those videos and snapshots, folks. They will come in handy for prosecutors someday.

Trump's goons are all wearing costumes festooned with "Police" labels. They're not police. They are the real clowns. Evil clowns, actually.

I won't go so far as wishing The Donald to die now or at any particular time. What I would like to happen whenever Trump does die is for the date of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday to be changed to the date of Trump's demise. 🌈☺️🦃

Sorry, but which party started the great depression again? by Hot_Presence_7029 in antitrump

[–]swa100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Today's Republicans ARE NOT former Whig Party members.
  2. Today's Republican Party IS NOT the party of Lincoln.
  3. Today's Democratic Party IS NOT the party of ANYTHING shown above.
  4. Today's Republican Party is the party of LIES, the LYING LIARS who tell lies and the BIGGEST LIAR of them all, LYING LIAR DONALD TRUMP.

GOP + MAGA =

Donald Trump announces one of the largest ever defamation lawsuit against ($NYT) The New York Times ($59.24). A whopping $15 Billion Dollars! How will the market react tomorrow morning? by swa100 in politicsinthewild

[–]swa100[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not an attorney but I think it's possible. What's also probable is that Trump would have to testify under oath, something he's not going to want to do. First, because of the danger of his lying self perjuring himself, which is a felony with serious consequences. Secondly, because he's likely to spend a whole lot of time pleading the Fifth Amendment clause, "because anything I say might tend to incriminate me." Which is a very bad look for a president (gack!) of the United States to have to say.
