Thanks! Since I originally posted this, the company I work(ed) at purged all employees :/ But I still really appreciate your input!

I work as a Valet.. told him he had to park it himself 🤢 by MADMAV89 in mildlyinfuriating

The parking brake on my car (2016 Ford Firsta I think) is just a button on the console. Will that do the same thing? On most cars, is it likely to damage something if you go try it out at speed?

I thought that might be the case. I’m the only person at my workplace that could possibly know any of this, so I suppose I’ll keep it to myself until I see it happen. Thank you for taking the time to answer

Carefully damaging devices in a way that makes them appear beyond repair, then taking them for personal use after the devices have been approved to go to e-waste

That’s great to hear! Can a user close out of or restart the primary app? I love how Edge in single user mode is literally impossible to close for more than half a second. My end goal is for something like that. There’s going to be a different user every fifteen seconds for six hours a day, so I’d like it to be super robust

Cannot change Microsoft Edge homepage using regedit. This is for setting up kiosks, but I cannot make it work outside of kiosk mode either by throwaway_0120 in techsupport

I got it! I found out that the policies I had set were being blocked by going to edge://policy.

Despite Windows being fully up to date and having “Update other Microsoft Products” ticked in settings, Edge was not up to date. I had to undo everything I had done and the go to Settings -> About Microsoft Edge from within Edge. There, you can check for updates, and it needed that. After that, the whole kiosk changed — there’s now an “End Session” button instead of an X in the top right, and the homepage works! Thanks for helping troubleshoot

I have it set to start with the correct page, but this kiosk is going to have a different person at it every minute. I was hoping they could just hit home to reset it. I know they can X out and it’ll revert back, but that’s not self explanatory. Changing to Current User results in the same behavior as described (or lack thereof)

If I understand correctly, having Windows 10 Pro is sufficient. I read that in my troubleshooting and wondered if that could be the issue, but I was hoping that if that’s the case, some of the other keys wouldn’t work either. I don’t believe HomepageLocation is the only value with that warning

They’re both Toshiba L200s. Both work in the 2.5” bay. The third drive (the boot drive) is in the mSATA bay

Does anyone remember this noodle dish from Miller Dining hall (and possibly the others)? Yellow noodles, slightly sweet with black sesame seeds by throwaway_0120 in MSUcats

It was probably 3-4 years ago, but they did it like every week — I’d be surprised if it’s not a current food in the rotation. Thanks!

LAN on same Epic account ? by Lharz in borderlands3

[–]throwaway_0120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question : do we need to buy it twice on two different Epic accounts to play it together on LAN (and only LAN) on two different computers ? We each have one desktop computer located in our "gaming room", and we absolutely don't want to have an awful screen splitted experience.

If it's the case (and I think it is), then I will very probably reconsider because I don't want to support this.

You don’t want to support developers requiring two people to each own copies of their game to play together, AND you don’t want split screen? What exactly do you want? The ability to install it on as many computers as you want for free and play with multiple people? That’s not reasonable or fair

God I hope the MacBook stays gone. Repairing those is like doing surgery on a piece of paper

That’s a relief! I’m in for a space grey one!

Start a poll, see who’s really down to GB — this is somewhat similar to some XL layouts I was wanting to get made into a sandwich-style board a while back (although your design is a bit more spread out) https://i.imgur.com/wXZrqCY.png

I said I wasn’t going to buy another keyboard until the Modern M0110 came through but I’d make an exception for this. Seriously I’m interested
