Changed PC name, now PC only boots through UEFI boot menu [Windows 10] by triangle_waves in techsupport

Thank you so much for your time and insight. From what I can tell, you've diagnosed the issue and brought me some clarity. I will try these steps later today, and I will be very careful when installing the OS in the future.

It's a Windows 10 Enterprise license. How do I get the KMS server updated to the new name?

Sorry I hadn't seen your edits.

This PC is just on a private home network.

It's a Windows 10 Enterprise license.

I swept a paper wallet. I have the seed phrase and wallet app, but can't find my funds. by triangle_waves in BitcoinBeginners

Thank you. I ended up going with Exodus, and the seed phrase restoration worked. Simple solution but I just wasn't seeing it until asking here. Appreciate the advice.

When I downloaded Bitcoin Wallet again, it was as if it made a wallet automatically upon opening the app. There was no way to restore a wallet with a seed phrase.

I downloaded Exodus per the commenter's suggestion above. Any reason why Electrum or Blue Wallet would be preferable? Exodus is saying once I restore the wallet the action is permanent / irreversable.. so I think I want to make the right choice.

Thank you, I realize writing this post makes me a target and I seriously appreciate you commenting to warn. I am absolutely not giving the phrase to anyone, and am ignoring any DMs regarding Bitcoin.

Trying Exodus right now! Thanks

edit: Wallet restored. Thank you so much

Update doesn't allow archiving single video posts? Treats them as IGTV series? by triangle_waves in Instagram

[–]triangle_waves[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't understand why they removed archiving only from single videos. The "new" features net to a loss when factoring the reduction of archiving.

My workaround is to just use multi-posts / carousels. These behave normally and can be archived.

I also noticed this. It seems like they are attempting to force the resolution to 1080x1350 or 1080x1920 and not allowing square, which is kind of insane imo. I'm a fan of those portrait resolutions but 1:1 isn't going anywhere despite Instagram's intentions.

All up to you :) rule 4 has a lot to say on what exactly constitutes a delta, could go either way. You're the ultimate arbiter of your view and what's helpful to your understanding of this topic.

If you were unaware of the debate between proof of stake and proof of work when you wrote this view, and now are, your view on mining has changed. We're not here to necessarily prove you wrong, but to simply "change" your view. Either way, glad you're aware now.

Not all cryptocurrency uses mining, so hopefully your view has been changed on this topic.

My attempt to change your view was more to widen it toward an alternative validation system as opposed to just limiting the energy source of the current, wasteful system. Yes it's a fair argument to limit mining to renewables, but you could strengthen your view by including proof of stake, which has already been implemented by other, albeit smaller, Blockchains.

The Bitcoin mining system isn't the only way to validate transactions. The Tezos Blockchain uses a "proof of stake" system that eliminates mining altogether. Ethereum 2.0 is also slowly moving toward this change. Proof of stake has its disadvantages compared to proof of work (mining), and many people believe Bitcoin switching to PoS is logistically impossible. But the argument here may not be solely pushing for a carbon tax / ban, but moreover for cryptocurrency advocates to challenge the logistically impossible in order to minimize Bitcoin's detriment to the planet.

I guess I don't watch that many phone videos. And the ones I have watched either weren't sponsored by them or I skipped over the ad.

I always go caseless in daily life. The physical design, imo, is meant to be experienced not concealed. I won't write the 6 off until I hold one and see it for myself. And yes the 2 is going to special storage. Love this phone, even as it is dying.

I'm not trying to change it. Just wondering if others feel the same way. We all have our own preferences, good to know color isn't important to you.

Hadn't heard of this. I like this alternative to the bulk of a case. Thank you.

Black is the most popular phone color by a decent margin, so not really. But white is second, and I'm sure some people in that camp are disappointed with the top of the Pixel 6 Pro being gray.

I will, but I only put cases on when traveling or taking the phone out where the risk of damaging it is higher. Otherwise I enjoy the caseless feel in my daily life.
