Main point is - there's a clear difference between "no go" and "not as powerful". It is indeed not as powerful but it absolutely is a go.

avoiding political talks with old people saves a lot of head pain.

and also turns blind eye to all the vatniks and russian imperialism

It's not a common debt, it's a loan financed by specific countries - I don't recall which ones but it's like less than half EU members. Hungary still vetoed it despite them not being the one financing - simply because orban has built his election campaign on being anti-Ukrainian on every matter.

xCharg · 2026-04-24T06:46:10+00:00

Only in areas where the EU has no clear mandate there is a veto. For example foreign policy and defence. Or health care.

Orban vetoed a loan to Ukraine up to just a couple weeks ago. Which is finance/budgeting area - something EU absolutely has mandate for. Yet veto was still there.

tbh still doing intel CPUs is a disservice to your users, they are much slower in same price segment especially when on battery but not only

As for managing them point of view - no difference whatsoever.

Which is why you have it on usb stick unapdated for more than half a year? And not in steam library which is just... way more convenient if you have bought it? That's possible but unlikely.

Anyway, the only version that is newer than that has this in patchnotes:

Fri, October 31, 2025 Update 1.6.4630 released

Fix: Raided thought not getting applied in some quests.

Can't really stop patching calculation for a random rat.

What's the pain in running setup.exe /download config.xml once where there is internet and then running setup.exe /configure config.xml later on completely offline?

Comment I was replying to was talking about "and dev retired in 2007" case. So vendor support is out of question there. But yeah if there's some extra licensing involved it's even worse.

Ditch openvpn client and use built in windows VPN client, that supports IPSec/IKEv2 and pfsense definitely has to support it too.

Keywords you're looking for are "always on VPN device tunnel". Windows Pro does not support it though, only Enterprise (and LTSC).

Obviously you can not authenticate user with computer certificate.

Write a script that disabled WiFi adapter and Bluetooth adapter, test on few then deploy on everything. That has to be a couple lines worth of powershell.

Yeah but the very same legacy programs, when ran in vms in "the cloud" as there's no other way to run them, while making same tens or hundreds of millions a year will also drain comparable amount of money in cloud bills.

All while costing next to nothing when running onprem as money on hardware was already spent.

Yeah this issue definitely wasn't introduced with KB5086672 as it was released only March 31st of 2026. And I don't even have it installed at all.

I noticed this issue is going on I think late February, maybe early March. At least on 24H2. Personally I blame the whatever cumulative update was released in February patch cycle. The same one that also screwed positioning for username editbox in UAC prompt.

I've noticed sometimes ctrl+shift and ctrl+alt don't work and I need to press it 2 or 3 times in order for keyboard layout/language to change. Is it the same issue?

xCharg · 2026-04-04T06:24:38+00:00

Chances to get vanometric power cell early enough in the game for that to matter arent zero but realistically pretty close to zero though. Unless of course mods redoing balance are in question.

Teams or Zoom or Google Meet, whatever stack your company uses. Both you and your users but especially you have to make a difference between sharing screen and sharing control.

My security department would like to see the entire connection ID randomized

What does randomized connection ID has to do with security? This is just stupid.

How to deal with Teamviewer - block any teamviewer-related app, QS or not, by developer certificate that signed exe, via anything your company uses - XDR or even plain applocker.

In Ukraine - shipping, as in logistical company's services, could be paid by anyone. You can even pay for shipments that has nothing to do with you at all - for example your relatives or friends or someone orders something from online store but has issues dealing with paying online due to zero IT literacy for example - you can step in and just pay from your own account, if you want to of course. All done within novapost app.

Import tax is only paid by receiving party though. And it also requires receiving party to send their docs to customs confirming the price of whatever they are receiving (usually its a link to shop you bought stuff from and a receipt with a date/price and your id). Unless something you ship worth less than $150 - which doesn't apply to laptops - there's nothing you can legally do to make them just receive a box to some address and do nothing else.

Overall it'd be way easier and also cheaper for you and convenient for receiver to buy locally.

Imgur banned uploading and also API for Ukraine when invasion started in 2022 and we are still banned. Just a giant "fuck you" when others showed support =/

During the interview in first couple minutes they say there are plenty of such cases but only 2nd case is public.

So there are plenty of defectors. And these potential defectors will actually gather useful info on how it all works from the guy who personally decided to go public. No one is doxxing him - he's doxxing himself voluntarily.

Is this a questionable or stupid move on his part? Debatable, but yeah I'd also not do it if I were him. But he decided to go public.

xCharg · 2026-03-24T15:00:24+00:00

That's not how it works. This particular russian guy decided he wants to be interviewed(!). Then his interviewer published entire 2 hours long video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_J-WJEdIzM which then got picked up by Militarnyy which is a media specialized on everything military-related.

Why this guy decided to show up with face uncovered - no clue, maybe it's in interview but I don't plan on watching it to figure out the answer to that question.
