Disagree when it comes to security patches.

Getting into the command line isn’t the problem. It’s the lack of consistency in how things are configured and the random command names that you have to remember or look up.

Windows might be tied to an online account, but Linux is tied to online communities to figure out nearly anything.

Fair, but why not enable updates by default? Not doing so seems like a disservice to the internet community.

Stock rpi released in December.

I just set up a raspberry pi and i couldn’t figure out if it would automatically update, there wasn’t any gui option for it.

I found a few websites all with different methods to set up auto update. One of the most accepted was some cli that was encouraged to copy/paste. It installed something, but it then needed additional config to work on rpi.

30 mins from the time I powered on it was ready. In windows, it’s enabled out of the box and searching for “updates” on the task bar finds it for you.

Which of these OS’s was easier?

The issue was that they werent letting customers change or decline a component that updates regularly and they weren’t testing it hemselves.

I was forced to switch to CS and there are better products and managed edr out there.

From a different perspective, renting a pc and having a thin client would be a lot better for the environment and cheaper for the consumer.

Sadly I don’t think that’s the goal of these companies

Meshtastic is just as susceptible to listening and isn’t perfect at encryption or anonymity but should be another tool to consider when cellphone towers are down or otherwise unusable.

Yes. You can get them cheap online and they have a built in “encryption” function that isn’t well protected but might prevent people from listening in realtime.

Shouldn’t know how to cancel/disable onedrive either then and doesn’t need to worry about this fear mongering article.

During user profile creation she accepted that option.

As the admin you should fix onedrive seamless sso so th yr don’t need to worry about signin.

That data isn’t the problem. It’s the backed up folders that’s the problem.

Last time I set up a user account onedrive was not forced. It’s suggested and you had to click a few buttons to turn it on.

I wonder if other apps that do cloud offload work in the same way: disable service and you lose cloud-sync’d content unless you downloaded it ahead of time.

I’m also curious if onedrive prompts you to save/downlod your data first.

Garbage article, but I think what they are saying is if you don’t restore your files from backup before you disable your onedrive backup, then you lose your files.

This sounds like user error.

Run windows in a vm for work.

Took me for a spin.

External. I also have two older laptop drives from different machines that converted to External.

If you’re really paranoid you can export the data to different media types including archival dvd and archival tape. Tape is unreasonably expensive for SMB/home use though.

I just bought a drive. They are cheap and plentiful. They are literally used for multi-decade archival. They will go extinct eventually but you won’t be alive to witness it.
