@Dashrender said in Log Into Windows with a Biometric Ring:

So now you start stealing rings... lol

It's harder to steal a ring than credentials through phishing emails, as one example.

Quite a bit more 🙂 And easier to know when it has been stolen.

Now if the ring could read heart or other biometric and only work when on the right person's finger(s), even better.

In case you have a mix of private and public network profiles use this command.

Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck - Force

SkipNetworkProfileCheck ignores any public network profiles so you can enable remote powershell successfully.

@stus Thanks. Was just reading about it here.

Not quite the same as NFS 3 and NFS 4, but we intentionally use NFS 3 much of the time today even though NFS 4 is old.

This may be good for a fork...but why hang on to NFSv3 instead of stepping up to NFSv4??

Because the work differently and having the overhead of NFSv4 often does not make sense.

Can you give more detail?

They are very different protocols with a lot of different features. NFSv3 is much lighter than NFSv4.

@obsolesce It's called paravirtualization. And Xen has done it since the 1990s 🙂 Only Xen could do it for the entire VM, not just the drivers.

@syko24 free... and useless:

Limitations of the free license:

The free license is limited to five locks per day which means the free edition defends your system against five unique attacks per day. [...] The free license does not contain reporting (like the PRO edition does).

Also, no official support for Windows Server 2016.

I've never had a great experience with it.

It always tries to search online first for things that I know are on my local system. It irks me too. Like if I'm searching for Putty, it brings up an advert for it, rather than the local application!

Others have said that as well. I haven't had that experience.

I've had both experiences. Though lately it's worked as desired - local first, then online.

that's what's weird, I've had both too... side by side on machines installed the same way!

yep - I use Clonezilla to deploy machines - it's weird that they act differently.

Stuff on Wine rarely runs as well, it's the native stuff that really works.

My Linux is better than your Linux.

Didn't @art_of_shred recently get a Cameyo?

I don't know about recently 😛

Maybe at MangoCon it can make a Cameyo appearance!

You could... accidentally run a script that would make you required to rebuild everything.

Nah, it's not my job to force them to make the right decisions. Not even my friend

Well then, do whatever bills the most.

On a Chromebook, can you set your default browser to Firefox, IE, Edge, etc.?

On an iPad, can you set your default browser to Firefox, IE, Edge, Chrome, etc.?

The import thing is that you CAN set them to NOT Edge.

Yeah, well you see... it's no different than what other vendors are doing with their restrictive OSs.... it just so happens that Edge is new and people need to fix their programming 😛

runs away

Yeah... that's the issue.

Interesting, but nothing surprising.

I'm looking forward to these devices getting out and being able to get openSuse Tumbleweed loaded up on them 🙂

We don't use DHCP at all

I would go the other direction then and check for WINS queries and then visit all the NICs that are still using WINS and remove the entry. This article explains it:

Thanks! This actually answered a few of my other questions too.

I think that that picture makes it harder to find confidence in the products 🙂

Just the sad state of fashion in the late 70's

The hair styles are the worst part.

Not much pity for people not bothering to update.
