>how would you explain the need for encryption to a idiot/normie
when you send a password plaintext through a network you do not have full control over, at any point when going through unknown parts, the password can be intercepted by a party not meant to have it

using encryption, while the data is sent between unknown services, only the end service is able to view the password.

I made a fresh install and I must say that the unattended tool at https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ is state of the art comfy.
It deals with 99% of the annoyances of a fresh install and it's reproducible.
It's either this or installing aids and use the chris titus tool to remove it.

Both those tools are buried in the section:
>Should I debloat / build my own ISO?
If you need to ask, then no.
If you know what you're doing:
https://pastebin.com/S5VKBirt

Imo this general should push the users to use these tools because it's either this or getting fucked by 100 small annoyances you need to fix by hand following some pajeet tutorials first SEO link on google.
The "if you know what you're doing" is no longer relevant because you can use these tools while chatting with an AI and get the quick run down of anything not clear.

I need to setup a lot of piece of shit S-mode Windows computers.
"start ms-cxh:localonly" does not work to skip OOBE when it's in S-mode and forces you to create a bullshit MS account, it's doable but wastes a lot of time.

I've been trying to use "windows configuration designer" to make unattended USB media but it shits itself when applying during OOBE. I'm sure it can be done but I can't find any resources how to properly set it up.

The other tricks to force yourself into the MS store to disable S-mode while in the OOBE are too lengthy to be worthwhile.

Slamming in a clean install isn't worthwhile due to loss of drivers and windows update can't always fix that by itself. Manually downloading them is too tedious.

Got any good suggestions to get past this shit with as little effort as possible?

I don't think you heard me the first time, I pirated windows 10 IOT LTSC. I know you live some worthless life in a gutter but that means that you, some third party developer, HAVE to support me on windows 10 until 2032. microsoft SAID SO. read my lips wagie, WINDOWS 10 IOT LTSC

AVIF can be hardware accelerated so it decodes fast even on a toaster, provided it has AV1 decoding. JXL doesn't have anything like this. So even if JXL is 10% better than AVIF at pictures of tree bark it's not enough to outweigh AVIF decoding at 9,001 MP/s.

Not all phones can software decode AVIF at 100 MP/s. Ignoring the toasters is pretty fucking retarded as far as the possibility of widespread universal support is concerned.

Of course I seriously doubt JXL is going down without a fight and you're gonna cream yourself in the 300+ reply thread boasting about the newly released JXL hardware accelerated decoding.

Is the a fork of this that doesn't have all the tranny shit?
If not how would one go about forking it, and what features should be added?

The old fan is making a slight rattling noise on startup but it goes away after 5 min. It's spinning at 3000rpm to cool down Athlon x250 which gets hot very quickly during cpu spikes (it shuts itself down at 70C). I'd like to replace it but I can't find any 70mm fans. Is there any CPU fan model (with a heatsink or not) that would fit this old motherboard (released in 2009), if yes then which size should I choose?

You use Mac for-

>going hiking and casting to reddit
>just being a super relient go-to machine that'll have your back in a pinch

Windows you use for

Linux, on the other hand, exists only for these principle reasons

Alright well since firefox is doubling down on implementing ai in their browser and theyre completely ignoring their user base professing how they dont want it. Which is the better fork of firefox to flee to? Im considering waterfox or librewolf since both are likely not to implement the new aislop bloat. Recently heard about this floorp browser too but its new to me and idk anything about it. Plus the name sounds gay as fuck which is the only reason im suspicious of it, the name alone already sounds like its begging to be abandoned but thats just my surface level take

I use firefox and i'm thinking to change to something but I don't know what to choose.

I made an HTML file with images to use as a default page.
Since I have enabled the option to restore the previous session I never see the start page and they removed the option to set a custom url each time you open a new tab.
I can't use the file I have created unless i keep it open in a tab.
