You can handle those issues with power, setting group policies, and inhibiting action when the power button is pressed (that includes keyboard power buttons). Nothing will stop the user from killing power by holding the physical power button down, except for changing that setting (if available) in the BIOS.

Computer config->Preferences->Control panel settings->Power options

Jokes aside, how could I implement such a policy?

The policy you’re looking for is in Computer Configuration->Policies->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policies->User Rights Assignments->Shut down the system

This policy takes account or group names from your local or domain AD as its variable (like Domain Admins). After it’s successfully applied, only those users or groups will be able to shutdown the machine gracefully.

Create a new GPO or edit an existing one and apply it to the ADUC organizational unit containing the computer objects you need to target.

Sirius XM has entered the chat

That’s actually a good question. Surely Mastodon and Lemmy instances should have also seen an uptick in registrations?

Just out of curiosity, are you an Apple user, looking for alternatives to Apple’s AppStore?

WD, in turn, claimed the firm had not infringed Suess’ patents

So did they or didn’t they infringe? The article doesn’t say. I imagine MRT disassembled some drives to examine for infringement.

It is also possible that these hundreds of employees across the globe working R&D for Western Digital may have developed the same, or nearly the same, technology. But then MRT filed first if they were awarded the patient.

Given the track record of memory and other computer parts manufactures, I would say it’s more likely that they’re simply lying through their teeth.

No - I use some standard stuff in areas like that, when I’m able to come right out and under the soffit or siding. If I have to make a run, closer to the ground, with a brick facade, I’ll use it. I won’t go crazy actually trying to burry it when it stays near my house hidden by shrubs.

I have buried it for customers that require connections located in dislocated structures - trenches and filling by others though. 😅

You can save on all that conduit with direct burial Ethernet.

I’m an IT engineer, 100% of my time is spent on computer problems.

You name it, we got it!

No, you don’t need an Apple ID to setup an Apple laptop or other iDevice.

That’s all you ever need

Yeah, and bots are software setup and configured by humans to do things for humans. It’s still kind of humans using the internet, just not actively at the keyboard.

You mean the same Ashit Pai who also mismanaged and blew the $9 billion rural digital opportunity fund that was supposed to help underserved areas?

That Ashit Pai?

Similar for me - 1Blocker and pi-hole at home. Then I also VPN to my home when outside to continue the pi-hole filter.

I also use iCloud relay with non-precise location.

It’s a condom for your i

I have no issue with security devices requiring some sort of approval (which should be made available to self service), but devices like the screen, camera, battery, buttons, memory/storage, ports, speakers, etc, should be allowed whether or not they are factory.

Nuclear snakes

I was just reading his Wikipedia page and was reminded of the Six Flags incident, I was at that show. It was a subtle incident but bizarre. Just started throwing stands into the crowd. I was on the side and barely realized what was happening until someone said something. The rest of the show went on if I remember correctly, I was there to see WCAR who was great so they didn’t cancel the rest of the show or anything.

Could I be receiving anymore bitcoin??
