Has anyone else installed group policy editor on windows 11 home and actually had it work? I have it installed via the instructions in this video, and it opens just fine but it doesn't seem to actually do anything when I change policies. and I have tried running gpupdate /force in an administrator command prompt, it still doesn't seem to actually apply anything. For example, I tried the disable lock screen setting at Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization, setting "Do not display the lockscreen" to enabled does not seem to actually work. I've tried running gpupdate /force in a terminal and rebooting and it still doesn't actually appear to do anything at all.

Unfortunately, it is a roku based smart tv

My personal take on this is no it's not the same as piracy. Yes, it does unintentionally deprive some creators of revenue and that does suck. But until we move past limited data plans (which seems to be going backwards in the US). And until ad companies start taking responsibility for the ads they serve. I am in favor of blocking ads. Ads have become a vehicle for malware and all sorts of other nefarious things. As well as websites have become so loaded down with crap, tons of javascript, flashy animations, tracking etc. That throwing ads into that horrible mix can bring less powerful computers to their knees. Also, the last time I went without and adblocker most of the websites I visited had an obscene number of ads and popups and pop under. To the point that the ads were so distracting I couldn't even view the content on the damn page. Nobody uses simple text adverts anymore. I'm not against ads I'm against the ads we currently have they are the equivalent of turning the volume on the TV to 50 during the commercials when you normally have it set to 15. Is using a DVR to skip commercials piracy too? Give me a break. If people started showing less shitty ads people wouldn't need to block them. And in the case of youtube, i often load up a huge playlist of videos and watch it in place of television. My smart TV doesn't have adblock (I wish it did). But when you start putting the same shitty ad 10 times in a row and it's something I don't care about, and I can't skip it you bet it makes me irritated. And don't even get me started on the infomercial style ads that are literally an hour long. I should also say I don't mind in video sponsor bits that LTT does they're fairly short and most of the time non bothersome. EDITED: sorry, decided to tone down the language used.

One is Hynix and I have no idea what the other one is. Edit: Ok but how high is too high? And how low is too low?

I had a kit of RAM go bad a while back it was a 2x16gb kit, as I needed my computer back up and running right away, I purchased a new kit of ram I got for a really good price also a 2x16GB kit. The newer kit was only 3000 RAM at 18-18-18-38 1.35v. The old kit was 3200MHz 16-18-18-38 at 1.35v. Well, I got the old kit back from RMA and I decided why not toss that in too for 64GB. I know I don't really NEED 64gb right now, but I have it, so I figured why not. So, I installed both kits and set it to 3000 MHz 18-18-18-38 1.35v which is what the slower kit of RAM is rated for. But now I noticed that CPU-Z shows 18-18-38 and a tRFC of 825 clocks. I do not remember seeing what the tRFC was before nor do I remember seeing tRFC at all. 825 clocks seems crazy to me. I'm not sure what tRFC is or how to determine what it should be set to. Right now, it is set to Auto on my Asrock Z390 Pro 4 and that is what it the board sets it to 825. Could someone explain this timing and how to determine what it should be set to?

FF is what most people use as a short way of saying Firefox. Yes, Ublock Origin is a lot better than adblock plus. Adblock plus allows companies to buy their way onto a whitelist so that your ads still show up. I think you would be better off using brave turning the shields up to "Aggressive" mode and then disabling all of the brave rewards / crypto stuff. I'm not quite sure why you are so focused on "bad" sites. Yes, there are malicious websites out there, but no search engine is going to protect you from that. The difference between duckduckgo and google is google likes to track you and use the information it gets for advertising and stuff. Duckduckgo doesn't do this or at least they claim not to. Using either of them isn't going to stop bad websites as you put it from showing up in the results. If you have a good anti-virus, such as bitdefender or kaspersky or something of the sort they will usually stop you if they detect a known phishing website or something tries to do a driveby download.

https everywhere isn't really needed anymore the functionality is built into FF. You should absolutely be using ublock origin. Brave is a different animal. It's basically a degoogled chromium with its own adblock built in and a bunch of crypto junk. The idea behind brave is they block ads and show their own privacy respecting ads instead and pay you in crypto called BAT. Then you take the BAT and tip the content creators, so they don't lose money and you don't lose privacy. So, with brave you don't need ublock or https everywhere. Also, I wouldn't say Firefox is any safer than any of the others at this point. pretty much in my opinion this is how it goes. Use brave if you want a pretty good setup without messing with anything, you can opt out of the advertising and crypto parts if you want to. Firefox is good if you want to sit there and set it up with things like Ublock Origin, Arkenfox's userjs etc. I myself personally just use Edge with Ublock Origin, Sponsor block, and my Password Manager. Opera is terrible because it's not the Opera everyone knew and loved back in the 2000's. Opera was sold to a Chinese company who doesn't have the best reputation. If you search the company, you find out they are allegedly involved in some horrible things, not really going to dive down that rabbit hole so if you want to find anything out just do a bit of looking and you'll see. The bottom line is using any of the modern browers, firefox, brave, edge, vivaldi, chrome whatever are all about the same when it comes to overall security. The most important thing is to keep all of your software and your operating system up to date. Privacy on the other hand is where the browsers are different. Chrome probably is the worst for that. Brave is probably the best followed by a fully hardened firefox being next. I'm sure edge isn't the greatest for privacy but when microsoft has the keys locking the door isn't gonna do much good eh?

I was fetching my algebra book from my locker when I saw the news broadcast on TV. The entire high school had the TVs on in every classroom. I remember just thinking okay. since we aren't going to do much today can I just go home? I want to go to sleep. Hard to believe it's already been 20 years.

I wouldn't personally worry about the LTE radios or anything like that. I would be more worried about the battery that could potentially fail and set you / your bed on fire. Rare occurrence yes but more worrisome than some tiny bit of non-ionizing radiation. Edit: Your body is constantly bombarded by radiation every day it's in the air all around you. LTE, Television Signals, Public FM Radio, Wifi, not to mention the bloody sun.

Windows 11 doesn't take long to install at all. Probably about 15 minutes depending on how slow your hardware is. I am sure if you look you can probably find a tutorial on Youtube.

HP is not going to purposely ship malware on brand new machines, not to say that it couldn't happen somehow but. That would be a freaking PR disaster. They do however ship bloat garbage on there that companies pay them to include. Like I said if you're worried about it make a USB from the Microsoft website and re-install windows yourself.

You are not getting a 3080Ti for under $1000 let alone anywhere near $99... I don't know if facebook lets you report shitty ads but if they do report it.

It's bloatware junk that HP gets paid to put on their PCs. Or it's a return. Where did you purchase the computer? Big box stores such as Walmart are known to take returns and then just chuck them on the shelf as a new item. A brand-new windows 11 install straight from the ISO off Microsoft's servers have no such bookmarks. If you are worried about it just download the windows media creation tool off the Microsoft website, make a USB and re-install windows yourself. But most likely it's just trash that HP loads on for a payday.

For windows 11 Home, Shift + F10 when you hit the screen that wants you to choose an internet connection, then type TASKMGR look for Network Connection Flow.exe hit end task and it will skip the network connection allowing you to create a local account.

Couldn't you just make name.name@gmail.com? Or does the name.name@school.com disallow you to use name.name@gmail.com? Even so if you care about email privacy, I'd certainly stay away from gmail completely. Consider something like protonmail or tutanota. Both protonmail and tutanota use encryption and your mails are encrypted at rest. And both services offer free and paid options. Tutanota is much cheaper than proton. I myself use tutanota with my own domain name.

I don't know of any watches under $100 USD that have blood oxygen monitoring sorry.

Check out the PineTime | PINE64 its an open source smart watch that sells for about $27 USD.

I would suggest the Bitspower NJORD if you are looking for 120mm fans i have these in my rig and i've used them for over a year and they're still quiet as the day i got them. good flow decent pressure and they look great.

Nope I can boot Linux just fine with secure boot on. I'm currently running windows 11 and just booted a Manjaro usb a couple hours ago as a test. Edit: Some EFI allow you to import trusted keys. And if you cannot some distros such as ubuntu have a method to get around it using a shim binary signed by microsoft. Edit2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot Its a bit more of a pain in the ass but its doable.

Last time I looked at the website they removed mention of 1.2 and say 2.0 is required now. But I could be wrong or they could be wrong I don't think anyone knows for sure at this point.

Because Microsoft decided Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 support. It will not install without it. And from what I've seen at least on my own computers they don't have it enabled by default. Here's a quote from the windows 11 page:

I agree, but there is also the problem of Windows 11 requiring either a layman to go into the uefi and turn on TPM if they have a supported platform. I can't imagine them being able to handle doing that either. And that isn't something you can do remotely for people either.

As much as I love Linux and have used it as my main OS for years. its just not an option for me anymore because of anti-cheat software. The only way I could go back to using Linux as my main OS would be to give up gaming with my friends and I'm just not willing to do that. I've been using the windows 11 dev preview all day since it came out and I think its great. However I won't be doing anything "important" on it. Anything important I keep a USB stick with linux on it boot to that, take care of the important things I need to do and then boot back to windows.

That should be a 2nd gen Ryzen because its a tweaked 2600 rebranded to 1600. Also people don't seem to be understanding the restriction is nothing to do with how old the cpu is or how fast or slow it is, its all about hardware security features that the older chips are missing. The older chips just don't support the required hardware memory integrity and virtualization based security systems.

Actually there may be a legit reason for microsoft not supporting pre 8th gen intel cpus and pre zen 2 cpus from AMD. TPM is NOT the only reason. Windows 11 seems to use HCVI a hardware based security platform that was introduced with 8th gen intel and zen 2 cpus. While browsing reddit I ran across a post about it you can find that post here: https://redd.it/o9m5t5 perhaps this is the reason or it may not be just a wild guess and as per the reddit thread i'm guessing the compatibility tool isn't checking specific CPU's but rather if it supports the feature or not. Edit: I think 7th gen intels support this as well.
