  • Look man, this is just exhausting. I’m well aware of that security policy. I have enabled it at some of my clients. But it’s not a default setting and would never be on a random non-enterprise PC. This is what I mean when I say the only people who are getting locked out this way were screwing with their computers in ways they don’t understand, installing random garbage and following bad advice on the internet.

    From your link:

    If you set the value to 0, or leave blank, the computer or device will never be locked as a result of this policy setting.








  • Do you really want me to count the number of times I’ve switched default browsers away from Edge, only to have it reverted back?

    So you suck at managing computers. Got it. This has never happened to me, but I also don’t install every third party app under the sun trying to fight how Windows is designed to work. I bet you have some shady custom start menu app and run CCleaner and defrag on a schedule.

    I’ve used MS OSes since MS-DOS 3.0.

    Ooh, big flex. I can go back even further but it doesn’t matter because only one of us here seems to know how to use MS OSes without everything randomly changing on them due to *checks notes* “dark patterns.”




  • Agreed. The immature iamsosmart user base is making me strongly consider leaving Lemmy for good. There just aren’t enough actual professionals here for any serious discussion in a technical community. It’s just a bunch of 20-year-olds who think they have the world figured out. And they all downvote based on emotion rather than facts (which I am quite prepared for).

    Microsoft accounts, OneDrive, and BitLocker are absolutely great features for the average user providing SSO, cloud storage with ransomware-proof backups, and seamless full-disk encryption.

    I love Linux too, but there seems to be no room for nuance on Lemmy. These children are insufferable.
