Seriously, if you’re working with analog electronics, 𝛑=√1̅0̅ is close enough. If you need more precision, use active error correction, and in the 21st century that’s easiest to do digitally anyway.

It’s too long for a comment but I made a Markdown copy in a post here: https://feddit.org/post/10009622

They are keeping around so many deprecated features for internal use and whatnot, I would be surprised if they did remove this registry check.

Until Windows 12 is released, you can always use an old ISO and then update to the newest version.

The command (C:\Windows\System32\) OOBE\bypassnro (.cmd) one types into the command prompt (after opening it with Shift+F10) for the bypass is the location of a batch file they will be removing (the parenthesized parts are optional, implied by the command interpreter, and so is any capitalization). You can still do whatever it’s doing (adding a registry key and restarting) by typing the command manually or providing a copy of the file on a USB drive. After a restart, the OS will check for the registry key AND lack of internet connection to provide the local account option.

For the record, the contents of the file are

@echo off
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
shutdown /r /t 0

The first line is optional, and so is the third if you’re OK with restarting manually. If creating the file on Unix-based systems, make sure the newline sequence is CRLF (DOS/Windows standard).

Obligatory shoutout to literally any Linux distro, which does not need this workaround, and is usually easier to install and set up than debloating a fresh Windows 11 install.

DMs had their uses, for example RemindMeBot cannot work over chat because there is no API.

Speaking of API, I don’t think there’s one for the chat, so removing DMs will greatly reduce the capabilities of RemindMeBot etc.

Not much work really, but few companies want their spaghetti code seen publicly.

They want an encrypted comms channel they can invite any of their oligarch friends into. There is no encryption strong enough to solve the problem with this premise.

Do you think entire forums are dedicated to degoogling Google Pixels because people happily brick their perfect fine phones? Yes, some Pixels were bricked during the development of GrapheneOS but many more will live longer thanks to a sleek, lightweight OS with life-extending security updates, not to mention the other advantages.

Umm… oh…

I guess I’ll give you the permission to eat this one head-first, as opposed to the socially accepted ass-first

I hope it’s delicious at least

I don’t think my grandma could do better without the mold. No shame if you don’t have one – it’s not common to have much storage nowadays!

Not to mention, many people do worse with the mold.

I was on holiday in Romania in the Bihor mountains. An old woman served us a kind of pancake she called plăcintă - a very funny word except the c is read as “ch”, not “s”.

Anyway, the Czech word is not far from that - palačinka. We also say omeleta or worse, amoleta.

Of course, Reddit has that “stay away from Lemmy” post first in search results.

Country “peninsulas” are cool too. You know those zen labyrinths?

Imagine an entire village inside one. Everyone gets extra calm and introspective on their way to school/work/water! Or shot if they dare to take a shortcut.

Egypt could have been even more square! Gimme that Halaib triangle to play with!

Fewer ads. Not zero, though

I wish I knew but there is a clue: ČT removing the slogan “the only taxi that pays YOU” from Taxík, their quiz show on wheels.
