I think we could stand to do a bit less thinking of the children.

On the talk page they continue to debate the page title.

You need beans.

Hi, I wanted to follow up and let readers know that I solved the problem. The root cause was the SSD firmware needed to be upgraded. I never would’ve guessed that was the cause, but apparently over the past year there were a bunch of WD Black SSDs that have problems on Windows unless they receive a patch.

My dad’s not a phone!

What a great photo!

Doesn’t mean we don’t use it as our main database

This is the actual login screen. Not the bit locker recovery screen. Thus, the drive has already been unlocked.

It relates to how they use the TPM and Windows hello. It appears to be known issue, but without great solutions online.

The best part is after my fifth or sixth attempt, it said I had to wait two hours before I could try to log into the PC again. In Safe Mode.

You know, the mode where you might be trying to debug something. Thus, restarting the machine more often than you normally would.

I couldn’t use Safe Mode to diagnose my driver problem on Windows 11 because it said I couldn’t sign in due to security reasons.

I’m not paraphrasing. It just told me because reasons. Because obviously I’m too dumb to understand. Right there at the login screen, as if they never even tested this feature once.

Don’t think it’ll be Windows that I’m going to reinstall this time.

Well hey, I appreciate the recommendation. Maybe it’s time to get back into Windows 98 gaming. Just like mom used to make.

Not a bad idea. How do you actually partake that hobby? Is it more the same building things or the challenge of getting old hardware/software working?

Computer electronics are like my main hobby. It was expensive on a good day. This makes it unaffordable.

The backwards thing is, it probably actually is profitable, but we can’t see beyond the next quarter. We don’t understand that you can invest in your people.

I might have kids if I had the space for it. You know, future taxpayers.

Good point. I suppose that’s what happened to Epstein. It seems they were extremely close and shared the same values.

Best I can do is fed interest rate cuts.

Precisely. This is extreme inequity. There are plenty of resources to go around.

The future was stolen.

An easier question: who hasn’t he betrayed? He often turns on his own appointees. I don’t even know what his positions are supposed to be on most issues, other than perhaps self-interested.

I can’t say that I was the least bit surprised.

It’s a comforting thought to think that these people will be punished someday, but I am doubtful. I think it’s up to us, as humans, to affect justice, as a human concept of our own collective creation rather than a divine or absolute one.

My main SSD failed two hours ago and the prices are crazy. I’m considering buying on the secondary market.

Alas, it seems that open source driver support for the newer standards is lagging. My OpenWRT One has only been in service for a couple of months, and it ended up being a trade-off I made intentionally for the flexibility.
