  • The previous videos were too long for anyone who doesn’t want to obsess about this. And this one is more pragmatic about your detergent of choice and thus more palatable for people who aren’t already fans of his.

    It’s also takes him less time to make videos like this according to the messages on his patreon.

    Personally I’m a fan of him remaking some videos like this. I can get my family to watch this a lot easier.




  • It does actually ask you if you want to sync those files if you’re installing it on W10. It’s a bit opaque in explaining the consequences in the simple wizard that allows you to enable or disable it by slider, but that’s why it’s a wizard.

    People who say it doesn’t probably just clicked next, next, next… Had a user complain about it too. Than a month later when we replaced his laptop with a W11 he was quite happy with it.

    It definitely has a very positive use case for the large majority of users.




  • Command line stuff on Windows (server) is in a pretty decent state now, imo. It’s not perfect but more and more is manageable with powershell. It took some time to really grok that you’re basically always working with objects but I’m a big fan and now quite dislike having to deal with just “text” output when I do something in Linux. (Probably also because I need to do a lot less in it so I’m not used to it as much)

    Personally again I also like the naming scheme much more than how it’s done in bash. If I need to do something I don’t know I can search the command by using logical words. E.g. I want to change the properties of a service but don’t know the command by heart I can use

    Get-Command service

    And I’ll get a list of all commands that contain the word service.

    When it comes to admin privileges you simply have the privileges of the account you used to start the session, which has its’ own dangers I suppose since it requires you to maintain account hygiene yourself.


  • Except this doesn’t work as faultless as you expect. If your DC is not reachable for some reason when you log in, you’ll have to authenticate afterwards to actually access the share. (If the share even loaded properly because this tends to happen in the login phase).

    This not to say there are no security risks to what is happening, but this situation is much, much more common than you think. And having to authenticate again at that point is actually more secure than just assuming you have access because your username exists or you authenticated against cached credentials.










  • If you calculate it to be cheaper for you, awesome! I hope you get a good deal! For me where I buy my stuff online the box of powder and glass shine liquid and salt is rated at 160 uses for €15. The same brand has 80 pods for €18. And I adjust the amount of powder to the amount of dishes and how dirty they are. And if there’s no glasses I don’t use the program so the liquid isn’t used. So I’m getting more than 160 uses out of it too.
