Need a meme of Michael from the Good Place feeling ill because Alex Jones got it right this time.

I think Slackware would be more:

Sits in the back of the room quietly working, well wearing a three piece plaid suit and smoking a pipe. Depending on the day the pipe may contain tobacco, marijuana, and/or mushrooms. Still uses a slide ruler because its stable tech.

No they do not have copies of every Bitlocker key.

Bitlocker by default creates a 48-bit recovery code that can be used to unlock an encrypted drive. If you run Windows with a personal Microsoft account it offers to backup that code into your Microsoft account in case your system needs recovered. The FBI submitted a supoena to request the code for a person's encrypted drive. Microsoft provided it, as required by law.

Bitlocker does not require that key be created, and you don't have to save it to Microsoft's cloud.

This is just a case of people not knowing how things work and getting surprised when the data they save in someone else's computer is accessed using the legal processes.

Yeah the texture sheet works, but I would never use it with PLA. I only use mine for TPU and sometimes polycarbonate. Anything else is either smooth or satin sheet.

-current

Updated it right before I built Wine.

Using the Steam release of Fallout 3 goty. Created a clean wine prefix, configured it for Windows 7. Installed .Net 3.5 sp1 and Visual C++ runtimes for 2008 and 2010 just in case. Installed latest DXVK with winetricks. Modified the system.reg with regedit to add key and string for the installed path.

After that I was able to run the Launcher, set it to windowed and launch it.

Have spent about 5 hours so far on current play through. Has crashed a couple of times.

Already downloaded and built it on Slackware.

Was able to get Fallout 3 running on it without mods or community patches. Working fairly well, as long as its run windowed fullscreen I can tab out and back without it crashing.

Mozilla using rapey techbro language.

Mozilla: "You said you didn't want it, but I know you really do. So shut up and enjoy it. If there is issues you can just kill it and it won't come back."

So done with their bullshit. After 25 years they have lost my trust.

Her other series are great. Tower and the Hive, Acorna, and the Tales of the Barque Cats. One of my favorite authors.
