When it comes to keystones I’ve never seen one that wasn’t B. The punch down HAS nothing to do with how the jack is wired. Quit looking at sh!t online and punch it down as it is labeled!

It's what most backup programs call a delta backup. They compare the file on the server to the file locally and only back up the changed parts. Yes if someone really does major changes to a file then it is unlikely to be able for a delta. But most files are not changed that drastically and...

If it was child's play then the malware calling the app would always be detected. You do realize that these are apps engineered to avoid detection by the OS or other applications? By using exploits.

They never will because too many malware tools roll in those tools. They can be easily used for evil so they will always be flagged. Sometimes it is the ONLY item in a malware stack that gets found and said malware can't do its stuff because the AV killed the support tool. Annoying as hell...

Which is why you buy M365 personal and get 1tb plus office for $69/yr. Or family and get 6 users each with a TB for $99/yr.

No, it wasn't backported. It's been possible since Windows 8. Most OEMs opted out as THEY are the first line of support and like you and most techs felt it would cause more problems than it solves. Liability issues with lost data have made the demand for it increase and M$ has responded by...

Yes, it seems to be on Windows 11 systems. You'd sometimes see it on 10 but EVERY 11 home system I have worked on Desktop or Laptop has been BitLockered.

No, you remember correctly, but again, the OEM has the option to disable the defaults. Most do on the PRO setup.

I have a Lenovo Yoga C740-15IML laptop on my bench. The EU states that it is randomly shutting down. He said it was just blanking the screen but the two times I saw it the unit had fully powered off. You are working along and suddenly the screen flashes, random pixeled squares pop up and...

Yep, this is what places that sell used batteries as new do. Step 2 is printing the fake label. They are just clearing the chip of its failure data.

There's nothing more to tell. It is an accurate description. Encryption requires ALL THE BITS, miss one and it can be all lost. Bitlocker encrypts at a file level but it also encrypts the partition information. If that gets messed up then the whole drive is lost.

What I want to know is if Not Enabled means not encrypted. I can see the disk being shipped with the encryption enabled but it a bypass state where the TPM always allows access as it waits for that final step, a properly authenticated M$ account or Active Directory account to disable the bypass...

Yep. And with WIndows 11 Microsoft is really pushing HARD on enabling Bitlocker. Many more systems ship from OEMs with it enabled in 11 vs 10 in which most didn't enable it. Desktops are also being enabled which almost NEVER happened on 10.

Yes. Bitlocker is only enabled on installation via a properly set up SYSPREPed drive. Just doing a regular install of Windows will NOT set it up and even those small system builders out there who use Sysprep can configure it to NOT enable Bitlocker. M$ is really pushing it hard on OEMs so...

Yeah but he imaged the drive and tried the image on totally different hardware. This appears to be a corrupted drive.

TIL. I had seen such stripes but didn't know the significance.

Video driver would be my guess.

Then I genuinely don't follow your question. Can you explain again?

Lenovos are on both ends of the spectrum. Thinkpads are great some of the best PCs made. IdeaPads are opposite the worst PCs made. Yogas are on the IdeaPad side of the scale, except for the few that are also branded as Thinkpad. Not the case with this one as it only a Yoga so it is an...
