    Sold their souls to the Bing Devil.

    Like I said you either believe that DuckDuckGo filters you out or you don’t. When you search on DDG they perform the search on your behalf on Bing. Bing does not see YOU. Only DDG. They don’t know you asked for the search because they only see DDG. That’s the whole point.

    Sold their souls to the Bing Devil.

    Because the information they collect isn’t personally linked to you. They have to get something from you or it wouldn’t be possible to deliver the search results back to you. They also display ads based on what you just searched. You search for tires you get ads for, ya know, tires.

    Sold their souls to the Bing Devil.

    So? You either trust DuckDuckGo to filter out all of your PII and demographics or you don’t. None of these companies have the resources to run their own search engine so they have to leverage Bing and Google to do it. And they have to collect and provide to others some demographic data to...

    PM generated via Groups.io Service fails DMARC - What should I tell support (beyond that)?

    I see this all the time: Stupid people subscribe and then get too many emails, they quit reading them, and forget how they got signed up. So instead of unsubscribing, they mark them as spam.

    [REQUEST] How to Backup AutoDesk Land Desktop 2007?

    This. Yes it’s $4000 program or a $400 a month subscription but I’ve seen the rates drafters charge(or he should be charging). Cost of doing business. Cheap clients are bad clients.

    Computer migration/transfer procedure

    Same answer FABS. You point the destination to a flash drive and it creates an entire directory structure of all the data. It can be used later to restore to the other PC. Even when I have the PCs side by side that is MY usual method. I don't tend to use the transfer via network mode as if...

    PC won't power on

    If it will not power on the first thing to check is the power supply and work your way inward. Is it properly connected to the motherboard? Is the 4 or 8 pin CPU power connected? Is the power button properly connected to the jumpers and so on? Usually on DIY systems, I assume the client is...

    Jargon in place of apostrophe in emails

    The term you are looking for is gibberish not jargon.

    Fab's Autobackup only copying a few hundred MB

    This. It will not backup items on OneDrive that are NOT locally stored. Those files will be "restored" when the user logs into Onedrive. What you are seeing is basically a shortcut to the file, not the actual file. If the file has a cloud in the status line in Windows Explorer the file is...

    Unreadable drive after using chkdsk

    It is rare that I actually have to run chkdsk anymore. Back in the Xp days, you ran it often and it fixed stuff. Nowadays I rarely see a true file structure issue (Modern NTFS is very self-correcting) and that is usually also a hardware problem, which is when you DON'T run chkdsk.

    Well according to the OP Rule1 and 2 were broken by the client before the tech laid hands on the drive.

    There are some PowerShell scripts to run on compromised mailboxes. https://github.com/Scine/Office365/blob/master/AD-365%20Compromised%20Account%20Procedure.ps1

    "Foolproof" disc cloning software

    Yes, but only a couple of times. 98% of the time it does nothing at all or nothing that fixes the problem.

    Clone HDD's failing often

    Fabs is NOT a full image backup program. It’s only backups data files and some settings. Useful if a client buys a new PC with Windows already installed.
