WSL, or Windows Subsystem for Linux, is super-useful for running linux in Windows 10/11.
But what happens when you want to copy your WSL flavor of linux to another machine?
With WSL2, it’s super-easy!
Just type a few commands, and you’re off and running…
We hear a lot about quantum computers these days. They’re supposed to work almost like magic.
We’re even told to choose a certain VPN because they’re “quantum proof”!
The trouble is, even most experts agree we’re not ‘there’ yet. Far from being an impending breakthrough, quantum computing is still quite experimental – but you’d never know it from reading the stories in the news.
On the plus side, it just so happens that quantum computers raise fundamental questions about the very nature of reality! Which is nice.
Recently, Microsoft started pushing out Windows 11 24H2 to darn near everyone.
Ideally, this is because it’s now stable…
Unfortunately, many users are having problems accessing shared folders on their local network after upgrading to 24H2.
Luckily, once we understand WHY this is happening, it’s pretty easy to fix!
My wife’s MSI GE75 Raider 10SE laptop recently had a quirky audio issue: the mic volume was really, really low.
It didn’t matter if she used the integrated mic, or an external one.
I set out to solve the problem, and determined that it wasn’t faulty hardware.
Instead, the issue is driver-related – and apparently also seen on many other makes and models of PC and laptop!!
End-to-end encryption is supposed to be ultra-safe.
Unfortunately, it’s not.
Even though it sounds good on paper, the way E2EE is coded and used can make all the difference between security and epic data leaks.
In less than 60s:
Ever wondered what the big deal with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) is?
There are 2 main types of encryption.
One means the central server is a “man in the middle”, and the other means the server is just a relay of sorts.
Check out this 58-second explanation of E2EE:
Person 1: My messenging app is more secure.
Person 2: No, MINE is!
Person 3: No way, I ONLY use Signal – it’s the most secure!
Okay, y’all are fired.
What if I told you that NONE of the messaging apps you use are really, truly secure?
Sound crazy?
Well, it is. The encryption is as good as you’re gonna get.
The problem is the way it’s used that actually matters…
One year ago, I said this:
“If you’re having trouble with files/folders not appearing until you refresh the folder view with a tap on F5, then you’ve been hit by the dreaded Explorer Doesn’t Refresh Automatically bug
Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to fix.
Behold: Three ways to fix the glitch!”
Still not working??
Using Microsoft software can be quite an adventure. It’s especially fun when your previously activated copy of Windows or Office decides to de-activate itself!
Sometimes, the usual official routes of re-activation are useful. Other times, not so much…
Isn’t there a way to re-activate your legal copy of Windows EASILY?!
Why, yes, there is!
About a month ago, Thunderbird 128: Nebula was released!
I know, I didn’t know about it either. I just finally got it automagically last week. Chances are, so did the rest of you – after the Tbird team fixed all the bugs.
In any case, Thunderbird 128 looks the same, but there are quite a few notable improvements.
