Most Americans are incredibly politically aware, but would not call their understanding political and don’t believe the government can resolve their problems.

They’re wrong about the former and right about the latter.

As long as you have some way of recognizing which is which in the windows installer so you don’t accidentally wipe your existing drive.

If you’re worried, just pull the one you don’t want wiped out of the system while you’re installing.

The new drive probably doesn’t show in the boot menu because it doesnt have a partition table or anything.

Are both drives the same size? What I’m trying to figure out is would you be able to recognize when the windows installer is trying to install to the wrong drive.

There’s a lot of people saying not to pay for windows or not to use eBay or to download from Microsoft directly or to use massgrave instead but there are very few possibly no responses explaining why that’s a better option than buying from eBay.

First things first, and I know this is gonna get some people responding with the ol’ “nuh-uh”, but there’s compromised counterfeit install media for sale. You most likely don’t know how to tell the good from the bad. The bad can also look very, very good.

If you want to know you’re getting the good stuff straight from Microsoft, use uupdump to create an updated install media for whatever sku(version of windows) you want and use rufus to make the usb installer (you’ll need to be inside a windows vm or on your old version of windows). The reason I say use Rufus is because it gives you the opportunity to turn off some stuff like requiring a Microsoft account in the 11 install process.

Once that’s done and installed, you can activate however you like, either with massgrave or with a key for your sku purchased from Microsoft directly.

Okay, clear the old upower data stored in your computers /var/lib/upower/ directory with rm /var/lib/upower/* then restart the upower service or just restart your computer.

No, just to install windows on the right drive. It doesn’t matter after that.

You can’t.

The laptop talks to the battery and the software you’re using tries to talk to the laptop to see what the battery says. What’s your laptop make and model, battery make and model and did you check the bios for battery configuration?

If this is your laptop then it uses an “a” keyed card like this one for $30, which is listed as supporting wpa3 in windows according to intel.

This is not true.

Especially nowadays network manager handles all that stuff. Nmcli or nmtui make it beyond easy and I haven’t messed with wpa_supplicant in about ten years.

Hey, post the model of your laptop and I’ll point you at a replacement wireless card that can do what you want.

I still use windows. Theres a bunch of stuff which needs it.

Seriously though, for about twenty years Microsoft has released patches on Tuesday. Don’t wait till Saturday, go ahead and restart on Tuesday. It’s easy and predictable and more often the patches are important.

I see.

There is no way to use wpa3 in windows with that wireless adapter.

Some of the answers provided itt will work:

running a vm hosted on windows with hardware passthrough and some simple operating system which does support wpa3 on that adapter bridged to your windows installation.

Running windows in a vm for lockdown browser has worked for me in the past. Try it and see. I used qemu.

Since you talked about it being your network and not some other person or institutions, you could always run two wireless networks, one supporting wpa3 and one supporting wpa2.

I do that everywhere for 2.5/5g so older devices can still connect to the wireless. If youre worried about a wpa3 thing connecting to the wpa2 network you can set them up with different passwords.

Is there a specific benefit of wpa3 you’re trying to get?

E: you could use a sbc that supports wpa3 and has an Ethernet port as some kind of mutant firewall/gateway like you do when tethering your phone, but that’s kinda silly…

E2: laptop or desktop? If laptop, what specific model? Often the wireless cards in laptops are replaceable and you could always put one in that has wpa3 in both Linux and windows.

Oh wow.

Are accounting firms subject to the same requirement as businesses that file themselves? It almost sounds like it’d be a good idea to have someone do all the filing for you so that when there’s a leak and you’re damaged by it you have legal recourse…

what version of windows? what wireless adapter?

You already understand. Wayland isn’t there yet.

does this work?

This is good news for flatpack!

It’s handled through keyring I think.

Next time it does that, run the “journalctl | tee journalctloutput.txt “command and see if it has lines from before the boot. If it does, paste the output of the lines from that boot to see when and how it’s failing or succeeding.

Damn, you got a lot of replies and no one said to just use paper forms.

Idk if the uk allows it still, it’d be surprising if it didn’t though.
