That isn't me who signed up. Someone else did. Gonna talk to the admins of the site to figure out who it was and cross check their IP with Neowin users IPs and then ban the idiot :)

However if whoever signed up as me would like to own up i'll forgive them and leave them be :p

Hey don't get me wrong, these team things can be fun. Getting other people to help in you quest for the Number 1 spot, being ahead of another group - etc.. etc.. But does a project that promotes NOT updating your box make SENSE in this day an age?? I mean really!!! Now the linux boxes normally do not need to be rebooted to update almost anything, but I saw some numbers well over 365 days - There have been quite a few kernel updates in the past year, that would warrant a UPDATE - and force a reboot.

And how many CRITICAL updates from MS have come out in say the last year?? Last 3-6 months even?? A project that promotes something that would prevent most people from installing a critical security patch - seems not fully thought out if you ask me!

I agree with you and my box will be rebooted if there is any critical patch, so I expect to hear screams one day soon. :p

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By dorf · Posted

      I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine) without secureboot it booting normally

      They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
