I work for a few places that use this.... basically a few of the staff members hook their own laptops up to the network and use that to verify the LTSB copy.... so no candy crush, no minecraft etc. Its great however I just use Win7 lol... I believe its the same KMS key server stuff the same as Win7 ...

There's always going to be alleged professionals who hurt themselves or their fellow employees or their family with their guns.

Who remembers the DEA agent who was in a classroom and stated he was the only one 'professional' enough to handle a Glock 22.

Then promptly shot himself in the leg.

He'll need it up quick... the caravan is coming... any day now... I suspect it'll be a pressing issue once more when the subpoenas start coming.

Its such a useful tool like just before the mid terms. After?

We'll keep that in our back pocket for now...

I think many people look at the question of gun control thru their own lense. I'm a reasonably competant person with no criminal record, no mental issues and generally stable life. So I feel like I should be ok to own a gun. But the flip side is that there's a lot of people a lot less responsible th...

I'm slightly ok with countries having compulsory military service, say for a short time, 6 months to a year. Saying that as someone who never has to do that. I also put it to you that in times of a national emergency most countries will devolve into a police state and that they wont hesistate to con...

You cant blame news for covering when 11 people get shot in a church vs. what *may* have been prevented when someone kills an assailant. But even given that its impossible to do gun restrictions in the US given theres no registration. You can take away guns from the British and Australians since the...

Muslims arent a monolithic group.

Granted they havent accepted their clergy molesting children on the degree of certain other mainstream religions.

1st thing everyone should be doing is reading the HMM for you model.

This is good for 99% of issues.

But I know few people want to go to this trouble.

I feel like the best thing about Microsoft is that they are incompetant in many arenas. Would you use Bing? How safe is Edge? We know Google and Facebook are the devil and you can handily ignore Twit and Amazon. With 3 alternate big name browsers its not like as if you are tied. Do you guys like duc...

I think its easy to sit back and say "hold steady".

If you're an employee at Panasonic in the UK and you lost your job because they're moving to the Netherlands....

The response to that is that countries shouldnt put economic performance as the main goal.

Sometimes you have die standing up rather than begging on your knees.

Not much of a life if you existence relies on the vagaries of some bureacrats in Brussels...

I think its very easy to sit on a forum and tell people to 'fight'.... people 'fought' in Charlottesville and got ran over and killed by loonie in a Dodge Charger. Let's be realistic... if you're here you're likely to be in a middle class westernised family with all your usual things... children, a ...

The Russians get a free pass as there's many who would rather be on the side of the Russians than say a blue candidate. If they're helping me win then who cares. Further the Russians like to hack election nodes dont they? As I said before, the Chinese are the least of your worries... they are after ...

Out of the units I have, I have only see brittle plastics on my x300 and my t400s, especially bezels or wherever is thin.

Everything else is solid. Maybe they used a different composition on the lightweight units.

Someone hacked his account... or 'hacked' as in he left himself logged in and a spammer took over.

Most of us here are middle class educated folks in the western world. I'm guessing we have reasonable jobs and have reasonable expectations in western society of adequate housing food resources etc. Our kids are educated and although many of us are unhappy with our lot, we have a lot to be thankful ...

Yeah there's two different mindsets... eg. I love the T40-43 series however a single core laptop with say 2gb and whatever ancient Intel GFX is not a usable machine to me in any o/s given today's workload. HOwever if you want to put a machine on a pedestal and run a 'period' o/s as a collector then ...

LOL that article.

It says that some countries havent banned Lenovo per se, rather they were either not up for contention or they wouldnt pass qualifications anyway... a soft ban.


Anyhow they were mainly using Dell or HPs when I was in.

Is this because 'S440' would be a controversial name in CN? 4 = dead (roughly) So the Clunkpad S-dead-ded-zero wouldnt go down well. 3 is good number in china though. Yeah this isnt any laptop that many would aspire to here although the T440p is supposed to be a diamond in the rought althought that ...

The irony is that MS got rid of most of their QA for this and the middle managers are probably going to upper management... this is a consequence of that decison and there will be no blowback and they dont care about bad press at this point because... what other o/s are you going to switch to? The v...

The A31 is slightly before my time... I feel that being a P4M machine it'll be overlooked by many and further, with the reputation at the time, many would have ended up in landfill in China. I went from the T20/23 straight to the T40/43. I'm quite fond of the T40 class but I also have a HP Business ...

The October 2018 Update tried to tidy up this situation. When KFR is being used, the October 2018 Update will delete the original, default Known Folder locations. Microsoft imagined that this would simply remove some empty, redundant directories from your user profile. No need to have a Documents di...

I feel like at this point MS are doing an 'all care but no responsibility' as far as these major updates go. If you lose your MyDocs folder well then... that's your issue. You cant actually complain to MS about it as WIndows has always been a caveat emptor piece of software. You didnt back up? THat'...

You shouldnt be installing preview updates anyway.

Its really just beta updates, like the Win10 insider program.

The Asus Taichi would be an interesting unit if you like evolutionary dead ends.

It was also a support nightmare given that they didnt take to the win8.0 -> 8.1 upgrade.

I wonder how they operate under Win10.

Another way to go is that of a fairly recent Lenovo tablet. I have an x201 tablet and its quite nice. I feel like the x220 is let down by the 768p screen. So that leaves the x200 tablet which is a fine enough machine given it has a usuable SL9400/9600 cpu and an 800p screen. Would be nice but they a...

Probably a Intel gfx T420s w/ whitelist and at least 8Gb ram and an ssd. Maybe an ultrabay hdd adapter plus your choice of msata ssd if you so wish. Or maybe a T430 w/ the classic kbd upgrade. The very end of the line or just past it. I feel like a laptop should be reasonably usable... like if you h...

The reality is that you cant do nothing. I'm assuming you're an average person with a job and commitments. You going to demonstrate in the streets? Further it feels like most political parties in the respective countries are ok with this. People like to throw out quick slurs or sorts like 'sheep' bu...

Is the standard T440 substantially worse?

A quick glance seems to show that its about the same spec wise but obviously larger heavier cheaper.

This looks like an interesting machine and looks cheap enough ex-lease.

However the Optimus is super poor being a GT730 and good luck sifting thru all the 768p rubbish.

With a quad and perhaps an fhd or even a 900p screen it could be a goer.
