Did you read the link you posted? It says you must have Intel 8th gen or higher AND tpm 2.0

Not just tpm 2.0

It’s not possible to see the image, when I click on the fediverse button (link to https://lemmy.thewooskeys.com/post/575941) I get a xitter-style forced signup screen

It is unrealistic that parts with that age are brand new, available in that quantity. It might happens that some distributor misplaces some box and a couple computers are old new stock after a decade, but hundreds?

Also: W11 pro OEM is 120 euro and office 365 perpetual doesn’t even exist, and if they meant office 2024 home and business is 299 euro. 120+299 exceed the listing price

Ok read the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-24h2-supported-intel-processors

Where does it say that you can use a 6th gen Intel CPU if you install a tpm chip?

The tpm is definitely not used as you can install it on a supported system, then go to the bios, disable secure boot and tpm and it still works (if the automatic “ransomware” bitlocker encryption didn’t start)

Yes ok from an accounting point of view.

But from a functional point of view?

I see how my bank teller works: they connect to a terminal server

I see how my other bank works: a VM that runs AS/400 that is acting as a terminal to their mainframe

Why they’re changing computers so often? The first one can use any PC released in the past 15 years and the second one can use any released in the past 30 years

First row of the 400 euro one

My gripe with that is that the seller is scamming inexperienced people, they think that they are buying a brand new PC while instead it’s not

(The fact that a 400 euro PC includes 600 euro of software licenses should ring a bell about the legitimacy to the buyer, though)

“NUOVO” in Capital letters means NEW

I call it ewaste because it is coming from that. Banks and corporations change computers every 3-5 years because accounting love to lease rather to buy

Those computers go to ewaste centers, then some not honest sellers take the components (that usually were left on 24/7 because in offices nobody bothers to turn off computers) and put them in brand new cases

That’s why is a scam, selling old stuff that came from an ewaste center as brand new

But indeed it you expose all the ports to internet (not just connect under nat) windows XP, you gonna get infected by blaster within 5 minutes

Windows 11 doesn’t actually need the tpm. They just check: “oh it’s Intel 6th gen, it’s trash from the last decade, sorry incompatible ewaste, buy a new one”

Intel 6th gen + tpm chip = still “incompatible”

Their marketing told us the lie “it needs tpm and secure boot” but they actually check if it has introduced to the market after 2018 or not

In those units the scammer patched the install image to install without the check. Who buys this will get a surprise when in the next months the next update comes out and refuse to install (25h1?)

How not?

If a lxc container is in a btrfs subvolume or in a zfs dataset (those are created easily like a directory, it’s not a partition), you can do a full 1:1 copy in less than one second via a snapshot, keeping all the system files, database, version and configs

Unrelated but why a full VM for Linux stuff, lxc is much more efficient

My parents fire tv has already been remotely disabled by Amazon. It loads, then the launcher goes online to download all the ads, crashes because too many, reboot, repeat, loop

I like this but I hate that’s maintained by automattic. One day Matt gets drunk in a xitter fight and discontinues the product just to prove his point. He’s as unstable as elon

Another big problem of languagetool is that they “forgot” to add any kind of authentication in the self hosted version, so even if you have gigabytes of unused memory it can’t be published online

It looks like a 1:1 modernized copy of the blackberry passport to the tiniest detail. The size. The weight. The 3 row physical keyboard with capacitive gestures. The screen resolution is also 1440*1440. And the huge top bezel.

Wonder if the bootloader can be unlocked or they copied also that from blackberry

Privacy? I’m sure that Google tried so hard to monetize it and after so many years they didn’t found a way, couldn’t use it for ai training too, so they decided to turn it off and save millions in database costs.

They still exfiltrate user movements for improving Google maps, it’s just that they don’t need to keep them indefinitely or for years or maintain a nice interface for that

It feeds from YouTube music so you’d be lucky if you can get the clean music version and not the videoclip version with gunshots, cars speeding and people talking over it

Seeing how Trump has a talent to choose the absolute worst for a specific job, I hope they manage to get shell access and delete the database and its only backup that was accidentally stored in the same server with the same credentials
