So just got this up and running yesterday and today my wife used it for the first time. She did what she needed to do, but we may have come across a bug. I don’t know. She had to take a 72 page PDF and break it out into multiple smaller PDFs. While she was doing that, multiple pages in the preview window would keep going blank/white. Not sure if you’re aware of something like that, if not I can try to reproduce and grab logs and post them on github.

Majority of overseas MS employees are based out of India. Still a problem, but you’re right.

Saw this as an option in TrueNAS earlier and will probably be standing this up when I get home today. I was curious about the difference between this and Stirling, but that appears to have been answered. Thank you for what you do and I’ll definitely give it a try.

Update: got it up and running. Works great. Wife deals with PDFs a lot and she loves it. Thanks again!

Just a reminder for anyone that has a problem with this, but still uses the service… You’re part of the problem. If you don’t like it, boycott.

Stop using the fucking service! I’m so sick of people complaining about all of these tech companies, but they continue to use it. People need to realize they have an addiction issue and treat that shit.

Here’s some charts from July last year. I don’t know if there’s any other leaked charts out there, but short answer is that your password doesn’t matter. Keep in mind that the images in the above link are a year and a half old, they can definitely crack updated OSs.

You should read up on Celebrite. They most definitely can get into a wide variety of phones from a cold boot. GrapheneOS seems to be one of the only ones that make their job hard.

100% agree, just listened to it recently and wow was it boring. That and Foundation, thought since liked the show that I’d like the books, wrong. Those are the only 2 books so far that I just couldn’t get into. But I suffered through to the end with both. Even started the second Foundation book and then asked myself why I was torturing myself.

Hahahaha, bet he’ll claim it was rigged.

If anti-trust is still a thing after the next 3 years.

You think this administration does any planning? They only have concepts of plans.

And if any of it is true, they’ll be the ones wondering why they didn’t get taken because they’re such good little christians.

The main settings that I mentioned are under integration services settings on the VM. There’s probably plenty of guides available on YouTube for Hyper-V along with the official Microsoft documentation (which probably isn’t that great).

Hyper-V is the hypervisor that the VM runs on. Yeah I don’t really know which malware scanners are the go to ones anymore. Just figure if I can get it to pass through 2 different ones ok then it’s probably ok. I’m sure there’s some other good ones out there. I’ve heard of ESET and virustotal, but I’m not familiar.

I use Hyper-V because I run server 2022 and it’s free. Hyper-V allows you to disable any host resource sharing in the VM settings.

On my sandbox VM I’ll scan the files then install and scan, then run the software and scan. I use both defender and I think malwarebytes. It’s a lot of extra work for no gain, but I’d rather be too careful than risk installing malware.
