Are Tracking Protection Lists out for IE9 yet? I want to ditch Chrome to the point that I almost started writing an AdBlock BHO this week (until I read about this new feature).

Is there a good way to get my C:\Users directory onto D:\ when the install is a few hours/days old? Moving the Documents/Pictures/etc libraries is a piecemeal solution and I have a feeling symlinks/junctions will get ugly fast. This is mostly in the name of simplyfying my backups because I hate having my work documents in two places at once.

My new build is going to happen just after the free upgrade ends. If I upgraded a machine from 8.1 to 10 is there any way to transfer my 10 license? I've already priced in an OEM license so no big deal if not. Also did anyone ever bother with Storage Spaces or am I better off doing RAID1 via my motherboard?

Does the Windows 10 setup tool format sticks in UEFI? I can boot off them in Secure Boot but I keep finding pages telling me to use the base ISO and Rufus.

Yeah I just did a UEFI install last week since Secure Boot worked, but long story short I had to secure erase my Samsung drive after installing Win10 in order to enable Encrypted Drive. Now I'm installing it with CSM completely disabled and a stick that I assume based on these guides is idiot-proofed to only install via UEFI. At this point the only thing that could go wrong is if all secure erase utilities are not equal, since Samsung writes theirs assuming you can un-cable the drive and I can't safely do that with an M2, leaving me to use the one on my motherboard. loving hell hardware assisted encryption should not be this much of a pain in the rear end.

Honestly I'd be fine with Home if it had unrestricted BitLocker since I long ago gave up the foolish idea to build a domain just to enforce encryption on Windows Phone 8.

Unless it's changed from the 7/8 days: Sleep: Lower power state, can be woken up with a key press, everything is still in RAM and powered. Instant resume but uses most battery/wall power. Shutdown: Everything not written to disk is off, OS starts from a cold boot. No power use. Hybrid sleep: State between sleep and hibernation. Lower power than sleep but still non-zero. No one really uses this anymore / distinguishes it from sleep since SSDs made it more efficient to just hibernate. Hibernate: Contents of RAM written out to disk. System must be started with the power button but everything is reloaded when the computer starts up. No power usage but requires space equal to your RAM available on disk. A security risk if you don't encrypt your drive as the hibernation file could be extracted and read and thus expose credentials / crypto keys / etc. Unless you have work in progress and need to power off for whatever reason a cold boot is roughly as fast.

GreatGreen posted:Yes, actually. In Windows 7 I found everything I searched for that was actually there just by typing any string of characters the file or folder contained. Windows 10 can't even find "c:\folder\anotepadfile.txt" even if you start your search in "c:\folder\" and your search string is "anotepadfile".

CBC is still using Flash for the Olympics this year after CTV did a brilliant job with Silverlight in 2012.

Is that good enough or is there a standard recommendation for new install anti virus/spyware?

Not sure I have a solution but why DriveBender instead of vanilla Storage Spaces?

Hoping someone can provide a different perspective or solution for this: My family's PC runs a backup solution that requires access to a network drive, and Plex. I could move the network drive to a direct USB connection and change how it's mapped for everyone else, and Plex has a service wrapper that looks a bit janky, but it would be much easier to just log on and lock the account that runs them both whenever the PC reboots from updates. I've found a group policy that will let me log-in and lock the last interactive user when a PC reboots, but the account I need to do that with is actually the least likely to be the last interactive user (I remote in via SSH + RDP to provide tech support). Is there any way to tweak that policy to always fire for a specific account (like making the object for a single account via snap-in) or another way that isn't woefully insecure? It's just a local admin account with no Microsoft services attached, so I could dial security down for reliability if I really had to.

Plex is apparently weird with updates if you use the service wrapper but I could get around to it. The backup has a start/stop .vbs or .bat (I forget which) so that might work. The more elegant solution might just be to promote one of the family accounts so if they notice Plex is out they log in by themselves. The backup notifies me after three days and barely ever changes, so I could fix that whenever. Or maybe leave them as Users and teach them Run As just for Plex....
