Do you have an actual point, or... you know what? Nevermind.

While private prisons are abhorrent and unconscionable, they aren't even close to the root cause of our prison problem. Hint: it's systemic racism and our militarized police culture.

Louisiana, the #1 on the list supposedly had 0 private prison inmates in 2021. Blaming private prisons at this point almost feels like deflecting from the real issues.

This was exactly my thought. Everyone up in here like she's gonna make Marge secretary of education.

Look man, this is just exhausting. I'm well aware of that security policy. I have enabled it at some of my clients. But it's not a default setting and would never be on a random non-enterprise PC. This is what I mean when I say the only people who are getting locked out this way were screwing with their computers in ways they don't understand, installing random garbage and following bad advice on the internet.

From your link:

If you set the value to 0, or leave blank, the computer or device will never be locked as a result of this policy setting.

I don't care what you think. I'm playing chess with a pigeon here. Test it yourself.

Edit: And sorry for being a jerk. Back to my original point, I'm pretty much fed up with the "technical" communities of Lemmy where correct information is downvote to oblivion and blatantly wrong information is lionized as absolute truth. And when I have tried to actually help and provide useful information I get met with the hordes of confidently incorrect people trying to discredit me.

That's the BitLocker PIN, not the OS PIN. Go away.

Bitlocker activates when you enter an incorrect OS password too many times.

This is completely false. Please stop spreading misinformation. You clearly have no idea how BitLocker works, nor Secure Boot, BCD, TPM, or PCRs. Or anything really.

Maybe you should stick to an iPad. I'm done replying to this blithering nonsense.

Yeah I get what you mean now. The SEO spamming AI garbage sites predate LLMs and are one of the worst things about the modern web. It's a legitimately necessary skill to identify and filter them out. I actually think they probably contributed to some of reddit's recent rise since everyone started adding "reddit" to their queries just to bypass that garbage.

I'm actually 46.

Here's a cookie:

 

Berlin artist Simon Weckert used 99 phones and a handcart to create a "virtual traffic jam" on Google Maps

 

Sure it's almost worthless with blackout restrictions if you're in your team's market. But free is free and it sometimes comes in handy when traveling.
