If the old tablet is Android, Fotoo is perfect. Yes it costs, but one off fee and worth it. Can pull from so many different sources.
Personally, I still use Google Photos. Both my wife and I have us, the kids and pets all autotagged into an album for all the pictures taken on our phones and Fotoo randomly shows these on the Nexus 7 tablet I have taped into a wooden frame.
To quote Under Siege 2 “assumption is the mother of all fuck ups”.
3 years, dude! 😁
Enjoy giving Windows 11 a proper spin. I recommend choosing “English (World)” as the language/location, then you don’t get any of the post install bloat / sponsored apps, etc installed too. Then when you log in, just change your locale to the correct one if you want to use the Microsoft Store. Or don’t, if you want that to remain disabled.
30 seconds on Google would’ve answered your question.
The TPM is part of the Intel Management Engine in your CPU.
In your motherboard UEFI firmware, goto Security - Trusted Computing and enable Security Device support.
Et voilà.
It’s not directly the TPM - it’s the enhanced security instructions in the newer chips (which is the real reason for the very definite line drawn).
Read https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/why-windows-11-has-such-strict-hardware-requirements-according-to-microsoft/ from “A towering stack of security acronyms”
No chance.
You concentrate on the TPM but ignore the CPU requirements…? If you have a CPU that is up to spec, you have a TPM - they’re built in the CPU. Most people just need to turn it on in the BIOS (or update their BIOS as motherboard manufacturers have turned on the TPM as “Windows 11 support”)
The truth of it is, every “jump” OS, i.e. 95, XP, 7, 10 has run really poorly on >5 year old chips at the time of launching. And MS got panned at “how slow” is was. But it was also the norm to update your PC more often. Now speed increases have slowed and Moore’s Law has ended, it’s about security and performance hit of said security. The truth is, the kernel hardening and malware protection and encryption built into 11 to make it far less likely to get infected than 10 and 7 means it needs the hardware support to do it. Without it, it runs far slower or is less secure. Neither anyone wants.
When 10 support ends in 2 years time, the lowest supported processor for 11 will be nearly 9 years old…
This is the GOAT 🐐
Certainly YMMV. I have an HP 8720 and it works wirelessly perfectly, Windows finds it and installs it automatically. Including the scanner. Even works from my wife’s Chromebook. I can print from my Android phone without any issue.
I do pay for the HP ink subscription, but it’s only 99p per month, and that’s 15 pages with rollover and that suits our need 99% of the time.
This seems a bit fishy to me, I don’t buy it.
I reckon the couple had done something stupid in the car like drive it through a fjord ford that was deeper than they thought, or through a flooded section of road and actually did submerge the battery. Multiple times.
Then went to dinner. And the car had enough.
They get the scary quote, then decide to omit the majority of the day’s activities when complaining to the local newspaper in order to shame Tesla/Elon to pay up.
I had reliability issues with PiHole and moved to AdGuardHome a couple of years ago. It has never, ever crashed and the updates takes a couple of seconds. It rocks.
Have to disagree as I’ve tried pretty much all of them. The most popular “tiny10” and “tiny11” by NetDev (not mentioned above) is actually a bit of an arse with stuff broken. Same with the others. You shouldn’t need to skim through a Telegram group to figure out how you create a new user account… (Amolierated, I’m looking at you).
However, the one where it all just works is Ghost Spectre Superlite (Windows 11 version, though I’m sure the 10 version is similar). It is proper clever with its app that allows you to add the features you need and install the updates you want, or not if you prefer. They released a tweak to get CoPilot working too which just worked. And all in a tiny image with neat tweaks plus all the bloat gone. And the only one where my laptop instantly resumes and works perfectly with Modern Sleep.
Even has an extended WinPE boot environment with extra apps for hard drive partitioning, data recovery, etc. Worth a look.
Install as “English (World)” and all adverts and additional software is missed, as it doesn’t know your region, therefore doesn’t know what to serve.
If you need the Windows Store, you can change the region post install, and it’ll remain clean and the store will then populate.
Yes, our 365 team got estimates from Microsoft about 3 weeks ago.
If we don’t cull our usage before next August, our renewal will be £1m more than this year… That’s for 70,000 accounts and a whole lotta SharePoint.
Wait until Corporate sees the new data storage rates for 365 for next year and their potential new bill for cloud storage.
They’ll be spinning up those server room file servers in no time.
Until the directory structure and filename, including your SharePoint hostname, exceeds 400 characters and then it just breaks. Because, Microsoft.
Surprisingly easy to do with some quite nested folders with spaces in the names (as that takes 3 characters per space) and a long filename.
Because the paid-for “bloat” is per region. If you don’t define the region… taps side of forehead
Remember some ‘core’ apps, such as Paint and Calculator are delivered via the Store now too - so they’ll also be missing.
When choosing the region/language, choose “English (World)”. Boom, bloatware be gone.
You can safely change it to your correct region once you’ve logged in (Note: the Windows Store won’t work until you do).
DietPi (based on Debian). Incredibly lightweight. Easy menu system for installing apps easily which it then maintains and updates for you, or you can easily install Docker if you prefer that (or both). Contains a backup system if you want to use that too.
Wireguard needs kernel access so needs to run privileged.
Or perhaps, the pro version for free, due to the sub we’re in? Mobilism
