It enraged casual home users, not techies.

Bad actors can afford $50 the same as good ones.

The difference between $0 and $50 isn’t really relevant.

LetsEncrypt is legit. A downside is that the certs expire after 90 days. However, that also carries an upside in that it limits the damage in case a certificate is compromised. There are procedures by which you can automatically renew/request (I forget whether they allow renewing an existing cert or require a brand new one) LE certs and apply them to your application, but that can be fiddly to configure.

If you’re not comfortable with configuring automatic certificate cycling, a long-term paid cert would be more appropriate.

I ran ELIZA on a Timex/Sinclair 2068.

Desktop background (or other theme stuff) - easiest way is to just reset that to what you want.

The arrow overlay on .lnk files, you could check regedit HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer for a “Shell Icons” key (“subfolder”), which should only be there if it was added manually, but I’d be interested in what it was if it was there.

You could also try rebuilding the icon cache.

I have to think that both of these have something to do with the system looking in the “old” place for the desktop background image and the icon cache, and not finding them there.

I am aware that on a Windows machine, turning on a OneDrive subscription (or at least an E5 license, is where I’m very specifically talking about), certain folders get moved from c:\users\[username] into c:\users\[username]\OneDrive. Then OneDrive syncs those locations up to 365.

If you just open cmd (not as admin), it will put you at c:\users\[username] and then if you just cd desktop … yeah, that’s empy now. dir in c:\users\[username] and I bet you’ll find a OneDrive folder.

Of note, the default user folder paths that get changed are \Attachments \Desktop \Documents \Pictures. \Downloads stays at c:\users\[username]\downloads

The code is stored in the balls.

My soul is worth more than that, and I don’t even have one.

What if I’m an email administrator who came from Timex/Sinclair?

If you are accepting payments, you absolutely want to offload that to a third party payment processor, so that you don’t have to go through the hassle of doing PCI compliance.

I am enjoying Freetube on desktop, and I just don’t watch videos on my phone.

I was going more for a “Linu Stars and Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things?? Let’s Find Out!”

But that only spells “LINU”.

It’s not as scary as it sounds.
