  1. Would you put sensitive info on OneDrive or Google Drive?

    I use Cryptomator and OneDrive. Files I consider sensitive go into the Cryptomator vault. When I first set up Cryptomator and started moving files into the vault, OneDrive and Windows Security went crazy warning me of a ransomware attack. Cryptomator allows me to keep the files on my hard drive...
  2. Windows update errors

    This worked for me as well. I'm on Build 22621.1265.
  3. Which is your preferred password manager software? 2nd Edition. New and improved

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/bitwarden-password-vaults-targeted-in-google-ads-phishing-attack/ I saw this story yesterday and I checked on the Bitwarden Forum and the website mentioned in the story no longer exists. Someone is using Google Ads to tempt people into clicking on...
  4. Are the new security measures excessive

    Here's what I have done: 1) I only use a Microsoft account and have set up account recovery methods, including an account recovery code that is printed out and stored in a safe location. I do have a Google account, but only because I have an Android phone. And I've set up account recovery...
  5. Solved Dell Inspiron 3880 sporadically loses internet connection

    @glasskuter I am not being snippy here, but I've had several Dell computers and know about the service tags. For this 3880, using the service tag, one of their "Urgent" drivers is for the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver, which applies to RAID systems, and which serves no useful function...
  6. Solved Dell Inspiron 3880 sporadically loses internet connection

    @glasskuter Thanks for all of your suggestions. This helped me know that I hadn't missed a bet about what steps I'm taking to solve the issue..
  7. Solved Dell Inspiron 3880 sporadically loses internet connection

    It's the first place I went to. The thing about Dell is that you really need to look close at the drivers to make sure they match up with the computer. Dell will have different configurations for the same model. There are times (like this problem) when I download the Dell Support Assist to check...
  8. Solved Dell Inspiron 3880 sporadically loses internet connection

    Typically, she only goes to Amazon.com, YouTube for some cooking shows that are commercially produced, Outlook.com, and MSN. She isn't one who is comfortable using a computer, so she tends to stick with what she knows. She also has quite a few games downloaded from the Microsoft Store. When it...
  9. Solved Dell Inspiron 3880 sporadically loses internet connection

    Those commands are on my cheat sheet and I have used them. Along with Network reset. What is puzzling me is why it is happening so frequently and only on this computer, which is the one that my wife uses. She mainly uses it for web surfing and even then only a few specific sites. Sometimes...
  10. Solved Dell Inspiron 3880 sporadically loses internet connection

    I've got a Dell Inspiron 3880 that on occasion cannot connect to the internet either via an ethernet connection (normal) or via Wi-Fi. This problem usually shows up when attempting to open website using the new Edge browser and seeing a message that it is taking too long for the page to respond...
  11. What did you change first?

    Too many rough edges to fit in at OCS (or the wardroom). Passed a kidney stone and ended up on the USS Bainbridge (CGN25). Had a CO there who hated submariners and wrote a special evaluation to keep me from becoming a CPO. It backfired on him big time. 10 were selected that year for EMC, I was...
  12. What did you change first?

    I was enlisted nuclear electricians mate submarines 1973-1993. USS Silversides, SSN 679, USS Trepang, SSN 674(pictured), USS Henry L. Stimson, SSBN 655G, USS Mariano G. Vallejo, SSBN 658G, and USS Daniel Webster, SSBN 626G.
  13. What did you change first?

    I did the same.
  14. Create a single flash drive to boot Win 10 install media, Win 11 media, Macrium recovery media , and more using no 3rd party tools

    One is 64GB and the other is 32GB. I used the extra space to put folders containing program installation files on them as well. What appealed to me was that I was able to use what I already knew how to do (using Diskpart, for example) and what I already had, Macrium, to accomplish this. I'm...
  15. Solved 1 GB Recovery Partition?

    I did a clean install of Windows 11 to cleanup a lot of junk that had accumulated on my computer. After I finished up, the Recovery Partition is now at 593 MB. I guess doing an upgrade using the Upgrade Assistant Tool kept the Windows 10 recovery partition and added the Windows 11 recovery...
