Microsoft is trying to convince Windows 10 users to upgrade with full-screen prompts in c/[email protected]

Microsoft has 18 months to convince folks to upgrade.

They'll be lucky if I boot my Windows 10 partition between now and 18 months.

I earnestly wrote a couple of lines, and then a week later they replied that they don't have enough information to decide, at which point I just threw my hands up and decided for them. I don't need that kind of pedantic hoop jumping in my private life.

I don't think that's the case anymore.

I just checked, the time in the UEFI BIOS is in UTC, yet both Linux and Windows 10 display the local time correctly as an offset to UTC. I didn't have to do anything special for that.

Edit:

So I looked a bit deeper into it, and this is apparently controlled by a registry key called RealTimeIsUniversal in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]. You can paste the text below in a .reg file and then import it to set the parameter:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

I confirmed that this setting exists on my system, but I have no memory of ever manually setting this parameter. It's documented in the Arch wiki though, so it's possible that I did set it and forgot about it.

In any case, if you do a fresh Windows install and your time differs between Linux and Windows , this is what you should check.

Should probably also mention that his wife, Telsa Gwynne, was diagnosed with cancer around the time he retired and she sadly passed away in 2015.

What's a good usecase for TPM in Linux?

What is your opinion on men that make use of sex worker services? in c/[email protected]

Perhaps. It's a legal grey area here, not strictly legal but tolerated in certain areas (red light districts), but it's certainly not a socially acceptable thing.

It’s just really hard to believe a women asks if you’ve had sex with a sex worker…

I've been asked that question, and not just one time, so I believe OP that it can sometimes come up.

Going to use Arch on a VM, which should I use? in c/[email protected]

Probably not. There are no implementations that I'm aware of that work well on a Linux guest.

Ok, so you don't know what FUD means.
