The key is stored in the BIOS (UEFI flash chip) - you can install 10 or 11 from the downloaded installers MS offers; as long as the Home or Pro is correct it'll activate just fine.

You can verify the key exists by running

hexdump -C /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

If these things were actually used to increase public safety I'd be all for them. Unfortunately our current system rewards corruption, so that's not the case. Speed and red light cams are never actually used for safety, they're used to extract money from the populace.

This article is about red light cameras rather than speed cameras, but corporations and municipalities (corrupt or just naive) can be trusted to find ways to fuck over the public for profit using the speed cameras too.

As a user of Nextcloud, Aegis, and Vaultwarden, I can say it's a great set of tools. I don't know how I ever got by without Bitwarden/Vaultwarden.

The salad is hanging out of the middle guy's pocket.

(I'm ashamed to say that's from memory... and completely incorrect at that.)

If you have access to an external drive as big or bigger than the laptop drive, boot SystemRescueCD and ddrescue it as a backup, just to be safe. I personally haven't had it actually wipe a drive, basically it's saying switching might render it unbootable if the right drivers aren't in place.

I always back up first just to be safe though, worst case I waste a little time.

I'll be darned, that didn't work for me a few weeks ago - thanks!

Thanks Mr bot, but the intended use of the link precludes using the easily clicked link.
