Quantum doesn't work like that guys.... a turbojet engine is not a quantum system so quantum effects do not dominate its behavior.
seriously, stop sprinkling the word quantum around like it's magick pixie dust.....
And the funny part is, of course, if he hadn't done that, no one would have known or cared about some random guy's post about a Tesla event starting late.
clearly, Musk comes from the Jeff Atwood school of interpersonal relations.
I drive by autopilot. last saturday i left the house at 0700 to pick up a quart of milk, and parked at the office twenty minutes later.
the store is five minutes from my house.
How the fuck did we not discover that one?
/me sheepishly raises a hand
i may have tried to create a sockpuppet with the entire text of a novel as its password....
If you can abide by those rules, then welcome! If not, then GTFO.
what if you can abide by the rules but choose not to?
hmm.... if this is the likes thread....
Oy! I think that fits under the "If not" portion.
but i can abide by the rules. I just enjoy not doing so!
Need I remind you who is generating these guids?
/me is waiting for the time when they decide they need a "GUID CDN"

then after Apple got away with it they decided that Professional branded devices only need one USB port for power and data..... and other laptop manufacturers followed suit....
Um, my MacBook Pro has 2x USB-C sockets? (It wasn’t my choice, work bought it. Paltry 8GB RAM is a bigger headache for me.)
I sit corrected on the count of ports.
Lenovo on the other hand had decided the laptop they'd make would only have one USB port..... for reasons......
/shrug ah well, it's wiped and validated and now off my desk and in the hands of someone else making it there problem

But only one USB port. My old laptop that was built when Windows 7 was new has four.
blame Apple. they were "Brave" enough to delete the headphone port on their phones, because who uses headphones anymore?
Not me that's for sure.... I dont' use headphones at all.... :rolling_eyes_so_hard_i_get_a_migraine:

so i had to create a local account
i've been informed that i could have entered audit mode and that would have let me install the drivers i needed.....
i didn't know thataudit mode existed
it's still fucked up that the keyb, trackpad and wifi didnt' work in Win11 OOBE when they did out of the box with the Win10 OOBE
even if i did know it existed the whole one usb port and no on hand hubs would have made it difficult to do anything if the built in keyb and trackpad continued to not work in audit mode....
@Zerosquare my reaction exactly. no idea why the keyb wouldnt' work in the installer.... but it's windoes, by now i'm not surprised.....
Wiping and recycling a laptop this weekend.
had windows 10 on it from factory. had reinstalled windows 10 on it and it had proper trackpad and wireless support from the bare ISO.
secure erased the nvme drive in linux then booted up the windows 11 ISO because it's gonna be supported for longer and the laptop had SIGNIFICANTLY above minimum specs for win11
windows 11 did not have bundled drivers for the keyboard, trackpad and wireless.... menaing that i could not get the laptop online, because it only has one USB port and i needed that for the keyboard to get through the installer and i didnt' have a hub on hand...
so i had to create a local account and windows 11 does NOT want you to do that.....
like at all.
fuuuck that was annoying to do.
got to desktop and the keyboard started working but the resolution was stuck at 800x600 (or there abouts i didn't actually check... but it was tiny resolution), so i could plug in a USB ethernet dongle to get it online for drivers with just keyboard navigation.
first pass of windows update got me...... wifi, but no trackpad and broke USB
Second reboot and windows uupdate got me trackpad and usb back, but broke wifi.
third reboot got me, wifi, usb, and trackpad but no keyboard..... and in consolation prize apparently this laptop has always had a touchscreen but never had the windows 10 drivers for it?
fourth reboot got me a BSOD with impressive graphical corruption. in retrospect i should have taken a picture but i was too annoyed at the process to think to do that.
fifth reboot got me to the desktop after a BIOS update that took three hours and FIFTEEN REBOOTS to apply fully. all devices working and everything.
ran sysprep to remove the temp local user and get it prepared to donate and.... now OOBE has all the drivers and is running at proper resolution.
why did a laptop that had perfect drivers for windows 10 built into the install ISO have so much trouble with windows 11.....
ah well.... i'm once again down to a single windows device..... my work laptop, and i'd swap that for linux in a heartbeat if i was allowed to. but i'm not and i dont' trust it on my network so it goes wifi only on the isolated guest network with access to nothing but the internet and i access it via an IPKVM
but yeah. what the actual fuck windows 11..... how did you make the install process even worse than your OS?
