I have my own methods...

They only work on physical drives, not network shares. This has been documented for a long time and I've personally tested it, always been this way

But on a technical level, why not? I'd ask...

... How could the ransomware open the image without knowing its password first?

Since Macrium no longer supports free users, they won't respond to this question of mine beside their annoying copy-paste answer as to how I have to pay to receive an actual response

So I ask you...

There are applications that don't detail whether you can deploy them silently or not.
Are there solutions that let you "repack" the installer in a way that the app could be deployed silently?
...

Will you do Kaspersky?

OK I"ll ask them

Unless I misunderstoood you, I'm already doing that. I'll be waiting on Synology Support's response. Running it as a scheduled task as the SYSTEM user from inside that local directory on the C Drive...

As NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The only difference here is that this is a local folder instead of a network share, this time. Network share throws that error code/message tho every other "variable" is the...

Yes that's probably why, it doesn't have access because this isn't an AD environment, my Synology NAS doesn't permit me to add my hostname ($COMPUTER) to the list of "people" that can access my share...

I use Synology NAS as my file and app server. I am trying to run a scheduled script as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM but whenever I try it, it fails with error code 0xFFFD0000

Like this,

I'm trying to automate the update of all apps via Winget. I have written the following script:

So you don't know if there are laptops like this or not?

I see, but are you also saying that enterprise-grade laptops' BIOS can be unlocked just like a regular laptop? Like, I could just pull out the CMOS from the workstation and put it back in and I'm...

It does tho. You could boot into something like Hiren Boot CD and erase BitLocker and you just got access to the user account and all their data, file shares, etc.

Perceived? I will argue it's actual, not perceived. Don't you find it scary how someone could just physically get your laptop, remove the CMOS, put it back in and voila, they have access to your...

Problem I have is that if you take out the CMOS, you'll reset the BIOS,clearing the BIOS password. This is insecure.

Are there laptops or MOBOs out there where this won't happen? Do enterprise...

I do indeed use my MS account on this PC:

I have the "Automatically download and install app updates" enabled yet it doesn't do so (in Microsoft Store --> Account --> Settings)

What about firewall?

Discussion, I'm curious

But both of them are not on-demand-only. If you had said HitmanPro for example, I would understand.

I thought you were not in support of 3rd party antiviruses on this board?

Anybody who uses such 'PC performance boosting software' isn't well-versed in computers. These software are all scams.

Not sure if this is a good forum to post this on but I thought I'd ask:

So I'm going to get an Intel NUC and run my OpenSense firewall and router on it.

My LAN is on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet....
