I create PDFs all the time and decided to test...

I've read Cloudflare's blog and their damage limitation. Let me quote Troy Hunt of Microsoft:


"Firstly, Cloudflare serves an almost unfathomably large amount of traffic. I wrote a course on...

You're misunderstanding the principal issue at play here. You simply cannot find "obvious critical problems" (note the plural) in Linux because it's open source. More on that later.

It sounds like a ridiculous question - how to store files so nobody can tamper with them - but let me state the obvious:

Even better use BitLocker if you have it and create a virtual drive. When you need your work files you double click an icon, type in your password and all your work folders will appear. Once you've...

Because it's a personal computer I'm not using a CAC. But the way CACs work is by authorising you against the central domain, which is effectively what I'm doing anyway (because I'm not on a...

I'm familiar with the attrib command but it does not help in this situation. The certificates are not accessible, as far as I can tell, via DOS. It's been locked by the OS and I need to unlock it....
