    Windows Bitlocker + Win11 Pro 24H2 edition = Secure Boot is mandatory???

    Yep for office work. Just for reference: Seems like disabling the TPM PCR 4 (platform config register for boot manager) option in group policy editor resolved this issue - fingers crossed. Located in group policy editor -> computer config -> admin templates -> windows components -> bitlocker...

    Windows Bitlocker + Win11 Pro 24H2 edition = Secure Boot is mandatory???

    Yeah it's a middle-ground option... my preferred choice was a cheaper ASUS PRIME PRO variant wasn't available - and the latest X870E variant with fancy stuff like WiFi 7 (320mhz channel width and MLO etc) was even more expensive and also risky for linux compatibility (wifi definitely doesn't...

    Windows Bitlocker + Win11 Pro 24H2 edition = Secure Boot is mandatory???

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    Oh yeah forgot about the PSU... yes it is kind of segregated from the rest of the parts in my case. My current/old CM694 seems to not let the innards get too bad - was surprised to see it pretty clean when I got it serviced after a gap of a year...

    Windows Bitlocker + Win11 Pro 24H2 edition = Secure Boot is mandatory???

    I recently did a fresh install on my new rig with its ASUS ProArt X670E Creator Wifi board and for the life of me I'm unable to get Bitlocker to not keep booting into recovery mode everytime when I disable secure boot in the UEFI settings. My older rig with its ASUS PRIME TRX40 Pro-S and...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    I guess I can look forward to the same fate with my new rig with its Lian Li o11 dynamic rgb case and 10 fans :pespecially the rear isn't a fine mesh has larger holes just inviting dust build up. At least the front and side glass makes it easy to see when it gets bad so I can get it cleaned.

    Linux Gnome GUI Shutdown Prompt

    Instead of gnome-session-quit have you tried something like: dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.PowerOff boolean:true So you can go back to using a systemd service file instead of looping in a script? (assuming...

    Green BIOS/Boot and Pink UEFI boot after upgrade

    Post your details DDR5 info (model, specs, speed) maybe it's just a matter of running the DDR5 at lower clocks.

    Just a heads-up that MSI seems to have some models now available in India :) if their website is to be believed. See https://in.msi.com/Monitors/Products#?tag=MAG-Series - there are many models but I guess just 4 are OLEDs. Flagships like the 32 inch flat 240hz (for about ₹ 1 lakh) and 34 inch...
