  • Did u run across this thread?

    windows answers forum

    This seemed to work for me (I am in a similar situation) but ultimately failed only because (I believe) I have multiple drives and windows tries to incorrectly install on my nvme despite having an efi prepared on an SSD. Seems to be no way to specify the drive for bcdboot. I’m trying again when I have time off. It seems I may need to pull all unnecessary drives to get it on the right one.

    Anyway good luck

    Edit: I assume bcdboot defaults to my nvme in my specific case because after I tried restoring the boot partition:

    • i gave up and I nuked all partitions on my windows ssd.

    • I attempted a clean windows install on the ssd while Linux (with it’s own boot partition) lives on the nvme

    • It creates a new partition layout on the ssd complete with efi parition

    • then it poops its pants without installing anything to the boot partition it just created. Windows completely refuses to install now.



  • I’m not sure why you’re being down voted because you’re right… maybe its just that bit at the end of your reply.

    FTA, large insurance companies are required to insure risky homes if they want to do business in the state at all. Since they can’t use catastrophe models or reinsurance they have to spread the risk over every home they insure in the state. So, people living in risky areas are having the cost of insurance subsidized by people living in less risky areas.

    This creates perverse intensives. Peeps are just going to rebuild in areas with high fire risk… right? Want a big mansion in the woods? No problem! We can just rebuild if it catches on fire! Paid for by the public!

    I don’t know what the answer is, but the insurance companies just aren’t at fault on this one. If you take issue with the increased rates, your problem is with climate change, and a housing system that requires insurance to function (houses are so expensive that we pay with mortgages, which require insurance).

    Lloyd should move.




  • If I stole $62 million dollars (fta, Bilzerian owes this as his original amount), I’d be thrown in jail.

    They’ve let this guy dick around for 31 years and haven’t gotten the public’s money back.

    The USA has extradition with St Kitts and Nevis as far as I can tell. Running away to a tax shelter island (a British commonwealth, for fucks sake) shouldn’t be enough for the USA to shrug it’s sholders and give up.

    The capitalist class plays by different rules. Don’t let them get away with excuses like this.







  • I didn’t check the instance rules

    Mistakes happen, but it is on you.

    I don’t care enough to beg for readmission.

    But you do care enough to type words and words and words somewhere else, no?

    I’m just pointing out that they are being weird

    I politely disagree. What you’re viewing as mechanical censorship is just community curation to them. Part of “power tripping” implies they are abusing power, and I don’t see them preventing you from participating with anything you appreciate. There’s plenty of other AI communities on lemmy.

    In summary, a comic:


  • I think Skiluros is right on the money, but I’m just going to point out something. (Disclamer: I am a regular reader of tech takes and I enjoy their snarky negativity)

    You walked into a hater’s club with a rule of “no debates”, debated the regular posters, and got banned. Is it heavy handed? Maybe, but it is low-effort moderation. I get the feeling if they didn’t moderate similarly to this, they would be able to preserve the vibe of the place (and you are not obligated to like or agree with this vibe). They’re allowed to have their own corner of the internet.

    I think they’d probably reverse it if you asked them to. I base this on the idea that instance bans are easy to hand out, and asking politely for an unban is something most banned people don’t bother to do. I could be wrong.

    I bet they get absolutely flooded with folks who just want to debate instead of joining in on the sneering. It’s gotta be way lower effort to just ban people. It’s not like there’s any large communities on that instance (Look at their local front page: buttcoin, sneerclub, techtakes. All hater’s clubs, many posts months old on “active” setting), so I don’t think they’re doing real harm, either. It’s not like you were instance banned from like, lemmy.world or something.

    There’s plenty of other communities to discuss AI on lemmy. IMHO, you’re just missing the point of techtakes. You don’t have to agree with them, just like they aren’t required to refute your youtube video.
