In this page I noticed that 24H2 is released for final users, but I still on 23H2 22631.4169. When 24H2 will be released? Gatto bianco (talk) 14:32, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Windows 11, version 24H2 and don't trust software from random web pages. 75.136.148.8 (talk) 12:33, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NO software in that page and this is NOT random web page, there are all Windows builds catalog! You have visited the page before comment? Gatto bianco (talk) 17:26, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are misreading the comment. Do you have any clue how many people search "Windows 11 24H2 download" and download fake updates from random websites because they can't wait for the official release? Imagine how many saw your question, thought "Wow! New version of Windows! Let me download it from any link I find online because everyone offering free software on the internet is completely honest and has my best interests in mind!" 75.136.148.8 (talk) 22:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The not so short introduction to LaTeX 2e" tells the reader:

LaTeX supports the use of accents and special characters from many languages. Table 2.2 shows all sorts of accents being applied to the letter o. Naturally other letters work too.

The table shows them constructed via backslashes; so for example \"o produces ö. The same Table 2.2 also obligingly describes how to construct several o-irrelevant characters, such as å. But not all. (As an example, I happen to know something not in the table: \th produces þ.) Yes, the introduction goes on to say that now that "modern TEX engines [speak] UTF-8 natively" this cumbersome way of specifying characters can be avoided. Understood. But all the same I'd like to see a more comprehensive list or table of these recipes for single (Roman or Roman-derived) characters. Though we have an article "Percent-encoding", I can't find "backslash-encoding" here; and googling for this brings numerous pages on irrelevancies (notably how to produce backslashes that are just backslashes). Tips? -- Hoary (talk) 09:38, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List help? --Wrongfilter (talk) 09:53, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blimey, Wrongfilter, I knew that a comprehensive list would be big, but I hadn't imagined that it would be that big. Excellent. This should answer all my questions, plus a few thousand more. -- Hoary (talk) 10:14, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have a file in Downloads that I need to move to a folder used by the relevant app. However samsung's(?) "my files" app doesn't appear able to navigate to that folder.

How do I move the file using the phone itself and WITHOUT using a connected PC? -- 2A00:23CC:D222:4701:9DAE:549F:77B9:C1A3 (talk) 18:39, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you see something called "internal storage"? The folder you want may be in there. If not, a different file manager may help.  Card Zero  (talk) 19:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"My Files" doesn't defaultedly list the desired destination, even though it lists internal storage.. -- SGBailey (talk) 21:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC) (I post logged on on PC and logged off on phone.)[reply]

try Ghost Commander. I can get to /storage/emulated/0/Download through there. Some other open source ones here Komonzia (talk) 00:09, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When Windows automatically encrypts the Windows partition on a laptop drive, my research makes me think it uses Bitlocker by default. Assuming that is true, where is the key it uses to decrypt? Is it elsewhere on the hard drive? Is it in the BIOS? Is it on a device somewhere in the computer? I am thinking of this scenario: A laptop is run over and crushed. The hard drive still works. You put it in another computer to get the files off it. How does Windows know how to unlock the drive? 75.136.148.8 (talk) 18:47, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ask google 69.181.17.113 (talk) 20:06, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems it's stored in the Trusted Platform Module, so in fact Windows wouldn't know how to unlock the drive. Having said that, BitLocker#Encryption_modes mentions some alternatives, such as a USB key, a password, or a recovery key.  Card Zero  (talk) 20:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, am I correct in assuming that you do not want your hard drive to automatically be "bitlockered" because if anything happens to your computer, your files are encrypted and basically lost. 75.136.148.8 (talk) 21:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what the default mode is, but I get the impression that it's usual to opt to keep a recovery key. The 2024 Crowdstrike incident was exacerbated by the difficulty of typing these long keys into herds of machines that wouldn't boot (and thus couldn't unlock themselves).  Card Zero  (talk) 22:13, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen this document? manya (talk) 09:18, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I need to know how I can grab for my own leisurely research the last known full version of a website no longer online but archived at the waybackmachine. I've unfortunately been away from a PC for 6 or 7 years and I'm lost as a fart in a whirlwind. I was last using win7 and now trying to learn 11. Help a techno peasant out? TIA!

Brad101: I find the Wayback Machine browser extensions useful for this. They're listed at https://web.archive.org/ under "Tools". Visiting any website with one of these extensions active will enable searching and visiting archived versions if they are available. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email) 00:26, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no extension for your favourite browser, you

can prepend  https://web.archive.org/*/ to the url of an archived web page. For example, visiting

https://web.archive.org/*/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Computing

allows you to find all archived versions of this page, from August 29, 2006, up to the p[resent.  --Lambiam 14:51, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We haven't had a TV in years and don't want one; instead we view streaming services on computers and Android devices. We are going to renovate a bedroom and would like to watch these services in bed on a wall-mounted monitor. What hardware and type of device makes sense? It couldn't be a touch-screen. I guess we could manage to use a mouse. Could that let us access an on-screen keyboard? Should this be computer-based or Android? We would want to be able to turn it on and off remotely. (We have laptop computers but don't want to involve them for this.) Do I need to provide any further information? Hayttom (talk) 14:47, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, a Smart TV? Perhaps you'd prefer some kind of free software smart TV platform to avoid possible vendor lock-in.  Card Zero  (talk) 15:51, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
