Really enjoying this game, was some what skeptical of it at first after all the PUBG backlash. After a few hours in its been very addicting and I am enjoying it more than PUBG. Anyone else playing it?

I play it on PC but just the PvE not the PvP battleground. They did a good job with the building aspects and the traps. There are many great video snippets of people doing clever things with the building and trap systems in PvP.
Yeah I have mainly playing the PvE as well but have been slowly getting into the Battle Royale with a friend of mine. Very stressful at times which is what I think I enjoy about that mode the most.

Co-op two player Battle Royale is great fun, really enjoyed this. Did you notice the slowdown following the Meltdown patching of the Fortnite servers?

Some of my friends who I play a different pvp game with have been playing Fortnite a lot lately.
I tried it a few times and was really put off by:
1.) The time to spawn into a solo match, from lobby to airbus, wasn't too bad. But when you end up getting shotgunned by someone a few minutes into the match, while you're holding a pickaxe, a couple of times -- it adds up to a lot of time spent for nothing. No respawn... go through the whole matchmaking process again.
2.) If you play with friends and you die early, you either have to sit through 10-15 minutes of boredom, or split out and go find a solo match.
3.) I really dislike games where the most effective technique to out maneuver someone heads-up, is pogo-stick jumping over and over and over. I get that Fortnite isn't supposed to be hyperrealistic, but still.
4.) Minecraft'ing a wall/fort in the middle of combat is pretty OP. I'd prefer if you could only use the obstacles built into the map for cover.
I haven't played PuBG, but I'm guessing it's more my style.
Otherwise, the graphics and battle royale concept are pretty cool. I'll probably give it another chance, but my initial feeling wasn't very positive.

Microsoft Activation Offline - Not for you guys in secure locations anymore!
With the removal of local account setup for Windows Installer from Win 11 25H2 those of us who work in locations that do not permit connection of device to the "outside world" for security reasons (or just because we don't like the "outside world") are now also unable to activate Windows offline using telephone activation.
That's also no longer available for Office 2024.
With both you can still generate an activation challenge code from your machine, but it seems Microsoft's activation support team can't process it .
If there's anyone around who has a direct line to Redmond? Can they confirm? Otherwise it looks like this is going to be an issue for the "one or two" (I can't confirm numbers for ... well ... reasons ...) secure locations around the world that need to be air-gapped (and not just those locations that are used for <Redacted>).

I would think volume licensing would be the only way to go.

UBUNTU 20.04 TERMINAL COMMANDS USEFULL FOR OPEN5GS
Linux ubuntu commands are a type of Unix command or shell procedure. They are the basic tools used to interact with Linux Open5gs platform on an individual test level. These are used to perform a variety of tasks, including displaying information about ip route files and network status of VM‘s.Example of most usefull commands are as follow;
‘sudo ip ro add default via {gateway_ipv4_address} dev {network_interface_name}’
sudo ip ro add 192.168.111 via 127.0.5
‘ip route show’ Command
Sample session:
default via 172.26.0.1 dev ens5 proto dhcp src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
10.147.164.0/24 dev incusbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.147.164.1
172.26.0.0/20 dev ens5 proto kernel scope link src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
172.26.0.1 dev ens5 proto dhcp scope link src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
172.26.0.2 dev ens5 proto dhcp scope link src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
For External Test Node route Table
‘ip r’ Command
For adding node to list
‘Route –n ‘ Command
For test Statıstıcs
‘mtr -a 192.168.1.66 8.8.8.8’ Command as follows
