@Jaredwi29690890 @facebook @Meta No, and anyone claiming that they can help you is lying and scamming you.

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

Dear @facebook @Meta, your account recovery systems are broken and don't work, and haven't worked for 4+ years. My father got locked out of his account, and now my mother has been locked out of her account with two factor authentication. The code and links you send to emails and phones don't work. Can you please fix this? Oh, @elonmusk, get ready, a ton of bots are gonna respond to this saying that they can fix this issue for me in hopes I give them personal information.

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

@litleboy78 @facebook @Meta Well, the whole point of those is that they are scams.

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

Placing hurdles is a science. It requires precision and coordination. #Paris2024 #athletics #Mens110

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

@MissouriSon No. There is nothing you can do. All I can recommend is to make a new account and use 2 Factor Authentication (no SMS). If someone is telling you they can help, you are just getting scammed again.

@WillFaucherVFX I recommend running this script: https://t.co/fuQOYRB2it. It gets rid of the Bing search and only searches your local computer, which makes it instantaneous, amongst other helpful things.

One of the perks of being a teacher is that I get two and a half months off of work. This summer, I decided to back up my parent's photo albums and video tapes. So far, I have processed 299,606 photos on my server along with 595 hours of video. I now have 1 TB of photos and 797.3GB of videos. I have documented what I have done at https://t.co/TJfHkAnNvd if anyone is also wanting to do the same!

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

Microsoft has indeed stepped up their game! My mother just purchased the new Windows Surface Pro and is slightly disappointed that they don't have support for things like Google Drive and other firmware connectivity with printers, scanners, etc.

How has your experience been with areas such as this or are you using Microsoft 365?

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

@HowLao This is by far my favorite!

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

Earlier this year, I wanted to start hosting my pictures, videos, and music on own server and decided to setup what many call a "Media Server".

I have learned a lot in doing so and have documented my experience and how mine is setup. For those looking for a quick guide on how to do so, I highly recommend checking out https://t.co/dDOI7YKAqj

I hope it can help at least one person. It sure was a lot of headaches but I use my server every single day and highly recommend it!

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

@BrandonButch I have two rotation lock buttons on it because of muscle memory. If I only have one, it doesn’t appear in the right place in landscape.

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

@TheBobPony Oh! Also try to add the Google Drive Windows program. @Google supports Arm devices very well! /s

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

@TheBobPony Try to add a printer that was made prior to 2020!

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

Why does Microsoft keep naming things like this? Does the new Outlook even have all the features of the old one? Or will it be like the UWP OneNote app?

I share Microsoft’s strategy of naming software as a case study in my computer science classes every year. An example of what not to do. It just confuses customers.

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

@HPSupport Thank you. I know that Windows Arm Processors are fairly new (and not too widespread). Somewhat frustrating that @Windows keeps making major decisions and assumes that everyone will follow. Meanwhile, everyone is still making win32 apps 😂

[Travis Menghini @MenghiniTravis]

Another disaster for Windows Arm Processors. Apparently there is a compatibility mode for software, but nothing for hardware, which includes Printer Drivers. If you buy a @Windows 11 ARM computer such as the Surface Pro, you will not be able to print on any printer prior to 2024. This includes @HP printers @HPSupport @tomwarren
