The Linux distribution I use is Arch. (I don't think it makes much of a difference for this problem, but I'm specifying it just in case.) I installed Howdy and I love it. It works perfectly for console apps and commands. For example: % sudo touch file Attempting facial authentication Identified face as username Great! But if the prompt for password comes from a GUI program, I get this: This is what happens if I try to enter the command pkexec: % pkexec Error executing command as another user: Not authorized This incident has been reported.

I'm trying to connect from a Windows 11 PC to a printer on a Windows 10 PC (sharing of the printer on the remote PC is activated and I also checked the security tab for the printer on the remote machine). When I connect to the remote PC via IP (`\\192.168.1.1`) or hostname ("\\win10client"), it asks for the credentials. I'm using `.\admin` (a local user set up on the remote system), which works fine. I can access all shared files/folders. But when I try to use the "Connect..." option from the context menu of the printer, it asks for new credentials. It doesn't accept `.\admin` as a username for the printer and using something the IP or host name as the domain `win10client\admin` gives me an error messages "Credentials Supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials... Do you really want to override the existing credentials?" and "Credentials supplied are not sufficient to access this printer. Do you want to specify new credentials?&quo

I have a work PC with Windows 11, where I am logged in with a work account, and a Windows 11 work laptop. I would like to connect to the PC via OpenSSH to deploy some code for local testing. So, I set up OpenSSH on the PC by following this support article. However, when I try to connect to the PC from the laptop with ssh domain\[email protected], OpenSSH first asks me whether I trust the machine. Then, when I confirm, the command line blocks a few seconds and finally prints: Connection reset by 10.x.y.z port 22 OpenSSH within WSL shows the same behavior. Same happens when I use an SSH key to connect. When I leave out the user part and only connect with ssh 10.x.y.z, it asks me for the password of user, but rejects it immedia

I have a default Ubuntu installation used as a single-user system. It is not physically accessible to untrusted individuals. The machine is connected to the Internet, but no remote login services such as sshd are installed (default configuration). It becomes tempting to use a simple login password, or indeed completely disabling it. I understand that this is bad practice, but what specific security vulnerabilities or attack vectors are introduced by completely disabling the local login password? In particular, are there realistic remote or local privilege-escalation risks that depend on the presence of a user password? For reference, below is a bash script that performs this configuration (first allowing the user to sudo without password) #!/usr/bin/env bash USER="${SUDO_USER:-$(whoami)}" echo "$USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" > "/etc/sudoers.d/$USER" chmod 0440 "/etc/sudoers.d/$U

When I try to change anything in the startup timing menu it won't let me. Every other setting can be changed and there is no obvious settings lock.

Current arnndn filter situation In this question/answer, we see that an AI RNN model can be used in ffmpeg to remove background noise from audio. Some model(s) trained in 2018 were provided by Gregor Richards here. In 2026, I didn't find updates or variants of these models.

In 2018, Gregor made a few changes to the RNNoise software (he called it

I have a bad habit of ignoring reminders, but there was a time I had automatic shutdown active and the warning it sent was super effective at breaking my focus. The problem is I don't know how to trigger just that style of warning on its own, as you only get one alert per shutdown command and I would like to use them as reminder popups. I need something that pulls focus, and requires me to stop and interact with it to be able to close it, not just click off. I've tried finding apps that do this but everything I find tries to be non-intrusive. I've also tried to find ways to access the specific pop up type that the shutdown reminder is, but I can't seem to find any information on it specifically. I'm very new to using things like task scheduler so I'm certain I'm just missing an odvious solution, so any help would be appreciated.

I recently purchased a new computer, which was installed with Windows 11. The default photo editor for Windows 11 seems to be MS Paint, which is horribly user unfriendly and does not seem to have many of the features I need. I downloaded and installed Paint 3D instead. I can search for Paint 3D using the Windows search bar, open and use it as expected. It exists in the applications folder as well. However, every time I need to open it manually. I cannot seem to figure out how to open existing files with paint3d. Normally I would expect to "open with" and then simply select Paint 3D/set it as my default. Paint 3D does not show in this list at all. Again, it exists on my PC and I can open it manually, just not from the PNGs. As you can see I tried a few files, none of which worked.

I was running out of space on my OS drive, so I followed the instructions at this answer, by copying the files to another drive, then replacing C:\Users with a <JUNCTION> pointing to the location on the new drive. Everything seemed to work fine, until I noticed that every file in OneDrive is now empty. All the files are still there, they just are all now zero bytes. In the web UI, it shows an edit to each file at the time that I made the change. I know I can restore each file individually, but there are 975 files, and I'd rather eat rocks than spend a day clicking through 975 files to restore them one at a time. OneDrive has a help page for restoring OneDrive to a previous time, but this option is not available because, as that page notes, I mu
