I used to like Mike and his website and purpose in life. Heck, I was even in the coffee club or water cooler club or whatever you call the small monthly donation club. But then he went full TDS and I gave up on him and his causes.

I'd give you an upvote, but apparently those aren't available to me.

One the the coolest options right now for WFH, if your corporate environment is a Citrix environment, is that Dell Wyse (possibly others, haven't checked) have mobile thin clients. This way you can have company controlled/owned hardware in the home office for the WFH employee, plus MFA for logon. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fen-us%2Fwor...

^^ This times 1000. We used to produce all of our own shit. Sending production of that shit overseas is how we have screwed ourselves.

Last I checked, Microsoft switched up SQL licensing to be per-core as well. That is what my employer had to start paying last renewal. Completely annoying.

There are more than a few cases ongoing, and yes he actually has won some, and some have been won on his behalf by others.

Came to say this.... you beat me to it.

Doesn't look like BleachBit does registry cleaning, though. Am I wrong?

My users wouldn't really need all the other stuff BleachBit does, but the registry cleaning that CCleaner does, does actually solve a problem once in a while.

I actually did have a problem, once, where the registry cleaner in CCleaner solved a problem for me. Someone I was supporting was having weird behavior in this one program. I did everything I could to solve it, down to un-installing the program and deleting the program folder, empty the temp folder, scan for viruses, rebooting, ran chkdsk - the whole of everything I could. And upon re-install, the problem came back. In desperation, I downloaded CCleaner, ran the registry cleaner, and - what do you know? The problem was solved. The problem was the result of bad registry entries left behind by the un-install process.

Now, at work I would like to use CCleaner - but the price for commercial use is ridiculously expensive; and, the whole thing has so much feature creep (bloat) that it's a no-go. I actually did buy a license for myself at home, because they solved the problem for me, and I wanted to throw some money their way for that.

Anyone know of a registry cleaner (only) that is either open source or super inexpensive for commercial use?

I don't think this is nearly the problem you perceive it to be. If I'm in public, I chose to be there.

And for the record, I'm a huge fan of police bodycams.

David Brin has a book about surveillance society - which unfortunately, I never finished reading. But I did get to the part where he makes the point (and I agree with him), that it would be nice if all these cameras were publicly accessible and all accesses were published.

So your daughter goes to play in the park. You access the park cameras, to keep an eye on your daughter. That you accessed the camera should be a matter of public record. If the police have a constant feed on the park, that should be a matter of public record too. If some perv is watching the children in the park, there should be a record of that too.

I'm not terribly worried about the fact of the recording; but I'd like to see more accountability in who does the watching. For police bodycams, I'd like to see more accountability when the office turns the thing off; perhaps having to key some sort of code that says why the camera is being turned off.

Go díreach! Más é do thoil é...
