I remember Ernest and im not a boomer
Ernest!
Shouldn't we expect something called YOGA to be at least a little flexible?
for god sake i m even a half geek, mine is "better". after one update, my pc is pecfect well few mins ago, after update, mcsoft lock my D and E disk, but C(system disk). so i still can open my pc but cant access D and E which have my majority content like exe in my pc… then i konw my account and my bitlocker password, i try to unlock and they say this password doesnt work holyshit i m sure my fking password is correct. now i m trying to restore my windows system
Hey man. Just thought I'd say your vids are great, cheers 👍🏽
That’s why I disable it…. BitLocker bit me in the 🫏 updating Windows 11 from 21H2 to 23H2 on a Surface Pro 3… This is why I firmly believe as a fellow tech enthusiast… that Microsoft’s days are numbered as far as Windows is concerned.
And this is why I moved to Linux and have not looked back, and my mom's computer is set up on Linux mint. She has had no software issues since I did that. Only MS machine I have is my game machine.
hahaha bro u are the best
It should just be something in the out of the box experience
Just somthing like:
"Do you want to encrypt your computer. It is more secure, but may piss off repair people if you break your computer"
2:15 this alienware needs an oil change
Remember kids, turn of bitlocker or else you you’ll lose your Minecraft worlds and Roblox account with a highly forgettable password
the greatest technicain in my heart thats ever lived❤❤
And for those that work at an SMB we are running scripts to turn off and identify those that have bit locker on, decrypt and turn that shit off until the next round of updates turns that shit back on. Fuck Microsoft for their opt the fuck in shit. Back in my day…. ya, operating systems were just that, they operated your hard ware, just like your mom. Now they give you a reach around every chance they get.
Why does my pc just randomly restart
All facts. Bitlocker is the Bain of pc repair, if the key is not known. I'll tell customers up front, if they cannot get the key, data will be unrecoverable.
"'Merica" "it's fucking Korean"😂
I use a hardware key. If I were to ever bring my computer into a shop, I'd for sure give them the key to actually work on the computer.
You can put the old motherboard if you can bypass the bitlocker screen and backup the key to a usb drive.
Lupe os kinda hot with long black hair…
No homo tho
I'm not sure what bit locker is, but are you maybe able to put the drive in another computer with linux and talk to the customer to see what files are necessary to save and copy them over, then wipe the Windows and reinstall without Bitlocker?
last year my laptop got bitlocker i couldnt use it for like 3monthes then i reinstalled win 11 a lot of things gone( ˘︹˘ )
Ernest was awesome!
I remember when this job used to be fun….
Prometheus and Bob shout out? Alright. I'm in.
One thing in always do for my customers that buy used laptops from me or come in for software installation on a used laptop that they were probably gifted is a clean install of windows on the laptop to remove bitlocker if it's already on it, saves me the stress and time of having to deal with it later if I ever have to do a repair on the laptop
I helped a friend's computer on a separate issue only to realize it was also BitLocker encrypted and he had zero idea what it was. The recovery screen is automatically triggered upon restarting the device. All his data was lost. I turn a good deed into a bad one. Fuck Microsoft.
tfw ur in IT in order not 2 talk 2 ppl
This guy is the world's funniest and the greatest technician ever.
Bitlocker and iCloud lock are worst things you can encounter. Icloud lock locks your device and renders it unusable, bitlocker locks your data and render them unreachable.
Fun fact: Bitlocker is the reason why CrowdStrike hit as hard as it did. Instead of just booting another OS and deleting the stupid file that broke your server you now have to get the recovery key from Azure or whatever to decrypt the boot volume.
I disagree with you. Everyone's PC storage, whether they want it or not, should be encrypted. Encryption needs to be normal. If it's not normal it turns into a question of "what do you have to hide?" and you are treated with suspicion, just for doing basic computer security that is meant to prevent anyone from accessing your data.
The problem is a different one: That it happens without the user knowing or paying attention. And that Microsoft in their infinite wisdom copies the recovery key to their online servers where the encryption key can then become a subject of a subpoena or warrant, without the user's consent or knowledge. That makes the encryption useless, because the promise of "nobody but the end user has access" is immediately broken when someone else has the key.
This should be handled much differently: Encryption should be on by default on every computer, when the user initially sets up their computer (and this part should always be done by the end user and not a technician!) and creates their user account, they should be prompted to print or write down their recovery key or burn it to a CD and not be able to use the computer without completing this step. They should also be told, that they will need it, if the computer ever needs a repair and that they should store it in a secure location and never share it with anyone, in a manner that they can understand and where this leads them to follow the instructions. Repair technicians and system builders should not go past the Windows OOBE for their customers and create their user accounts, either. The only place where this is acceptable is organizations and enterprise, where the systems are used by multiple people, each with their own credentials, and an IT department manages them for all employees.
In this case, you as the technician who needs to perform tests can boot off of a USB drive or swap the internal storage (unless it's soldered, hi Apple) to run your test programs and can leave the end user's system untouched. Unless they specifically asked you to do something there (and have provided their credentials to let you) you can call it good, if the hardware is working properly again. 🙂
I can’t say exactly how many times I watched Earnest Goes To Camp, but it’s over 100 times. 😊
Wow. I thought you rolled with the chair to check the monitor model number. But no, you moved it aside and walked on your knees?! 🙂 Or is that table is high!?! :)))) Nive vid mate. 🙂
Had to get a new lapptop somewhat recently and the first few things I did was install winaerotweaker to turn off all the ads and telemetry stuff and disable bitlocker because I don't want my laptop's data to vanish into the aether when my laptop inevitably dies (I want a framework but can't afford it) and I've never felt more safe knowing my data wasn't encrypted because at least I knew it was recoverable. I'm also currently working on building a machine to homelab on and one of my interests is self-hosting a backup service for my laptop and main desktop so I'll have a place to pull images from if I need them and I'm pretty excited about it
And this is why the windows 10 and 11 ISOs that I have are older builds
I don't mind doing a overnight download (on DSL) but at least I can avoid that bullshit
local account all the way, fuck m$
This shit should be illegal imo
Every other OS recommends you encrypt the drive or does it for you by default, so this is a great feature, but at the same time when something goes wrong, the technicians are stuck with figuring out how to make it work
This is like watching a much more realistic Clerks.
Since hearing Microsoft will be forcing Bitlocker onto people in 24H2, I will have to keep checking my parents laptops every time I visit to be sure to turn it off before this shit happens.!
"I don't need soap"
No! Bad Lupe!!
Lupe lookin like buff Kat Williams with that hair
i know the person that owns the laptop at 10:03
Im a computer science student and i too dont have a fucking clue what bitlocker is
I love ur videos bro
