Hi All

Until now the Telegram couldn’t really be used by heimishe people as the app allows to search publich groups and channels which contain very dirty content sometimes.
Now some jewish developer has developed a telegram client which doesn’t allow to search publich channels and groups. The app is available for Android users only at the moment and can be found here.
Feel free to try out and report any feedback to the developer!

Thanks for reading!

Here is a Riddle which I found in a forum of some cool IT Pros. Lets see who can solve the riddle!!

@Volvo I made sort of my own solution, but I’m not sure if that will suit you… The solution is as follows:

1. I rceated a firewall rule in the windows firewall for in and out-bound traffic and blocked the following .exe file:
   “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_12007.1001.2.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WinStore.App.exe”

2. I named both firewall rules (inbound and outbound) “Windows Store”.

3. Once those rules were in place, I tested them to see whether the microsoft store still connects to the internet. (Be aware it might open up and show you the cached pictures, but the second you will try to choose a certain app, you won’t be able to reach it if the firewall rule works correctly).

4. Then to make it for the user easy I wrote two tiny scripts:

a)

Disable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Windows Store"

b)

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Windows Store"

Script a) disables the firewall rule that we created beforehand and allows again internet traffic to the windows store. Script b) does the opposite.

Each srcipt is placed in a .ps1 file. Now to make it user friendly I created a shortcut to the desktop. To create the shortcut follow these stepps:

1. Right click on the desktop and and select from the dropdown “New” and then “Shortcut”.
2. Paste to the shortcut target box the following:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "the path to the .ps1 file, for example C:\users\admin\documents\WS.ps1"

The path to the .ps1 file must be in double quotes.

So you create two shortcuts, each one to the right script and give them an icon that makes it understanable which one enables the firewall rule (and through that disables the store) and which one disables the firewall rule (and through that enables the store again).

Make sure that those shortcuts automatically run as a admin by right clicking on the shortcut>select properties>advanced> and tick run as admin as shown:

In my case I placed the scripts in a folder which wasn’t accessible for the other standard users and put the shortcuts on the Admin desktop.

Hope this helps.

LMK if you need any assistance…

This can be very helpful to many IT technicians which deal many times with older machines which cannot be repaired but some times you still need to be able to bootup the HDD with that particular PC because of driver issues etc.
I found that there is a Windows To Go option which is quite cool in general as you can literally have your work in your pocket… But even more then that you can convert a existing installation (only from Windows 7 upwoards) to a Windows to go installation which basically means that it will install any necessary driver when detecting the hardware.
I found these instructions here.
Does anyone have experience with that?
Also what tools are recommended to use for a Windows To Go installation?
Answers are greatly appreciated!

@TechWiz I’ve been a user of Revolut for quite a while and I recently got a notification that they launched in the US. It’s amazing what they offer! One down side to it is, that for privat users (which are for free) you can only do stuff on their iOS or Android app (no windows or browser app). For bsuiness clients you can manage stuff via via browser but that type of account isn’t for free.

@Chaim-Hirsch and @Master I’m struggling to connect to the forum from my home network which is located in the UK. All my devices which are connected to that network struggle to connect to shutfim.com.
I connected now via a VPN in the US which solved the issue.
Other devices which get their internet via mobile data, can access it no problem.
I changed the DNS, but that didn’t solve the issue. Is there some sort of blockage from a certain IP in place, or is someone trying to kick me out?

Hi Everyone

The following question is quite tricky and I haven’t found a active solution yet online for it.
I’ve got a Lenovo laptop which comes preinstalled with windows 10 Home in S mode. The Windows is activated with a digital license key in the BIOS.
To switch out of S mode there is a straightforward way to do it via the store. However for some reasons I had to use the reset functions of Windows and got rid of all the files and of the “first installation”. Obviously after the reset windows 10 is back in S mode (the info is inside the license key in the BIOS which doesn’t change unless you switched to another windows edition license). However to my big surprise the Microsoft store was gone which means that there is no way to switch out of the s mode unless you format and completely reinstall windows… Most of the solutions to get the store back work through powershell which is not supported on windows 10 s mode. I reinstalled windows on there which fixed the issue. But the question is: any ideas how to bypass s mode not through the store? There used to be ways through the registry but ms patched these holes. Any ideas where the s mode info is stored and can be modified let’s say through a live boot system? Any answers are greatly appreciated!

Just an update on the previous post:
I exchanged the sony headphones for the jabra ones.
The Jabra Elite 85h are not bad, however they have a few cons compared to the sony ones:

1. They are not as comfortable as the sony ones. If you look at the way they’re built, you will understand what I mean…
2. Their noise cancelling as well as their sound quality is nothing to compare to the sony ones

But there are some pros to the jabra ones, which makes the decision really hard…

1. The are Bluetooth 5 compared to sony which are BT 4.2
2. The connection range of the jabra ones are much better
3. The jabra ones support two devices connected simultaniously which the sony don’t support…
4. The Jabra headphones have top quality mics, which give an amazing call quality experience… I went on a walk yesterday and I spoke to someone for about half hour and it was a noisy main road, but the call quality was amazing (I used a kosher Nokia 2720 4g Flip phone)
5. The jabra modell has better battery life then the sony (Jabra 36h vs Sony 30h)
6. The Jabra ones come with solid buttons to control calls and music vs sony that uses a very useless touchpad…

All in all it really depends what you’re going to use them for… I personally decided to move back to Sony as I don’t really care so much about the battery life, simultanious connection and BT version… However the sound quality is a concern and the call quality is definitely something to consider… The button controls is also something to think about…

I hope it helps someone at least, as I really couldn’t make my mind up so I had to test both of them side by side…

Ok no problem… We will create a Macro with DLL injections… I dont need to go that far… I just wanna know in what part of the digital license key the info of the S mode is saved. What I mean is that when you reinstall Windows it automatically switches to S mode and even when you lets say upgrade to Pro it only changes that part of the license key which tells if its home or Pro. It still doesnt switch out of S mode! I testes and tried all that… If I can boot something up that might help I`d already be happy… Maybe passscape…
