Q: How to install Microsoft Edge browser on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB

I recently got a new machine at work and decided to install Windows 10 Enterprise 'LTSB'. Mostly I like its similarity to Windows 7 and its stability. However, very few organizations even know that LTSB exists. One of the consequences of that is that many web sites are threatening to drop supp...

@allquixotic I've forgotten which re(build|start) script it was :P

you can now login as root directly or as the other user you're currently using

the start script is ~/dev/cron.sh

you can trace that to whatever is the actual start

@allquixotic just used the user under your name, as always

@Run5k For what?

@TOWMN idk, safari is mostly webkit and it's lacking some modern features

but not quite that bad if it wasn't for oracle using an outdated webkit too

Run5k

@Bob I could be off-base, since I am arriving in the middle of the dance, as it were. I saw you mention that you were downloading Firefox, so I thought you might be using one of the Beta flavors.

TOWMN

00:33

Doesn't the Android browser use Webkit? And not suck (much)?

allquixotic

I'm sure if Oracle could get Chromium running as their backend in the JDK for the web browser API, it'd be very good... but raw WebKit is rather bad these days

@TOWMN the "Android Browser" is unmaintained abandonware at this point

@Run5k I use Firefox stable primarily. I use Firefox Aurora and Nightly (and Chrome Canary etc.) at work for dev. I just downloaded a custom branch off Nightly with a patch to enable headless mode to try to run a bot on a headless server.

(probably because I have lots of apps starting when I log in)

@Run5k it's a long story, and you are arriving in the middle of a rather complicated dance that has little to do with web browsing and a lot to do with the bot

Holmium

Holmium is a chemical element with symbol Ho and atomic number 67. Part of the lanthanide series, holmium is a rare earth element. Holmium was discovered by Swedish chemist Per Theodor Cleve. Its oxide was first isolated from rare earth ores in 1878 and the element was named after the city of Stockholm. Elemental holmium is a relatively soft and malleable silvery-white metal. It is too reactive to be found uncombined in nature, but when isolated, is relatively stable in dry air at room temperature. However, it reacts with water and corrodes readily, and will also burn in air when heated. Holmium...

Ah... gotcha. Thanks for the feedback, folks. I have debated using Firefox Dev, so I was just curious.

Bob

I think @bwDraco runs it day-to-day

I'd not recommend it

It's pretty unstable.

bwDraco

Yeah. It's surprisingly stable for me, though.

Then again, you do need to restart it every day for updates.

Bob

For context, it's less stable than Beta, it used to be named Aurora, and it's actually effectively an alpha edition.

TOWMN

@TOWMN Firefox Developer Edition (Aurora).

@Bob Affirmamundo

Alas, I think an earlier reconnaissance google lead me to advice along the lines of "either, as long as you're consistent"

Which is all fine and dandy, but the patch panel didn't give me the option or A or B :P

TOWMN

@bertieb Yup

Or you could make up your own arbitrary random standard

Well not really. certain pairs still have to be paired

But as long as the correct twisted pairs remain paired the order of the pairs in the twisted pair cabling doesn't matter one bit as long as the same pins are connected to the same paired pins on the other end of the paired paired twisted pairs of the connection.

bertieb

@TOWMN Aye, I get what you mean

Although I think you've used your quota of 'twisted' and 'pair[s|ed]' for the day :P

TOWMN

@bertieb My brain is made of twisted pairs

Personally I prefer coax

bertieb

Anyway, it's all seemingly working now

TOWMN

Mainly because I'm an RF geek and coax >> twisted pairs for RF

Why cable up your home when you could wireless up your home and emit enough RF pollution to make the USS Enterprise look like a black hole

And I even nearly made it to Coles :-(

bertieb

@TOWMN I'm not familiar so forgive the ignorance, how well does coax do for home networking? I figure if it's good enough for cable boxes it might be alright, but then why does $everywhere use Cat[5/6/7/π/Ω]?

TOWMN

@bertieb it doesn't, unless your home networking is RF.

Coax does 6Gbps over 6km.

Cat 5 doesn't

Fibre does too, but is not a relevant part of the cat 5 vs coax conversation

So as l33t pr0 gam3rz would say, stfu noob.

Granted the coax has to be powered and needs active repeaters and you could use 60 Ethernet switches on cat 5 but you couldn't power enough Ethernet hubs/switches over the Cat 5 itself especially 10GbE ones

Is there any point in answering old unanswered questions from 2010 if I can come up with a very simple solution?

Journeyman Geek

Yup

Assuming it actually works, sure

@Rahul2001 The OP may not be around, but the Q is still on the site, and it may help someone else in a search later.

@GypsySpellweaver Yes, which is why I'm going to answer it anyway

Gypsy Spellweaver

@Rahul2001 Maybe he still needs that answer.

Just been waiting for some genius to give the answer to "life, the universe, and everything."

morning

djsmiley2k

hey @Burgi

@GypsySpellweaver Oh, and depressed elevators

up and down, down and up, all day long

Gypsy Spellweaver

@djsmiley2k But of course

I think the improbability drive is how I landed on SE as it is.

Burgi

no news on the pentest front...

i suspect that means they haven't found the vector yet

djsmiley2k

welp if they couldn't find anything in the logs ...

maybe it wasn't via something that was logged

(did someone ssh into the server?)

Burgi

its a shared host so...

djsmiley2k

yah

Maybe it was EvilHosters(tm)

Burgi

i find it weird that it was only the single table that was compromised and in a very specific way

the coincidence that it was after we went live with 4LA is just too large to ignore

@Bob I guess this one is the laptop of quality you mentioned recently... It looks great too...

It's gaming oriented mostly though.

I would be happy with 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM and that build quality.
