We have 3 laptops. My work laptop I can't get to Pandora etc so that leaves my wifes former work laptop.

It's a nice Toshiba yada yada. Heres the prob. Even if I want to update Adobe Flash, the Admin box pops up.

Is there a way to hack this junk? :thumbsup:

If its really a former work laptop then just call the tech folks and ask them. If you're not ever putting it in their environment again they shouldn't have a problem giving it to you.

If that's not the case then don't try to circumvent the security of a laptop that doesn't belong to you. Ive had idiots fired over hacking our laptops.

I agree, but if it is a former company laptop your IT folks should have wiped the hard drive and taken company software off of it. They could get in more trouble for doing that, than you resetting a local admin password on a current company password.

There are roughly 100000000000000000000000000000000 tools on the internet that can break a local Windows admin account

Here's one:

Edit: Here's a guide on how to use it because the interface is slightly cryptic. This thing rules though I promise: http://tech.icrontic.com/guides/windows_nt_password_recovery/

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
