I literally just wrote out how it works and you are repeating it back like it's new information ๐Ÿ˜†

I know exactly how it works. I use it every day. I never said it isnt easy. I said it's more steps to set it up.

Rufus: run exe, pick iso, run it

Ventoy: run exe to install it, run it to configure the drive, copy ISOs over to the drive

For setting up a drive that's going to be used repeatedly and continually changing what's on it, Ventoy is the superior tool.

For a one time use to quickly get a ISO over to a USB... Rufus is quicker and gets the job done.

...and again...OP already has Rufus in hand. There's no reason to get another piece of software that doesn't offer any advantage to OP's task.

Ventoy is great, but....

  1. It takes a few more steps to setup than Rufus, and you still have to set the right boot mode

  2. The tool OP already has should work so there's no need to send him to download another piece of software if he can complete the task with what he has.

UNetbootin stopped being useful a long time ago. Rufus is OK as long as you set it up right.

Partition scheme: MBR

Target system: BIOS or UEFI

File system:FAT32

Then in the BIOs setting on the HP go to advanced and set "Legacy Support Enabled". Save and exit.

Smash the F9 key repeatedly during boot to pull up the boot menu. You should see your USB device listed to pick and boot from.

Tread pattern looks more like BF Goodrich.

If this lets you monitor the patch status of the end clients in your org, then it's actually cheaper than existing solutions used for managing regular Windows updates.

The only questionable part is how reliable, trustworthy, and secure is 0patch themselves?

Allowing a third party access to patch system level files opens the risk of a rootkit install. (In fact their agent being able to access system would function much like a rootkit itself).

They could easily backdoor something into thousands, or even tens of thousands of PC very quickly. Make a huge botnet, steal data, etc, etc.

Assuming they are trustworthy themselves, if their security is compromised, either from hackers or even a rogue employee, the same results could happen and could take a long time to discover.

Fuck EA.

Yet another example of a situation where if a company refuses to maintain an IP they should have to give it up.

Tech sites say that it's officially licenses by Steam, and it has the Steam logo on it.

Either they have Valve's blessing on it, or Valve's legal team is fuckin sleeping.

Saw a post today with the new "official" Steam Controller. It's trash. None of the features that made the first one cool. Doesn't even have rumble.
