I hope you enjoy not being able to use the Ctrl-Alt-Delete menu to reset your password, because bypassing OOBE breaks that functionality.

Could you back this up? I did lots of unattended install without having to fill OOBE, and the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu always worked.

I'd recommend creating a sysprep answer file (with LLM's its pretty easy, also rufus can do it) instead of the trick mentioned above.

I've used this tool with great success for both W10/11 to do unattended installs instead of asking an LLM: https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/

The difficult part isn't rendering the UI, it's the work that's done between the UI and the back end components/services that's difficult. PHP is used for more than just web pages.

But that glue is pretty straightforward and you only have to convert one page at a time.

I don’t think you ever went through something like this ever.

It is a huge effort even migrating from one PHP framework to another.

Coming back to your point, there is no single “page” to be migrated one at a time.

It's just the configuration pages. It's not the core of the product and doesn't need to be a perfect clone.

Is there a reason one URL at a time wouldn't work?

My last comment on this: it is not "one URL" or "just configuration pages", it is an entire application, it does not have distinct "pages" that can be replaced with something written in a different programming language.

You can always take a look at the UI of a PAN device and use your browser in developer mode to see how it works and understand the concept of a web application.

I do not have a PAN device.

I never implied it was.

Those are usually written in javascript and the client part could stay the same. If anything that kind of design makes it easier to replace the backend one URL at a time becasue the responses from the backend are simpler.

If they have something where the UI state is kept on the server and is relayed to the browser, that would be difficult to do anything with. But that's an especially terrible design that causes other problems, so if you're accusing them of having a design that bad please be explicit.

I'd say it's sardonic, rather than sarcastic.

Yes, that's what I was going for

In the 90s my mother went through three back surgeries due to problems she was experiencing, but it turned out she had MS and that was the source of her problems. She had terrible doctors.

Because the app tracks every movement, every scroll and tap, how long you look at things, and reports back with data on all of your activity.

You'd think this would only amount to what a couple dozen lines of text log per session showing the clicks and look times on different frames.

I also read it as Tailscale at first and couldn't figure out why Shopify would want to buy them.

Absurd indeed. Apache httpd server got MPM support two years before nginx was released.

lol. Apache mpm event was released a year after Nginx and was horrible and only became stable in 2012, about 8 years after Nginx was released.

If something can be abused, especially with little to no accountability, it will be abused.
