I have not seen banks using thermal paper here. Maybe the cash machines 
on the wall, but I don't think so.

The self-service machines inside the bank which can scan a bunch of 
cheques into your account prints mini copies of them on thermal roll, 
along with the OCR'ed values (wrong about 10% of the time)

We only have bank cheques, guaranteed by the bank. Used for things like 
purchasing a house.

Australian Banks stopped cheques about 18 months ago. Previously I had 
been giving Nieces/Nephew cheques for Christmas. Last year it was EFT or 
nothing .... well, I guess I could have given bundles of Notes but went 
the safe way.

Permanent ink on permanent paper is more physical & tangible than a 
computer screen of numbers and letters. :)

No. Not interested in them personally and at home. Not sure about 
companies in Hong Kong.

Open powershell application, type following commads one by one

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI kek).bytes) 
-match ‘Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023’)

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) 
-match ‘Windows UEFI CA 2023’)

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) 
-match ‘Microsoft UEFI CA 2023’)

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) 
-match ‘Microsoft option rom UEFI CA 2023’)


Varied results on 3 different devices and atm not entirely what I expected.
All devices updated through June 2026 with latest cumulative, WinRE, SSU 
and avaialble 2023 certs.

Win10 Pro 22H2 ESU (Asus 4th Gen Intel i7-4770 Z87 Sabertooth, 16 GB 
RAM, 1 TB SSD, 4 TB HD)
True for all items - Windows UEFI CA 2023, Microsof UEFI CA 2023, Option 
Rom UEFI CA 2023, KEK 2K CA 2023.

Win11 Pro 25H2 (Acer 8th Gen Intel i7-8550, 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 1 TB HD)
True for Windows UEFI CA 2023, Microsof UEFI CA 2023, Option Rom UEFI CA 
2023; False for KEK 2K CA 2023

Surface 3 Win10 Pro 22H2 ESU (Intel Atom x7-Z8700, Quad-Core SoC Cherry 
Trail, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB M.2 SSD, 128 GB SDXC)
True for - Windows UEFI CA 2023, Microsoft option rom UEFI CA 2023, 
Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023; False for Microsoft UEFI CA 2023

The KEK was 'True' for both Surface and Asus Win10 Pro 22H2 ESU
  - the KEK as True for the Win10 Pro ESU on the Surface was the 
unexpected result (2015 era device)
  - the KEK as False for Win11 Pro on the Acer was interesting because 
it was released 2 yrs later(2017) than the Surface 3(2015) and 4 yrs 
later than the ASUS(2013)

Once I'd run powershell with admin. privileges, and ensured the commands
(including the "-match ...") part were all on one line, I got

True
True
True
True

Is that good, bad, or indifferent? (Windows 10-64 22H2 19045.7417)

Isn't that a pretty OLD version of windows?

It's so old that a lot of your concerns don't even make sense.

If it's an old OS, you're fixing it up enough so that it
does not stop booting (only if running with Secure Boot enabled).

It's not an old OS if the ESU is enabled, as it is getting security updates
until the end of the year.

The machine I was cleaning up is a gutless spare computer (22 watts). You can install
OSes on it, without using Rufus. One of its problems, is the iGPU in it
doesn't drive the LCD monitor properly at BIOS level, so the machine
sits in the corner waiting for a "Bargain GPU". Once the OS driver loads,
the screen works. The computer case will not accept two-slot or wider video
cards (unless I do some metalwork on it).

The RAM in the machine is worth keeping, so I could replace the other
bits with something more power-hungry. It's got some DDR4 from when RAM
was (relatively) cheap.

A place unlikely for any Windows 11 or 10 devices at 7C/44F or lower.

No.

3270 terminal emulation is available since MS-DOS days. You needed a 
3270 adapter to do it, and relevant software of course. Nowadays, I 
believe IBM mainframes can bridge with TCP/IP and run 3270 terminal 
emulation on top of it. The same should go to IBM AS/400.

You missed the point or didn't understand the concept.

Few Windows 11 or 10 devices are present on mainframe servers(an 
unlikely place for Windows 11/10 devices). Windows 11/10 devices are 
external to mainframe environment and acting as endpoint for mainframe 
management.

Enterprise admins are not jumping through hoops to use 3270 emulation.

Those 3270 emulators are becoming dinosaurs, less secure in protecting 
business or risk.  For some time, the two-tier web-based alternatives 
that provide better security, compliance, better overall practices for 
end-end encryption, PassTicket, Name Assignment, MFA/SSO integration, 
simplified maintenance, lower effort(cost, manpower), updates, user 
experience.

Sorry... sorry... I failed to comprehend "7C/44F" as temperature 
readings. I now humblely appologize:

BANG!!! BANG!!! (shot my hair!)

Sorry!! :)

Why not place some Windows machines inside a computer room if they can 
run terminal emulation? I think operator consoles of IBM mainframes are 
still 3270????

> Enterprise admins are not jumping through hoops to use 3270 emulation.

Which is strange!! There is nothing wrong about 3270, VT-100 and ANSI. 
To secure these old protocols, just box or wrap them with a security 
shield???

BTW, IBM mainframes (and AS/400 possibly) have communication controllers 
with security built-in.

What made modern LAN and Wifi adapters/USB dongles more secured?  :)
