@Nic When are you here then??

@Dashrender said in Windows VM in the cloud:

I do realize that, but if the system works on LInux, it will probably work anywhere. 😉

That's not solid logic. Lots of things run on Linux but not in a browser.

One of docs is considering the x360...

Nice! I'll be having a go with this!

@IRJ said in Viewing PDF Files on an Android Mobile Browser:

webView.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=" + "url of pdf file");

That prompts any URL to open using google docs viewer which works great in chrome mobile browser.

Is that ASP.NET code or classic ASP? Our pages are classic ASP.

After some great advice from you folks, we are going to be very disciplined about the fact that you don't just throw something like this into production. A lot of planning hours will go into it. (HP c7000 enclosure with a couple servers and flexconnect gear). Thanks all!

If you're in a curious mood split apart the laptop batteries and play with the 18650s inside. I highly recommend you read about them first, but damn are they awesome fun.

Just confirmed this works on Ubuntu as well. I imagine that means Mint would also work, but have not confirmed Mint yet, and probably will not as the only installs of that I have are workstations that don't require quite the same level of monitoring.

@guyinpv said in Zentyal 5.0 release in November:

I guess you're right, don't even need Zentyal at this point, lol. But I refuse to not have some kind of GUI/interface to manage my Linux services. I have WAY too much to do in my day to be farting around with command lines when I have work to get done.

Based on the same needs to save time, I refuse to have the GUI 😉 Same reason I don't have a GUI on Windows.

You're on crack, and many other things. Never speak to me again.

Everything is so fast. I can often get tasks done before other team members get a GUI up and running to look for what they need. Often I can do my CLI task without even logging in, just issue the command remotely.

@scottalanmiller said in Microsoft Event:

@garak0410 ah, as a consumer customer, not as a business customer. I see.

Right...in our business, I am digging them. 🙂

Yeah, that's a really awesome feature.

I would but it's a customer machine so off to MS to get fixed it goes.

I still like the sledgehammer option

Frisbee?

@RamblingBiped said in Disable folder redirection for specific users:

The laptops are used for development and they need to have full control over the systems.  Also, the user is the CEO.

even more reasons why he shouldn't have those rights. Dev's should be forced to program in a locked down environment to ensure they write code that WORKS in a locked down environment. LOL

Yeah I know.. it might not really work that way, I have no clue.. just sayin' is all.

I don't know if this is the right way (but I've found a few articles that do it this way online as well) but I create a user called xzy calendar. I then give access to that calendar to everyone who needs it. tada - all uses have access to the calendar in Outlook.

Cached credentials baby.

Control Panel > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials > deletedeletedelete

Wow. Ok. That's, erm, just let us never talk about this again. Totally forgot this one 😉

yeah I've seen this before, but not for a logon to the computer problem.

@StrongBad said in Query OneDrive:

Awesome, thank you very much. That's what I was looking for.

I am lucky to get 3 people in Rochester (and 2 of them are Art and I). The third is @DustinB3403 😛

Syracuse can get up to like 20 on a good night

I haven't been able to make it to Syracuse in a long time. I'll try for the next one.

Next one is tomorrow night @ AT Whalley in Auburn 🙂 Though I will not be there.

Hah... nope can't make that one.

Now you are just getting silly.

@thwr said in storvsp.sys - Hyper V question:

But, TBH, do we have such a List for GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOS?

MacOS, no. Proprietary and gone since the 1990s.
Mac OSX, no. Proprietary and not that documented.

my bad

Linux and BSD, yes, because open source is natively documented by definition.

For the most part, yes. Just a little example: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/w1/slaves/w1_therm

Could you tell from just looking at this file how exactly a virtual sysfs w1-therm temperature data file or even the virtual file structure looks like for a DS18XXX sensor? I had to try it the hard way, because there was no such documentation a year ago.

That's just one simple example. I know, I could (and probably should) improve that on my own...

Spoiler:

cat /sys/bus/w1/devices/28*/w1_slave 62 01 ff ff 7f ff ff ff 91 : crc=91 YES 62 01 ff ff 7f ff ff ff 91 t=22125

@Tim_G said in WD Blue PC SSD:

@thwr said in WD Blue PC SSD:

Couldn't find a good English source, but this German Golem article explains that WD blue is based on planar 15nm TLC cells from Flash Forward (joint venture: Toshiba & WD) and uses a Marvell controller. This combination isn't new, just take a look at the SanDisk X400.

It looks like the WD Green SSD uses the same cells, but another controller from Silicon Motion which does not even have a cache, making it a poor choice in most cases.

So yes, it's just rebranded with a slightly modified firmware.

I think this pretty much answers my question. Thanks!

My pleasure
