      that's a nice french word, maybe that's why.

      It's a French origin, but so is resume. It's a word in English for a very long time.

      all true but maybe they have a cutoff somewhere before it is recognized. I am just guessing though.

      @scottalanmiller I saw some job postings from Basecamp the fitness company be linked to Basecamp the tech company. They're probably trying to autolink stuff together and royally screwing it up.

      I've worked in loads of different roles and industries. I find that as IT is just the infrastructure component of business, and that separating the two is nearly impossible, that over the years I've moved from being an IT generalist to a business generalist and now tackle IT from above, dealing as much with the overarching business concerns as the IT ones.

      University schools that has a surplus have some useful equipment for lab use.

      I’m doing that with a friend and his kid- it’s older UBNT and other gear- but it give a 10yo something to start with.

      What have they retired? That would be the only thing that matters on using older machine - the possibility that some newer commands aren't there.

      I will be upgrading my UniFi hardware. So I have two APs that I am replacing. the Controller is a VM still.

      I also had a project build of a Stand alone Point to Point wireless network for our Club. It's two UBNT M5 units and two EnGenius EAP9550 units One running DHCP, and the other a slave. The idea was that when we did a contest (Field Day) we could be across a 400yard area, and it would be nice to have internet / network for file sharing and such. I built it, it worked - and no one was interested in it. So - I'll be giving it all to him for his kid to learn on - tear up - etc....

      @scottalanmiller DBAs. There is still a prevalence of thought that they must have lots of separate drives for any number of purposes. These 'drives' all go to the same two or three luns, and some drives are in the same datastore, so.... splitting drives is just splitting hairs. It makes it easier to see database size, though a good DBA should be able to manage that without complication.

      @manxam said in Collision Domain - In POS:

      I can't recall ever seeing a switch "back in the day" that didn't have ASICs. There are a few newer switches that do, in fact, use CPU rather than ASICs, but they're built using MUCH faster CPUs than what are included in most -- if not all -- routers.

      Early days, the ASICs didn't even exist yet. It wasn't a choice, it was all that there was to use software. Then the ASICs came along and obviously dominated. But yes, it always requires throwing more hardware at it.

      How far back are we going here? My first experience with a switch was with Alantec/FORE ATMs (circa early 91/2). These had a RISC SCP processor to run the OS/management functions and custom ASICs for switching. After that, in the more mainstream, came Kalpana and then Cisco. To the best of my knowledge, there were no switches available prior to thicknet (first commercial ethernet).

      I'd love more information if you have it available. I love the history of tech.

      Not that far back, still 90s, but a lot of switches were all software in the middling to later 90s as the ASICs weren't broadly available.

      But even the very, very first ASICs were / are always based on working software prototypes.

      I've never seen a thicknet switch, what a freaking mess that must be.

      @WrCombs said in Huge Mistake:

      The software I installed was a free Trial
      it wont let me actually recover anything until I pay for it...

      :man_facepalming_light_skin_tone:

      Wanting to use only Free fully functional recovery software means your data is not valuable to you.

      I have recently tried the following data recovery tools:
      Piriform Recuva
      Cgsecurity Testdisk

      On a formatted partition with good results. But some files were corrupted or lost.

      There are many more free programs most are a cut down version of a commercial package.
      A few recover a limited number of files for free or show you what could be recovered if you Pay for a license.

      Based on my experience, though those tools are paid, they are more professional and find more good results than free ones.

      I would recommend to you:
      iBoysoft Data Recovery
      EaseUS
      Disk Drill

      Please note that If you look for an unformat option if you have not written to the formatted partition since it happened (although windows will write to the drive anyway ). Because how successful they will depend on how much has been written to the drive since formatting. Therefore, you'd better use another hard disk eg USB, SATA, or over a network to a hard drive to recover the data.

      This post will be helpful: https://iboysoft.com/data-recovery/recover-data-from-formatted-hard-drive.html

      Moreover, depending on the value of data ask for professional help or carry on recovery yourself.

      Be able to lock it down so he can only use the School Apps etc ?

      If you use Chromebook tablets, there are no apps conceptually by default. And there are regular user accounts.

      I need to experiment and come up with a plan. He wants to buy some new hardware too as his is getting up there in age. He knows there is better/faster equipment out there now. I already did an SSD swap in his laptop (W10) and his iMac (2012). Right now, he is talking about a new Mac Mini and multiple monitors. Parallels is installed on the iMac so he can run Win XP for some old PC games.

      Virtualbox is a possibility with Linux VMs but I can't say I've ever used it on MacOS. Parallels is another option.

      not gonna lie, when i saw this chart, i literally drove to kk and ate an entire dozen. but only drink water now. water is great.

      Or even better, no soda, no donuts. But since we are not robots, I'd settle for diet soda and only a couple donuts if needed.

      I have no problem paying for QoL features, but pay to win pisses me off.

      assuming QoL is quality of life - I don't know how that equates to these games?

      But they have all been pay to win fast forever. You "not pay" to win in like 20 years.

      Not necessarily these games, but, for example, I play Path of Exile, and there are no "microtransactions" for currency/extra damage/content, but you can buy stash tabs to store more items and organize things better. They also have microtransactions for visual effects (like flashy swords, etc.) and stuff too, but nothing that makes your character stronger.

      I suppose there are many people out there who would like the flashy sword and are willing to pay for it, I'm not among them.
