New China virus: Cases triple as infection spreads to Beijing and Shanghai The number of people infected with a new virus in China tripled over the weekend, with the outbreak spreading from Wuhan to other major cities. There are now more than 200 cases, mostly in Wuhan, though the respiratory illness has also been detected in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Three people have died. Japan, Thailand and South Korea have reported cases. The sharp rise comes as millions of Chinese prepare to travel for the Lunar New Year holidays. Health officials have identified the infection, which first appeared in Wuhan in December, as a strain of coronavirus. They say it has led to an outbreak of viral pneumonia, but much about it remains unknown.

Dad builds Nintendo video game controller for disabled girl A man has hand-built a custom controller for his disabled daughter so she is able to play video games. Rory Steel said the Nintendo Switch controller was built for nine-year-old Ava with a Microsoft device and components from eBay for about £110. A video on Twitter of Ava, who is from Jersey, using the device has had more than 800,000 views. Mr Steel said she had given the device a "big thumbs-up" and the attention had been "a little bit surreal". He said Ava, who has hereditary spastic paraplegia which affects her motor controls and speech, made the suggestion after seeing videos online. Teacher Mr Steel, head of the Digital Jersey Academy, built the device with two joysticks and arcade game-style flashing buttons hooked up to a Microsoft Xbox adaptive controller.

@dustinb3403 Sure, let me just get some rainbow unicorn farts sent their way and everything will be good.....

FCC “consumer advisory” panel includes ALEC, big foe of municipal broadband A committee that advises the Federal Communications Commission on consumer-related matters now includes a representative of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which lobbies against municipal broadband, net neutrality, and other consumer protection measures.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Drinking: @RojoLoco sounds terrible. Rye and coffee don't mix well. Agreed. I was picturing the "bottle of red eye" like I saw in old Bugs Bunny cartoons, but I was dead wrong. But real red eye gravy is awesome (because it doesn't involve whisky).

@Romo That is correct, the red "Agent Tag" is a "meshagent.tag" text file that is in the same folder that the "meshagent.exe". It can contain up to 1k of data sent to the server on each agent start. It's there so if you have some sort of automatic installation of the agent, you can put a serial number of something in that file and it gets sent up to the server. It pre-dates the other blue tagging that is server side only. All this to say, the two tagging systems are completely separate. I can add you a "atag:<agenttag>" filter if you like? Let me know what you need.

@BRRABill it's been a full year since hte last follow up on this thread. How about an update after another year of use?

From the OP, I was going to post about the inherent risks of being an entrepreneur, but seems this is not where the thread went...

Happy Birthday to @brianwinkelmann

IT is always the last to know.

Well... plug-in downloaded source, compiled, installed and activated. In "Setting/Plugins" I can see now the "backup-reports" and "transport-email" plugins. I made some simple test with "Backup Jobs" and all seems ok. Thanks guys.

@Dashrender said in Domain Controller Down (VM): perhaps the discussion of HA should always be left at the door unless the OP specifically says something to the effect of - this was supposed to be an HA solution, why is it not - Perhaps. Often someone says something that leads us to believe that there might have been a reason for HA. But this is a case where just nothing suggests it. Not even the lack of panic or concern once things were down. They really seemed to have no care that things were down - which is fine, their design suggests that. In this case, with @wirestyle22 not having been there, he too would have to decide how the system should be viewed. But he needs the information to take back to management "Oh, you thought that this would be HA? THat's odd as it is designed exactly the opposite of that in every way and all of the policies and procedures go against that as well. How were you expecting HA without HA processes, staffing, technology, design or setup? What led you to believe something so contrary would achieve HA?"

@Dashrender said in Why Do People Still Text: @Obsolesce said in Why Do People Still Text: @scottalanmiller said in Why Do People Still Text: City texts at 5:30 that there is a tornado emergency and you should shelter in place till 6:45. Message arrives at 6:32. Real useful warning system. We'll it's not like the city has everyone's email address, and if they did, not like everyone would see or be alerted of the email. The best way is via a phone feature all phones have that can alarm and alert, outside of sms. SMS signals are more likely to be assured than a phone call I'm guessing. As far as I know, the cell company keeps trying for at least a while to get SMS messages through until an unknown timer expires or the mobile confirms receipt. I never mentioned phone calls...

@jmoore said in Web Application VS Windows Application: @scottalanmiller Certainly could be. He has over 1,200 posts, one of our top posters over the years.
