@mlnews said in Non-IT News Thread: Trump tests a materialistic message to voters President Donald Trump is not waiting for the economy to go south amid growing fears of a recession to wage what could be the defining fight of the 2020 election. Trump is becoming increasingly nervous that the end of an 11-year expansion could scupper his hopes of a second term and is going on the attack as ill omens and recent stock market slumps haunt the global economy. "Most economists actually say we are not going to have a recession," Trump told reporters in New Jersey on Sunday. "Most of them are saying we will not have a recession but the rest of the world is not doing well like we are doing." A recession does not appear to be an immediate danger in the US but signs of a global slowdown are sprouting up everywhere, hinting that Trump could face a more difficult political environment in 2020 than expected. A successful reelection race in the face of a sluggish economy would represent the biggest sales job of the former real estate mogul's life and he would again rewrite the laws of political gravity. To damn funny. Before even hovering over the link I said to myself, "This sure sounds like CNN talking." Low and behold.

Limited how? All she needs is something that'l let her play and learn numbers, letters and shapes. She doesn't need nor does she now how a web browser works. App limited. For anyone interested, you can install the full Google Play store on a Fire tablet. Recently purchased a Fire tablet and through the install of Google Play, I was able to install any Android app from the store. Haven't run into anything that wouldn't work so far. It's now in use as a security display for my Unifi Video cameras at my house via the Android Unifi Video app.

Looks like it's by the same people that did the Sharknado movies (which are awesome). If you like cheesy B movies, also check out Swarm Of The Snakeheads, which is on Amazon Prime right now. Maxirod. lol

@denis_mcgee said in Home business ideas for transition out of 9-5?: Of course, it is better to choose an area, in which there are constant orders or customers who are looking for specialists to support existing projects. But specifically in the same web development, there is quite a strong competition, especially for beginners. It's a developer's market. Companies can't find qualified people, it's hard to even get people to interview.

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?"

@dafyre said in What Are You Currently Reading Outside of Tech: Reading "Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes" with my kid, lol. We're now about 3/4 the way through the book. It's a decent book so far. Don't tell my kid, but I'm going to read it again after we finish, lol.

Alright. You've all inspired me to quit the "hold steady" phase and make another move downward......:)
