Wondering why the heck anyone would sell a microserver, and then to make it worse it has no server functionality at all.
No out of band management, no capacity for raid (besides Windows) or Linux MD (which I can't use Linux) oh and then a Windows 10 Pro license with it as well...
and what makes it a "server"?
My guess is the label, marketing or lead salesman.

Yeah the name on the front of the box. It's a "MicroServer Gen10"

@wrcombs just to add to the confusion … there are hybrid SSD HDD made be Seagate.
IIRC the controller puts frequently accessed stuff on the SSD and moves less accessed items to the HDD.
I may be over simplifying it.
Seagate didn’t jump on the all flash bandwagon at the start as they believed that hybrid devices were the future

That's interesting , I didn't even know that was a thing and we've used Seagate for a lot of our Drives for our PC's.

Ha! I've seen worse scripts than this; however, all of its boolean tests are
($anActualBooleanValue -eq "True"), which apparently does work, but I wouldn't trust it. -
@eddiejennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
($anActualBooleanValue -eq "True")
"True" is a string.
A boolean value would be $True or $False.
$anActualBooleanValue -eq $TrueTechnically, you can do
if ($anActualBooleanValue) {} -

This seems completely normal to me, maybe the laws of retainment are more strict in NY, but I want to say that 7 years is the minimum that records need to be kept.

Oh it wasn't about the retention time... it was having to recover a file from that long back.. Most cases I see / have done are within the last day/week/month. Not 7 years.

Sound check,….
Less glamorous than it sounds. I'm going through the audio of a video and removing strange speaking and breathing sounds that you never notice in live conversation, but are super noticeable when recorded with a microphone.

Looking for a new radio, as I managed to sell my main one yesterday. ... which was a bit of a surprise. Not sure I want to deal with an external tuner on the next one,.. but just means more up front...
It's between these:
FT-991A ALL-BAND, MULTIMODE PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER
or
FT-891 HF+50Mhz ALL MODE MOBILE TRANSCEIVER
I would need a tuner to go with the FT-891, whereas the FT-991A has it internal. It's been a long time (cir 2000) since I bought a new primary radio,... it's over due...

What kind of radios are those? CB?
I'd definitely go with the 991A if it's got the tuner built in.
