This was painful to read

TRUE! Wow... some serious lack of BASIC I.T. Knowledge...

Eh, I don't really care about that. We are all in a constant state of learning. I'm not in a position to judge anyone

Right, but claiming to be an expert and putting this as a basis of being an expert is laughable.

And now we pause for a brief commercial interruption.

This thread is brought to you by our sponsor. The Arizona Wine Growers Association.

We started having problems with multiple sites where computers connected via Unifi AP's and 4.3.24.11355 firmware can't get an IP.

I found out that there is a known issue with the current firmware.

The work around is to change the SSID name, provision, and then change it back and provision. Unifi also suggested these settings:

WPA Personal: ON
Block Lan to WLAN multicast data: ON
Fast Roaming: OFF
Encryption: AES/CCMP only
Enable: GTK Rekeying 3600 seconds
Enable Multicast enhancement: ON
DTIM mode 2 G 3 and 5G3
5G Data Rate: ON
5G data rate: 54Mbps

Sends beacons at 6Mbps

Or you can of course downgrade the firmware until there is a fixed version.

If so, can you share please?

@Obsolesce said in How to get Chrome to remember which monitors to open on:

@CCWTech download the MS power toys and use fancy zones.

Unless I am missing something, it looks like that won't work. It all opens in ONE Window. So I don't see that it will drag the tabs the way they were...

And just this evening I went to watch TV and I came back... Guess what? Windows decided to reboot for updates while I was gone...

I gotta go back to Ubuntu I suppose... I just wish there were better games for it...

@Obsolesce Ok, I'll look at this, thanks!

@DustinB3403 I wish I could add two more honestly! But it's so frustrating because with Ubuntu, it just worked... If only there were more apps written for Ubuntu!

@DustinB3403 What I get instead...

@DustinB3403 What I want to happen

@DustinB3403 I do have a primary set, however maybe photos will help. On reboot I get All the tabs open I set to open on startup, but ALL one one 'Window' of Chrome or on one screen. I got spoiled because on Ubuntu it remembers WHICH monitor you had which tabs open. Photos coming...

I am using Windows 11. This worked fine on Ubuntu but I needed to switch to Windows in order to support other apps.

Maybe I am asking too much but I have 4 screens. I have Chrome open on each screen and about 8 tabs open on each screen.

But, when I reboot, Chrome remembers the tabs I have open, but puts them all on one screen and I have to then re-arrange each time. It's quite a pain, especially with how often Windows makes you reboot.

Is there anything I can do to get Chrome to open as I want it to?

Not sure if this goes in IT Discussion or Water Closet because it's more of a RANT than an IT Problem.

I have ranted previously on this, but still finding it as common behavior.

Will someone PLEASE tell IT security departments that geoblocking is insanely stupid?

You have to believe that people on vacation in Central America (or living abroad there) is a huge thread, and/or that hackers don't know how to use VPN or otherwise spoof their IP addresses.

@IThomeboy80 You are welcome. I keep falling more and more in love with Proxmox every day. It's just a great product!

We have a physical box running Hyper-V and need to go to ESXi
I know VMware has a converter and Starwind has one.

Anyone use either of these tools and can give some feedback?

The starwind one looks pretty simple but it scars me how easy it makes it look. Is this a live migration or does it shut the VM off? (Or do I need to shut it down first)

Any help is appreciated. I know @Oksana is here, maybe she can give some input.
