For distance learning here, we use the car because nobody, except for IT, can figure out how to use Skype for Business or anything else.

If anyone is curious about Huawei networking equipment, I have two different types of access points im testing tomorrow, the AD9430DN-24 switches and the AC6605-26-PWR Access Controller. I'll start a thread tomorrow.

I highly recommend not to because Huawei is compromised by the Chinese, just like Lenovo.

It says right on the page and the OP even said it. He knew right from the start who owned it. The goal was never to find that out.

They're not ashamed of it. I'm just wondering what all of the digging is all about. Are they trying to find some dirty laundry some where? Attempting to accuse of money laundering or something?

@Texkonc You just haven't found the right one for you. There's one out there for you. There's lots of fish in the sea.

What's odd is with the hundreds of times I've pushed A Small Orange, no one ever complained about that.

Because you don't have an stake in ASO.

Says you.

Do you own EIG stock?

What does it matter to you what he owns and doesn't own? That is really none of your business. This is `Merica, the land of the free, where we can invest the money into what we want, when we want, and how we want.

@scottalanmiller said in Installing Debian 9.1 minimal:

I'm liking Debian more and more as I use it. However the install process has a ridiculous number of screens.

You can choose a different install method and should see fewer screens. My guides are not for the advanced users though.

The less advanced users thank you profusely for that.

And here I thought that I was one of the few that doesn't know Linux that well. Looks like I am more of the majority than the minority.

About to watch Logan & Jon Wick 2 at the drive-in.

@RojoLoco thanks for the wonderful idea .. i know you are the most intelligent guy in this forum..

Oh please don't do that to us. His ego is big enough already.

So, today is Pi day. What kind of pie should be had today? Pizza? Desert?

I might put a pistol and about 100 rounds of ammo in that safe deposit box too... Maybe $5-10k in cash too. This sounds like end of the world backup scenario, be prepared.

Plan Z could be named for one of 2 reasons.

• Plan A, Plan B...Plan Z
• Plan for the Zombie apocalypse

However you want to see it.

@scottalanmiller Get to feeling better my friend. We need that brain of yours.

Sorry, no pictures on this one as I don't have Windows 10 as a VM, but here's what I did to get into the problem computer:

1. At the locked screen, in the bottom right corner, press and hold down the shift key and click "Restart". Don't let go of the shift key until you come to the "Choose an option" screen.
2. Select the "Troubleshoot" option.
3. Select the "Advanced options" option.
4. Select "Command Prompt". You're computer will reboot and prompt for the bitlocker key (if it applies).
5. Now you have your command prompt. We need to inject a user and make them an administrator.
   5a) This line will create our user and set their password, locally only.
   net user <username> <password> /add
   5b) This will add the user to the local administrators group
   net localgroup administrators <username> /add
   5c) Now exit to return to the "Advanced options" screen and click "Power Off".
6. Power your computer back on and try your new credentials.

This doesn't work all of the time. I tried to create a new user in this method on another computer and it didn't work, but did work on the computer that I was having problems with.

Okay. I will concede that Athens, Texas is NOT the originator of the hamburger. However, I still await @MattSpeller & @RojoLoco's report as to the TRUE originator. Even if it takes them to Rome!

Just one month after all this happened, they are back at it again with hounding us about an account that they fabricated!

Its time to talk to council and get some recourse on this. I'd start pulling phone records, email, and conversations about every instance contact has been made. Present all of your evidence to your council and let them do their jobs.

That's going to have to be the next step. We were hoping that once their head of corporate counsel stepped in and gave assuances that it was over, in writing, that it might have done something. But I guess not.

You may be opening a can of worms about this and might not be the only victims of this sort of thing. I bet you your not, but you are probably one of the first to step forward.
