Time Trap.

I have a meeting that I can't miss.

@Seb1982 said in Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop Lag:My Dell XPS 13 lags after upgrading to 20.04. All graphics are fine, but the system simply does not respond quickly enough. Sometimes all is fine, but often the pointer is about half a second behind, so is typing.And, I assume, it was snappy under the previous version?Since the initial issues, mine has stayed responsive.

@Markferron Have you tried rearming the original key using the following command on CMD slmgr.vbs -rearm. Please run CMD as administrator maybe that might help as well.

@scottalanmiller said in Non-IT News Thread:@JaredBusch said in Non-IT News Thread:@scottalanmiller said in Non-IT News Thread:It's like Europeans coming to the Americas. They had absolutely no idea that their diseases would spread like crazy and kill most people. But today, we'd not do the same thing again because we know what would happen.Europeans would absolutely do the same thing if they knew, because there was too much money involved.It is not much different today. The economic gains that would be implicit in something like a new continent being located would set off a gold rush level of migration and no one would give a fuck about killing the natives with disease.Well and the real thing is that it only takes ONE person not giving a fuck and then everyone is screwed. They "know" with some certainty exactly which person it was who infected South America and it wasn't a European. It was a slave who got infected, didn't know (nor understand so makes no difference) and fled to the continent with small pox. All the Europeans who came months or weeks later with it landed in a place already devastated.Had it not been him, would have been some other random person. Point being, society can't eliminate that type of infection path because it requires, for all intents and purposes, a 100% agreement to keep separate.But big gatherings are different. Every bit that they are reduced, at least helps.Japan's biggest covid spike was nearly 700 in one day. They issued an order to wear face masks, something they often due as a courtesy to avoid getting others sick if they, themselves, are ill. In the US, you tell people to wear a mask and you get the idiocracy telling you that they're breathing CO2 and 'muh freedumbs!!'Poor leadership is killing people.https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200624082657.htm

@Obsolesce said in Apple Mac Going to ARM RISC:@scottalanmiller said in Apple Mac Going to ARM RISC:RISC-V is seen as the future with more modern and more open design than ARM and zero security risks like ARM has. ARM is so risky, I'd never risk (pun intended) developing something new with it, only something old.Oh yeah, forgot about that!Still very low end devices, but moving up fast. I'm really excited to see the first SBCs and desktops built off of it.

@Dashrender said in How to Connect Power Disable SATA Drive to Dell Inspiron 5676:Interesting problem - how did you know it was Power Disabled?Combination of its behaviour and searching on the drive and finding a list of models and WD having a paper on it. Took a lot of research. But once you know Power Disabled exists, know your model number, know to check it, know what it will do... THEN it's easy to find. But you have to have all those pieces to even know what to look for.But WD has a guide to which models have it. But if you aren't told the exact model before ordering, that does you no good!

@mlnews said in Miscellaneous Tech News:Google to pay for 'high quality' news in three countriesGoogle says it will pay some news outlets for "high-quality" stories that it uses amid pressure from publishers.Part of the initiative will require Google to pay for its users to access news stories otherwise locked behind a so-called paywall on certain websites. The first sites to join are in Australia, Brazil, and Germany, with a product launch set for later this year. It comes as authorities in some countries investigate how tech firms use news content without paying for it. Australia has put forward plans to force Google and Facebook to pay news publishers under competition rules. France has already issued Google with an order to do so. It is the latest development in a long-standing row with news publishers over whether tech giants should pay them to include "snippets" of news articles in search results or on social media.So the question is - will Google choose to just stop with snippets to those news sites like they did in the past.

That is weird but when things happen out of blue to win10 machines I always start with uninstalling windows updates. In my environment that is by far the number one thing that breaks things. Occasionally a user will do something but if its multiples machines, its always been windows updates here.

@dbeato said in Deduplication on CSV storage:@scottalanmiller said in Deduplication on CSV storage:@dbeato said in Deduplication on CSV storage:For example SQL Servers or Exchange cannot have deduplication on themMicrosoft lists SQL Server as their prime example of "might be good for it, but you need to evaluate your use case" ...https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/data-deduplication/install-enableWell, I would say this is the part with Hyper-V that is so ambiguousIt's not, it can't be. VDI has massive overlap and can use more aggressive deduplication, but that's all. Dedupe by definition is either always safe, or never safe. There cannot be an inbetween. Not when it runs below the filesystem.Hyper-V support and safety is never in question. Only Hyper-V for VDI has a specialized tuning option.

How would I call call that function from within the script itself; just & do-function?The same way I did on line 24.Ok, I have to test this.I just noticed, that on line 16, the $timeDate... variable is supposed to be $SomethingI did it too quick and didn't catch it when I put it in at the end.

@dbeato said in Site to Site VPN - not passing audio traffic properly:@fuznutz04 what happens when you disable the routing? Does it work? If it does then you can pinpoint it to your routing making it all go through the other end of the VPN WAN.Yep disabling the VPN (disabling the VTI interface on my office router ) immediately makes it work. So technically, I didn't disable the route, but I downed the VPN tunnel.On the Edge router, is it possible to route just the SIP and RTP traffic out of the public interface and NOT have that specific traffic go through the tunnel?

@stacksofplates yup! One of the few using golangI've enjoyed it too once!

This is going to save me time. Was just starting to look at this.

Since you are connected to the printer via USB. Disable plug and play. And then delete all those extra printers.
