Booted straight to the CentOS 4 ISO, went into linux rescue, updated the initrd img and bam. working system from the current (as of 4 days ago) manual disk images I made.

Next project to re-learn how they restore data files. Have not done that in almost 10 years. Having no virtual infrastructure to play with, prior to this, made that harder.

Honestly the best thing in my opinion is put k3os on it and run the stuff in a single node Kubernetes cluster. You'll get experience with k8s and the applications use very little resources when deployed this way.

That gif is brilliant.

Someone (mod) fix the damned link so it shows..

So piss off Microsoft.. I so do not want to remove and add a role to resolve a role not working right......

But I found no other solution yet.

My solution was to format and re-install. Lesson learned!

The first rule of Microsoft Store:

Don't remove Microsoft Store.

Yep!

the next thought is a faulty miniSAS SFF-8087 to 4x SATA cable but why would the WD gold drive work ?

Tha'ts a nice change. They've needed that for a while. Although the old method of versioning worked well too. You got certified on a thing that didn't change. So "up to date" didn't apply back then.

I use a laptop for work, and connect via usb-c dock to dual screens at the office. I have a similar setup at the house. So, I just plug in my work machine and off I go.

@DustinB3403 ~$100 was the cost everywhere last summer (2019) when I bought mine.

@JaredBusch But why robocopy?

Because it does at least skip the ones with no changes.

Why get convoluted with Powershell to do the same?

Not every system may have Robocopy.

it became part of theOS with Windows Vista. So anything running Windows Vista or Higher will have robocopy as a part of the Operating system (as everyone should be using higher than vista at this point.. I mean.. windows 7 is obsolete now.. sooo..)

Windows 10 1709 is obsolete too, so really anything not with a support mechanism shouldn't be used. But @JaredBusch might be getting paid stupid amounts of money to support Windows XP / Server 2000

Besides a comport setting difference (which isn't relevant) I can't see a difference.

The right hand side is the one that works.

@Pete-S said in Experience with HPs small laptops/chromebooks?:

On faster computers I don't notice much of a difference between chrome and firefox and actually prefer firefox personally. But in this particular case I'm not sure it's the CPU at fault, it could also have been lack of RAM.

Same here, about the same and tend to use Firefox.

@GregC No, it just keeps happening for some reason.

This script worked great!

I just tried it on a new laptop and it removed lots of stuff nobody needs.

Kids school had sent out notice of issue and shortly after that it should be resolved.

Sad- one service “took out” school systems across the US.

This is the centralized world we're moving to.

Decentralized is really the system we want.

Why? Decentralized means more, smaller outages but doesn't solve the fundamental issues. In fact, it would make them worse. Decentralized outages don't make headlines, but they cause more downtime to the end users. More downtime, with far less ability to point to and resolve. They require vastly more resources so the ability to repair is much lower.

Done

One word of warning on these, the mic pivot point it's that robust, be semi-ginger with it, and once you set it, leave it alone.

WTF? That would be a hard no. The entire point of a hinged boom mic is to easily move it.

I'll show it to you next time we're together..

I have a similar one and love it:

I do like the full over the ear idea..not on the ear.

Same here, If giving the option, go wireless. Dealing with the cord is troublesome.

Do you have anything that's automatically setting the VLAN for the port?
