  • Depending on use case, virtualization can actually be way easier

  • Give it a go, it was surprisingly not as big an issue as I thought it would be, even for gaming (though not perfect for gaming, I've been able to get things working without too much headache at least)

  • So you want to throw a brick through OneDrive's Windows?

  • Oh, that's okay though, you signed them the rights to do that by having an account with them

    ... I'm sure is how they'll spin it

  • Thank you for providing the good reasons for it, it makes much more sense now

  • Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week

  • The accounts started out optional with benefits to entice

    They're now mandatory for Home and hard to bypass

    How long before they extend this to Pro and Enterprise? To Server? To Active Directory itself?

    They're not done yet, not by a long shot.

  • It's worse than that: it requires the old school lead acid 12v battery to be charged, so even if the car's battery is full, it doesn't matter if that old car battery has failed

    That's not unique to Tesla EVs, but it being required to open the doors may be (the 12v lead acid runs the general vehicle electronics rather than down converting the 400v or 800v main battery... I don't understand that decision, but I'm no electronics expert so there may be really good reasons for it...)

  • Last couple cars I've had that's been a setting you can change... I set mine to lock when the car moves at more than a few mph, the other options seemed like too high a chance to cause an accidental lockout to me

  • Since my other systems were unaffected, I'm pretty sure it's something on my PC, possibly an update for the Wi-Fi drivers introduced a bug that affects the 5.8 channels

    It's been stable since switching so it's more academic at this point, I have no burning need to be connected to the 5ghz channels

  • It seems to be an issue with using a 5.8 gigahertz WiFi endpoint, which has worked fine up until a couple days ago when it started dropping packets going outside my local network: I could watch a continuous ping start failing for a couple minutes while using Synergy to control my laptop that was connected to my work VPN without issue, so it only seemed to be an issue routing outside my network, which is really weird. Switching to the 2.4 gigahertz channels seems to have fixed it entirely.

    What I need to do is look up the JournalD commands to be able to read the logs correctly and find what I'm after... Might also spin up a VM to see if that goes out at the same time, would be interesting if the VM can still work while the host is dropping packets...

  • What is your favourite shell to use

    Jump

  • Not sure what's extravagant about it... Fully object oriented pipeline in a scripting language built on and with access to the .NET type class system is insanely powerful. Having to manipulate and parse string output to extract data from command results in other shells just feels very cumbersome and antiquated, and relies on the text output to remain consistent to not break

    PowerShell, it doesn't matter if more or less data is returned, as long as the properties you're using stay the same your script will not break

    Filtering is super easy

    The Verb-Noun cmdlet naming convention gets a lot of (undeserved) hate, but it makes command discovery way easier. Especially when you learn that there's a list of approved verbs with defined meanings, and cmdlets with matching nouns tend to work together.

    It actually follows the Unix philosophy of each cmdlet doing one thing (though sometimes a cmdlet winds up getting overloaded, but more often than not that's a community or privately written cmdlet)

    It's easily powerful enough to write programs with (and I have)

    And it works well with C#, and if you know some C#, PowerShell's eccentricities start to make way more sense

    Also, I mainly manage Windows servers for work running in an AD domain, so it's absolutely the language of choice for that, but I've been using it for probably close to 14 years now and I can basically write it as easily as English at this point

  • Yeah, PowerShell does do things that don't exactly make sense without having some understanding of the underlying dotnet and what the components actually do

  • It crossed that border a long, long time ago
