I have a Windows 8.1 machine with Hyper-V installed. From a "clean" Hyper-V configuration I open Virtual Switch Manager, create an External switch with "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter", click OK. Everything seems to work properly but the host loses network connect...
Hyper-V is installed beneath the operating system. The host OS itself becomes a virtual machine. This change is transparent to users and applications because it can continue to directly access the hardware.
Hyper-V consists of a hypervisor layer upon which there is a parent partition as well as...
When I set up Hyper-V for the first time on my laptop, I actually had trouble understanding why it is considered a bare-metal hypervisor.
What really amazes me is the fact that hardware-assisted virtualization technology makes it possible to virtualize an existing OS in a fashion that is almost entirely transparent to users and applications.
I never actually thought this was possible without needing to modify device drivers or applications to match.
There are different electronic devices that have better or worse signal strength and terminations being proper and all, but for the most part $45 HDMI works as good as a $15 one.
Ugg, 8 or 13 , is it really that much ? I would do the "better" one there. I would also look at the people who had problems with either (1star) and see what thier problems were. If it was interferance, wonder how simple ferrite beads might have helped, because cables with em do not cost that much more.
quality could be more important on instalations that move. when using in the feild with a camera or something. Vrses Installing it once in a solid non-moving un-changing situation where returning the cable as soon as you get it would be an option.
@HackToHell Google Chrome has a data saver extension from google but I have to disable it to log in to stackexchange.
Um, speaking of net connections. I have a tiny question. I'm connecting via modem and the modem has a software that comes along with it. Modem software is always annoying to me.
It's more adware than actually useful.
It takes like 25MB of my precious memory which I know is tiny but you know, every drop contributes to the ocean.
@HackToHell The assumption is that either you have the original driver package installed (and you're still running their software at some level) or it simply cannot work because Win7 does not implement a USB modeswitch and therefore doesn't ever know there's a modem connected.
In this case, it'll work as long as he doesn't remove the driver.
@HackToHell: Is there some native USSD dialer hiding somewhere in windows?
@Bob: Btw, that software you gave me is actually helping me out with sending USSD commands. I finally know the number of the internal SIM Card it's using. Really, it's awesome.
Mine can supposedly send and receive SMSes (as in, the carrier allows that, not just technically able to)... never actually used it for that, though, and no idea how charges are calculated.
@Bob Sure, they do when you subscribe for it but it's my grandad's subscription and he's not around...
No, I don't mean he's dead. I just live in a different city and he's loaned it to my dad... ah, forget the details. End story, I didn't know the number it till now.
@Bob USSD's are better than SMS. It only needs a connection to the GSM network.
@Bob Mhh, I don't know why but I'm against installing stuff into this particular notebook that I'm using. I really don't want to be held responsible when it crashes. So, I'll play around with this low-level stuff. Maybe I'll learn something.
@JourneymanGeek I swear to you, the most frustrating part of learning is implementing it practically, the second most frustrating part is understanding terminology.
@JourneymanGeek Mhh, too bad most of it washes off when I philosophize in the shower. I seriously need an SD port to my brain.... water-resistant, ofcourse. No, wait, you guys said SD's were slow. What external stroage medium would you advise for the brain?
@JourneymanGeek To divert a second, sublime text used to have this multi cursor thing on one of my systems. Now, in later installs, I can't seem to get that anymore. What's the hotkey for that?
@JourneymanGeek Maybe I'm not using it right. How does the thing come about? Is it like some key+left-click or something? I can't see anything relavent by running through the key bindings.
@JourneymanGeek re-installed it. Now, it works, your combo was right. Yay!
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, sublime text does have benefits including the fact that with its snippets you don't have to install any other auto-complete software. Templates ranging from "Sorry, we have to break up" to "The dog ate my homework".
@JourneymanGeek Omg, seriously, this is sooo useful. Makes a lot of other editors look like notepad.
But seriously, to this day, I've never found anything more lightweight than notepad.
Notepad and MS Paint have saved my butt so so many times.
@JourneymanGeek If Sublime-Text had like a Hemmingway extension though, I'd be writing much more literature than I am right now but I guess, till that happens, code is all that it's useful for.
@JourneymanGeek Whatever it's used for. It's always useful.
@Bob I speak from experience when I say two things, one: don't get emotionally upset and throw away perfectly good documentation (or anything for that matter) just because someone upset you. two: you have to habituate writing (documentation) because it's like a muscle that needs flexing.
@JourneymanGeek Psychiatrists (or atleast some lifehacker) often say you have to write documentation because one gets emotionally upset.
@HackToHell That's because there isn't. I searched a ton, it turns out you need an external USSD dialer. I'm sticking with @Bob's mdma for that, even though it pains my eyes to look at it.
@allquixotic A Gigabyte per second is seriously fast but this is just an interface. Isn't it only as fast as the storage drive you connect to it?
@Bob ^ transparent notepad. I don't know the repurcussions of my actions though.
@Bob I seriously did not know that that was ecstacy. Again, I didn't know it was called Molly either. I didn't expect to be googling drugs when I first walked into this room.
@Hennes The only germans I've met are highschoolers who can play the violin while dancing the polka.
Damn great people.
@Hennes Yeah, German cars, German watches, German scientists, German evil-scientist and um, evil-dictators. Seriously, all built to perfection. Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I really mean it.
All built to perfection except the evil people. They always lose. I guess, their failure is inherent of being evil, not german.
Does anyone here know about Windows Batch Scripting or the like? I see all these cmd line commands like "php -s" and I have no idea where to type in hor how to use.
@Bob I have no idea what I'm talking about. You know those commands you see on github that's supposed to download some file or something. Idk how to use those.
@Bob speaking of independant programs. I remember installing those pstools. I haven't gotten them to work. The just open and close immediately. Idk how to actually run them in a shell. How do you do that?
If you don't want a CLI program to close the window after exiting, run them from cmd (which will load the process, redirect its output for you, and stay running after the process exits)
Generally, I'm fine with just going through the list one at a time when I need to.
Don't usually have too much crap installed anyway.
But it's alarmingly easy to nuke a system or remove something you don't intend to when you chuck an untested script at the job.
You wouldn't be able to properly/easily select the correct programs to uninstall with a script anyway. And most will require navigating some interactive uninstaller.
@Hennes Not my computer. I have stuff like github and evernote installed. personal use programs that the owner doesn't need nor likes.
Setting the programs to automatically self destruct on say, May 21st would be cool.
@Bob It's fun that I'm treading in dangerous waters now :)
Well, all I have to do now are grasp those github shell codes, learn what the heck Powershell is and does and actually start playing around with making .cmd automations. These are the best days of my life :)
Have you ever typed on a mechanical keyboard? Cause if you did i cant see worrying about design when for your whole life you have only had mushey garbage :-)
I have actually typed on one, which happened to be on an early 90s Smith Corona typewriter (it's still operational and we have one unused ribbon cartridge for it)
There are way different mech designs though, location and size of important keys like the enter , how the arrows are integrated in, locations of delete and backspace. same kinds of things that exists for regular keyboards.
When switching a key layout, it can take either the first day to get used to where (and how big) the keys are, or Never , swearing at the placement for the rest of your life .
I get mine here pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD because they made me a custom (color keycaps) for less than $100 even. But those RGB led fully configurable seem like they would be what i really want. My keyboard has lasted 10+ years , with food :-)
And i still use PS2 :-( because they still say they are "faster" less latency, even though that port is slower speeds.
I think my next motherbaord will probably not even have a PS2 , as this one has only 1 , and other motherboards have tossed them.
