False target jamming for an early-warning radar would probably go down as the dumbest idea ever in the (then not very long anymore) history of all mankind. — Jörg W Mittag 2 hours ago

@JourneymanGeek what does catija mean by:

> With the current (generally low) flag rates

Journeyman Geek

1:18 AM

Where?

Ahh. Meta has not many flags

Journeyman Geek

1:56 AM

But as I understand it there's no dedicated people to handle it

@JourneymanGeek any luck with that experiment? usb tethering android phone with wifi router...?

Journeyman Geek

Aww crud

I forget

Forgot

Journeyman Geek

3:49 AM

I try to check tonight. Ended late yesterday and was tuckered our

rahuldottech

So, I'm at the airport

Going back to Bhutan

@CanadianLuke yep! There was a 100kb tool from sysinternals which would let you use multiple desktops

Handy tool

@bwDraco oooh, have fun!

bwDraco

@rahuldottech No, called it off.

Continue reading the scrollback; see Matrix for details.

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek congrats!! :D

Wait, so you're a CM now?

bwDraco

No. Mod on Meta Stack Exchange.

rahuldottech

Whoa...

@bwDraco it says CM

> We're really excited to announce the appointment of three new community moderators to Meta Stack Exchange!

bwDraco

4:02 AM

rahuldottech

Wait. Wait wait wait.

So, this is different from being a paid CM employee-of-SE?

in Ask a Super User Moderator, 1 hour ago, by Journeyman Geek

I'd only have to resign if I was a CM, and that hasn't happened

I am confusion.

Journeyman Geek

4:32 AM

I'm not a cm.

I just became a mod on MSE

In theory I'm empowered to act as a check to the CMs

No pay. No idea about swag.

Essentially it's the same abilities I have here, on another site

I'm still processing the full implications of this :p

I literally found out yesterday morning and didn't realise it would move this fast

rahuldottech

4:50 AM

Ah.

Anyway, I'm boarding the flight now. See y'all l8rz.

@JourneymanGeek: you absolutely need to see this: anandtech.com/show/13628/…

Journeyman Geek

That's cool but never seen amplifi stuff locally

bwDraco

Why is local availability such a big deal?

Journeyman Geek

Cause regulatory considerations

Especially with wifi

bwDraco

Can't you get stuff online that complies with your local regulations?

Journeyman Geek

Also conditions here are very different so local reviews would be nice

Technically no

bwDraco

7:42 AM

Don't they have stuff that is made for your market?

I find it odd that you cannot find something online that has passed type certification for Singapore...

Journeyman Geek

If they did I could get it locally

And I don't need anything fancy

I just need fast, reliable backhaul

bwDraco

My setup here is router+extender (R7800+EX7500).

(extender added to address complaints about poor signal strength going into the backyard)

Journeyman Geek

I have a free dlink router and a Linksys extender

And homeplug

Home plug is reliable as long as the drier isn't running

bwDraco

If this R7800 is getting replaced, I'm thinking about getting an RAX80.

(which will enable 802.11ax capability)

But the extender might need an upgrade, too...

If not, I'd probably get the XR500.

Journeyman Geek

I am kinda tempted by the proper unifis cause they have rediculously good management too

AX would be unlikely to reach the repeater

bwDraco

7:56 AM

802.11ax is not mmWave. That's 802.11ad and 802.11ay.

Journeyman Geek

It isn't?

Thought it was

bwDraco

802.11ax is the next major generation of Wi-Fi, the successor to 802.11ac.

Or do I migrate the whole network to something business-class (and lose the automatic QoS)?

But in return gain valuable networking experience that can advance my career?

Journeyman Geek

8:14 AM

Eh,..

I don't think anyone will hire me for being able to build my own router

bwDraco

8:31 AM

I might do it when I have a whole house to myself.

djsmiley2k

@JourneymanGeek well.... that definately helped me get this job :D

Journeyman Geek

Fiiiiinnnneeeee

But that's not why you did it?

1:01 PM

Is anyone here familiar with volume shadow copy service on Windows? Is it possible to restore a directory 'in place' instead of copying the previous version to a different location?

djsmiley2k

I thought there was a right click -> restore option, but maybe not

KZ.

There is, but it makes a copy

So, if I have a 30GB file, it has to copy all those bytes

There's also a snazzy UI in explorer where it shows you something like \\localhost\H$\Media (‎Today, ‎November ‎22, ‎2018, ‏‎3 hours ago)

But any file operations from there is a copy

I'm trying to circumvent the copy and just restore the file to that previous state

Something tell me that this price is not right

tweakers.net/pricewatch/729233/toshiba-px05svb-3-komma-84tb/…

4TB SAS. EUro 3

rahuldottech

6:10 PM

I've reached home

In Bhutan, that is

It's freezing here

Canadian Luke

@Hennes Stock up on them!

Hennes

6:25 PM

out of stock.

Both for the SAS SSD and a SATA SSD

Though I am curently limited to 22 SAS ports

Canadian Luke

Damn

Hennes

Not that is would nessecary work under dutch law

Obvious errors invalidate the purchase

Where 4TB SAS SSD for 3 EURO is very obvious

But for the old and slow 240GB SSDs (SATA), it is less obvious.
And if phones/texted/chatted and the firm confirms the price the there is a valid contract

And around black friday a lot is believable

7:01 PM

evening guys

im trying to remember a good website i used to look up info about laptops, it had an index with info about almost any laptop. Do any of you know of such website?

Hennes

7:18 PM

Nope. way too many of them

though I tend to start with sites like this
