Morning.

First time ever I try windows reset... unable to reset.

So much for that new gadget

lol

PC has been flaky for a year

I think it was due to a loose NVME disk, and tons of lots and found directories

Including content from the windows folder

I removed half the memory (strippin git down to mere minimum), then found the loose disk and it sort of ran for the last few months

And once my new desktop is up and running I will do a full wipe and reinstall

But the new PC is going very slow

And it is now set to quantity 0, even though they seem to have a few in stock since yesterday

I hate debuging UEFI/mvme combinations

New mother board for which I have no CPU yet, 3 (which would leave me one spare slot)

Probably slow to, unless there is some cheap thunderbolt to one or more NVME docks

I once had a mobo issue which was resolved when I moved my RAM to another slot.

While trying to fix .NET framework, I've been trying to use sfc /scannow and dism, but it says I need source files. Since this is Windows 10 1909 (with all updates), I can't find an ISO file that matches the build version, 18363.1316. Would forcing it to upgrade to 2004 be likely to resolve issues?

Morning!

Wow. clear languague during inauguration

any spare PCIe slots?

pci-e to M2 is pretty cheap

I have, but not yet any PCI-e to M2 cards

Hmm. Boot from USb pendrive. Your PC neds to be rewpaired

no, really. I never noticed that windows

No user visible progres at all

bandwidth: idle

cpu:idle.

Are they waiting for someonei redmond to manually code the windows update?

the guy who types in the update for each computer is probably busy watching the inauguration

For biden junior

I realise namingis different, but still ...

I had it on, but way to many by god, in the name of. barf

Right first boot. first hard power cycle.

Thought this was kinda funny: Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys

Without following the link: \- e ?

No, they just bashed on the physical and on-screen keyboards while the desktop was locked and the screensaver was running.

"Bash" as in "hit repeatedly"; not the shell.

Doing so caused the screensaver to crash, which unlocked the computer.

I probably would have started with control alt backslah... only to discover that kill X server is no longer default and that the whole X server package is onow different by default

A) Putting aside mSATA. Do laptop SSDs use "Mini SATA"?

B) Is 2.5" SATA(as in, the SATA on a 2.5" drive), different dimension connector to 3.5" SATA(as in, SATA on a 3.5" drive)?

C) Are all mSATA(micro SATA) drives NVMe?

@djsmiley2kStaysInside I'll give you the point for VPN but I can't see any other uses for Network as a service. Even the Wikipedia article talks about "Mobile network virtualization" which basically just sounds like any ISP

hmmm yeah it does lol

but loadbalancers, proxys, nat devices, DR stuff...

How would load balancing happen in the cloud? If it's all traffic from each node goes to the cloud's load balancer and then it decides which server it goes to, that's A LOT of over head

and it would have to have knowledge of the entire network to make the decision as to which server to send it to

so I don't really see how load balancing can be done from the cloud

well, google do exaxctrly that

and, they HAVE knowledge of the network

that's the point

you pay them to know that stuff. and you simply 'don't care'

oh, the servers are in the cloud too

it's ALL in the cloud

I want to say DNS can help with that too.

(Haha, no I don't need your help, Clippy)

Well if it's all in the cloud, isn't it incorrect to say it's still your business lol? Then what do you do

Sort of like the same difference between using a website builder like Wix and actually doing the code

@barlop the SATA+power connectors on 2.5 inch drives and 3.5 inch drives are the same
