A drop bear (sometimes dropbear) is a hoax in contemporary Australian folklore featuring a predatory, carnivorous version of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus). This imaginary animal is commonly spoken about in tall tales designed to scare tourists. While koalas are typically docile herbivores (and notably, not bears), drop bears are described as unusually large and vicious marsupials

Windows Home license costs something like $120. It's not much, I think, but what do you get for those $120? As I remember, Microsoft announced, that there will be no more Windows 11 after Windows 10 and that Windows will just receive rolling updates again and again.
But it seems, that it would b...
@JourneymanGeek It's not really opinion based, IMO. But also not a particularly great question. Hm. It would actually be alright as a semi-canonical, but as it currently is it reads more like someone overly skeptical.
I'm impressed how a gaming laptop from 2016 with five times the peak wattage of my 2011 laptop can last longer and do more on a smaller battery, and also outperform a high-end 2015 desktop, though not necessarily at the same time.
Mind you going from 32nm to 14nm only really reduced power consumption by about 40%, far less than the reduction of TDP from 37w to 15w would suggest.
Can't wait till Vega makes the GPU market competitive again... having to choose between hardwired Optimus or G-Sync because NVidia's too lazy to implement Freesync is becoming a pain
Sadly having an obscure, niche, expensive Japanese laptop means there's not a huge mass of angry high profile gamers out there making a noise whenever anything is bugged
Eh I shouldn't be moaning about Dell's delivery time, after all I'm getting an incredibly good spec laptop for a ludicrously low price.

granted it hasn't been rebooted but everything else has been checked so far, and there's nothing running that should be trying to login to the system it's failing on :/

Can anyone tell me the correct term in this sentence, it's describing an iOS application where clicking on any of the three buttons takes the user to another, well, if it were a website, it would be called a page.
"With the application loaded, users are given the choices of logging in, creating and account, posting an add or searching. All four of these options will take the users to another ..."
I was going to call it a window. What's the appropriate term? Thanks
Cool... I use PS remoting all the time to perform tasks across a range of computers
I spend a large part of most days doing it in fact, however I am curious, when I start a process remotely, is there anyway to make that process interactive for the user logged onto the console.
The non-psexec way would involve getting the active console session ID, looking for a winlogon process in that session, duplicating its token (which requires assigning and enabling SeTcbPrivilege), creating a process with that user in a given desktop, then disposing of all those native resources appropriately
In case the flagging was due to the potential misuse, it is because we have an application that uses local per seat licensing with no way to manage across the whole network. The licenses are often transferred between computers. so rather than go hit each one individually, I sweep through, launch the license utility, screenshot it and save it back to a network share.
that way I know who has the ball per se, and who needs it removed to stay in compliance.
old help desk technician thought it would be funny to mail a zipped eicar file to whole address list. Annoying to some, not well received by some others in management.
And I agree it is not hard in general if you know your environment, but I put malware writers up there with spammers, sort of same stature as chewing gum in a parking lot...
I have a Dell server that will not boot and I need to get data off the disks inside. The HDDs are 300GB each in RAID 5 and I have a couple large 2TB HDDs that I would like to pull the data to. What would be the best way to go about this?

I am neither psychic or a mind reader and I don't like guessing games. What is your hardware (PC/laptop with model number) and Operating System? Please edit the question and include this essential information. — DavidPostill32 secs ago
I'm going to request another room owner or moderator to please pin my previous message if and only if you feel it's appropriate to pin here (and relevant to the users here); if not, don't pin it. I won't pin it myself because it'd be too masturbatory ;p
@bwDraco there are three profiles for Bluetooth audio: HeadSet Profile (HSP), Hands-Free Profile (HFP), and Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP).
HSP and HFP support ridiculously awful quality, single-channel (mono), low-bitrate audio with a codec from the digital telephone era, and explicitly don't support any sort of modern CD-quality-like or stereo encoding, either for playback or for capture.
A2DP supports great quality codecs, but only supports playback to the headphones/speakers, NO mic support.
any Bluetooth devices that support something better are breaking the Bluetooth standard, and anything custom they do will ONLY work with products from that vendor, guaranteed (see: Creative BT-W2's "FastStream" codec with "Bluetooth Voice-back").
Bluetooth Voice-back is a blatantly confusing term that actually implements what I want, but it IS NOT STANDARD and WILL NOT work with non-Creative headphones/headsets.
I'm surprised the Bluetooth SIG didn't sue Creative over it.
it's implying Bluetooth the standard supports something that it doesn't.
@Hennes NO!! I want the Bluetooth Special Interests Group, the industry consortium that releases successively new protocol versions of Bluetooth, to release version N+1 with support for what I want.
That way I'll be able to say "if the transmitter and the headset peripheral both support Bluetooth version ___, duplex high-quality audio will work. Period."
Lets starti with red_tooth 5.0, supporting fast charging over wiresless, deinfecting the erea around the antenna (due to power leaks), and a promise to increase trades. THe latter so traders will wear them.
@bwDraco I may not get anything done myself, but I figure if I make enough noise and some wireless engineer at Sony or whatever gets wind of it, it might end up happening
all I know is that if I stay silent and do nothing, it won't happen
@bwDraco as a fellow homebody who has had many issues with overprotective parents, I can say that it's hugely beneficial to spend at least part of your day out of the house... a job -- any job -- would go a long way to helping that
