@djsmiley2k eh. Just use edge, emulate an iPad, grab the iso

ubu16

Hi,@fixer1234,can you,please,take a look to my new question - Windows 10 - Update error - and tell me what do you thing about it? Thank you

Bob

@JourneymanGeek "emulate an iPad"? o.O

Ben N

Yup, the Edge dev tools pane has an Emulation tab that you can use to emulate a variety of things in various aspects

Pretty sure Chrome has a similar feature too

Bob

@BenN I mean... why would you want to emulate an iPad?

Ben N

I suspect the thinking is that the MCT download page will present an ISO download rather than the MCT download to platforms that couldn't possibly run the MCT

I have not tested this though

Journeyman Geek

00:31

@BenN yes, this

@Bob what ben said

Bob

:\

There is a direct ISO download link, y'know?

Ah wait, that was insiders. Hm.

Michael Frank

Yea, the direct ISO link is only presented on non-Windows devices.

ubu16

01:02

@fixer1234,thank you.You are always kind.Have you any idea about this problem?

fixer1234

@ubu16, Good to hear from you. Things have been crazy and I've barely had a chance to visit the site for the past week. By coincidence, I happened to spot you as the last RA poster on the general chat page, dropped in, and saw your message. What are the odds? I never got an alert for some reason (got one for the second post).

I generally now use Windows just to occasionally print coupons for my wife, and have specifically avoided Win 10. So I can't really help with a solution. But the minor polish will bump the question on a holiday weekend in the US and maybe help attract attention. :-)

Journeyman Geek

@Bob the link will direct you to the mdt.

I find Rufus more reliable sooooo

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Rufus creates an unecessarily restrictive environment.

MCT creates a nice BIOS+EFI disk.

Rufus can't do that.

@NickAlexeev but it has a good answer, and it would need a great deal of work, but that's unlikely to be done by the author, and in this case the problem is a EE problem not a computer question because of the custom setup they were attempting

ubu16

@fixer1234,good to hear from you,for me too.I have to wait and hope to find a solution.Now,sorry,you know,it's very late for me.I hope to hear from you in the next days.Have a good night

Nick Alexeev

01:55

@Ramhound EE.SE is for electrical and electronics design questions. Making a custom setup for a PC and wanting a longer wire doesn't qualify as design. That's how we drew the boundary for EE.SE . As for the answers, they wouldn't be lost if the question were migrated.

Michael Frank

@NickAlexeev Remove the PC and what does that question have?

It's a question about why a DIY F-F HDMI extension isn't functioning as expected.

Marijuana Technology IT 420

Trump vs. Mayweather PPV

Ramhound

02:40

@NickAlexeev I am sorry, I disagree, I have taken EE courses this is a classic EE problem because of the adapter being created. If the question requires additional information to be well accepted tab EESE then strive to get that information from the author but don't throw it to us. How you design a HDMI switch controller isn't a Superuser issue the underline problem has nothing to do with a PC.

Nick Alexeev

03:25

@MichaelFrank The bar at EE.SE is set higher than that.

djsmiley2k

@NickAlexeev I can summerise for you 'Don't migrate crap'

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek oh ok. Best of luck

@MarijuanaTechnologyIT420 you just dropped into the room to share political memes...?

djsmiley2k

07:34

@allquixotic :/

Avery

SE chat doesn't exactly welcome political stuff unless otherwise specified

some sites allow it, some have separate rooms for politics etc

djsmiley2k

we welcome relevant [and|or] interesting chat. Politics rarely falls into either of those buckets.

Boris_yo

But these are not political talks. It's funny political memes...

djsmiley2k

I don't find them funny though.

Avery

07:57

@Boris_yo I don't see how djt with a wrestler saying random stuff can be funny

or how just djt standing stuff next to someone (kanye?) doing his "WRONG" thing can be funny

Boris_yo

@Avery Random stuff? Trump is conflicting with himself, talking opposite of what he meant.

Avery

if that's the case then the post includes racism and again, doesn't belong here

Boris_yo

Conflicting hypocricy...

I guess so.

But I thought posts in a form of text from members are not tolerated. The poster did not said what is depicted on image so he's not within violation.

Avery

ok whatever what about the second one

like I can partly see what's the thing in first one but not in second one

Burgi

they are trying to weasel out of my refund

morning btw

Boris_yo

08:05

The second image. They just replaced McGregor with Trump. I just think it looks funny that over-confident Trump would argue with Mayweather about something outside of politics...

djsmiley2k

@Boris_yo ....

'be nice' doesn't mean 'be nice when typing text but you can put whatever you like in images'

Boris_yo

Yeah, but usually what is put in text is intended towards other member which can start fire. With someone posting a meme for everyone, nobody is hurt as that member does not mean to provoke anyone.

djsmiley2k

@Boris_yo ... that's a very thin line

Imagine the image 'KILLING IS GOOD'

Boris_yo

Depends on context and intention.

djsmiley2k

It's not aimed at anyone

it's still offensive

@Burgi fite em!¬

Boris_yo

08:16

We are talking about text from members towards other members versus someone randomly posting image/meme.

That's a thin line?

Burgi

@djsmiley2k i am

djsmiley2k

it's like a thick line but stretched out over a vast distance.

Boris_yo

Anyone took this type of character test? 16personalities.com

Avery

eh

Boris_yo

It's pretty accurate.

Avery

08:17

@Boris_yo I did

Burgi

@Boris_yo imagine it was a "Free Palestine" image

Boris_yo

@Burgi That would be uncool...

djsmiley2k

@Boris_yo lol

reduce 16 to 12

Boris_yo

@Avery Was it accurate for you? What type are you?

djsmiley2k

oh look, it's 'accurate' star signs

Burgi

08:18

@Boris_yo that is @djsmiley2k point

djsmiley2k

I'm introverted mess.

Avery

@Boris_yo I'm INTP/INTJ -T

djsmiley2k

T is, I can't remmeber... .?

Boris_yo

@djsmiley2k What is 16 and 12?

djsmiley2k

16 is what you linked, 12 is the number of star signs

Avery

08:18

well

16 personality thing is actually not random so

Boris_yo

@Avery I am an advocate. INFJ-A / INFJ-T

Avery

it actually asks you questions and judges on based on that

star signs are completely random

Boris_yo

@djsmiley2k Ah okay. You took the test?

Avery

08:19

born on redacted? you're now redacted.

Burgi

cheeky buggers

djsmiley2k

@Boris_yo not yet, but I've done previous tests

I know my own personality well, due to a large amount of introspection.

Avery

@Boris_yo I remember him having same results as me

well

my INTP/INTJ results were a couple months ago

djsmiley2k

I'm INTJ/INTP too, yes.

Avery

my personality and everything is a mess lately

I should try again but 3lazy.

djsmiley2k

08:20

but I'm a mess, physochologists hate me, 10 reasons why! #8 will shock you!

Boris_yo

@Avery I think my personality personality borders on another personality.

@djsmiley2k Introspection = working on yourself?

djsmiley2k

@Boris_yo understanding yourself is likely a better way of explaining it.

Burgi

i wish i was playing KSP

Boris_yo

@djsmiley2k You gain that insight based on past experiences, decisions and based on your behavior in situations?

Avery

I don't like KSP

well, both prev and current owners are terribad

the ones before paid like 300usd/mo to devs or smth to devs and committed tax fraud etc

Boris_yo

08:22

@Avery What do you mean star signs are random? There was no mention of star sign on test results.

Burgi

@Avery that looks very much like disgruntled employees

i can't find a legitimate, trusted source

Avery

08:26

@Burgi yes well, they were based in mexico city iirc

which has cheaper cost of life than US

but they still paid very low by average

reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/55vozd/…

comments talk about most of it

Burgi

but not squad themselves

Avery

yes

that'd be quite illegal

djsmiley2k

@Boris_yo anything that puts people into boxes is going to come out 'accurate' to a certain percentage of people.

Boris_yo

@djsmiley2k Law of averages?

Burgi

you need to take what disgruntled employees say with a large amount of salt

Boris_yo

08:31

Advocates are only 1% as they claim. Of course there will always be someone that matches description.

user226528

@Burgi O.o What was the original metaphor that you have distorted into this?

Burgi

@FleetCommand "pinch of salt"

user226528

You do realize that the object of metaphor here is "pinch" or "grain" not "salt", right?

Burgi

salt is bitter

normally a pinch is a small amount

but in cases where emotions distort the truth you need a larger amount of salt

Grain of salt

"(With) a grain of salt", (or "a pinch of salt") is an idiom of the English language, which means to view something with skepticism or not to interpret something literally. == History == Hypotheses of the phrase's origin include Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia, regarding the discovery of a recipe for an antidote to a poison. In the antidote, one of the ingredients was a grain of salt. Threats involving the poison were thus to be taken "with a grain of salt", and therefore less seriously. The Latin phrase cum grano salis ("with a grain of salt") is not what Pliny wrote. It is construc...

salt is the object of the metaphor

djsmiley2k

sallllllt

Burgi

08:36

see also dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/…

djsmiley2k

I'm with @Burgi on this.

Not sure why you think the 'pinch' matters -- the fact is a person who's left a company maybe 'bitter' about it, and therefore say things which aren't exactly the truth, or blown out of proportion.

user226528

@Burgi: Salt is not bitter; it is salty. Also, it is a taste modifier and sometimes an antidote too. In that capacity, you never consume an amount of it that counts as main food.

user226528

The metaphor is still valid if you replace "salt" with "pepper" or other seasonings.

user226528

Although, it won't be an idiot if you do that.

djsmiley2k

a pinch of pepper?

wut

it's still valid if you said 'a metric fu&kton of salt' too

infact, it makes even MORE sense

user226528

08:40

@djsmiley2k Oh, please. What do you Japs know about English? ;)

Burgi

regardless, raw salt leaves a nasty taste in the mouth

djsmiley2k

@FleetCommand Not sure what you mean by this?

user226528

NVM. That means my joke wasn't a good one.

user226528

Moving on...

Burgi

er...?

Bob

08:46

floof

user226528

Okay, let's see: What's the way to socialize with these people? Hmm... Burgi likes it when my sentences has a reference to a girl or girl-related stuff...

user226528

Alright. It is worth a try. @Burgi, considering that the world consists of girls too, would you say System Center is suitable for a small business?

Burgi

are you on glue today? ;)

user226528

ROFL!

user226528

Alright, let's forget about girls. System Center: Good for small businesses or no?

user226528

08:52

...

user226528

Hmm... No one has any idea?

Michael Frank

How small?

user226528

500 employees, 30 PCs, 5 laptops, the reminder are robots on a different dedicated network of their own.

Michael Frank

Is there a current system? Is the financially worth it?

user226528

Currently there is a Windows Server domain. The financial worth is part of the question.

user226528

08:59

Typo alert: I wrote 500 employees. I meant 50.

user226528

500 is actually the minimum number for a full-fledged Enterprise (the largest type of business.)

Burgi

is system centre like the old SBS?

user226528

@Burgi Do you by any chance mean"the old SMS"? SBS is Small Business Server. SMS is System Management Server, the precursor to System Center.

user226528

To be honest, I don't know whether any of the old copies of SBS had SMS in them.

djsmiley2k

Was going to say, how do 500 employees make use of 30 PC's ;) -- Was thinking you were running a shop or something.

user226528

09:09

Must have tapped "0" a millisecond longer than needed to write "0" and it became "00".

Journeyman Geek

@FleetCommand I try very hard but... :P

user226528

Fine. Since no one has any hands-on experience, let's forget System Center (which is more on topic) and talk about girls (which is off topic).

user226528

... or about dictators.

djsmiley2k

09:24

Female Dictators?

I think last time I said this, someone brought up Catherine the Great, and possibly Joan of Arc?

Journeyman Geek

One day.

Burgi

YAY!

@djsmiley2k bodacia?

user226528

@djsmiley2k Joan of Arc? She is not even in the same neighborhood as a dictator. She did serve under one though, who betrayed her and let her be burnt.

djsmiley2k

hmmm @FleetCommand I'm not that hot on my history, just know someone mentioned her... I think i questioned it too

user226528

Age of Empires II depicts the treason with a bit of dark humor: The king reinforcement ship arrives. From it, emerge one single foot soldier of the most basic type (club-wielding caveman) and one single rider of the most basic type.

user226528

Then, a voice (I assume the captain of the ship) says "That's all the king could afford to send."

djsmiley2k

@FleetCommand ;D

Burgi

i'm stuck on that campagin

Really? That's like the easiest campaign of the original AoE2.

user226528

In Barbarossa campaign, on Easy mode, I turtled up in one mission so perfectly that not until I played it on hard did I realized that I was supposed to be evicted from that position!?

Burgi

i thought the william wallace was the easy campagin

user226528

Oh, that. Sorry. Out of habit, I don't count tutorials part of the campaign.

user226528

Most games that I played separate tutorial from campaigns.

@FleetCommand this is where i got stuck: ageofempires.wikia.com/wiki/A_Perfect_Martyr

I think I am the only person who made it that far on Facebook searching people that it's Chrome tab takes over 1.6GB of RAM:

Facebook was not made for people search!

My SSD will start complaining soon...

Scrolling is slightly intermittent currently but slowly becomes more delayed.

djsmiley2k

how far down are you searching?!!?!

I just search for someone as their name is on a box that was with a load of rubbish dumped in the village.

is superuser a good fit for a question about adding a default gateway to a network switch....

/me ponders

meh i asked it on network engineering :/

Q: If I configure a default route for a switch, will it override the routing of the existing traffic?

In this instance it's a Extreme managed switch, but I guess this would apply on others too. Basically, I noticed we couldn't ping the switch, and eventually found this was down to the fact the switch itself didn't know where to route the packets in responding to the ping request. Now I've add a...

It's good on both.

But on Network Engineering you might get detailed answers.

@djsmiley2k Very far down. At least 40 minutes worth...

they missed the bit where you don't need to be a mechanic, to drive a car.
