@JourneymanGeek is it VITALLY NECESSARY to get the same memory?

No?

You'd loose out on a TINY bit of performance

so putting those 2400s in there would be okay with the 1866s?

how does your pet react when you show his friends on TV?

Reread my answer earlier and finally realized that as previously written, it did not answer the question:

1

Modern SSD controllers are smart enough that overprovisioning is not typically necessary for everyday use. However, there are still situations, primarily in datacenter environments, where overprovisioning is recommended. To understand why overprovisioning can be useful, it is necessary to underst...

Q: Would covering walls with a sound absorbing foam reduce the transmission of medium-high frequency fan noise?

I have recently purchased a server-grade computer, which works great, however, it is now audible even through a closed door. It is in a separate room, so I am thinking what are the best ways of sound-proofing it. Does covering the walls with a sound-absorbing foam make sense? My plan is to co...

sound-proofing

A Dell PowerEdge 2950 generates about 70-72 dBA. Not only is this loud, if you're in a quiet neighborhood or an apartment building, but it's loud enough that you can conceivably get a noise complaint filed against you.

Some rackmounts approach 80 dBA. Even if you sleep far from the server, expect to get a noise violation ticket if you're running it in an apartment and don't spend some time soundproofing it.

Even if you put it in another room and block out some of the noise within your unit, someone else in the building might very well be affected badly by noise.

@Dog that's a pretty significant change to my answer

@JourneymanGeek Yeah

Hence why I'm pointing it out in case you object. I think it preserves the intent of the original, but adds quite a bit you might not agree with

Also, if it the bounty were still up, I'd be annoyed and demand you post your own bounty ;p

As is though, yeah, it adds to the answer

I didn't do it for the rep

I had it open on my phone before I handed it in to Samsung intending to answer, but then Samsung had my phone for two weeks.

Oh, I often post those cause I know I can post a better answer than him ;p

I should start doing that

7:39 PM

Hey guys

I got some issues in some GP's can anyone give a hand ?

Group Policy?

8:16 PM

Yes

What's up?

Since 10 came up and mandatory profiles are just not doable 100% I got lucky creating one from sysprep

It's functioning well but I couldn't customize it cause some customization requires restarts and you cannot edit the MAN file or it will be corrupted

So I'm tweaking It through GPO now every time a user logs in

There's only Microsoft edge pinned in start menu I made a Ps script to unpin it ... and I deployed it via gpo on the users login but it's not deploying / working when the users logs in

It's driving me nuts .. the policy execution is unrestricted and I've tried it on user level and computer leve

Still no luck in running when a user logs in ... any suggestions ? Could it be the UAC stopping it from running ?

Does the PowerShell script run at all? You can test that by having it write to some file somewhere and then looking for that file

Yes it runs perfectly

On any PC even mine

If you run the unpinning command normally, does that work?

8:23 PM

Yea that's what I meant it unpins it

Even on the machines I'm trying to deploy it on if I run it manually it runs smoothly

Ah. Are you sure the PowerShell script is running at user logon?

It's not running that is the issue

Oh. How exactly did you set the script as the logon script?

From the gpmc > scripts > new scripts ( I already added it to sysvol folder ) I browsed for it selected it and added it from powershell tab and chose to run on user logon

Is there a place to add extra arguments to PowerShell? If so, try adding -executionpolicy bypass

8:36 PM

But execution policy is set to unrestricted via gpo I created but I will surely try that tomorrow when I hit the office

There's also the option of a traditional script that launches powershell.exe with the path to the script file

I need to look at that I don't think I've seen it before

8:49 PM

Pinning in the Win10 Start Menu via GPO or Script is a nightmare. The last place I saw that did it was doing it in some real hacky way.

9:07 PM

Trust me when you work with mandatory profiles on windows 10 that's not the only nightmare lol

9:20 PM

whats a mandatory profile?

at my work we have w10

> A mandatory user profile is a roaming user profile that has been pre-configured by an administrator to specify settings for users. Settings commonly defined in a mandatory profile include (but are not limited to): icons that appear on the desktop, desktop backgrounds, user preferences in Control Panel, printer selections, and more. Configuration changes made during a user's session that are normally saved to a roaming user profile are not saved when a mandatory user profile is assigned.

if anyone moves machine, it can take like an hour to pull down a profile :/

just soooooooo slow

oh i see

You log in, you get the mandatory profile.

so it's instead of a roaming profile?

Every. Single. Time.

Yes.

9:21 PM

read only profile...

right

could you not just gpo the hell outta the users instead

let them have their 'roaming' profile, which has permissions for nothing

no looking at the calendar, etc ;D

Always made me laugh when a user couldn't click the clock to get to the calendar due to permissions

2

Lol

Well I work in a university and there are lots of students

If everyone of them came to me telling me he messed up Microsoft word I wouldn't go back home for dinner .. simply log out login

And yes login time on w10 is Kinda slow idk why .. first login after restart or boot from shutdown takes 2 min approx next login after takes 35 to 45 seconds

But it's a peace of mind

it works when they don't need the ability to customise anything

9:43 PM

Well not to mention they are kids so they always and constantly try to wreck the system this profile helps me keep things in order too

@allquixotic So. TS3 uses cdecl. Not stdcall.

why didn't I look this up earlier :( forum.teamspeak.com/threads/58445-Chat-TTS-Plugin/page2

inc rage face cartoon

at least that explains the instability...

might try the C# one with cdecl tonight... just see if it works :P

11:03 PM

how stable is ts compared to mumble? I never have issues with mumble.

@MichaelFrank @Hennes Notice the grounds aren't connected...

@WHATEVERDave Not my place, though I got a bad wall outlet to at home. I pulled a cord out of it and the socket came loose from the wall.

Aye. I noticed.

@WHATEVERDave idk, I usually use mumble

depends on the server, I guess. client's pretty stable.

@Bob oh jeez.. I didn't even see that.

they have a client for android, i was considering trying to set up a ts server just to see how well it performed on my moto z.

i know plumble (mumble for android) supports overlay and opus codec, etc.. its pretty nice.

check that out

@Hennes: Im considering moving out of my place, the landlord sucks. The house is in horribe shape.

Our landlord is soo bad, you should see the tile work that they recently did to the bathrooms.

Supposedly the landlord does tile work for his business.

Into this:

niceee

And for a bonus, to edit the boot logo into anything I want ;p

is it still using the modified firmware?

Just waiting to my phone to finish charging and then I'll ~~brick it~~ test it

Oh it is..

Too bad android pay wont work on it now though.

:(

11:50 PM

Yeah, there's a (physical, IIRC) flag that gets permanently flagged when the bootloader is unlocked.

yeah a fuse probably

Also, to get the unlock code, you have to provide your IMEI and SSN-equivalent to Motorola, so they have the phone on a global database shared to repair centers (you lose the warranty)

yeah, too bad they only provide keys to international phones

I don't want the warranty back, just to get rid of the annoying screen.

but yeah.. ive seen it ;)

11:52 PM

@WHATEVERDave Really? Now that you mention it, I think I recall someone saying it here

I think they're still doing international only but it was only international last time i checked unless they recently changed it.

I know my phone has the ability to allow unlocking of the bootloader.

@ThatBrazilianGuy They can refuse to provide voluntary warranty, but this does not absolve them of any warranty obligations under law.

@WHATEVERDave No, not a modded firmware, I just unlocked the bootloader properly according to the official Motorola procedures, then installed TeamWin recovery and rooted the retail stock rom.

Read: if your country's law says so, they still need to fix stuff they broke/misbuilt

@Bob Yeah, I suppose so. However, I chose to wait for the warranty to expire prior to unlocking the bootloader.

@Bob Meh. Too much work. Bureaucracy levels in Brazil are kafkaesque++

11:54 PM

@ThatBrazilianGuy yea, was thinking more of EU, AU, etc.

@WHATEVERDave Really? Android Pay won't work on rooted phones, on custom ROMs or on any bootloader-unlocked device? 0_o

yep wont work :/ they verify the integrity of the rom on a block level

@Bob It probably also applies to Brazil, but probably it'd take me more time to get the official statement than the duration of the whole warranty, if experience serves me right.

you could probably factory image it and it will work again..

@WHATEVERDave ...unless you patch the Pay binaries :P

11:55 PM

perhaps*

@ThatBrazilianGuy tbh I have absolutely no idea of what Brazil's laws are, so...

@Bob: There may be a xposed module of some sort that does some hackery.. but it hasnt been updated in a very long time.

@WHATEVERDave No, I mean, I have the original, unmodded ROM on the phone. I just unlocked the bootloader and installed a new recovery (which I have the original and can re-apply).

Never could get android pay to work on my phone once i rooted my phone.

@Bob I suspect it would hold in court. But it's irrelevant to me as of now, because my warranty already expired.

11:57 PM

@WHATEVERDave root detection is different from unlock detection though

@ThatBrazilianGuy: Install android pay, you'll see right away when you try to install it if it will run or not anymore.

unless you mean after reflashing?
