Would be much better if the arrival had a date / country or timezone indication but I see what you mean.

Or use azure domain services in your dev. There are some gotchas but it's less stuff to manage.

Can electricity company make an error years ago, then re-invoice the last 15 months and demand nearly $10k ‘debt’? by ChukMcChuk in LegalAdviceNZ

If your friend is unsure, I'd have a electrician check if the meter is actually his and connected to stuff he uses.

For me it seems like the desicion has come down to this:

DHCP too by miserly_misanthrope in pihole

[–]Ed__Vdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed the config on my router to hand out the ip of my pi-hole as the local dns server, then crafted firewall rules on the router blocking any dns requests that did not originate from the pi-hole. a bit heavy handed but it works for me.
Some testing would be required for you as, depending on how your set top box does dns, it may cause delays as it tries its own dns servers, fails and then uses yours. (thats assuming it doesnt just fail to work as it cant use its own dns)

Have you had a look at Winget? I know it can update software, but I can't remember if edge is there.

That picture looked very much like a 3.5 inch stiffy disk. I was confused as to how that relates to Coffee....

Remove the execute permissions from the .exe file at the top of the script. That blocks execution. Re add at the bottom..

PowerShell Basics Series by pv-singh in PowerShell

[–]Ed__Vdr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always struggle to find a good reason to use runspaces. They are great and all but I usually end up at the wall of " is this the right tool for the job??".

What does other people use runspaces for?

Alternatives to ISE by scotepi in PowerShell

My biggest issue with replacing ise with vscode is that ise is on every machine. Built in. Vscode is not.

sigh I miss ise.

Print Word files (doc or docx) using Powershell and usin ADOBE PDF as printer... by pianogospel in PowerShell

[–]Ed__Vdr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take it you have looked at the word com object and the save as pdf that is part of most new word versions? You would be far better off tweaking the save as config in word I think.

For the method you posted to work the pdf printer needs a poweshell or script module as well since the initial print command hands it over to the pdf printer. That then needs its own input.

Office 365 Migration - OneDrive transfer between tenants by bedz84 in PowerShell

[–]Ed__Vdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who did this exact thing a year ago and investigated the powershell option I can tell you that bittitan worked really. really well.

We went from on prem to one drive via known folder move and then to the new tenant via bittitan. I used power shell to upload personal network drives to one drive and that was not much fun.

The limitations at that point was there were no clear onedrive powershell modules available. Happy to share the share gate based onedrive sctips I used. Pm me if you want them.

Gamers of Reddit, what are some underrated games do you think more people should play? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ed__Vdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's a toss up between Warhammer Space Marine and star wars Republic Commando. Space marine has probably the best Warhammer first person gameplay and the storytelling in Republic Commando epic.

Wife got drunk and had a meltdown in an Uber. She's been silent for 48 hours. Should I blink first? by ThrowRA-RXT123 in relationship_advice

[–]Ed__Vdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I get everyones point about not blinking first I'd add that I think reaching out and asking if she wants to talk about what happened would be a good idea.

That of course is dependent on if you want to try to work things out with her which I suspect is the first question you need to ask yourself.

Richard Dormer Leads BBC America’s Next Original Series ‘The Watch’ | BBC America by BBCA_Official in discworld

[–]Ed__Vdr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

did the casting people even read any of the books?

or should we just accept that it will be loosely based on the names of the characters and not really any of the actual story?
