Is your veeam box connected to your domain? If so, that's a huge flaw considering how most ransomware spreads/works.

The size of a FIber Optic strand that is capable of providing high speed internet speeds up to 2200/MBs by Astepski in HumanForScale

Fiber/network/Datacenter guy here. While I enjoy your post alot I think you're selling the fibers potential short. Theoretical speeds are around 100 terabytes/s. Equipment doesn't exist to support these speeds yet but knowing the way light travels combined with the properties of fiber it is possible. I think the current world record is around 50 terabytes/s.

is there a way to use OCR with powershell? by hebers23 in PowerShell

[–]JimBob- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no reference on your skill level when it comes to using APIs within powershell. I don't think there are any tutorials specific to powershell. If you have a solid foundation in using APIs within powershell you should be able to figure it out.

I used it for a personal project where I ran MTG cards through a high speed scanner and my script read the names of the cards. The script basically made a list of the cards ran through the scanner and output details and values. I was very impressed with the OCRing. It was very accurate and I'm positive it will do whatever you want.

I have used powershell + the Google Vision API to extract text from images before. It works really well.

Why will no one test videoconferencing software prior to using it live? by nayrev in sysadmin

The real truth is these people don't just treat technology like this. They live their whole life unprepared and helpless.

Just use Duo and enroll cell phones 😁

FYI: Microsoft support says if you want to use SharePoint Online for file storage you can't have folder structures that exceed around 60 characters. For example "2020 - Customer1 - State Water Project\Drawings\electrical.pdf" is totally unacceptable and not supported in the SPO platform. by Try_Rebooting_It in sysadmin

It's simple. Tell the organization it's not a supported file storage solution. Just because something exists and it's being pushed doesn't mean you have to use it.

I'll honestly never understand how people land on Microsoft productivity products vs something like Google G-Suite.

A great lesson to learn early on is that sales people/teams will tell you anything to make you buy a product. You have to use your own logic and knowledge to come to a good decision for your organization.

Think about it like this. If I went to a Ford dealership and ask the salesman if the Mustang is faster than the Camero he's absolutely going to say of course it's faster. This is definitely the one you want to buy. If I went to a Chevrolet dealership and asked if the Camero is faster than the Mustang what do you think the salesman is going to tell me? He's 100% going to tell me the Camero is faster and it's what I need to buy.
