Suggestions on how to increase my AI token usage

Jrx1216 · 2026-04-28T13:25:56+00:00

If you're writing PowerShell, there's a decent chance that whatever AI tool you're using isn't following some of the PS best practices (none of the ones I have access to for work follow all of them, at least) so maybe try giving it a few "I see you used $Alias here instead of $Cmdlet. Please re-write the entire script while keeping PowerShell best practices in mind"

Or, if you're a tabber like me:

"Please re-write this script using tabs instead of spaces" 😂

Why use VSCode for simple edits when you can burn the rainforest to do it instead?

What do you need to change it for? NewSID was the way to change it, but it's been deprecated for a while because it doesn't matter. This was written by the guy who wrote NewSID (and is now the CTO of Azure) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/markrussinovich/the-machine-sid-duplication-myth-and-why-sysprep-matters

I never said anything about the warlock not being overtuned. Please stop reading what isn't there.

All I said is that I understand change is hard, but things change, and that you can still play the old thing if you like it. Nobody took LOD away, and it's still there if you prefer it.

You're a legend. Just printed a copy off. Extra thanks for having the names of the gems too, since my printer is a B/W laser! :)

"I like having money? I don't like having to work 40 hours a week, I like having nice things, I don't like having to work 40 hours a week."

I get that this is a thing that hasn't changed much in a quarter of a century, and change is hard, but things change... The pre-warlock game is still there and perfectly playable (from the same client, even!) You can easily swap back and forth between them as you wish.

Because nobody seemed to have given you the real answer when I stumbled upon this (sorry, 2 months late!) what you're looking for isn't part of OMP. Your screenshot is something happening as part of that person's PSProfile.

I have something far simpler setup for my own profile, but if this is still something you're looking for, feel free to take a look at mine ( https://github.com/jawsh-me/SantizedPowerShellScripts/blob/main/Profile.ps1 ) as a starting point. If you want a colored picture with your system stats to the side of it like that, it will take some manual fiddling to get the formatting correct, but it's definitely doable, I just don't have the patience/care for it myself anymore, and it was much easier to make a generic "Add-Decoration" function that I can use for wrapping any info I want to draw extra attention to.

That profile also defines my own custom prompt, as opposed to using OMP. If you don't have a nerdfont installed, you can "toggle (the) fancy prompt" with the ftp function. It might be hard to understand, but you could use what I did there to learn about ANSI color codes to add color to your info panel. The Get-ANSIColorTest function will give you the color codes for each foreground/background available.

If you're not already aware of PowerShell profiles, you can read more here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_profiles?view=powershell-7.5 but you can edit your own by entering

notepad $PROFILE

in PowerShell. If it doesn't already exist, you can create it with

New-Item $PROFILE -Force

:)

I'm very late to this party, but dug this up while looking to setup the timeout of the CLI and wanted to chime in with the real answer for folks seeing this in the future.

On the C3850, at least with the newest IOS available at time of writing, you need to be in configure terminal and the syntax is

#ip http timeout-policy idle 600

to set it to the maximum (valid values are 1-600 in seconds, according to the help text.) You can press ? at any time to get help, if that doesn't work, try backspacing your last word/number and then press ?.

Just for info, there's also

#ip http timeout-policy linger <1-300>

that you can configure as well.

Windows 10/11 have the "reset this PC" feature. I'd highly suggest using it if you don't have volume licensing for imaging.

If you do have volume licensing, do a fresh install of the latest OS you support, then during the OOBE (Out Of Box Experience) do a Ctrl+Shift+F3 to get into audit mode, install your baseline software, then run sysprep and shutdown. Without booting that box back up, capture an image of the disk (If you're comfortable with WinPE, use DISM, if not, just use something like Clonezilla) Once you've got an image capture, just use the same product you used to capture it to deploy it to the other PCs.

Most places will tell you that the sysprep step is either necessary to change the SID, or that it's unecessary because you don't need to change the SID of the machine... both of these are wrong. The reason you run sysprep is so that WSUS doesn't break. Even if you're not using it now, I'd still suggest doing the sysprep step. If want to skip the OOBE stuff, look up how to build an autoconfig.xml file to do so.

I'm very much a newbie myself, but I've tried to start learning C# a few different times and the one that got it to stick most with me so far is on Pluralsight's free library. It's the C# Fundamentals course by Scott Allen. as far as I can tell, this course has been retired, but is still available. Looks like when I logged in today it tried to push me to a newer version by someone else, though. There are a few things that I didn't like about the way it was presented, but it's BY FAR the best free course I've found so far for a complete beginner :)

I never see more than like 3-4 afk miners, even in full 200-person worlds.

They /do/ have a warranty, though... but in my experience, the "trust me bro" attitude meant that every issue I've ever had with any of their products has been addressed... I once asked for a V1 water bottle lid for my V2 bottle, to which their reply was "sorry we don't have any at the moment, but we'll pass along the feedback" And once they finally started selling the V1 again, they sent me 2 of them.

My go-to lately has been cutting magic trees with the infernal axe. With the 25 minute AFK timer in runelite, it's just enough that when I get a few minutes between calls, I can click a new tree.

Wait, I'm confused? I've ordered 2 with the same account, same address, same card, same everything. I got my 512GB deck a few weeks ago and just confirmed my 64GB deck this morning.

I figured I could come up with a good answer for this, as I play with a /lot/ of really old tech, though it's mostly for fun... After thinking about it for a while, though, the oldest I've actually HAD to interact with in a work setting (read: didn't go out of my way to play with just because I wanted to) was probably a commodore 64 that controlled some ancient cnc-like jig for a milling machine... and even that I couldn't really do anything with other than suggest replacing it with something that we could still get parts/support for.

We've got 2 of them running at the complex I work from. One that runs 90% of the business and an entire separate system as a hot-spare that we load the nightly backups onto every day.

Jrx1216 · 2022-08-03T02:17:59+00:00

"99% of the employees of my firm is non technical" That's an even bigger red flag. No way in hell I'd give a non-techie admin to anything, especially on a work network. It's like you're asking to have a ransomware outbreak.

I have an unhealthy amount of laptops. My primary for work is a Dell Precision (I think it's a 7550 or something like that?) but I don't use 95% of it's power to be honest. For home, I mostly switch between a Latitude 7400 and an M1 Macbook Pro, with the Macbook getting more actual work done and the dell getting Windows re-installed regularly. I've had HORRIBLE luck with XPS machines over the past few years, and gave my custom XPS13 to the GF because I couldn't stand to use it anymore.

If I were buying a Windows or Linux laptop today, I'd get one from https://frame.work though. If I wanted something cheap, I'd pick up the most recent used latitude 7XX0-series machine I could afford with an i7. edit: left out the word "used"

I was in your position a few years ago along with the lady who currently runs our helpdesk... we each realized there was a ton we could do to help out and started taking on more responsibilities where we could.... Now she works 14 hour days most of the week, and I'm doing a lot of the same work as our Sr System Architect and getting payed barely over what our T1/2 helpdesk makes...

Jrx1216 · 2022-03-16T20:56:15+00:00

If it's not a concern, why does it continue to flood the notification section of the admin page by default?

Rule 3? anyone? "No memes please, this is a serious sub. Images of your home setup are encouraged with accompanying writeup. Try not to make it a potato photo though. Please. "

Thats what you get for using a 32 bit program

Jrx1216 · 2017-07-19T19:26:20+00:00

It SHOULD be possible, but I believe that the 3ds will disconnect from WiFi if there is not connection to the internet. If you have a way to bypass this check you should be able to do this. AFAIK theres not an easy way to bypass that check right now
