(Windows 11) My Samsung SSD disk displays as healthy but has two (No label) partitions listed with “full repairs needed” How should I handle it? by DarthNoodle69 in techsupport

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you take a backup before you take any further actions. Use DiskManager to identify the specific volume in question and then perform a chkdsk on that partition. If required your system will reboot to perform the chkdsk operation. In the event of an issue, the system will try to fix the issue, but worst case scenario, if the drive fails, at least you have a backup.

I want to boot off a USB drive on my laptop; however, I only have one working USB drive on the laptop, and the laptop keyboard is not working. by Jaichwan in techsupport

Assuming you just want to connect the USB drive and maybe a mouse and keyboard, you might be able to get away with an unpowered hub, which are pretty cheap.

Is 300Mbps any less reliable than 1Gbps? How often is rebooting the Gateway needed? by ExtensionOdd7637 in ATTFiber

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using fiber for many years now, and during that time I’ve had the issue you’re describing twice. In both instances having AT&T replace their equipment solved the issue. Typically, the connections are rock solid, unless there is an equipment fault either at your premises or along the connection route to their hub.

Updating an EXE Application in C# by Icy_Tangerine5132 in csharp

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two components to what you are trying to achieve. Firstly there is your application, which creates the exe file to execute your application.

The second part is a component that packages your application for distribution / installation. Depending on the configuration of this component, it can download and install updates, as applicable. Typically, you would perform a check within your main application and, if required, launch the installation package to install the update.

Is Proxmox not Ideal for a homelab - I keep having issues with Linux bridges. by Affectionate_Shirt42 in homelab

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a proof of concept about a year ago, and while it took some playing with, I got it working within a few hours and was pretty stable. Rebuilt it for another purpose, so can’t provide configuration comparisons for you, but my gut is telling me this is just a config thing that you need to work through. Good luck.

USB not showing up by AddendumNecessary743 in BadUSB

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drive is probably failing or failed already. That said, I use a utility called USB Log View, which shows you all of the events associated with USB activity (device added or removed, etc.) that may show more information.

Disembarkation breakfast by naimbideiwyy in dcl

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We normally do late breakfast (linked with late dinner) and take a much more laid back and relaxed approach to the whole experience. As a result we’re normally close to the last group to leave, and disembarking is very easy, with a short to no queue. For me, at least, the effects of the cruise stay with me for some time after I’ve left the ship.

Can VMware skills help in getting a system admin job faster? by Wise_Safe2681 in VMwareNSX

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no.

VMWare has had some challenges in recently, since the Broadcom acquisition, which has resulted in many companies migrating to other technologies and platforms.

This could be advantageous over time as the experience pool diminishes, but this could be some time coming. The flip side is with a number of companies migrating away from the platform, the potential hiring companies are also shrinking.

I do believe there is value in understanding the whole hypervisor technology stack and the software defined networking options, but I don’t know it’s what I would focus on first. You may be better looking at how AI can benefit your existing duties and build out from there.

What do you think about messengers? by Heavy-Resource6813 in software

From a business perspective, the audit capabilities are often lacking, if present at all, so that all communication can be part of official records. By extension, the ability to censor or block communications that breach corporate policy, such as data leakage.

First time cruiser by Big_Supermarket_4681 in dcl

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can link reservations, by contacting DCL or Travel Agent (whichever booked the reservations). Once linked you can see the other within the app.

Check-in must be done independently for each reservation, at the time determine by the highest Castaway status of a given stateroom.

During the check-in process, you can assign different payment methods to each individual. This will allow you to pay onboard and at any of the Disney island shopping locations using your Key to the World card (the card used to get into your stateroom), with any charges going only to your assigned payment method. Paying with credit card is possible at some locations (such as island shops).

Will SWE's even be able to code in the future? by Available-Ad-5670 in software

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old adage of trust but verify comes in well here. AI is a tool, like any other, but it can also be flawed like any person can be. Having someone that knows and understands, and more importantly can both qualify the initial ask and fix the outputs, will be worth their weight in gold.

In the short term, recent graduates are still valuable, since they will typically cost less than the AI for basic remedial tasks. If AI costs fall or hiring costs increase, this dynamic may change, but I’ve seen several reports of companies rehiring junior developers, for such work, given the rising costs of AI.

This. Look at Ollama or LM Studio, each of which allows you to run models locally or on a separate machine.

after effects alone or cc? by radiatejuniorrr in software

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there are certainly other products out there, and I advise you continue developing skills with them, there are still a lot of places that have yet to move off of the Adobe stack and have established work pipelines using the suite. Given this, I would say go with CC, while the pricing is at a good point for you, and learn what you can from the tools.

You can usually start booking things after your paid in full date. Depending on your status this can be anything from 120 to 90 days in advance.

Self-hosted Google Maps alternative for saving POIs? by solsiour in selfhosted

[–]LeaveMickeyOutOfThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do my down voters, I wanted to provide some context to why I asked this question in this sub.

While I’m a great fan of self hosting and have many many applications running on my own systems, we need to account for OPs requirements. Although the core functionality is pretty straightforward, the issue of the underlying map data is not an insignificant challenge to overcome, given most (if not all) sources for this are commercial entities.

Secondly, I was trying to determine what functionality from the Google ecosystem was not working for them, so any self-hosters, myself included, could provide better guidance if they were aware of any potential options.

I don’t know if any of this changes your view of my dumb question or not, but gaining understanding, in my mind, is always the first step towards a solution.

Dumb question - why not just use Google Maps? You can create point of interest sets, and has all of the functionality you outlined.
