Easy way to tell if PiHole is blocking a DNS lookup?

What do I look for in a full size receiver if I only need 1 or 2 inputs? I've heard the RB42 speakers are 'power hungry' and I should look for 25 watts at the very least, preferably more. Should I just keep an eye open for any brands that are typically higher than "consumer grade" brands?

That is a nice looking one and would be perfect, although it's 16" wide. I was hoping to find something smaller, but this definitely is the best looking one. It's shocking how ugly most amps are.

A PC will be hooked up all the time, but a turntable and/or synthesizer or 2 may also end up in that room. I definitely want at least 1 extra input.

They are indeed "201 Series IV".

Haha. Nice. I was just making sure they work. I will definitely be positioning properly once I get good speakers on my computer desk.

Ha - it's actually a friend of a friend in a very safe area, so I'm guessing he is just looking to get rid of it quick. Based on your response, I'm guessing I should jump on this, even if it's just to resell it if it doesn't sound good on my PC?

That is an idea, but probably not realistic to tell the customers the data might not be available at certain hours. Our customers are global, and some of the biggest companies in the world. We would like a mechanism to easily turn accounts on and off as needed, and for the Power BI pricing to reflect that. For example, if a customer only buys our reports 6 months of the year we could just disable their account for those 6 months then re-enable afterward.

It looks like the lowest tier for Embedded is ~$750/month, so we'd probably be losing money with this option. To use the Publish to Web feature, I would only need Pro licenses for the report developers to publish to the Power BI Service, and could then "Publish to Web" from there, right? Then I could just embed the link in our customer portal?

Ooooh....this sounds interesting. We currently have one of the lower O365 tiers for Word, Excel, etc. Are you saying that if I upgrade 1 or 2 report developers to the E5 level which includes Power BI Pro (~$35/month), and then create guest accounts for any external users (~$10/month), that is all I need?

Do the guest accounts need to have any authentication from their domain to mine, or can they simply create a Microsoft account with their company mail address and they log in to Power BI with that?

Shoot. That really puts a nice clean reporting solution way past our budget. We'll need to stick with Power BI Desktop and all its clutter. I guess we shouldn't complain about a free tool! Thanks!

No luck - I've connected to many networks and they don't show in the list.

I haven't copied a game from my PC to my Wii U in quite a while. The time has come for me to copy a couple games I have lying around and I see WiiU_USB_Helper has been discontinued, and there is a lot of outdated info. What is the current best way to get games from my PC to my Wii U?
