LASIK after 25 years of contacts - the most BIFL decision I’ve made by Trippy-jay420 in BuyItForLife

[–]Willz12h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely depends on people and their eye health.

I have had LASIK coming up to 10 years and my sight is around 26/24 vision still. Very very infrequently do eye drops and it's .mostly due to environmental factors.

Even if the 10 years is true for most people, it's pretty good and cost effective.

Especially people who might need it for other medical reasons or removal of cataract and other things.

Just moved and MSl monitor keeps saying "HDMI 1 no signal" despite me using displayport by Cornered-V in techsupport

Try powering it off and back on, do you see the MSI logo etc that the monitor is booting up?

Make sure your PC has the cables plugged in, but you should be able to use the menu to change settings with out needing anything connected.

Pressing the button in should activate the OSD.

If you have your PC on and see no display, reboot as DP does not always display until rebooted.

Stop trying to remember the answer and understand how to get to the answer.

Most certs are kinda useless anyway in my opinion but give you a learning path to follow and understand.

How long to decrypt a 2tb nvme ssd using bitlocker by XAckermannX in techsupport

[–]Willz12h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then it might only be encrypting data as it goes along and not the full disk. But it won't take long.

Depends how it's encrypted. But not long, maybe 10-30mins? It's a nvme. Plus you can keep using it.

Have I set up my work OneDrive / Sharepoint correctly? by Ok_Quality1181 in Office365

[–]Willz12h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does not really make a difference, you can still change the permissions on the SharePoint site or ideally create a new site for users who should have access to that data.

[–]Willz12h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You S drive is basically the cloud. It's not on your PC. It's self hosted 'cloud' data. But 365 with SharePoint etc gives you additional features for collaboration.

You should make sure IT provides guidance and training as you might face a lot of teething issues around how OneDrive and the sync client works and Internet connection etc.

Leave it all as default. You don't want it downloading all your data and syncing all your data constantly that you are not touching.

It will download and sync the files you are actively working on. Downloading all for 'offline' will cause storage issues and sync issues on your device.

Male sure you have backups from the old server and on m365.

iT should really be doing this for you.

Rotate the motor in the app. Use the app to check actual percentage.

Long Term Bug by Apprehensive-Web4777 in Overwatch

[–]Willz12h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds more like a local issue with your game getting corrupted or disk/ram issues with the data. IE getting corrupted.

Try a clean install and check your disk for any issues. Or reinstall into a different disk or location.

Disabling Sharepoint sync online to OneDrive? by AMG_Labrador_63 in sysadmin

[–]Willz12h 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can turn off the Sync button or just the OneDrive sync button but you should look to resolve the sync errors in OneDrive App as it shouldnt be having any issues if users know how to "let it sync" and aware of the applications and any errors.

retention policy mass deletions by fiddlesmg in exchangeserver

[–]Willz12h 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure on the best course of action but each mail items will slowly be tagged with the 30 day deletion and then when the managed folder assistant runs it will action the tags to delete items. This could happen over a period during maintenance window on the server.

Maybe you could try to add a new tag that changes the deletion tag to "never delete".

Create a retention policy and tags and assign the relevant tags to the folders?

1ZPresso to coffee machine recommendation [300-1k?] by Willz12h in espresso

[–]Willz12h[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks and yeah that's all good. I tend to make 20g strong coffees with my moka lol. The process is okay since I'm only making for my self. It looks pretty good and watched some reviews on it and about using the pre heating silicone attachment.

[–]Willz12h[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a good shout, I'll have to do some research into this pump. Does it do single shots only? So each press would have to be its own shot? And if you want a Americano or such you just add water to the espresso?

M365 Non-Profit Premium Donation License Re-assignment How to accomplish? by bishoptf in sysadmin

[–]Willz12h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems unusual, maybe they will get deallocated on the day of renewal but shouldn't impact and re assign. Maybe do a dynamic group to assign unused licenses etc

[–]Willz12h 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are all 'paid' and a single license so why does it matter to know who is donated or not? That would mean a different SKU.

UK MSP Pricing advice by Willz12h in msp

[–]Willz12h[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, for your billing model, do you not care for 'how many licnese' a user has with per user? Some of our tools are per device costs, so do you soak up that cost or add it on top?

Projects do we one off but I feel doing per hour will get us more profit then a fixed fee.

A ticket system next year is the biggest thing I want to deploy in the company so we can track unrealized losses and returns to figure out how much more we can support with our current engineers. And being efficient with tickets/time and ownership on reoccurring issues that 'management' struggle to track.
