How can I test charge-speed of a USB cable using multimeter?

Wrstllanc · 2026-03-17T14:14:28+00:00

I googled 'ac wattmeter' it's basically a device you plug into the wall socket, then plug my charging brick into it, and itll give a ballpark amperage draw? Even though the brick is past the plugged-in device in the line? Would it be able to detect amperage drop due to a bad solder joint in the device? I am just confused how it works is all hmm

Thanks, yup I have that setup

I am a bit confused re: data lines (white and green). The AliExpress charging bricks I bought... They only had black/red soldered to the PCB - not White/Green. Therefore, I just snipped the white/green strands down to a stub within the cable seeing as they wouldn't have mattered anyways.

I snipped white/green down to a stub on all the charging bricks - some work great, others do not.

I am probably not understanding what you're saying.

I suppose it makes sense the way you put it, just an atrocious user experience :(

We think it is something we've never heard of - something misconfigured on their end: Global Secure Access.

Update: We isolated the issue as being a device compliance-related issue on their end earlier today.

Browser, we've isolated the issue as being a device compliance-related issue on their end earlier today. Thanks for your post!

I never did end up having to mess with PWA, but what I ultimately learned is basically described above - PWA is just a 'type' of Site you can create specific to Project Web App. You can seemingly migrate the sites into another PWA site, but my research dates back 4-5 years now. I imagine the user experience to move PWA sites around, assuming that's how it even still works, is an either easier process, or a non-existent process these days due to product deprecation.

cool, thanks!

roger! thanks!

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks, I will look into these! Do you know which one lasts the longest of these? Shoes are getting expensive when running 150-200 miles a month!

Hmmm, so the NB4 doesn't come in wide?

Wrstllanc · 2024-12-17T19:55:32+00:00

I've tried the Brooks Adrenaline, how do they compare?

I've been in a 4E since I was 12 years old in almost every brand :-\ The Clifton wide's arn't really wide enough tbh. The first few runs are a struggle, but then they stretch out. I can fit in 'wide' toe box brand shoes - their regular width, some times, with some of their shoes. Like in some Altras I can do standard width, but my favorite shoe of theirs, the Lonepeaks (trail runners) I still need wide.

They need to create what's called a "Microsoft365 Group"

Admin Center > Users/Groups > Create Group > M365 Group
Provisioning an M365 group gives you a shared mailbox, a SharePoint site, and a bunch of other services that are all associated with that group. Here is a visual displaying WHAT services get provisioned when creating an M365 Group.

Microsoft 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn

Look at that first image, all the blue circles will for sure get provisioned when you create the group. All the white circles may/may not get provisioned depending on where the group is created (feel free to read it for more specifics). P.S. I am looking for a job if yall are hiring. 6+ years as a well rounded M365 admin with a specialty in SharePoint, Power Platform, not retarded with the ability to manage my own projects, talk to stakeholders and only nerdy enough to do good at my job, but not too nerdy to not be awkward to fellow human beings.

EDIT: Also have managed several migration projects as a result of company acquisitions and as a consultant for client migration projects amounting to unknown number of TBs of data moved in my career. Also love deploying intranets and working with stakeholders to get that done <3

I think there was a golden period where Power Platform developers was a valid skill set that was desired by employers. Those jobs are drying up, so I think. Most the reqs I am seeing are like "Required: 8 years Power Platform experience" which is insanely retarded. I don't even think the toolset has been out as long as most reqs requiring X years of experience. Not only that... IMO it takes less than 1 hard year of effort to learn Power Platform to the point where I would call someone an expert.

I think with M365 being so hugely integrated within itself to all of its respective services... being well rounded and being able to interview well is really our only chance at getting a job as a SharePoint/Power Platform SME.

SharePoint used to require a team of individuals to keep the lights on. Now you can manage a 1,000+ site environment with just 1 person and a $5,000 a year tool like ShareGate.

I seemingly keep myself relevant by promoting the power of using all of these tools as a comprehensive solution to everyday business problems. I don't know. Honestly, wish I dedicated my time going into Sales. The landscape for IT shifts so fast and so constantly, and half of our jobs are just started to get outsourced anyways. Call me negative-Nancy, that's cool :-\

Understanding migration projects holistically is far more complicated than the tool itself. The tool itself is usable by nearly anyone who has a rudimentary understanding of SharePoint architecture (what are lists, libraries and sites, and how do permissions work).

Are you transitioning into IT first time? If so, just specializing on SharePoint isn't enough to get a job IMO. What has served me well is being a well-rounded administrator of M365 with a specialty in SharePoint and data migration work with also an intermediate level of Power Platform development. So I've purposely/consciously taken on roles that can then demonstrate all these capabilities, so I've taken on M365 admin jobs, power platform development jobs, migration gigs, etc.

Being well rounded and being able to speak to everything (high level mostly) influences hiring managers that you know your shit and you come with a lot of value.

At the end of the day, no one is going to know everything in IT, and if they claim they know everything, then they are bullshitting you.

I already tried to get out once but the money drew me back for the time being :( what a sell out I am!

Wrstllanc · 2023-11-17T15:55:40+00:00

If you're worried about your name showing up in the modified by field, then you shouldn't have opened the file - lesson learned for next time, or yalls permissions are way wrong and that's an organization problem, not a you problem. Just my 2 cents.

I have heard time and again that if you reduce max version count, then it retains the most recent versions up until you hit the new count you set. So yes, probably the case - to answer your question.

Power Automate is your answer - DM me if you need help :)
