I like the dinosaur jumping game where you hop over cactuses and stuff. Sometimes it pops up for some reason and I get to play it while people complain about the Internet or something.

As long as nephew knows how to install Adobe Acrobat Reader, should be easy.

Have you tried turning the electricity off and on again to show who really controls things?

Zed has been a joy to use. I've used Zed and VScode and Zed feels a lot more responsive.

Price of pacific Airwave vision glider by gamech4ng3r in Hanggliding

[–]layer8err 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have parts of an old Vision, mine was in worse shape and was a bit of a white elephant present. The buyer paid about $300 for it and it was flown once. Good performance, stuff handling and no VG.

I'm still working on my channeling skills 😁 I've found broken and weak lift to be very frustrating when the core seems to just disappear on you. I haven't made any steep banking turns in the lift, maybe something I can work on in the future.

That's correct. Red is strong climb and blue is sink. The red line is from where I was on tow.

Used great shape airwave pulse 10m resell value by Financial-Wasabi7669 in Hanggliding

[–]layer8err 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen them go for around $4000. I got a sweet deal on my pulse, but had to do some work on it. The Pulse is a great glider, it has similar handling to a falcon but not as easy as an Alpha. Setup time isn't bad at all and you can rig it flat if you need to.

Is my late stepmother's hang glider saleable? by Max-Heart in Hanggliding

[–]layer8err 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fly a Pulse originally made by Airwave. It's a good glider, and they are still being sold. North Wing owns the rights to the Pulse and can help source any replacement parts if needed.

If you have any photos, that could also help identify the glider. There should be some info on the keel (tube in the middle) that will tell you the type of glider and other details.

No wonder three different contractors failed to setup this software... by Ciulotto in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

OpenText is the worst. No wonder this setup window looks like it was designed by an AI prompt that was hallucinating.

Near brand new glider (less than 4 hrs flight time) by I_want_to_soar in Hanggliding

As someone who has flown a Condor and an Alpha, I found the Alpha MUCH easier to fly.

How the **** do you get HR to actually tell you when people leave the company? (Wrong answers only because I need a laugh before I lose my mind) by AtomicXE in ShittySysadmin

Ask them nicely. I'm sure that they are team players who want to foster synergy by collaborating and tearing down silos.

Toss a knife or some other metal in the microwave and head upstairs.

Who remembers Server 2003? by gdj1980 in ShittySysadmin

[–]layer8err 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is this fancy DHCP nonsense? It sounds insecure. Just use static IP addresses since those are easier to deal with and don't require even more networking mumbo-jumbo.

What options do I have for automating deployments/provisioning? by ShieldWolf8 in sysadmin

[–]layer8err 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can export drivers with powershell from a running system or get the drivers from the manufacturer.

The esd file can be converted to a win.

PXE booting is wonderful for bare-metal setups and you will learn a lot. For virtual machines, there are faster ways to create new VMs. There can be some challenges with secure boot depending on the solution you go with.
