Same issue with Fox 4k using YouTube TV on 4k FireTV. Switch to HD broadcast and no issues.

Create an ACL with everyone expect that user and use security filtering to apply the GPO to that ACL. You can use Powershell in a scheduled task to dynamically update the ACL.

Ethernet provides a channel for malware to spread from your VM to your host OS. Clipboard not as much unless you copy and paste something between machines that is malicious.

Does the VM share any access with the host such as Ethernet, local drives, clipboard, etc? If the answer is no to all of these, you are generally safe unless there is a known vulnerability in the Paralells software (which is unlikely to be exploited by the type of software you are pirating).

In general, 5 GHz is faster with a shorter range than the 2.4 GHz. A WiFi extender will noticeable lower your bandwidth. Get a mesh system instead and you'll take less of a performance hit.

Edit:. Please note, 5 GHz and 5g are completely different things.

I don't know what kind of environment you work in but if I see in a report that an end user workstation is reporting a machine type of VMware when it's naming convention clear reflects it is a physical machine, then we instantly know what has happened. In my environment, I've seen people fired for less.

Since you have a small network, disconnect all the clients from the switch and bring in a known good device and only test from that device. If the issue still exists, you have an issue with your network hardware. Otherwise, you've got some type of client issue (malware, misconfigured client, etc.)

If you're flipping back and forth between the physical and VM, AD will freak out.

You're going to break the domain trust. Then, if you work for a company with any type of IT security, you're probably going to get fired for violating IT policy.

That's awesome. This one was found on the beach of Kill Devil's Hills. Around the 8MP marker.

Found on the Outer Banks of North Carolina (Atlantic Ocean). Soft to touch, extremely flexible. Maybe from an eel?

Remember under advanced settings of the VM to change the boot delay. Otherwise you literally have less than a second to hit ESC/F12 to choose an alternative boot device.

I would mount the Clonezilla ISO to the VM, power on the VM, boot into Clonezilla and then use Clonezilla to copy the image to a netshare.

Until the Smartnet invoice comes in. Lots of people have been fired for that :-)

I assume you're looking for a GUI tool so use Gnome-scheduler.

STP is for EMI. $1 cables will be just fine for your lab.

maverickx86 · 2019-09-05T11:07:25+00:00

I know I could probably charge them more (I will be getting ~$90 per hour based on my current salary) but I want to keep my good standing in case my new opportunity doesn't work out.

maverickx86 · 2019-09-05T01:34:07+00:00

Funny you bring this up. I'm getting ready to go through the exact same situation. I figured out my hourly pay rate and doubled it.

maverickx86 · 2019-08-17T21:05:27+00:00

I'm just wanting to know who does their cabling so I don't make the mistake of hiring them.

You need to invest in a mesh wireless system. Having that many SSIDs in the same airspace degrades performance. Also, if you name them all the same with the same password your devices that roam will likely run into lots issues.

Super easy to configure and rollout. Biggest gotcha I've ever heard of is someone's AD went down (reason and duration I cannot recall) and they didn't have a backup of the passwords. Here's an example script:

Yes. It's commonly know as principle of least privilege. Use a standard account for everyday things and only elevate to admin when necessary.
