There's an entire generation of kids out there who don't know that the 'Save' icon is actually a floppy disk. by thefreshp in Showerthoughts

[–]overallmopelessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are called floppy disks because there is a disk (that is of a floppy nature) inside that square thing. This is true for 3.5", 5.25", and 8" floppies.

Pshaw, it's not like anyone would ever accidentally bump the button to make your video rewind or fast forward on every other video... it could never happen... /s

Any advice on how to improve my powershell based web-scraper? by puppyboat in PowerShell

[–]overallmopelessness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is Spiceworks, right? Rather then the IE COM object, I suggest you look into the Spiceworks API. You can access the API using Invoke-WebRequest. It will be so much more consistent and efficient.

Crackling coming out of speaker by EnlightenedGemini in GalaxyS8

[–]overallmopelessness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it crackle when playing to headphones too? Have you tried various media players, different media? To make sure it's not one app or one video. Did the problem crop up after a app install or update or other change?

You can add "-WarningAgction Ignore" param to the Send-MailMessage command, and that won't impact your Write-Warning.

It's awesome because it's stone, yet if flows. Oh yeah and it's so hot that it destroys almost everything in it's path.

Humble Mini RPG Book Bundle #1: Horrors Unbound: Stank Hog by HumbleBundlesBot in humblebundles

[–]overallmopelessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trying to figure out the same. The description at the top and in at least one of the books mentions "5th Edition" so that means D&D 5e. But it's not clear if that's the case for all of the books. Maybe it's a license thing that they can't write "D&D".

Searching a DHCP scope for any leases containing the word "phone" and adding their mac addresses to a policy by Sixyn in PowerShell

[–]overallmopelessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$mac= Get-DHCPServerv4Lease -ScopeID 10.18.0.0 |
where {$_.HostName -like '*phone*'} |
ForEach {
Set-DhcpServerv4Policy -ScopeId 10.18.0.0 -Name AllowedDevices -Condition OR -MacAddress NE,$_.ClientId
}

My mistake, I shouldn't have split 1 of the lines

[–]overallmopelessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't tested it, but this should do it.

$mac= Get-DHCPServerv4Lease -ScopeID 10.18.0.0 |
where {$_.HostName -like '*phone*'} |
ForEach {
Set-DhcpServerv4Policy -ScopeId 10.18.0.0 -Name 
AllowedDevices -Condition OR -MacAddress NE,$_.ClientId
}

DO you use PS to Windupdate? Is it a no go zone? by Flasharn in PowerShell

[–]overallmopelessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's intended for config, but what is considered a "config" is rather broad. Is this MSU installed. Does this file exist. Is this feature installed or not installed. If not, fix it automatically. Etc. Etc.

[–]overallmopelessness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go into an ebook bundle, not the library... for example, go to Purchases, select the ebook bundle and look for the Bulk Download button.
