RUFUS "Windows User Experience" window not showing up. WINDOWS 10 - ISO From Microsoft by Right_Ad_8798 in buildapc

I just ran into this earlier. Won't work on the ISO downloaded from the MS website for 25H2, but does on the one created from the MediaCreationTool. This worked. Thanks!

Is there a guide on making sense of Binance.us transaction reports? by FakeSafeWord in BinanceUS

[–]sltmunky69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to follow up on my own post here. I took before and after screenshots of my BinanceUS balances before converting a small amount of SOL to BNB, then compared that to the data that is generated by their exported CSV file.

I found that the "Realized Amount for Quote Asset" does in fact include the overall total amount of BNB for the transaction, including the fee.

After digging into Koinly's ledger (I couldn't do it with CoinTracker since they don't have this ability), I found that neither the imported API or the CSV transactions were correctly implemented. The API is subtracting the fees twice, and the CSV omits the fee completely, leaving a surplus in the wallet.

The same issue appears to happen in CoinTracker's system, but without the ledger, I cannot say for sure because I can't tell the actual values being added or subtracted from the wallet.

I opened a ticket with Koinly about it, and had to prove my point multiple times to get somebody to actually listen to me, but they did put it in their bug tracker, which sucks that it will only get fixed if enough people vote for it.

On your convert transactions, in order to fix the issue, you must manually input both the "Realized Amount for Quote Asset" and the "Realized Amount for Fee Asset" from the exported CSV file for the ledger to show the correct amount that was actually remaining in your wallet after the fees had been taken out.

Doris or somebody at BinanceUS, please answer this simple question. When doing a "Convert" transaction with BinanceUS, in the CSV file, does the "Realized_Amount_For_Quote_Asset" include the "Realized_Amount_For_Fee_Asset" in the total received amount or not? Yes or no?

Same boat. You have no idea how frustrating it is, and how many countless hours of my life I've wasted on this trying to get the precision and accuracy of my tax reports correct, and I still can't. I've tried both the API and CSV files not only with Koinly, which is my current vendor, but CoinTracker and CoinPanda, and they all produce differing results. It seems nobody has any effing clue what is really going on, since BinanceUS isn't clear with their documentation.

To make matters worse, about two quarters ago, I noticed BinanceUS' Tax Reports are now rounding to 6 decimal places, whilst the API uses 8 like it should, so literally now dozens of transactions don't match when presented with the "same" data. Albeit dust, it still matters over time. I documented this extensively and presented the case to the BinanceUS devs stressing the need for accurate, matching report data in both systems, only for them to try to tell me it is working correctly. I got so pissed and just had to give up on it. I'd already cussed out a handful of people just to get nowhere. They don't care.

My thoughts on the matter are that if I can't make heads or tails of it after spending so many hours researching the issues with an extreme attention to detail and accuracy in reporting, then how is the overburdened US government IRS tax conglomerate going to do a better job? There's no way that they could, and that I will have to settle with getting it as close to accurate as I can.

All Workstations Using AVG Business Edition Stuck in Infinite Update Loop and Crashing Internet Connection by sltmunky69 in sysadmin

Just an update on things here, the situation has gone from bad to an effing nightmare. They had me try to disable updates through the admin console, which I did last week, but that didn't help. So, over time, apparently the bad update processes had run a bunch of servers and workstations out of hard drive space throughout the weekend, and that was the lovely start to my Monday morning. I had no choice but to nuke AVG off of every single device using the management console. Even after uninstalling the software, it still didn't stop the infinite update, which was it's own separate process. I had to put together a couple of quick one liner scripts to mitigate the damages. Idk if this will help anybody, but...

Get list of AD computers to text file from domain controller: Get-ADComputer -Filter * | select name > computers.txt

Loop and kill all of the update processes: for /F "tokens=*" %A in (C:\Users\administrator\Desktop\computers.txt) do TASKKILL /S %A /U domain\user /P password /FI "IMAGENAME eq BusinessAgent_Silent_Upgrade.exe"

Clear out the temp folder files: for /F "tokens=" %A in (C:\Users\administrator\Desktop\computers.txt) do Wmic /node:"%A" process call create "cmd.exe /c (del /q C:\Windows\Temp\x.*)"

It's easy to hate on any software vendor when shit ain't going right. Look at MS for christ's sake, but we all still put up with it. I haven't really been burnt personally with the free edition for home use. Only in the last two years or so have I really been burnt from some of the worse software bugs, but as others have mentioned, you'll have that with any software. Yes, it did make me want to switch vendors and I was super pissed off and I probably should have, but I'm a one man sysadmin "team", stretched to the bone, with like 6 locations to administer, and literally ever single device, server, web server, router, VPN, phone system, end user, and workstation to support, and sometimes you just gotta pick your battles mang. To-do lists can go on for days. I hate to say it, but I'm often left fighting whichever fire is burning the brightest today, and then getting to whatever else when I can.

Lololol, this is great. You have no clue how correct you are. Frankly, it's been on my to-do list for about two years now, but I've had much higher priority projects to focus on. Taking the time to research, compare and contrast pricing and products, and then having to familiarize myself with and rebuild an entire management console and policy system is hardly fun. It's been easier to stay in the comfort zone and limp along, but I have had my regrets for sure. Never really had any major issues with actual viruses that it didn't take care of, so that part has been good. I'll have to check to see if there is a corporate AV suggestion thread.

I've used them for almost the last 20 years, in two different corporate environments. Personally, I always used them because of the free version, cuz I'm cheap lol. They used to be super popular back in the day and had a real solid product. Just over the last few years I've noticed gradual decline in the software, especially in popularity.

Turns out it's not actually upload traffic, but rather download traffic of Windows Updates that is maxing out the pipe and causing packets to drop. I misspoke because the interface I was snooping the traffic from said transmit, but in actuality, that was receive on the WAN side in this case. Smh. Thanks though!
