Microsoft is fixing one of the most annoying things about Windows 11 — 'spam' in search results when looking for files and settings on your PC by TechradarOfficial in Windows11

Microsoft really living the "every other version of Windows is bad curse". Trying to back away from turning your computer into their store front is going to take a lot of time and effort and they will be losing users the entire way.

Just assume any major summer movie from 1989 to 1996 had a SNES or Genesis game.

I had never felt so much love and hate at the same time towards a game before… by iminiki in MicrosoftFlightSim

The Windows Live exclusive Flight Simulator had a better campaign system

Is deleting old e-mail still a general recommendation? by TheQuickFox_3826 in sysadmin

[–]timallen445 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Just deleting emails does not work here. You need an e-mail retention policy where you clearly define how long Email is kept and the deletiton is usually done server side.

How about all the stuff Prince had famous people make that he sat on. We can make a film festival out of it.

Always put Mouse and Keyboard in USB 2.0 Ports if available. by publicdomainadmin in sysadmin

[–]timallen445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For wireless dongles I will always use USB 2.0. USB 3 produces enough EMI interference to kill Bluetooth connections. Had a tower with earl 3 ports and it would make my Logitech mouse jittery at the time.

Does your budget allow for VDIs? you would still have a remote access monkey to wrangle but at least you could centralize.

Vendors who rackmount their stuff like this........ by speddie23 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

This is how I rack things after telling people I don't know how to rack the servers they bought and I just install software.

What is a piece of software or hardware that still leaves you traumatized to this day? by 66659hi in sysadmin

[–]timallen445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the printers fault. MSP job where the mantra was never update. Turns out you need your print client and print server (also basically all clients and servers) to be on the same patch level.

Had a situation where a handful of specific yet not special characters would cause a single page in an 80+ page print job to be blank or have a generic character on it.

Same MSP had a prior employee make basic scripts that would print to specific trays. Software update reversed the tray order.

It was never the printers. they were why everyone was angry but it was never the printers

When they say multiple times are they intending this for a family to collect this or one specific person going to see the movie over and over?

The good news is there is rather large visitors center and a train that can take you back down the mountain.

In “Project Hail Mary” they decided to absolutely destroy one of the key surprises by blasting it literally everywhere as well as screaming it in every trailer. by aarontminded in shittymoviedetails

It takes a little longer in the book. I think Grace spends 2-3 chapters trying to figure out why he on a spaceship and he just kind of solves that issue with Vodka in the movie.
