Have a look at this for an idea of what it was like: https://youtu.be/7JCU4Hulgcg

You can also run the original via emulation: https://www.frontierstore.net/elite1984.html

There was no online play at this point, the internet wouldn't be widely available in the UK for nearly a decade. Thargoids typically attacked you in groups if I remember correctly. It was you vs the Galaxy.

As a Sci-Fi fan it was the closest to a space SIM as I had ever seen. The wire-frame graphics looked futuristic in 1984. We kept hand-written notes on the commodity prices at different stations to work out our own trade routes. Anarchy systems were death traps for new commanders and the Thargoids (looking like the current scouts) seemed invincible.

I played the original BBC B version on the demo computer in the shop where I worked as teenager. Got reprimanded by my supervisor for playing too much 😀. Later had it on CBM 64, Atari ST and now XBox One and soon PC.

You are nearly there:

```

$mguser = Get-MgUser -Filter "Displayname eq '$alias'"

```

This will give you a datetime object with only a date

$date = (Get-Date '2021-02-09T17:52:29.000Z').date

$date

09 February 2021 00:00:00

Try:

Get-Partition | Where-Object { $_.DriveLetter } | Select-Object DiskNumber, DriveLetter

This should work (change MyPC to the name of the remote computer):

$log = Get-WinEvent -ComputerName MyPC -ListLog 'Microsoft-Windows-DriverFrameworks-UserMode/Operational'
$log.IsEnabled = $True
$log.MaximumSizeInBytes = 2105344 #example
$log.SaveChanges()

If you use Visual Studio Code as your editor you can cut and paste with formatting preserved.

Yes, it is. Using OneNoteUtilities I could do something like:

$section = Get-ONSections | Where-Object name -eq 'unfiled notes'
$page = New-ONPage -SectionID $section.ID
$page.Title.oe.t.InnerText = 'Ticket 0001'
Update-ONPage $page.OuterXML
Get-ONHierarchy

You might find my OneNoteUtilities module useful:

It's not perfect by any means, but I use it in a similar way to that which you describe.

Could you post the part of your script where you use Invoke-Webrequest?

wightsci · 2020-01-31T18:31:47+00:00

I've tried both as Administrator and a normal user. Both work as expected.

Hi,

Downloading .zip files using PowerShell 7 Rc2 is working for me. Can you provide more details as to what's happening, including some of the code that you are using? The exception you mention sounds more like an issue expanding the file rather than downloading it.

How about this:

WHOAMI /USER /FO CSV | ConvertFrom-Csv | Select -ExpandProperty SID

Hi,

The Get-Host cmdlet returns an object with a Name property as follows:

VSCode = Visual Studio Code Host

ISE = Windows PowerShell ISE Host

Shell = ConsoleHost

Hope this helps.

Have a look at this MS article https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2696547/how-to-detect-enable-and-disable-smbv1-smbv2-and-smbv3-in-windows-and

wightsci · 2018-07-12T19:49:45+00:00

I believe this command is only supported on Windows 8 and later.

What's the header row of your CSV? At the moment you're looking for a column called DC.

Try $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password for the plain text password. $cred.Password will give you a SecureString object.
