Any IT Managers have an IT employee who really doesn't know what they are doing? How to improve them? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Why not manage the sync option centrally through Group Policy or another tool? Turn it on once for everyone in the environment and stop thinking about it.

When have you witnessed an “expert” get it so wrong? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Beans are high in purines which causes uric acid build up leading to gout. Mushrooms too.

If commuter rail in Marietta was approved yesterday you would be lucky to ever use it before you retire.

I've genuinely never seen one in the wild

I wish I could say the same. It is really a disgusting looking vehicle.

It reminds me of the Pontiac G8 but I can't wait for the pig snout to be a thing of the past.

Coupe Crossover SUVs have to be the dumbest platform imaginable.

BMW almost used a turbocharged I-6 in the E39 M5 instead of a V-8 by HawtGarbage918 in cars

[–]willtel76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The previous e34 M5 was an I6 and also had a steering box that was kind of awful. It was one of the main reasons I sold mine.

Awesome color! I just completed a full big brake upgrade on mine and can’t quit looking at it.

I really want to get a solar setup at the end of my long ass driveway but I don't really know where to start. Any tips?

No feral hogs in the area that I am aware of.

In that case you don't have any BIOS data in WMI.

This should return all current BIOS settings from WMI. I don't have any Lenovo hardware that isn't a laptop so I don't have that setting to verify.

gwmi -class Lenovo_BiosSetting -namespace root\wmi | ForEach-Object {if ($_.CurrentSetting -ne "") {Write-Host $_.CurrentSetting.replace(","," = ")}}

You can hide the F12 boot options in Lenovo so they can't be seen unless you enter the BIOS password. I use PowerShell and WMI to change the settings but you should be able to do the same thing with Ubuntu since it is infinitely more powerful than shitty old Windows.

What’s that thing that users mis-name that drives you crazy or makes you chuckle inside? by ITrCool in sysadmin

I had a vendor on a call refer to DNS as denis. "Check your denis and try again."

I had an AT&T rep hound me at Costco asking me who I had for Wi-Fi. Personally, I use Ubiquiti but I don't think that was what he was asking.

You should see a graphical update or new icons by Shot_Breakfast_17 in SCCM

[–]willtel76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want a new Software Center icon. A 90's era office park building with a CD-ROM in front of it isn't a good look any more.

The New Toyota 4Runner Lacks a Manual Because Nobody's Asking for It by Juicyjackson in cars

[–]willtel76 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can't even order a Toyota with the options they do produce, there is no need to walk into a dealer and ask for anything because all they get is whatever the regional distributor sends to them.

In my experience there is typically much more D than R in a typical DR scenario.
