You should contact their support. At least you have someone to blame when things go south.

I am retarded, so here's a quick question: is there any reason not to use a 64 bit linux for a VM? is there a magic amount of allocated memory where 32 bit is better?

processors running in 64-bit mode can only run 32/64-bit applications so if you have some crusty 16bit stuff you'd have a problem there, or your processor is 32-bit only so you have to (lots of legacy/embedded systems fall in to that category). for your use? no reason not to use it.

What is the best way to setup a static IP for accessing a specific domain? My mothers work is blocking her from working at home because of a dynamic IP and whitelist only website, their recommendation is setting up a dynamicDNS that would cover all of her internet traffic. Obviously this is stupid on many, many levels but since I can't change their IT security I was hoping I could setup a slightly more secure and easier to manage system for her. Atm I was thinking of renting a vpn with a static IP, but does anyone have better ideas?

so they use ip whitelisting to allow access but your mom has a dynamic ip?

and they are willing to whitelist a dynamic dns hostname?

why not just do that? The risk is entirely on their side

who cares if your moms has a dynamic dns name?

although presumably their firewall will do a reverse lookup on the incoming ip and the isp won't have a PTR that matches the dyndns so I don't see how that would work exactly but ehh..

you aren't going to be able to merge a pst with someone's inbox in outlook. maybe in exchange, if you're using exchange, but from the client you're going to have to copy them by hand like shaggar said

ya thats what i was trying to do, but in order to copy something you have to select it first, and trying to select it locks it up. this is on an mbp with a new samsung 850 so its definitely not a bottleneck there.

im just gonna run it in the background for a while and let it download everything iguess

ps: found out yosemite broke TRIM on third party drives unless you disable kext signing lmfao

it's not that it was broken, it's that it was never supported in the first place iirc

there was some semi-legit reason for it (because trim commands vary or something? i forget) but yeah it's a drag

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD
Jul 7, 2012

on every os x prior to yosemite you could enable it with "trim enabler" apps – which worked totally fine – but those modify kexts, and yosemite requires kext signing. you can still use those apps by disabling kext signing but besides being a security hole, it will stop your mac from booting if you reset pram or install any update that resets pram.

there isnt any legit reason for it aside from apple being a whore and trying to force you into buying its overpriced ssds
