thank u, op

in my journies thru related stuff, i found tls's option flag called rejectUnauthorized. setting to false makes it ignore ssl certs entirely which works as a temp solution :]

Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
only slightly computer related: usps recently switched postmen on our route and the new dude can't find our house, somehow. but apparently that didn't stop him because my new haswell-e cpu says it was delivered ten minutes ago. to someone else, apparently.

what the hell do i do when a postman delivers to the wrong address? this is the second time this has happened; the first time we complained but wrote it off since it was a very minor order. the usps website seems to demand that i insured my package if i want to file a claim

e: resolved by usps employee yelling at idiot driver (his words)

windows 10 fun

at home:
doesn't recognize my USB 3.0 controller at all. I guess that's what I get for having a lovely non-Intel USB 3.0 controller tho

at work:
when I unplug my USB headset and later plug it back in after a meeting or something, the OS correctly detects it but just keeps on blaring sound out of my laptop speakers anyway. Only fixable with a restart.

works fine on my old (free) surface pro 2 I guess :unsmith:

can you get the pro version of windows 10 if you have an unused windows 8 license key?

i'd rather not have to jump through the hoop of installing windows 8 pro and then upgrading to windows 10 pro

if there's already a system install on there, it will upgrade fromt hat version to the matching win 10 version. so if the key for a different type and you want that type, you'll need to do a fresh install

you can probably attempt to break your computer by fuckign up teh product key before upgrading. you might want to upgrade from whatever is on there now to 8 then to 10 if thats how you want it to go

ok so ive got an iophone 4s and I want to "swap" it with my iphone 4. can I do a 100% total backup of my 4 and then start the 4s fresh and install it on there?

the other direction is easy I'll just start fresh on the iphone 4 (my current phone)

if you weren't using an old rear end phone and lived somewhere developed enough to have apple stores you'd take it to the apple store and have them put in an official one there

these words don't make sense. you want to move the data on your 4s to your 4, and then wipe your 4s?

Welp the arris router TWC gave us @ work seems to be struggling under the load of 20+ computers, does anyone know a better business class router I can offload all the... routing off to? lookin @ the Netgear FVS318N or similar but idk if that can actually handle said 20+ computers either

going for the simplest solution here: you can probably grab any old gigabit switch. assuming the existing router can saturate your internet connection and you don't actually have any fun routing to do

netgear is... bad. the last netgear unit that i configured because the customer didn't/couldn't do it themselves was early this year, and the latest firmware was from 2011, didn't support ipv6, and each web gui page load took ~30-60 sec.

you're better off with a small sonicwall or a small cisco asa or if you're down w/ a little bit of fiddling, get a ubiquiti edgerouter X or edgerouter lite. if those aren't your thing just get a tplink archer c7.

nah the NAT engines on a lot of the big ISP-supplied units is typically the cheapest poo poo they can get away with. if he's got 20+ computers he already has a switch (hopefully gigabit)

this router is older but its dirt cheap with a lot of ram and a good cpu and it can handle 900mbit u/d sustained on my home jiggabit connection. 3rd party firmware might kill the cut to forward feature (does on tomato, not sure about ddwrt) which will take throughput down to the 100mbit range.

I would assume so, CPU load when I'm cranking on it with a single session stays down around 20% and that's with 900mbit+ traffic going through it. I'm sure there's some upper limit to how many systems you can jam through the nat concurrently but your ISP bandwidth is going to limit how much load you could throw at the processor in the first place and there's more than enough memory to support a huge nat table. 128mb with a 533mhz SoC that's comparable to what they're putting in the $200+ high end routers

Try restarting the Windows Audio service, elevated prompt, net stop audiosrv then net start audiosrv
You can make it a .bat and run as Admin.

I'm trying to get some goofy SCSI to iSCSI bridge hardware imported from Europe and fedex is holding it until I complete an FCC 740 form about equipment that may cause harmful radio interference and this stuff is all hardwired ethernet connections with no radios so I have no idea what the hell they want and assume its stupid bureaucratic poo poo but has anyone else had to deal with this?

a google search online shows that it looks like at least one company has included such forms with their merchandise when shipping to the US, so you might try contacting whoever you bought this thing from to see if they can help you out

this fedex page seems to suggest that the "FCC ID" field may be optional: http://www.canadacustomer.fedex.com/ca_english/customsguide/fcc.html

other than that it's basically just fill in the info and tick the appropriate box which in your case is probably #7:

its still stupid but the radio frequencies emitted are the frequencies that are goign across teh bridge liek how u can enable spread spectrum on ur pc to stop it interfering with one particular freq. idk u probably knwo this but hey
