People already get angry if they can't get a new share a drive letter because 3 other shares already have that drive letter and X is open you can have the X drive. Then people get angry that they have so many drive letters, but they also need them since people tell them go to the X:\ drive and not Go to the Flood DR Folder which is in the continuity plan folder. I mean I can just make the DFS shares any name they want I can call it X Flood DR but most people want the folder name to be the first letter of the folder. And Windows will remember share names and can display them in the same screen as drives. pixaal posted:Windows 10? Didn't they just add bash? Windows subsystem for Linux has been a thing for a little while, yeah. It works pretty well to, tho you do need to do some tweaking to get X support, and I have problems with one or 2 programs I want(I can make terminator work, but not Konsole, for instance).

Sorry for tangent, but I remember reading somewhere that they added support for accessing Windows applications through that shell as well (ie, "notepad &" would actually fire up a notepad window). Now I can't find any information on that. Was I just imagining that?

I always heard you wouldn't be able to do that since WSL is almost pure linux, and win32 apps don't work with it at all.

Linux for Windows has of course competition: Cygwin, which I install whenever I find myself stuck on a Windows box. You can run win32 just fine from the Cygwin bash.Varkk posted:Can you install Wine in that? I started this page many years ago. tl;dr Wine on Cygwin can't be said to work, but it's worth it for the sheer horror when you describe the idea to anyone. It doesn't seem to have been updated for WSL, but you know you want to just try it once what have you got to lose muwaaaaahahahaha

 : I lost my keyboard.  : What do you mean? The wired keyboard that sits on your desk?: Yeah, I moved it to clean underneath and now I can't figure out where I put it. I need a new one right now.The kicker: I'm not even in desktop support anymore, so I don't have keyboards to give.

GreenNight posted:Someone mentioned printers a few pages ago and said that Zebra makes beasts that never die. We still have this one on the shop floor. A new industrial printer looks pretty close to that still, just can run faster and at higher DPI! Running something at 14 inches/s is crazy especially with the rewinder you can eat an entire roll of labels in minutes. We have an 110Xi4 that replaced our old $30,000 label printer from the early 90s that would only get 3ips, and had 150dpi, oh it also required manual calibration and would jam every few feet so printing a roll of labels took someone about 2-3 days of sitting there yelling at the machine. It also had a button that was required for calibration break fall and get lost, I was able to get it running by cutting a chunk of metal and taping it to the area so when you pushed on the tape it made contact and worked like the button. This temporary fix was in place for 6 months and added another day to printing a roll of labels. If you are wondering a 110Xi4 should only run you under $2000, printers are not what they cost in the 90s. If that old Zebra is giving an issues call it a day.

A new 105sl plus is $1700 or so, so it's not a big deal. We pay like $8/mo per printer and a tech comes if we have any issues. So we'll run with that piece of crap until the tech can no longer fix it.

We have a ton of S4Ms and ZT230s, even a few Stripe 600s kicking around. The zebra drivers may be poo poo (for the love of god use the seagull scientific ones) but the hardware is drat solid.

Right, we migrated off of Labelview to BarTender years ago and have never looked back. The drivers are solid and we've had nearly no software issues.

Also it's licensing is very not lovely. Install as many copies of the software as you want, you're only licensed per printer.

Only issue I ever have is if a user sends a massive print job to the printer you can't get it to stop printing canceling the job does nothing. Powering off the printer causes it to pick right back up. Rebooting the computer same thing. I have a fix but you need admin. Stop the print spool service Open %windir%\System32\spool\PRINTERS delete everything in the spool Start print spool service I only the printers on a 1:1 basis so no networking, I imagine shoving this on a print server would cause all kinds of headaches. This problem is very rare and only whoops accidentally told it to print all so it's going to print a label for all 200,000 items in the CRM software.

I'm hoping English isn't this person's first language, because the grammar in that ticket is awful. It literally says "was hard to teach Windows" as if they were teaching a class on Windows. And then "Can you please my id to Windows 7?" That sentence sounds like it lives down the street from "kindly do the needful". Yuck. I shouldn't be surprised though. I'm currently getting dumb tickets in my queue that basically amount to "I can't be bothered to read a message." There was a centralized web app for these users to log their training and classroom hours for certifications and whatnot, but it has recently been decentralized and is now being logged locally for their individual offices. The old web app has been disabled and has a big bolded message on the page notifying users. But still several tickets a day come in that say "I can't log my hours" and all we do is just copy/paste that message, reply, and close the ticket.
