Just click "I don't have Internet" during Windows 10 setup, and you can create a local account.

Biowarfare posted:I have a machine that has NOTHING ever returned in search. I dont' know why. Literally I can find the program in the program list but if I type anything, network, chrome, power, 0 results. Indexer service is running and I have no idea wtf. I've seen something similar where text input for start menu search (and a couple of other places e.g. entering credentials for WiFi) wouldn't work, text just could not be entered... it ended up being a couple of packages under C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages were corrupt and had to be overwritten with known-good copies from the local administrator user. Specifically the folders starting with windows.immersivecontrolpanel_ and Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_ . There's also a Microsoft.Windows.Search_ you could try the same trick.

Our EMR vendor. Opened a ticket Friday AM. Haven't heard anything. Call them up this morning. Basically what is happening is a terminal emulator isn't working because a port is closed. They either stopped a service or blocked the port with the firewall on the last update. First off I can't see my ticket in their ticketing website. Even if I manually put the number in, it tells me I don't have permission to view the ticket I made. Okay. Get a tech on the line. "Oh yea, I was working on this and got sidetracked. Sorry." I explain the issue to him, "Well that looks like someone is coming in from the outside....is it a vendor?" It's an internal user on our LAN. "Hrmm well it looks like the server is blocking it." Well, it's your server. "I'm on the networking side...that looks like all layer 2 traffic so it should be fine. Let me get someone else on the line and I'll call you back"

Guy called me back. "You see what's happening is either port is being blocked by the firewall or a service isn't running. I'm on the network side so I'm transferring this over to a software tech to assist you. He'll call you in five minutes." That was at 9:15. Hey so why can't I see the ticket? "Well you see I'm on an internal team and when it's transferred over to us, you can't see it anymore." Awesome.

There are a bunch of posts from people who are still having the issue and there are fixes from restarting Cortana to modifying registry keys? I haven't really had it happen so I'm not sure.

If you're having problems with Search, your Indexer is probably broken and you need to clear the cache and have it rebuild.

I still routinely have search not work on machines that were installed with a different language, then swapped to english. Searching "panel sterowania" works, searching "control panel" 0 results, after installing the English language pack and setting it to all default. Unsure if this problem is related to the "doesn't work at all 0 results even on native english iso", though

Unexpected Raw Anime posted:it seems like if Win 10 has to use any amount of paging file on a magnetic HDD it just has a loving heart attack. Hitting swap on a hard drive just plain sucks no matter what. With a SSD it's still bad, but it's shocking how much we used to be willing to put up with.

Yo Windows10 is loving stupid as bricks when it comes to paging. I've had TWO occasions where my main machine (which has a bunch of SSDs and single mechanical) chose the god drat mechanical when the primary SSD got low on space.

ASRock Socket AM3 mobo with a Phenom II X6 1100T  The mobo is the limiting factor, the cpu can handle 32GB, but this setup has been rock solid for almost a decade, and I'd rather just keep it running and do a proper new build some day in the future. Now that I've moved all the disks to a DIY NAS, the big ATX case feels empty with just a single SSD in there, so the next build will be micro-ATX or mini-ITX, nice and compact. I've got a Radeon RX560 in it, and it runs GTA V at 50-60FPS at 1080P max details, which is plenty for the games I play. And it is kinda fun to see just how long I can keep using it.

We block most ad networks etc. Great, we're stopping spam and whatnot. Here's the problem. When users search for poo poo with Google, some of the poo poo is an ad (most of the top results) and it breaks that. Thoughts?

Recruiter: May I ask what your current salary is? Me: xx/yr Recruiter: This position will be zz/yr is that would okay? FIFTEEN THOUSAND LESS This is the guy that was going to call me back ten minutes ago, last week. He's going to talk to his manager and call me back in a half hour. So probably 4 weeks.

lol i get to manually fix 700 records tomorrow because someone higher on the totem pole than me went in and tinkered while i was on vacation and no-one has the clout to tell them "no, the only way to make this work is if you put it back to how it was before" and the vendor won't run a batch script to fix the records wonder if there's a way to get them on record as saying "this repetitive task is a good use of a full day of Chicken's $80k salary, i accept that she won't be able to do anything else while she's fixing these records, i am okay with my emails and tickets going unanswered tomorrow. making her manually change one field in 700 records is a better solution than things not being set up exactly how i want them."

$40/hr * 8 is $320. I hate to say it but making you spend an entire day on a menial task is probably cheaper than a single ticket with your vendor.

Pickup sandwiches for a meeting because the admin assistant isn’t here today? Sure. I’ll also take a sandwich thanks. Help the front desk lady put up a Christmas tree? Whatever.

I will absolutely refuse to do things that won't benefit me or my career, and if that's a problem, I'll happily find a new job. I was hired at this new job to do devops and automation. I've been blocked and handicapped at every turn. I've spent the last two weeks setting up the few internal pet applications that my team owns to run over HTTPS instead of HTTP. With one year expiry non-ACME certs. Unless something tragic ("tragic") happens in the next few days, I'm giving notice on Monday. The first thing I did was suggest they get vCenter so I could automate VM creation on-prem for their 15 hosts with local storage. They got a starter pack license that supports 3 hosts and doesn't allow vMotions and won't buy any more licenses or new hardware to consolidate. All the hosts are already at capacity for RAM, so I can't build anything new, and even if I did, it's phase gated behind a manual process in which an IT person asks for VM owners to voluntarily give up some of their allocated RAM. The second thing I did was pitch an automated test pipeline in AWS. I dramatically scaled back my expectations of that team after it took 3 weeks and two developers to give me an installer that didn't require clicking. Then I just stopped attending standups and doing any work for them after it became clear that they weren't willing to allocate any further dev time to clear any other blockers The third thing was to build an updated automated deployment process of a worst-practices architected webapp (single point of failure, manual DB backups, hardcoded credentials, etc). I've been waiting almost a month for the developer who owns it to do a thing he needs to do before we can schedule a maintenance window for implementation All of which is to say I really don't like this job, and I've been counting down the days until I give notice for a while. Life's too short to waste doing something painful, especially for privileged computer touchers. Happiness Commando fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Apr 14, 2021 |
