Cybernetic Vermin posted:backup files, flatten, move only things obviously safe back on the fresh install? yeah I'd hoped to avoid wiping the device but even typing it out I'm realizing it's a fool's errand e: I think I'll try the ESET live disk first so I can at least verify the device is trustworthy enough to boot back up for backup purposes (i.e. so I don't backup the device's contents plus any extant infections onto the reimaged machine)

yeah, real answer, nuke the poo poo out of it as a point of guidance, MS has little windows info popups for "We now have a defense against cryptominers! Click here for more info" and when you click through it's just "Keep an install cd handy and store your poo poo on the cloud, lmao"

Pile Of Garbage posted:the X1 comes with a proprietary ethernet adapter that connects via what looks like a 1394 port but isn't. despite the weird port i'm pretty sure it's just USB. jesus christ lenovo why even bother with this poo poo, just toss a usb-ethernet dongle in the box at that point Hed posted:mines an X1 too. I can force click on to WiFi to be on both simultaneously but it will never do that on its own. I’m using the Lenovo thunderbolt 4 dock (garbage) as Ethernet as well. yeah i've got a thinkpad t15p, it's the only lenovo in the entire company and it was a hand-me-down from when my predecessor left. i can't charge the laptop off the usb-c port, i have to use a lenovo power adapter, so at home i have to plug in two cables (this is BULLSHIT) and i gotta lug an adapter with me when i go to the office. like check this poo poo out. this is lenovo's answer to "what's the easiest way to connect a laptop to a dock that delivers power"

butt dickus posted:i'm using a dell precision 7670 with a dell wd19dcs. it will complain about not at full power if i just connect one of the cables or the single cable from the wd19s they also sent Dell sells their USB-c docks with different sized adapters, the theory being if you only need 45w you can buy WD19 w/ 45w adapter and save like $15 or w/e. But in reality all it means is if your laptop needs the WD19 w/ 180w adapter, you have to know that you need that otherwise you'll buy the wrong thing and you wont be able to get full power to the laptop.

also theres the wd19 and the wd19s where the wd19s doesnt have audio ports or a DAC cause they "couldnt get chips for them" aka they cost cut an relatively unused feature (headphone/mic jacks) and kept the price the same

anyone have a good reference for getting docker poo poo to run right on these dumb new m1 macs with pinball machine microcontrollers in them? i am loving livid at the lack of docker support when the whole point of docker was to give people a way to describe a canonical environment that should run on any dev machine or server. I don't know why a dev would opt in to a machine that is fundamentally incompatible with development work but apple stans have been incomprehensible to me for like 15 years at this point so i don't know why i expect them to suddenly make well reasoned choices

i built a normal python docker image that works everywhere else but one of my coworkers couldn't run it without some --emulate-a-real-computer flag that literally made it run 60x slower than normal i assume there's a way to build a docker image for m1 macs that can run on their processor without having to emulate x64 but i dont have one of those macs so i don't know what part of the process is aware of the hardware differences (and honestly no part of the process makes sense as a guess because why should any virtualization give a care about the hardware ever?)

The WIFI upstairs in my house is abysmal due to foil underlay insulation - I have a cat6 cable that runs upstairs that breaks out into an 8-port switch, if I wanted to connect an extender / repeater above the floor level what should I pick up? I looked and there are 'classic' extenders: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LRQW0GM/?th=1 and 'WIFI6' mesh units: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08MWKQCJZ/

I looked and there are 'classic' extenders: i think all the typical 3-puck mesh kits (e.g. google/nest wifi, tp-link deco s4/others, probably that thing) run the same qualcomm soc/software stack, and while i don't have a ton of experience (got them for my parent, run into them in a couple of other places), they seem extremely solid. where ad-hoc "extenders" are in my experience nothing but trouble.

I looked and there are 'classic' extenders: my understanding is that mesh refers to basically wireless access points using other wireless access points as uplinks that said in my experience, devices advertised as "mesh" WAPs are typically fine just using ethernet as an uplink anyway, so if one meets your performance/price needs it should be good so long as you configure it to use wired uplink the bottom unit you linked to is definitely a more recent model, wifi6 = 802.11ax and the upper unit is 802.11ac aka wifi5

yeah extenders are supposed to use wireless backhaul. since you have a cable going up there you can just stick another wap wherever. set to same SSID as your main network, on a non-overlapping channel, and it ought to behave there may be some product specifically for doing that, but ive used just any old wap with success

Cheers - I *would* have gone and bought the Mesh unit https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08MWKQCJZ/ but from putting it in my basket and an hour later Amazon jacked the price from £85 to £101, so they can go and get hosed.

where do you guys buy components? the last time i bought an internal hard drive was probably 20 years ago from newegg and it looks like ghost town now aside from third party sellers i also need a psu and a usb hub and i try to avoid amazon for things where i would actually care if they were counterfit/way shittier than advertised

not sure if there's a better yospos thread for this but what data stack would you look at using in 2022 if you're trying to move an org from piles of CSVs and spreadsheets into actually querying structured data from a centralized repository, but are just guessing at access patterns? at a high level, right now this org pulls in commodity pricing data (daily cadence), economic data (monthly/quarterly), other data like temperature for zip codes, and these just collect in piles of files. Then the researchers use Excel or R or Python to analyze what they want. I'd love for these to be cataloged better, not on a SMB drive, and more so that we can use more automation and cloud stuff, or make Excel faster by using an ODBC connector instead of every spreadsheet having <giant worksheet of every data point ever since I might need/want it in my analysis> I've used Fivetran / Snowflake / Matillion before, but that was 2019ish and the project was more about normalizing two ERPs for consistent reporting. Snowflake seemed cool but FiveTran's pricing model seemed really annoying. Panoply looks cool seems to only support Redshift and BigTable. In addition to the CSVs above I'd also love to be able to slap quickbooks, great plains, and other integrations into this easily.

I think the two main choices are: a few tables that just have document URLs and maybe some metadata, with the documents in s3; or import all of the docs into their own tables/schemas so the users don't have to do any work figuring out what the column headers are it sounds like its just a bunch of analysts loving around so I'd go with the s3 + url&metadata tables so the data crimes they commit are at least constrained to their own PCs
