Galler posted:RAM disk. Do people really still intentionally do this? Where I work, I ordered a stack of Samsung 840 Evo to replace drives in laptops, and as much as possible, any new machines have SSDs. It should really be the default setup, and companies like Dell should feel bad for not offering reasonably priced SSDs up and down the range.

sfwarlock posted:That ticket reminds me of a guy a couple jobs back when all our tools (chat system, remote support, etc) were Windows-based. Long story short, this guy, first thing he does after getting sat down at his new Windows system is bust out a Linux install disc and blow it all away, and then file three tickets asking for the support tools, printer locations, server IPs, etc. Oh, and during the conversation that ensued when I found out about it, he told me he absolutely refused to use or support Outlook. Outlook isn't a total chunk of faeces, it has reasons to exist. HalloKitty fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Jul 17, 2014 |

m.hache posted:Being able to press the Windows key and type to instantly search your computer is pretty rad. That's my favorite feature thus far in Windows 8.1. Vista did this from day one, let alone 7. It has literally been a standard part of the Windows interface for 7 years, and if you liked it before Vista, you could always use Launchy (which I did on XP for ages, and I still use it now!).

monster on a stick posted:WinKey+(number) does cool things if you have pinned apps. Does in 7 too, though. Can't believe people didn't know about Win+Tab! That was pretty much the silly hyped feature in Vista, although Vista's angle was a bit sharper if I recall.

FireSight posted:Any Vista computer I touched, I had to turn Aero off on because it caused huge performance issues. I found the exact opposite: with Aero off, even moving a window is painful, as GDI+ operations are no longer hardware accelerated as they were in XP. Point taken on the fact hardly anyone touched Vista, but every ad they showed had Win+Tab (Aero Flip) in it.

Billy the Mountain posted:That is so hosed up. We own the device. We own the data on the device. Obviously when we canceled service we understood the cloud backups would be nuked, and that we were canceling warranty and service for the device. At no time during the process did a notification pop up indicating the Local backups would be deleted. This is so hosed. Cloud. The Future™

Lum posted:I made them send out another engineer and fix it properly. Ah, good. Much better than a short term bodge. When my DSL was playing up a while back, I had an OpenReach engineer come, he replaced the entire line to the house from the pole, including installing a master socket. That helped a lot. Especially since the old wiring was Post Office, and had no master socket. The joys!

Truga posted:I've been wanting a phone that I can just plug my keyboard/mouse/monitors in and it doubles as a desktop PC. Motorola did this a while ago, but any of the phones that actually supported Webtop are either really old, or had the feature removed when their Android version was upgraded. It was a separate Ubuntu environment. You could get a dock exactly like you describe, and there was also a Lapdock, so you could basically dock your phone into a netbook shell.

GI_Clutch posted:One of our customers does first five characters of the last name, first initial for their accounts. Poor Elaine Dickman. She's pleaded with the IT staff, but they refuse to change her ID unless her name legally changes. Now that's much more of a good reason to hate the IT department. Seriously, how much would it hurt to change a username in these minor cases?

Japanese Dating Sim posted:TIL that VGA to DVI adapters are worth several hundred dollars. And here I'm just using them willy-nilly. That's very different - a DVI-I port has both the native analogue signal pins (that weird bunch on one side, with the flat large pin) as well as native digital pins. DVI was designed with passive adapters in mind. Try those simple adapters in a DVI-D port which lacks the analogue, and you won't get far. DisplayPort to VGA always requires some extra circuitry, but yeah, you can still easily buy these (in varying quality, admittedly).
