prefect get one that's 5 GHz range and use that frequency and try changing the channels

i found out that if you give the 2.4 and 5 ghz channels different names, you can pick and choose between them. unfortunately, two rooms away doesn't seem to be close enough for consistent 5 ghz connections

might need to buy that super-broadcasting router that was mentioned

THE AIRPORT EXTREME

the tall airport time capsule extreme is poo poo, it delivers shamefully low file transfer speeds, it may be just that the whole mac file sharing is completely broken. access to shared volumes on the timecapsule is also crap.

running this query should tell me the physical memory that an SQL server has available right?

code:

select * from sys.dm_os_sys_memory
total_physical_memory_kb	available_physical_memory_kb	total_page_file_kb	available_page_file_kb	system_cache_kb	kernel_paged_pool_kb	kernel_nonpaged_pool_kb	system_high_memory_signal_state	system_low_memory_signal_state	system_memory_state_desc
4182924	867476	8612588	5560336	1417072	135928	62548	1	0	Available physical memory is high

I'm running it on a hosted server and it gives 4 gigs which seems shamefully low.

If I run

code:

SELECT object_name, counter_name, cntr_value AS 'Total Server Memory (KB)'
FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters 
WHERE counter_name = 'Total Server Memory (KB)'

I get 1638272 KB which for a sql server with probably 50 people connected to it, and 20 gigs of actively used databases seems so low that it shouldn't even work.

It sounds like the problem is that you aren't running Oracle.

We're using Symbol MC9whatever barcode scanners for our stockroom inventory and they are awful Windows Mobile 6 shitpiles that cost way too much money and I'm tired of seeing that much cash go to a company that isn't doing poo poo to advance their product. I'm looking long and hard at wrapping ipod touches up in these honeywell barcode cases https://www.honeywellaidc.com/en-US/Pages/Product.aspx?category=enterprise-sleds-for-apple-devices&cat=HSM&pid=captuvosl22v5 but I'm wondering if there's anything else out there I should be looking at. The Honeywell stuff is nice because they have 4 device charging bays. It's not a deal breaker and the shops guys could fabricate some kind of charging platform if we absolutely needed to do it, but just being able to buy something and having people drop the device in when they're done with it is nice and what the folks are already accustomed to with the Symbol devices.

is that total server memory or memory allocated to the instance you're connected to?

also lol @ 20 gigs of databases. thats adorable.

second one will definitely be total server memory. 16 gigs is probably overkill for your tiny baby database.

the earbuds that came with my iphone broke, so i went down to a shop and bought new ones. the new ones say they have a year warranty. does this mean that in future if the buds break b4 next summer that i can just go to the aapl store and get replacements

i don't really care about the cost but the idea that you'd have a warranty on headphones is weird to me

the point of 5ghz is it doesn't carry super-well so your neighbors' poo poo doesn't drown yours out

I would like to pay someone to be the relay for business e-mails, because gently caress having to deal with people in charge of mail systems.

I can find places that will let you use their servers for "transactional" messages and what not. I do not want to send thousands of newsletters to people, this is regular old e-mail to regular old people.

I don't need to filter incoming mail, I just need to throw a line into postfix for a smart_relay and wash my hands of this poo poo.

is this email one human sends to another? use an email provider

is this email a computer sends to one human at a time? that's "transactional," and mandrill by mailchimp works well
