Comment Its not information overload (Score 2) 133

You brought up the shallows in the summary. But the issue isn't that you have information overload, the issue is that you keep surfacing new ideas all the time. Stop what you're doing. Turn off reddit and pick 2 or 3 places for information and check them on a schedule. Not when you're bored, not when you have free time. The problem is that a person gets attuned to the constant 'ding' new thing alert, its the same thing as someone playing slots in vegas. Just choose when it is time to look at things, stick to the schedule and problem solved.

In my experience in IT having called Microsoft about a dozen times, if they say that they are at fault for the issue they will refund the cost of the case you opened to have an issue resolved.
This includes bugs in their software and patches that were installed that broke something (like an exchange cluster for a hospital).
I believe I have had to pay when they say the only way to fix it is to reformat and reinstall, and that was after 20 hours of troubleshooting.

I've been experiencing other odd issues with SmartCards related to windows 10. I couldn't tell you what version of Windows 10 I'm on at my office. But, it's the weirdest damned thing I've experienced. I've been able to use my smartcard (yubikey) with windows 10 to the point where I've been able to load my certificate into pagent and ssh access my normal resources, but when logging into the domain it only lets me access local resources. So every time I elevate on my local computer to manage the domain, it says I don't have access.

Comment Kinetic Bombardment (Score 1) 642

I see a lot of people deriding this but isn't this the same thing as the Kinetic Bombardment as described by the below Wikipedia article? Is there something inherently wrong with her assertions, or is the density of rock found on the moon not conducive to this kind of attack?

I think there isn't a lot of indicate of what would make something a 4 vs a 5 in a lot of cases to the point where people like something and don't want to penalize it. But, as far as I can recall, Google or Youtube (don't know who owned it when it changed) Had the same problem with their video reviews. 99% of people were only doing 1 and 5 stars (or whatever their ranking was out of). Anything that was in the middle people didn't bother to review and 2s and 4s were not used. They switched to Thumbs up/down and started getting a lot more useful data.

Why would you use robocopy like this? Instead of running the job every 5 minutes if you want to make sure it is up todate all the time, how about you schedule it to run daily with a watch command for number of files changed or time changed depending on what you want?cm

>robocopy /?

      ROBOCOPY :: Robust File Copy for Windows /MON:n :: MONitor source; run again when more than n changes seen. /MOT:m :: MOnitor source; run again in m minutes Time, if changed.

I don't know where it is, but I've experienced this once. We created a file (blank txt file) and then deleted it and it was still there and then we were getting errors deleting it. We even went so far as to go to CMD and delete it, and try and use UAC to runas an administrator and it STILL wouldn't delete.

I think we logged off and on before it showed that it was gone.
