The worst is when you find an older show, start watching it, really get into it, and then realise they only have Season 1, or the first couple of Seasons, but not the rest.:( Sometimes, you might get lucky, and find the later seasons on another streaming service, but usually you have to resort to torrents to find the rest of the show.
I'm okay with Netflix not having current TV shows in their streaming catalog, or not having the current season. But for a show that's been off the air for awhile, only having the beginning is worse than not having it at all.
Which requires a specific server NIC (and 10 Gbps or faster at that) and a server version of Windows. We're talking about desktop Windows and Linux here.
Basically, you can't do multiple tagged vlans on an interface with desktop Windows, which is something that can be easily done with desktop Linux.
No, that only allow you to set a single vlan tag onto an interface. Big whoop. In that case, you may as well just set the vlan ID for the switch port you are plugged into. At least that will work with any and every NIC out there (and is completely OS agnostic).
But, that's not what I asked for. I want to know how to assign multiple vlan tags to a single NIC in Windows. I have yet to find a way to do that.
My Linux station at work right now has 3 vlans tagged onto the single physical NIC, allowing my station access to 3 separate IP subnets. You can't do that with Windows.
Can you configure a NIC into vlan trunk mode and use multiple tagged vlans yet (and completely block untagged vlan)? That's something I've banged my head against the desk over many times with Windows XP and 7. Haven't tried on anything higher yet. I've just given up on using tagged vlans on Windows.
Mobiles are prett much PERFECT for a turn-based RPG like the old Pools of Radiance and other "gold box" game's of the 90s.
Sure, there are ports of Dungeon Warrior and Final Fantasy, but there are no new, original turn-based RPGs available. Something you can lose yourself in for weeks, but only need to play for 10 minutes at a time. The closest I've found is Great Little War Game series.
Most 2016 flagship smartphones include this feature: Personalised Audio. The Galaxy S7 and HTC 10 both include it; not sure about the LG G5.
I've used it on my Galaxy S7, and it actually makes a pretty big difference to how the audio sounds to me.
Plug in headphones, go into a quiet room, run the Adapt Sound feature, and it plays beeps in alternating ears at different frequencies and loudness. You press the button to show you can hear (or not) the beeps, and it creates a per-ear eq setting to normalise the audio.
Sure, but then you'd have to choose on how to utilize the space - install a gazillion voltaic panels or a parking lot for the employees?
That's not an either/or situation. Just raise the "gazillion voltaic panels" 7 feet or so off the ground, and voila! Parking-lot sized carport. You get the solar power benefits, the employees get shaded parking that protects their vehicles from rain and sun. Win-win all around.
There's a few malls (or maybe just Wal-Marts?) around the US that are doing something similar, but on a smaller scale. Just little islands of panels around the parking lot to power the lights at night.
So far. The systemd devs have been trying to get their hooks into the kernel in various ways. The latest was kdbus. Linus has managed to keep their horrible code out of the kernel thus far, but it'll be interesting to see how long he can hold out.
The best bit of incompatibility with MS office products was the ability of MS Works to open MS Word documents... and the inability of MS Word to open MS Works documents. There was a downloadable plugin one could install to convert Works to Word, but the flagship office product couldn't load the files from their other office product.
Was a real pain back when MS Works was included by default on new machines that people used for work/school, and they couldn't transfer files to computers using the full MS Office suite without jumping through a bunch of extra hoops.
We cut the cord 2 or 3 years ago, switching to an Internet-only package at a drastically reduced rate (compared to what we were originally paying). We try to keep the costs to around $ 80/mth, while getting more than 25 Mbps (currently 60 Mbps).
Every year, they offer us a triple-play package (basic cable + 1 or 2 channel packs, VoIP phone service, bump up a tier in Internet) for 6 months at no additional cost. We take it, mainly for the bump in Internet speed, and then cancel everything back to Internet-only after the 6 months is up.:)
We've done that 3 times now. And every time we cancel, we let them know it's because of the ridiculous pricing they charge for cable packages. Hoping they'll eventually get the message that their cable costs are driving customers away... but not holding my breath.:D
My Grandpa ate a clove of garlic every day, and never got sick (no colds, no flus, no pneumonia, no bronchitis, etc). The only ailment he got was the heart attack that killed him (but even that was mild in that he took a shower, walked into his bedroom, sat down on the bed, and just collapsed quietly and passed away).
When we have fresh garlic in the house, we try to munch on it while we're cooking dinner (even the kids). Makes those weeks much more pleasant (although our breath isn't). Then we tend to forget we have it, it goes bad, and we don't buy any for awhile.
I've heard the garlic pills help with the bad breath and burning, but aren't as effective as eating fresh garlic.
Really? Because a lot of the styrofoam around here has the little recycle icon on it, with a number inside (usually 6 or 7 or something like that); and items with that icon and those numbers are accepted at the recycling depots around here.
Somehow, I don't think the recycle depots are taking in the styrofoam for free and just turning around and burning it.
Telus does something similar in the larger cities up here. They put in a new cell tower, but leave it powered off/disconnected. Wait a couple of months for the lawsuits and complaints to start pouring in, then reveal that nothing is running yet. All the complaints stop and lawsuits are thrown out. A little while after that, they turn the cell tower on, without telling anyone. Seems to have cut down on the amount of time wasted in the court system for them.:)
No, with dedupe enabled, ZFS runs best with 1 GB of ARC space (including L2ARC) for every TB of unique data in a pool.
With dedupe turned off, all data is unique, but then you need less ARC to manage it.
We have a couple of 40 TB pools running with only 32 GB of RAM without issues.
We also have a couple 96 TB pools running with 128 GB of RAM; one even has dedupe enabled and runs without issues.
And I've run it at home on a P4 system with only 2GB if ram without issues. Nursing from raidz1 using 160G drives, to raidz1 with 250G drives, to multiple mirror vdevs with 500G drives. Then from 32-bit FreeBSD to 64-bit FreeBSD, and finally to 1T drives (4 GB RAM). That's also my home desktop, Plex server, file server, etc).
You don't *NEED* a lot of ram to run zfs. But it will run better if you can add more into a system.
Install the beadm port and you get the same boot environment setup. It was actually available on FreeBSD first. PC-BSD just included it in their installer image.
It would be nice if North American business instituted "siesta time" across the board. A nice 20-40 minute nap after lunch would really improve productivity in the afternoons.
Flat Ethernet cables are very easy to push under baseboards without using any tools. I've wired up several rooms in our house using those without any issues. Currently only running 100 Mbps switches, but the cables will support gigabit (Cate5e and Cat6 are available in flat versions on monoprice.com).
Uhm, 802.11n most definitely works on the 2.4 GHz band. Supports up to 450 Mbps using 3 spatial streams.
It also supports the 5 GHz band, again for 450 MHz using 3 spatial streams. It's the bridge protocol between the two bands, with g only on 2.4 and ac only on 5 GHz.
In our schools, we turned off 802.11g (or lower) support (802.11n or better required) completely. Network utilization and efficiency jumped 30%. We had under 20 devices across the school district that couldn't connect after that.
We also upped the multicast rate to 22 Mbps. This forces devices to reconnect to closer APs and switch APs when wandering around the buildings.
Unfortunately, the local cable company has been putting their free WiFi hotspots around the city, with the ones around our schools using directional antennas... pointed directly at our schools! Plus, we have apartment and townhouse complexes next to most of our secondaries, so our APs can detect 50+ home APs.:(

Uhm, no.
ZFS-on-Linux is the project that creates a kernel module for all the ZFS bits, and integrates the filesystem into the Linux storage stack.
It's not as stable and reliable as the FreeBSD setup, but it's a geek of a lot more stable and performant than the old FUSE-based setup on Linux .
Can you configure a NIC into vlan trunk mode and use multiple tagged vlans yet (and completely block untagged vlan)? That's something I've banged my head against the desk over many times with Windows XP and 7. Haven't tried on anything higher yet. I've just given up on using tagged vlans on Windows.

Works for corded and Bluetooth headphones.

Approx 3 weeks after it's complete, tested, and ready for day-to-day use. ;)
