I'd say people doing their own upgrades didn't care about 'apple approved' parts. I bought dozens of macbooks for my employer with base specs and immediately popped a SSD and 3rd party ram in them upon receipt. It was way cheaper and if anything went wrong, I'd put the original parts back and send it in for repair.
Basically it runs the Unifi controller on a tiny PoE device. The reason they call it 'cloud' is because they have a portal site you can use to access it anywhere in the world (if you enable it). But basically just a simple way to run the unifi controller.
I'd love to do that, only the ERL and ERL-X can't handle my 1gbps internet connection. They seem to top out in the 6-700 hundred range and the netgear router my ISP provided me can hit 860's.
Free market dictates that ticket companies that can't protect themselves from bots should go out of business and be replaced by ones that can. This is major government overreach. TRUMP!
No, they are saying "We created this great new scripting language, but you really shouldn't run unsigned untrusted scripts without acknowledging you are taking a risk"
You can do anything you want at the prompt, only scripts require you to change these settings. If you turn on developer mode then all local scripts can be trusted by default as well. You could also sign your scripts to ensure this is not a problem.
Fine then, go edit your powershell profile, put the command in there. Now every time you open powershell it will be done for you. It's how I handle vmware's powercli extensions to powershell and the AD extensions, and my own extensions.
I keep saying it, MS wants out of the OS business. They want to build 'cloud' and charge you by the minute. Developing server/desktop OS is not the business they want to be in.
4K video streaming (26mbps per stream recommended) Multiple users (each wifi device can get 150-300mbps) Upload speed (everything lives in the cloud now) Improved support from comcast (they actively monitor my connection and have proactively fixed issues) More overhead to handle congestion (when I had 150mbps I'd sometimes slow down to 50-75mbps, now I slow down to 500-600mbps) I get a stipend from work (so it's about as expensive as the 50mbps plan) Big numbers on speed tests (So I feel like a big man)
We just (and I mean in the last month) got access to 1gbps internet from comcast in our area. There was no special price, if there was I would have gotten it, I was one of the first installs.
I am in no way calling a user stupid. My point is that installing an OS, as simple as it seems to anyone who has done it a few times is still a learned skill. It requires knowing how to make bootable media, what drives are, what partitions are, etc. It's a skill and one that I wouldn't expect average users to have. They expect to use the computer, not work on the computer.
While most linux distros are damn easy to install. It's not so easy for an average user anymore. Most new laptops and desktops are missing that cdrom drive all together and making a bootable usb disk isn't as easy as burning an iso (which many people are incapable of doing anyway).
Installing an OS might as well be magic for 70% of users.
Because we can expect that in powershell the output of one command is immediately useful as the input of another. Something that typically can't be done with a text based shell. Instead of "run command", "parse output into usable form of input" "run next command" You can skip that 2nd step.
It speeds of script development and allows you to have vastly superior filtering and control of the data without the middle men.
Well being that linux on azure is a huge business for MS, I think it will probably run pretty well eventually. I think at this stage MS is hoping the community does that work for them, but in the end I expect they will do it.
I don't think you understand me. I was a solaris and redhat admin for over a decade before moving to windows. I know what we can do with a *nix shell. Powershell has abilities that are down right hard to match simple because you are not working with text, you are working with powershell objects. This means input and output from all cmdlets is instantly usable.
Example, let's say I need to get a list of users out of active directory that have not accessed the system in the last 30 days and deactivate them.
I don't need to try to deal with the output of these commands as text. I can simply trust that the object put out by each command is compatible with every other command.
Let's take it a little further. I run vmware and I have developers who abandon test machines. I have installed the vmware powercli extensions to powershell. I now want to find machines that are inactive in my network and straight up delete them from vmware. These machines are 90 days inactive.
(assuming I've already issued the command to connect to my vmware environment) $lastSetdate = [DateTime]::Now - [TimeSpan]::Parse("90") $computersToDelete = Get-ADComputer -Filter {PasswordLastSet -le $lastSetdate} -SearchBase “OU=Dev,OU=Servers,DC=mylab,DC=com” $computersToDelete | Remove-ADComputer Get-VM $computersToDelete | Remove-VM
You combine this with tools like DSC and you have a very powerful toolset to manage your environment. No need for puppet and no need to try to string a bunch of random exes with their own input and output together to do something interesting. Also, because it is.NET I can do anything with it that.NET can do (for better or worse).
*Note, these scripts were written on the fly without testing, they may contain errors*
Powershell can be really powerful. Everything is a object and it allows you to easily write your own cmdlets and modules to extend the shell. No more parsing the text output of one command to create input to another. It's really very slick.
The future for them is linux. There is no value in writing operating systems as we move to the cloud. The value is in charging monthly to host those systems and writing tools to use and manage those systems.
I have a 65inch 4K screen at home, my favorite recliner, and the ability to pause and take a piss. Why would I ever want to spend 20 bucks on popcorn and 15 bucks on a ticket to sit with the rabble and watch a movie I can't pause? Not to mention the filth, noise, and other garbage. Miss a moment? Too bad! You can't rewind! Drank that coke too fast? Well I hope you don't mind missing 5 minutes of that film. Don't worry though you can just talk over it when you get back to find out what you missed!
Exactly, I keep my windows desktop for 1 reason and one reason only. If you ruin my large collection of games I will have no reason to keep my windows PC around anymore. I"ll just go back to what I used before, linux.

As long as stackoverflow isn't blocked I can still get everyone else to write my code, so I'm good!
You got it.
Basically it runs the Unifi controller on a tiny PoE device. The reason they call it 'cloud' is because they have a portal site you can use to access it anywhere in the world (if you enable it). But basically just a simple way to run the unifi controller.
Totally, I use 3 Unifi AC access points currently.
1 on the first floor
1 on the second floor
1 in the garage faced out to the back yard so the deck gets wifi.
I also use their cloud controller, it all works rather well.
I'd love to do that, only the ERL and ERL-X can't handle my 1gbps internet connection. They seem to top out in the 6-700 hundred range and the netgear router my ISP provided me can hit 860's.

You think double like is dangerous, try double dead lock.

I would think step one would be figuring out how to freeze people and bring them back a week or two later. Then we can talk about this again.

It's a combo of many things.

Multiple users (each wifi device can get 150-300mbps)
Upload speed (everything lives in the cloud now)
Improved support from comcast (they actively monitor my connection and have proactively fixed issues)

I got a echo free at a tech show. It is impressive enough that I plan to get the new small ones for the whole house.

You probably don't have the AD cmdlets installed. Install the RSAT tools on your desktop or try the command from a server.
