so I don't have the download and definitely not upload to spare
Maybe setting the connection as "metered" may help?
Maybe. Dunno how good MS is at actually honoring it, though, considering that OneDrive keeps on using data until I tell it not to. (And it nags me about the fact.)

@atazhaia said in The Official Status Thread:
@dkf Yeah, but my connection is MilwaukeePC atm, so I don't have the download and definitely not upload to spare. Also, it's the only Windows computer on the network so there are no other computers locally to optimize. And I disabled the "BitTorrent" part of the service already, so it only downloads from MS and doesn't upload to the internet. (Although it would be "fun" to see it try and do any meaningful upload with 0.1Mbit/s.)
But did you change the option from "PCs on my local network, and PCs on the Internet"? That's the default. Since I have multiple computers here, I set it as "PCs on my local network". Otherwise, I'd turn it off.

@e4tmyl33t You gets GIFTS?
I haven't had one of those since age 13!
Hell, I don't even get cards anymore. From my family that is. But my dentist sends one!

Got up as normal. Walked to train station. "Hmm, traffic seems pretty light." "Wow, there's a lot of parking at the station... Wait. Fuck." Turn around, walk home.
It's President's Day in the US. Yes, it's a holiday for us (though not all companies).

@ben_lubar That xkcd always amuses me for the reactions it induces in others. The argument from entropy is a very sound one, but some people keep on wanting to add silly substitutions to make something hard to remember anyway.
Yeah.
Want to make the password more secure? Add another word. The entire point of the comic is that substitutions that make passwords harder for humans to remember do not make them significantly harder for computers to guess.

@ben_lubar Your password has been rejected. Reason: It does not contain numbers. It does not contains symbols. It is too long.

Your password has been rejected because it contains the following forbidden substrings:

I'm still arguing with an IT team over here regarding a software we have to use that "New password every 3 months due to security" is counterproductive. Cargo cult at its finest.

@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
I always wondered why that wasn't a thing. Everywhere else you can ctrl-click to multi select you can ctrl-click to deselect a selected item. But with Excel, you might be trying to enter a formula that for some reason needs the same cell twice in a row, so of course it doesn't work.
Oh, you know the answer:
Big business clients use Excel for weird stuff it wasn't designed for -> Microsoft has to support that weird stuff -> weird design requirements get into the program
There's probably plenty of banks out there with a spreadsheet that requires you to select 45 different, overlapping cell ranges by hand to calculate something, so Microsoft has to make Excel work like that.

It almost makes me think of a new lockscreen entry method. You're given a grid, and must correctly select your cells in the right order in order to unlock...
Should I put that in the Evil Ideas thread?

That exists, on LG phones if I remember correctly. Used to have it on mine (I liked it because the unlock screen was just a blank black screen that gave no indication of what you were supposed to do).

Um, okay.

Future proofing for when you need to update existing inventory!Yeah, but that's a separate proc than this one... The one this is in, it should always be inserting a new record (because it's taking one thing from the saved inventory and splatting it into the world inventory)
Writing the update now...
Msg 334, Level 16, State 1, Procedure PRCH_INVData_Update, Line 5 [Batch Start Line 438] The target table 'dbo.PRCH_INVData' of the DML statement cannot have any enabled triggers if the statement contains an OUTPUT clause without INTO clause.
Ah... So I'm going to have to create a temp table to hold my one record because raisins...

@cartman82 "We're trying something that's never been done before - centralized blockchain. It's like normal blockchain, except instead of it using crowdsourced verification, we verify all the transactions locally. It's much faster and more secure that way.' proceed to describe SQL Server
Not just stupid but wrong.
The Iota crypto-currency already uses a "private blockchain" which is essentially a relational database. And they've been scamming that thing for like 18 months.
-
@blakeyrat The point is not that it is right. The point is that you have sold something that is not blockchain to someone who has Blockchain Derangement Syndrome.
-
@pie_flavor I meant wrong as if "we're the first to pull this scam" wrong. Yes both variations are still a scam.

Think of the upside. As long as you stick to Youtube Kids, you'll never run across the facial compilation I made with your mom.

@lorne-kates Are you stupid or something? YouTube allows absolutely zero nudity.
Come on. At least my insults make sense.

But I did crosspost it to multiple other video sites, just for redundancy.

False. I see partial nudity all the time, which as we all know, is waaayyy more than zero.

Well that puts a damper on my cleverness. Apparently, tables that have a trigger of
Instead of Insert
are basically unable to return any modified values from the result, therefore my identity will be returned as zero always despite actually having a legitimate value from the trigger.I don't think there's any way around this either, so looks like I'm going to have to bodge a select and try to match the inserted record to retrieve the ID... Ugh...

One of these days, @pie_flavor is going to get tired of being wrong. But not until he stops being a Disco Dev (because being constantly and perpetually wrong is a job requirement)
