40-minute reboots
What the shit is wrong with your computer?
But yeah, SSDs are stupidly faster for bootup. You'll find if you get a machine with UEFI instead of a BIOS and you enable UEFI boot, you gain time too.
-
the computers with static IP addresses assigned have about 10 public IPv6 addresses each. No idea why.
Why should the IPv6 address space miss out on address space exhaustion?

What the shit is wrong with your computer?
Symantec Antivirus which the corporate IT department requires to be installed. This system was not slow at all before then. Windows' built-in Performance Monitor would show a Symantec process hitting my disk with 10 - 20 MBps random I/O at all times. Also, disabling or uninstalling Symantec requires an "uninstall password" that only the corporate guys know, or a complete OS re-install which will eventually result in a phone call. "Our auditing software found your PC doesn't have the required antivirus installed..."

result in a phone call.
I worked a place once that did that bullshit. They gave me an audit report showing what was on my PC, by file name.
In your case I would recommend creating fake files that matched the real ones.
-
If it's just the files they're checking and not the registry, just copy the antivirus from a machine that has it and don't run it.

Putting skpswi.dat[1] in c:\ might be entertaining, too.
[1] I think that's the right filename.

Ha! Yeah...that should take care of the issue...

Finally got around to making your thai-wraps. I replaced your spice-mix-bought-where-they-don't-speak-english with a green curry mix and some satay sauce, and used cashew nuts instead for the crunch.
My five-year old, who is usually very picky with the food, finished a whole wrap and asked for seconds.
My wife made a lot of funny noises.
My nine-year-old continued talking unperturbed, but she too ate two of them.
I give this recipe:

Finally got around to making your thai-wraps.
One thing I just remembered, when I make the salad dressing I listed in the recipe for actual salads, I add a little bit of Sriracha to add heat. With the rest of the spices in the wraps, I left it out so that things did not get too hot.
Glad you liked it, and kind of cool that one of my inventions was prepared in Sweden.

I'ts the fish sauce what dunnit for me.

Ferment some fish and you Swedes are in.

Status: This thread makes me want to go make up peanut sauce again. Recipes are lame, so I really do just make it up each time. Lots of peanut butter, an amount of sriracha, some kind of garlic if I have any (usually some ungodly powder, possibly with pepper in), some soy sauce, and some milk to make it more of a liquid, stirred up on a plate. Then add rice from a rice cooker, and chicken if you feel like actually cooking things.
My sister tried doing it with a real recipe, and it was pretty much the same, except heat was involved.

I ate lunch early because I was hungry. And after reading that, I'm now hungry again.

We have to go deeper!
When I worked at VMware, I once had a VM running ESX. And in the was a number of VMs. And I was testing Workstation installation/usage. I often got lost. (Where the hell is ctrl-alt-del going to go!?!)
-
No. My systems don't.

Wasn't OnePlus that "indie" Android phone? Why is Qualcomm pitching it? Why is there a smug dragon?
Look at that smug motherfucker. You ain't better than me, dragon! You're garbage!!!
-
The three ought to be good, since the two was certainly well-recieved. After all, it's generally accepted that while stock android is better than what carriers do, cyanogenmod is better. Not having to install it yourself is a bit of a plus.
-
Ok but why is the dragon so smug.
-
Because if they left in the 'a', they'd get sued for copyright infringement.

Status: Grabbed an unused workstation to set up so I can test and debug some multi-system issues, and couldn't get a video signal out of it. Finally I swapped out the DVI-to-VGA adapter on it. The one it had, did not have the analog VGA pins on the DVI side of the plug. They weren't broken off or removed, it was clearly manufactured that way.

So...they changed the standard design in order to make an entirely useless product? Or am I missing something here?

Status: I have been mostly using a Mac for the past week for casual computer usage, and I have to say that I like it. I also must say that they do "discoverability" the right way. Just using the thing, I find features by accident that are genuinely helpful.
This is in contrast to the "discoverability" of Discourse, where you were supposed to find things that are undocumented, but you don't, because you don't use a website like a raving lunatic.

I'm guessing a complete lack of quality control at whatever Chinese sweat-shop mass-manufacturers all those DVI-to-VGA adapters that 95% of the time get pitched into the garbage after a new GPU purchase.

Status: fixing my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 with one of this:
Sad thing I had to go (virtually) all the way to Hong Kong to find a well known manufacturer's part. Oh, and the one I received is 5mm longer. At least it fitted, although not perfectly.

Status: 'No valid system partition found'
Edit: This is after I gave up trying to make the recovery disks from the recovery partition I just nuked because of constant errors in the Lenovo utility. I just moved all the partitions left and aligned them, maybe I need to fiddle the partition table by hand...

Status: I just embarrassed the hell out of a girl who works at a client's office. Their CEO brought up the whole Ashley Madison data breach, etc. She overheard the conversation.
Her: "Oh, are you talking about that website where people go to cheat on their spouses? Life is short, have an affair is their motto?"
Me: "You don't get married for a few months, if you know that much about them, you might want to rethink the whole marriage thing..."
She turned beet red, smiled and walked away.
-

Yes, that did it. Partition 1 overlapped Partition 0 somehow. Think PartedMagic must have thought I wanted some excitement. Well, that's 4 hours of unpaid overtime.

Ha! Hereabouts a license is good until age 65. After that, they last 5 years. I've got a couple decades before I need to set foot in the MVD again.
