@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
This side discussion should be Jeff'd, but essentially (pedantically) they both work (including VirtualBox) installed at the same time, so long as you don't try to use more than one at a time.
I found otherwise. With Hyper-V installed but not running, Virtualbox wouldn't allow me to create or run 64-bit VMs. VMWare did.

@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
@sloosecannon I don't know; I'm just saying that their product being incompatible with the Windows Phone Emulator sounds like their problem to me, not Microsoft's.
I think it's more of nobody's problem, because it's not a bug... It's more of a "Bug: 64-bit versions of the OS don't work on non-64 bit processors" type bug - of course it won't work, because the resources are in use. And the first-party component has top priority (not surprisingly)
Unless what @loopback0 said is true, but I could've sworn I had to turn off HyperV the last time I used VMWare too. If that is true, then yeah VirtualBox should fix that and do whatever VMWare does...

It was at least 18 months ago, but was really the only reason I'd installed VMWare at the time.
Once I decided against Hyper-V for other reasons and removed it, I went back to VirtualBox and removed VMWare too.

@Tsaukpaetra Installing VS will usually enable hyper-v.
I switch it on/off with:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
and
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
(admin cmd)Ok. this sucks in IE. I can't see what I'm typing again

How can they? A system component has taken over hardware they need!
VMWare works with Hyper-V installed. Or it did last time I had Hyper-V installed anyway.
edit: Actually I'm sure that even Virtualbox worked for 32-bit, it was just 64-bit that was disabled with Hyper-V installed.
No it doesn't. You have to enable l toggle it like I just posted.
ARCG!! This site SUCKS in Edge!!!
edit: should note, it's VMware workstation I've worked with. And toggling to use Hyper-V vms.

VirtualBox works if you disable VT-x for the particular VM. Are you sure VMWare just didn't do that quietly?

I'm pretty sure Hyper-V has a service that runs at boot.

Apparently, so long as I click on-click-overridden-elements (i.e. links and stuff, whatever) the highlighted stuff stays selected, and new stuff earns highlights too!(Ponies not included, must be 18 years or older to buy.)

Maybe. I didn't really look into it. VMWare worked as expected.
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

Maybe. I can't remember the specifics.
I put literally zero effort into looking into things as soon as I found out VMWare worked and it was over 18 months ago. Maybe longer.

Status: Today almost everything I was complaining in the last couple of month was agreed to be the right way. I feel like Blakey. I fear if I stay more, I wont have any excuse to leave my job but perhaps compensation but but I got a raise after 4 months without even asking for it! I may after all give it little more time. I am such a mercenary just like that.

@HardwareGeek Here's the deal: when I was a dumb kid I thought that when you went into a new tax bracket, that bracket applied to all your earnings (and not just the tiny bit outside the lower bracket). Obviously I soon figured out, no, that's not how it works.
But that's the only misconception I can think of that would cause someone to post, "oh damn I got a raise, this new tax bracket will kill me".
TL;DR: Astrid Lindgren realised in 1976 that she -because of various margin taxes- payed 102% in tax. She wrote a story about it and posted it in a newspaper as a debate. Eventually the sitting government was not re-elected because of it.

Status: I just bricked a device by setting a flag in the BIOS (UEFI Interface, whatever).
Disassembling it proved a Bad Idea as now the communication wire snapped off the battery pack (This is a Vensmile, BTW), and no luck finding a "CLEAR CMOS" equivalent jumper pad.I managed to blindly navigate the BIOS menus to hit "Restore Defaults" and save and reboot, but apparently THE FSCKING DEFAULTS ARE WRONG! (I could tell because the device did power cycle as expected).
Yep, it's a goner.

For BIOS it used to be like that all the time (many years ago)

This package contains classes for decoding the Microsoft Office Drawing format otherwise known as escher henceforth known in POI as the Dreadful Drawing Format.

It's surprisingly decent (if somewhat messy), and at least doesn't require Excel running on the server. Well, at least the .NET port.

Overhearing that the cubes in our new building will have half-height walls with glass panes.
At the place I worked two jobs ago, moving into those was the last straw that made me quit.
Oh, they were also 1/4 the size of the cubes in the old building. And us devs were dropped down in the middle of the collections department. Several of whom started complaining because we had two monitors and they didn't.
-
@FrostCat I heard these are "small" too, but I've not seen them. We do get half a floor entirely to ourselves though. IT is the largest department now.
-
@Yamikuronue We went from normalish 6x6 or 8x8 or whatever-sized ones with full-height walls to 3x3 ones in rows, with, as you mention, glass walls so the managers can walk down the long aisles and look all the way down to see if everyone "looks busy". All the devs had 2-3 desktop machines each, and not enough room for them. One of my co-workers resorted to piling them up on each other in the knee space. Later, we were told we had to get rid of all but one machine.
Did I mention we were put down in a giant room, right next to about 70 people in the collections department? Developer hell is being in a giant room with 70 people who are on the phone all day long.

This is one reason I keep an old Dell PowerEdge tower from 10+ years ago as a second workstation. It's a dual-socket system with two dual-core Pentium 4's (well, the Xeon version of a P4) with loud fans. It masks most of the office's ambient noise for me.

Status: done for today, and finally at home with the family again. TGIF.
Gave a lecture twice to two different groups (too many to fit into our largest lecture room in one sitting, so we had to split them). Search me if I managed to repeat all the important stuff or not, but I will notice that on Monday when I've got the next lecture with them.
A new thing was that both groups applauded me when I was done. This confirms my suspicion that they see me more as an entertainer than an educator.

The higher marginal rate can still be a bit depressing when you realize that your raise won't net you as much as you thought it would or whatever.

Status: "We screwed up our payroll for March, and undertaxed some people and overaxed others. We realize you told us the way to fix it is to issue 'adjustment checks' to get this month's payroll totals to balance in the system, and then next month to actually apply those adjustments, meaning altering all those people's paychecks to either take the unpaid tax or refund the extras, but that would mean doing two adjustments. We would rather just do the second adjustment next month, and leave the tax net low this month and net high next month, meaning it will balance out by May."
Fuck, I don't care. If you are OK with paying any penalties the local government will assess, you feel free to take the lazy way out.

Yeah, I think the default setting is to automatically detect if it should use VT-x.

How is it even "dreadful"? It's just a basic vector package. Sure, it's not Illustrator, but it's perfectly fine for office use.
