Started to watch the second video... It's the first time I hear someone calling a network card a "NIC". I've heard and used "N.I.C.", but never NIC.

I haven't seen the second video you linked, but for the one with the SuperMicro 4027GR-TR enclosure, it's obvios that this guy ddoesn't know much about SuperMicro's lineup. All the models with LGA2011 finishing with a 7 (like 402[b]7[/7]) are for the first and second generation of Xeon E5. The...

Time for a job change!

So in essence, a single 10Gb connection behaves like a quad 2.5Gb etherchannel connection by default under Windows? Weird.

The thing is, I don't see a way I could have fixed this quickly. Even when you perfectly know what to do in order to fix a morbidly obese exchange database, fixing it isn't quick. It involves transferring hundred of gigabytes of data and that takes a lot of time. That and also that it would...

I just want to let you know that I've managed to split the database into three smaller ones. The largest database is ~370GB, while the other two are ~330GB and 130GB. I still have 28 accounts to remove which belong to former employees. Overall, I've cleaned more than 50 useless accounts...

This is (was) a firewall problem on BIKEDESK. The name Microsoft gives to various network categories is only the way its firewall behaves towards those networks. If you can ping any computer from BIKEDESK but no computer can get an answer from BIKEDESK, then it's because the rules in...

You have both models? This is the transfert graph of the Fit series?

I need this to connect a 4K TV in a meeting room. Cheapest small computer that would be able to drive a 4K TV at 60Hz and establish an RDP connection to an RDS server within our local domain. I've seen the HP t730 thin client, which is ~700U$ here. I'm not sure an Intel Skylake NUC is able to...

According to a source of absolutely unknown reliability, Zen's IPC is roughly equal to Broadwell, which is good news IMO for AMD since Intel is moving at a snail pace these days. So even with an October launch, like rumored today, with chips with twice as many cores as Intel, Zen could still...

Ah, I should have thought about it. The command worked, but I only have 88MB free on a 930GB database. I guess I'll have to move stuff to another database like I thought I would do. I'm more or less ok with the disk free space. By moving accounts to another database and removing the old one...

This one : or this one : ?

There isn't time to outsource anything, David. I'm days or at most a week from being truly f*cked. Once this is fixed, then I'll I'll think about longer term solutions. Right now, I'm in emergency mode.

Hmm... the term Get-MailboxDatabase is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, blablabla... But when I search it, Google tells me it should work. I hate Microsoft.

In the past, my predecessor tried to enforce quota on mailbox size, but there were always lazy project manager who complained that they didn't have the time to clean up and that they really needed all of their junk to fullfil their project and blablabla. I think I'll enforce my own policies as...

On our Exchange 2010 server, one of the mailboxes is dangerously close to the limit Exchange allows. It was 979GB before I worked on it to move user accounts to other server mailboxes. I moved ~150GB worth of user accounts. Yet, after I defragmented it (dismount database, then go to CMD and...

We have an FTP server and we'll soon have a business Open Drive cloud account.

The Canon guys I've met were all proud to tell me that HP Laserjet printers were actually made by Canon. I thought it was the other way around, but I knew they came from the same place.

We've set a 20MB limit on e-mail attachments. People here often try to mail 80MB PDF files and each and every time, despite the clear message they get about the reason the mail failed to be delivered, it seems like a complete surprise and novelty to them. I often just highlight the reason the...

Yes. It is all over the news : http://www.extremetech.com/computing/224420-new-ie11-update-may-sneak-windows-10-upgrade-options-into-security-patch It's not even a good idea to block the update causing this since it also patches vulnerabilities. It is an utter dick-move by the bastards at...

We won't need to go as far as using an RFID module on the printers, but a simple ID code would be nice. The Konica Minolta seller says his C368 model has security features that works just as well as the Canon, but your comments tend to prove him wrong. My Scrooge director leans on the Konica...

Something like that?

If it was ours, our company's director would say that it's still working more or less like a new and wouldn't see the need to replace it. He's cheap like that.

In any case, the consensus seems to be that there's nothing really wrong with Canon, a lot of bad sides with Xerox and somewhere in between with Konica Minolta. Isn't it right?

So what do you use at your office? Konica Minolta? If Xerox and Minolta are the only two you know about, then I assume these are the only two you use(d).

You can use a coupler like this one for the cable inside your wall : https://www.tripplite.com/duplex-multimode-fiber-optic-coupler-lc-lc~N455000PM/ And then plug another fiber patch cord to link your equipment on the other side. Fiber cables aren't nearly as robust as copper wires though...

We are re-evaluating our contracts for our office copiers (12 overall). We've been with Konica Minolta for years, but now both Canon and Xerox offered us very interesting offers. I haven't heard many nice things about Xerox's customer support and satisfaction over the past few decades, so I'm...

Something similar happened when we ordered a laptop from ProVantage to ship to one of our workers in Oregon. He chose express delivery, but for some reason, they changed it to ground delivery. At least they didn't charge for the express. Not everyone working at the shipping of those big...

I've never tried, but I knew it could be done. I've been thinking of setting up a CAD server for our mechanical drawers for a while, at the office. The Ubuntu+KVM guide is also interesting, albeit a lot more challenging.

Cortana is disabled on my W10 system. Therefore, the chances I get a "Cortana has crashed" error are quite slim.

I'd never heard about it, so thanks. I'll try it for sure.

It might not occur to you, but to some people, being offered too low for an object is downright insulting. Some people deliberately ask more than what they think their object is worth, because they expect to be bargained. Others only ask what they believe is a fair price for their item and...

Hummingbirds can kiss goodbye to their private life!

Did you, by any chance, configure replication on the VMs on the Samsung SSD? If you did, deactivate it and check if the issue persist. VM replication still doesn't work well on Hyper-V 2012 R2. It created weird issues when I enabled it on some VM in my main cluster, more than a year ago. I...

The Raspberry Pi 3 was launched today and it features the same processor as the Pine A64. It is more or less comparable to the 19$ version of the Pine A64, except that it lacks the gigabit Ethernet port (stuck at 100Mbps) and cost 35$ instead of 19$.

Those look like sequential transfert tests. There's supposed to be a significant hit on random writes because of the parity calculation on RAID 6. I haven't seen much performance comparison between RAID types recently and I admit that my knowledge of this is based on stuff I read more than a...

Our two SolidWorks workers have this mouse at the office. They say they couldn't work without it.

That did not work. And it did. Thank you both for your suggestions.

Probably because you have jewish blood in your veins. Stereodude : the Gordon Gekko of our forum.

I don't know about MadVR, but MPC-HC is a variant of Media Player Classic (like v. 6.4) and Foobar 2000 is probably the most efficient audio player there is.

The Xeon D-1587 benchmarks are in : faster than a dual-Xeon E-2620 V3 server, with a single 65W chip. Less available memory, but still, quite the deal IMO.

No. I frown at my car and order it to start. And it does, every time.

It is pure speculation. While it is plausible, so much can happen between now and 2020 that Bloomberg's prediction isn't any better than the octopus' pick for the world cup of soccer or Phil's forecast for Winter's end on February 2nd.

They are generally fine up to ~-25°C. Below that, it's a good idea to use them for at least half-an-hour once or twice a day. Below -30°C, sometimes even those with a new battery have a hard time starting. Some car models hold up better than others.

Another thing I didn't think I would read. JTR earning twice as much as David. That's like having someone telling me, twelve years ago, that I would weight 20lbs more than Merc someday. Well, it happened too.

Here, we are enduring Winter's coldest weather right now. It will drop to -26°C during the night (currently only -21°C).

I need more cores at home to test various computer stuff architectures. I don't want to increase my electrical consumption too much either (because of the increased heat and noise related to it). A single or dual Xeon D-1587 setup would be awesome for me. I could simulate a cluster, a backup...

BTW, the upcoming Xeon D-1587 I'm so eager to own should work at 2GHz or slightly above, while fitting in the same power enveloppe as the E5-2650L v3, but with 4 additional cores and more L3 cache.

TDP increases drastically when you bump frequency. The Xeon D-1571 operates at only 1.3GHz, versus 3GHz< for the Core i7 and Xeon E3. A lower-frequency chip often is much more power efficient. For instance, a Xeon E5-2687W v3 has a 160W TDP and it has an operating frequency of 3.1GHz. A...
