How did I miss that one? I thought I mentioned to look at the capacity setting in Settings/Storage & Retention/Backup Devices. Since the release of 7.5, I've seen a few systems that have it set to 200GB by default (glitch). It should be a custom size, equal to the actual allocated backup space in the D2D storage (something like 4898GB on an 824, for example). But, I'm glad you found it and got it fixed. Hopefully that will go away in the next updates, but it's been happening fairly regularly for the past few weeks.

They had Mavericks then Yosemite. It's named after things in California since 10.9.

I thought Yosemite was Wyoming...

That's Yellowstone. My bad.

@Rob-Dunn Cool! I haven't cracked my Powershell book today, as it's been busy enough to post all day.

If you are booting from UEFI mode (not legacy mode), you must use FAT32 as UEFI won't boot from NTFS.

I haven't had this issue, I can boot from UEFI into a NTFS configured drive. Possibly a special UEFI designed around that, I have no idea.

Exactly.

The UEFI specification explicitly requires support for FAT32 for EFI System partitions (ESPs), and FAT16 or FAT12 for removable media;[20]:section 12.3 specific implementations may support other file systems.

I've not seen him around in a bit.

Given that Fortivoice put the call on hold and after days of not working it magically started in those few minutes... I think we have the answer.

I've not met these IT guys. I don't think that that is a realistic statement at all. I'd say saying 2% would be fine would be a stretch. Most IT people I see run as admin and are pretty reckless with security.

Yeah, because of places like this, when i did my last PC upgrade (to windows 😎 I moved to a two user account setup. 1 non admin for normal working - like this posting, 2 admin for admin stuff.

A bit of a pain, but MS really does have it down pretty well now prompting me when it needs elevated permissions.

Now I'm picturing @ajstringham with huge hands like this:

ROFL! That'd be awesome!

What kind of stuff did you make?

I did data retrieval systems for manufacturing when I started. Taught for a bit. Did most of my work in infectious waste tracking and reporting systems.

I think one about dealing with vendors and engaging them inside and outside of social media might be interesting too.

That's a solid idea. I talked about the fact you should engage them, but haven't really ever written about how. I like it!

I am still waiting for the dev to give me more info on the type of request/data transfer happens between the tab and server. If it's just a Web service request then my life is easier, webserver with ssl and am done. Initial info is that it's a Web service.

Coming from Apache, I would assume so.

@JaredBusch YMMV. My experience has been good.

I'm giving up on Skype. I'm just giving up my account. I've had scottalanmiller there since Skype was brand new. But I've seldom been as unhappy with a service that I kept around as much as Skype. I'm kind of happy to be done with it. I won't miss that at all. Anyone who only contacts me there is just out of luck.

@scottalanmiller That looks great!
How open to malicious content is it?

ES File Explorer seems to work for me on Android 4.0

Thanks.

It's a cute idea. I wonder how much anyone would care about the games that you can play with it, though. I'm not going to take that with my friends to the bar to play with while waiting for drinks.

Maybe they are like the Silence and you can't remember them once you have looked away.

And I want any call to that device to go to me, not to whoever is holding it.

You don't really (at least easily) have this ability now.

So how would AD made this any different?
By turning the device into a multi-user device. That's AD's function, to make things easily multi-user.

Awesome. Thanks!

Job security pro tip: Never bag/disrespect your employer or their products online. The Internet NEVER forgets.

Because it impacts not just that employer but future ones too who see that there is a high risk of you publicly being unsupportive of them while you work there and when you leave.

Let's say Microsoft wants to hire you. They do a search and realize that you have a history of talking poorly about your current employers or their products or just supporting competitor's products while doing so. And talking about them after you are no longer employed. Why would they take a risk on you? It's a high risk for them, employees talking bad about products is far worse than random Internet people.
