Working from Starbucks today. Internet lines being fixed (hopefully the right way this time) at my house today. And I have a Conference to attend as a vendor this afternoon as well.

At least you have a ready supply of coffee!

Curious what MLers pay for rent/mortgage per month.
My rent for 800sq ft apartment is now 1300/month.
Id buy a house but house prices avg 750k here now unless i want to spend 3 hours a day commuting.I own a 3/2 split level, 1400 sq ft, $750/month. Much longer commute, but it's a great house.
I don't remember the square footage, but I was paying $1k/month for a 1 bedroom apartment (it was really nice, but that's about the average for a 1 br).
Home prices in my area - around $150-200k for 3-4 bedrooms. Substantially higher in the area around the office (couldn't find anything under $400k)

@scottalanmiller
What is the point of using powershell to do something? Cant do a GD thing without being in admin mode. Why even have a nonprivileged mode?
Everytime i try to use it, even for simple things, i have to close my current session and reopen as administrator. So annoying. Where is sudo equivalent? Ive seen these fake sudo functions people make for powershell. MS has had 15 years to do this correctly, and has done not a single bleeping thing about it. -

Except, when I'm in BASH on Linux, I can go all down without needing those permissions. PS just isn't used for much yet, but in theory it could be. On Linux I actually work in the shell all day, so needing su or sudo isn't very common because I'm doing normal tasks, not admin ones, most of the time.
The issue is on Windows, PS is used almost exclusively to manage the OS rather than to actually do tasks, hence the weird issue that UAC is constantly needed.

Just always run as admin.

Just installed powershell 6. run it, try to update the help files. Just LOL.

On Linux, I can use
sudo pwshto have admin privileges when using PowerShell.# Admin Privileges sudo pwsh # Non-Admin Privileges pwsh -

@jaredbusch Is that considered slow? 40 minutes for 26 miles would be best traffic since the 1990s here.

No he isn't going to "get it" you're the person being a dumbass in yesterdays case. @momurda understands the issue, whereas you're refusing to take what I told you as a fact because of your inexperience administering windows.

You didn't tell me anything. We weren't discussing Windows, we were discussing the value of a blank video. You are just making up that I even responded about the Windows issue other than to point out over and over that I wasn't talking about it.

And again, you're skipping facts. . . Clearly the video isn't blank, it goes blank for the 6 seconds I'm typing credentials into a UAC prompt.

I think you've always had to run an elevated session of PowerShell to run
update-help. -

Sorry, just focusing on the relevant bit. The bit with the timing that was the only purpose of the video is blank.
How obtuse can you be? This is SO simple. The video is useless. Admit it, move on instead of trying to blame other people for random things just bceause you failed to make a point.
