 @dustinb3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now: Wondering why the heck anyone would sell a microserver, and then to make it worse it has no server functionality at all. No out of band management, no capacity for raid (besides Windows) or Linux MD (which I can't use Linux) oh and then a Windows 10 Pro license with it as well... and what makes it a "server"?

My guess is the label, marketing or lead salesman.

 @wrcombs just to add to the confusion … there are hybrid SSD HDD made be Seagate. IIRC the controller puts frequently accessed stuff on the SSD and moves less accessed items to the HDD. I may be over simplifying it. Seagate didn’t jump on the all flash bandwagon at the start as they believed that hybrid devices were the future

I've seen worse scripts than this; however, all of its boolean tests are ($anActualBooleanValue -eq "True"), which apparently does work, but I wouldn't trust it.
- 
 @eddiejennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now: ($anActualBooleanValue -eq "True") "True" is a string. A boolean value would be $True or $False. $anActualBooleanValue -eq $TrueTechnically, you can do if ($anActualBooleanValue) {}

Hence my critique, and my surprise that the comparison to a string seemed to work. Needless to say those instances will be fixed.

Recovering a file from seven years ago? Wow - This seems completely normal to me, maybe the laws of retainment are more strict in NY, but I want to say that 7 years is the minimum that records need to be kept.

Oh it wasn't about the retention time... it was having to recover a file from that long back.. Most cases I see / have done are within the last day/week/month. Not 7 years.

 Audio editing

 @gjacobse said in What Are You Doing Right Now: @eddiejennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now: Audio editing Sound check,…. Less glamorous than it sounds. I'm going through the audio of a video and removing strange speaking and breathing sounds that you never notice in live conversation, but are super noticeable when recorded with a microphone.

 Looking for a new radio, as I managed to sell my main one yesterday. ... which was a bit of a surprise. Not sure I want to deal with an external tuner on the next one,.. but just means more up front... It's between these: 
 FT-991A ALL-BAND, MULTIMODE PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER
  or FT-891 HF+50Mhz ALL MODE MOBILE TRANSCEIVER 
  I would need a tuner to go with the FT-891, whereas the FT-991A has it internal. It's been a long time (cir 2000) since I bought a new primary radio,... it's over due...
