If you need an app to format a drive and copy some files, maybe you should stick with Windows.

2·15 days agoYep! Four twisted pairs. Each can carry a phone line. Tip and ring!

14·15 days agoI think you meant RJ11. Ethernet uses RJ45.
But that’s just the jack. Either can use CAT5/6/7 cabling and most RJ11 in more recent homes is still CAT5 or better. But that doesn’t mean the builders didn’t staple it to the studs making it worthless for anything more than 10BASE-T (if even that).

12·5 months agoModern start menu search was designed to drive users toward Bing and give MS-favored results to users. It’s hot garbage and has been for a while. So yeah, if you rely on as an IT pro it you probably aren’t very technical.
You can launch any common inbox or Office app and most MMC panels from the Win-R menu. And most of them haven’t changed since Windows 2000 / Office 95. Not being able to adapt and improve upon how you perform your job is sad.

12·5 months agoIt’s been broken and slow as hell since Vista. So yes, when IT “professionals” haven’t figured out other ways to run common programs by now, it hints at how remedial their skills are.
Have you had Culver’s root beer? It’s so good. It might be even better than A&W.

The start menu has sucked for a long time, but you don’t have to use it. I cringe when I see other IT folks using its search feature to launch common apps.
At least they are improving the app list with a nice category view and removing the All Apps button (still in preview). That’ll at least upgrade it from hot garbage to okayish.
I’d tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it.
I’m really loving Octopi. Especially on the Fold since I can have multiple layouts. The stackable widgets are really nice too.

I mean, on a typewriter yeah. But otherwise, no.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Every last one of these questions is terribleEnglish
19·10 months agoIt’s unlikely since it uses the field ID and not the text, so it wouldn’t know which question went with which answer.
It’s so rarely needed to actually use these anyway, that it’s a non-issue IMO. You should never opt to use security questions as they are terrible from a security standpoint. This is just for when they are required by stupid websites.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[Help please] Identify process that is calling a domainEnglish
3·11 months agoMost DNS queries are UDP.
I’d do a modified scream test and change old.domain to something like 1.2.3.4. Then run sudo netstat or ss with -tpn, grepping for 1.2.3.4.
Or something like grep -r old.domain /etc.
While I’m not 100% certain it’s not just confusing perspective, it does appear that the slope rise is shorter than the run, suggesting that this is from the top of the stairs.

Hardee’s curly fries are the best. By extension I guess that means Carl’s Jr. too, but I wouldn’t know.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions?
2·11 months agoYou definitely should still check this, but even with proper indexing settings Windows is still garbage at search and has been since XP.
And this is coming from one of the only people who ever defends MS on Lemmy.
Yep, that would work fine for the first line of defense. Eventually, you can expand it to copy, replicate, or drive swap the onprem backups offsite somewhere (e.g., cloud, office, or family member) if you want to protect your data from site loss (e.g., house fire).

It’s literally drag and drop after initializing MBR, format FAT, set active. Rufus is pointless.
Lemmy is sure showing its usual technical incompetency while pretending they are superior because they can install Linux. In a shitpost thread no less.
