  I work at 8 different sites.
  All sites are Windows based domains.
  My laptop, isn't joined to any of the domains.
  I connect to the local network via a WiFi network and get IP details from Windows servers.

  When I connect to the sites WiFi, I've noticed at some sites it can take 20-60 seconds for locally installed apps to launch on my laptop, EG Firefox, Paint, Notepad, nothing special.

  If I disconnect from the WiFi, these apps launch as quickly as you'd expect them to.

  Reconnect and they take 20-60 secs to launch once more.

  As everything relies on DNS in the Windows world, I checked DNS on the network,. and it all looks OK. There are no obvious errors in Event Viewer on my laptop or on any servers.

  I thought maybe it's some type of authentication issue, wondering maybe the request to launch the app goes off to see if I have sufficient permissions to access the app and maybe the delay is caused because I don't have authentication onto/into the Windows domain? So I mapped a drive to a network share using my domain creds. This made no difference.

  It's reproduceable.

  I'm at a loss where to look next.

  Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

  Google's Pixel 6 processor brings AI photo features

  Google has unveiled its latest smartphone, containing the tech giant's first self-designed computer chip.
  The Pixel 6 contains Google's "Tensor" processor, which it says enables new phone features powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. It is also the first phone in the series with a "Pro" model, designed to compete at the high end of the market. "The whole goal when we started was to reach this point," said Rick Osterloh, Google's head of devices. "Really, this is our original vision that we're finally able to get to after building a lot of capabilities both in technology and in product development capabilities," he told the BBC.

  @laksh1999 your best bet would be to print out the Sec+ exam objectives and study each item on it.

  I used that and some practice tests for good measure.

  @jaredbusch said in Indentation Style:

  @pmoncho tab indentation needs to die in nuclear fire.

  Thankfully, modern IDE systems like Visual Studio Code and others all auto swap a tab for 4 spaces by default.

  Personally, I prefer a 2 space indentation, but 4 seems to be the most common.

  I didn't think Tab's were that big of a deal as I never had an issue between Vi, Nano, Notepad or Notepad++. I guess it is mostly a habit from using text editors.

  Hmm... I always hated having press the space bar more than twice (only after "." mostly). Maybe I will try using two spaces in the next script to see how that pans out.

  Loosing good account reps seems to be the norm in the SBM... a sales person often seems to start out on the SMB desk, if they excel, they are promoted to other desks. This has happened to me at least three times across different vendors.

  Alfa Adhesives_1200x628.png

  Alfa Adhesives, Inc., an American chemical and allied products manufacturer, needed to improve its business profitability by building a redundant IT infrastructure with no single point of failure (SPOF). Looking for a corresponding solution to its problems, the company faced a high price of software-defined storage (SDS) and licensing of 3 nodes at least. Using StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), Alfa Adhesives creates a totally redundant 2-node system, eliminating a SPOF issue, increasing IT infrastructure performance, and saving just an unmeasurable number of money.

  Find out how Alfa Adhesives accelerates business profitability by building a resilient hardware infrastructure around StarWind VSAN.

  @Pete-S said in To vSAN or not to vSAN?:

  The problem the way I see it with old stuff like the OP has is while there is nothing wrong with the technology itself, everything is relatively slow with today's standard and much more complex than needed.

  It's very true. And the risk today is that we are so accustomed to that complexity, that we often avoid the simple answers today.

  Awwww.... this was our sale day for tickets for the last MangoCon.

  Fingers crossed we get another soon.

  With dick shirts?

  How did this happen is the real question? 😂😂😂😂

  This had to be intentional?

  It was intentional, I was just sad I missed it.

  Whats the joke? We're dicks? 😂😂😂

  The joke was that the shirt had a questionably shaped object as the main center piece of the shirt. I didn't even feel comfortable wearing it around my kids. :) Right @scottalanmiller @Dominica ?

  @Dashrender said in Lenovo Bypass BIOS Options:

  in the 2010's many laptops came with a boot to BIOS/setup button, a Tiny button typically on side of the laptop meant to help you bypass this rapid boot feature and ensure you get into the BIOS

  Never seen that, ever.

  My old Lenovo had it.

  @JaredBusch Still happy with this?

  I don't use it. Never did beond a 1 year trial.

  Nothing wrong with it for those that want an RMM. Good features decent price. Multiple RMM have the same pricing scheme today.

  @Obsolesce said in YAML terminology and Ansible:

  @Pete-S said in YAML terminology and Ansible:

  Other than that it doesn't matter to me what anyone calls it.

  You are 100% to call it whatever you want. But a key/value pair is commonly referred to as a dictionary... or a hash table which is a dictionary data type. This isn't exclusive to Python in the least.

  "Commonly referred" depends on the programming language in question. For example in many other languages it's commonly called an array or collection and never a dictionary.

  If you look at the part you quoted, YAML calls it mappings.

  The proper computer science terminology would be associative array.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

  The best thing to do is to call it exactly what the language or software you are referring to calls it. If Ansible wants you to create what it has named in their documentation as a dictionary in YAML, that's what you refer to it as. Otherwise, someone who is familiar with Ansible and it's documentation won't know what the hell you are talking about if you call it your own thing.

  I can agree with that point of view - YAML in the context of Ansible.
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/YAMLSyntax.html

  So you'd call it dictionaries then. And lists.
