    • RE: HIPPA

      I believe HIPAA only covers medical information, so it wouldn't cover your name, number, nor your address.

      I suggest using a google voice number to give out to people.

    • RE: File Parsing Magic

      If windows, powershell has split and trim functions.

      $this = $this.ToString().Split("name=",2)[1].Split(";",4)
      $name = $this[0].split("=",2)[1]
      $ip = $this[2].Trim("ip=")

    • RE: Win10 modern apps try to take over for default application launcher

      @Jason said:

      Why are you setting it to no open with? we just leave them at defaults. Users know how to change if they like something else.

      Wish my users could handle that on their own, or anything really. If they can't click it on their desktop, they will never figure it out.

    • RE: Windows 7 HOME Premium ISO needed

      I stumbled across this. Still haven't checked any of them.

      Compare the SHA1 against here. Maybe you'll get lucky.

      Beard length directly correlates to Linux knowledge. Tell them if you shave, you'll know less.

      Possibly not a good idea, if he works with Windows exclusively he may have to take off the first layer of skin.

      Then he has to value what hair he does have. Hair doesn't survive well in Windows environments.

    • RE: What was your favorite Windows 95 game?

      I completely forgot about the cat and mouse game. I did enjoy that one. Minesweeper was probably the one I spent the most time playing. I cheated too much at the pinball game to make it enjoyable for any period of time.

    • RE: Medical Insurance in the US

      One day I'll have coverage, then maybe I can get this bone realigned in my hand, so it doesn't noticeably stick out.

      I don't make enough money to get fined at the end of the year, but I would still prefer to be covered.

      The ACA has done a lot of good. My girlfriend's mother wouldn't be alive right now it it wasn't for the ACA. It removed lifetime limits and the preexisting condition clause. My girlfriend's mother reached her lifetime limit on her insurance plan and was no longer covered. She has multiple sclerosis, and had to go a few years without proper treatments. Unfortunately she became confined to a wheelchair before she was able to get covered again. This whole situation is absurd. The current healthcare system is a failure.

      PFSense is a good free option, but it requires you provide your own PC class hardware, and the power bill will probably be 10X or more than an ERX.

      This right here.

      pfSense is a great solution but requires hardware that will cost you more than an ERX ever will.

      Drop another $80-$90 on an UAP-AC-LITE and you have a rock solid home network running basic enterprise hardware.

      Sophos has the same options. Free, but requires a machine to run on.

    • RE: Is there anyway to clean up the cabling behind the rack?

      I would use Velcro wraps. You can organize them and get them out way, and still replace cables as needed. If I were you, I'd just fake a fire to get everyone out of the building and unplug everything and untangle them.

    • RE: Should I move to Windows 10 now, or wait?

      I find it easier to manage with everyone using the same system. So test it, make sure everything you need will work on it, and document work flow changes. Then roll it out to a few people, 10-20% or so, and handle their complaints/issues, document workflow changes again. Then roll it out for everyone else.

      I went ahead and ordered one this morning. I would like a zero instead, but I can find some use for this until I can get a zero. I have a few projects where a zero's size would be quite useful.

      Welcome to MangoLassi, by the way. I know you've been here for a bit, but this is your first post 🙂

      Thank you, I've been just kind of creeping around since you convinced me to sign up from spiceworks. I'm generally not very active in forums, but I am liking the community here.

      What are you using the zero for?

      I wanted to do the retro pi setup with the pi zero in the controller itself. A pi zero would also work better in my picture frame than my B+. It's my alarm clock right now. Then with their price point, I could try other things on a whim, if they were more available.
