  • Which series how long ago?

    I doubt the 3000 series has them because they suck, but all the 5000 series laptops I have used have had a shutter. Granted, I’m only really referring to laptops that released within the last 7 years or so.

    I currently have a latitude 5430 and a brand new precision 3490 and they both have a shutter, but that’s not too surprising considering that they look identical to each other.






  • What teo windows admin do in 30 minutes I do in 30 seconds

    You know that pretty much everything in Windows can be done with powershell, right? Just a few and very specific things need to be done using older command line tools, or extremely rarely using a GUI.

    It’s trivial to write a script that changes the DNS configuration on every server for example. It’s even easy to parallelize it.

    You pretty much only need something like this.

    $Servers = “server01”, “server02”, “server03”

    $Servers | ForEach-Object { Invoke-Command -Computername $_ -Scriptblock { Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex 12 -ServerAddresses (“10.0.0.1”,“10.0.0.2”) }}

    I can’t guarantee that it will run, since I wrote it on my phone (hence formatting), but it wouldn’t be far off. You could also do it without pipes using something like ‘foreach $server in $servers’ but that’s harder to type on a phone and I prefer pipes.











  • Getting a boner is a very natural thing. It even happens during sleep. It’s not something that’s really controllable. It also doesn’t harm anyone.

    The reason the body reacts the way it does, is just human evolution. We want to exist in peace too, but unfortunately our bodily functions occasionally make that slightly harder and really embarrassing. Just ignore it. There is pretty much nothing we can do.

    And obviously staring is very rude, but that’s a given.

    But yeah the meme is stupid, I give you that.

    You have to pay if you want to stop a year’s commitment early. Iirc you have to pay half of what you promised you would pay them over the year. So if you changed your mind it’s cheaper to cancel than to continue paying for the months you have left.

    If you sign a contract agreeing to their terms (and receive a discount in exchange) you have to follow them. The same goes for any other contract where you have a year’s commitment like for an ISP. It’s all pretty standard.

    Is it annoying? Yeah obviously but they make it pretty damn clear when ordering that it’s a year’s commitment and that you receive a discount. Any reasonable individual should be able to figure out why you get a discount.

    Obviously you have to pay to cancel a year’s commitment.

    They give you a discount for your commitment to pay for a year and they make that pretty clear on their website when ordering. I can post screenshots of that but I really hope that won’t be needed, just check for yourself.

    If you don’t want a year’s commitment you can just pay the higher price for a months commitment.

    Pretty sure you have to pay half of what you promised to pay them had you kept paying for the whole year. I highly doubt that they legally have to even do that. I doubt that an ISP or utility company would let you cancel at all if you had a years commitment.

    P.S it’s ridiculous that I have to say this but yeah I know that Adobe suck. Fuck em and all that. I’m just saying that this particular thing isn’t unusual or should be in any way unexpected when you sign up for a year’s commitment.
