Fuck that power button/volume rocker ribbon cable! Never again! Not even worth it, people bring me that shit and I turn them away. I tried replacing a broken iPod touch screen 3+ years ago, fuckin nightmare. Tore that paper thin ribbon cable, had to replace that, then my dad threw all the screws I had set aside away(I did it at their house), had to find a screw set for an iPod touch. Then get the screen back on, power and volume buttons work, display works but the touch sensor doesn't work. I said fuck that! Sorry, not doing that again. never again.
Those things are made to be put together once but taking them apart is VERY delicate, almost guaranteed you're going to break something. Fuck that shit!
It gets much easier with practice. I can't even say how many screens I've replaced.
Anyway, apparently the 1511 W10 update crashed a good many devices back in December, including a ton of the Intel sticks. Took a month, but was able to find someone with the 8.1 image for my Winbook TW802, and restored it back to that. Disabling the write cache finally allowed me to upgrade to 1511, and it's working well.
It's only when she remotes into a terminal server and only at the end of the day and only her user account. Since we dont have admin rights theres nothing i could do to fix it, doesnt even prompt for elevation. It goes away if she logs out of the server but not if she disconnects.
So in the morning when she logs in theres no problem but towards the end of the day around 4 it starts up. But if she logs off and back on it goes away
The AWS IoT Button is a programmable button based on the Amazon Dash Button hardware. This simple Wi-Fi device is easy to configure and designed for developers to get started with AWS IoT, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon SNS, and many other Amazon Web Services without writing device-specific code.
You can code the button's logic in the cloud to configure button clicks to count or track items, call or alert someone, start or stop something, order services, or even provide feedback. For example, you can click the button to unlock or start a car, open your garage door, call a cab, call your spouse or a customer service representative, track the use of common household chores, medications or products, or remotely control your home appliances.
The button can be used as a remote control for Netflix, a switch for your Philips Hue light bulb, a check-in/check-out device for Airbnb guests, or a way to order your favorite pizza for delivery. You can integrate it with third-party APIs like Twitter, Facebook, Twilio, Slack or even your own company's applications. Connect it to things we haven’t even thought of yet. We can't wait to see what you will build with the AWS IoT Button!
FIL's Toshiba (I fucking hate Toshibas) won't boot. Get it to tell me that I have a 0xc000000e/Boot configuration error.
OK, so I make a bootable USB with Rufus and a Win 10 ISO. Tell it to boot from USB. Immediately gives the same error. Most of the suggestions I found have me repair the MBR/GPT via the Install/repair disc, but as just above, it won't boot to it. I can boot to FreeDOS just fine using the same USB drive, so it's not the drive and it's not the USB booting ability.
I just took the HDD out and am testing it with an alt computer, but I want to spend as little time on this turd as possible.
I have had issues with some machines recognizing bootable ISOs made by particular programs like Rufus, but when I use a different tool to make the same bootable USB, it works fine. No idea why.
Anyway, I'm trying the official media creation tool on the USB now, and also burning an ISO to a DVD. Because taking the HDD out and looking at it with my desktop sure as shit didn't work. Now have a 0xc0000428 winload digital signature error. Fuck me.
Fixed it. DVD ISO worked, got me to the repair screen. Repair did nothing, like usual. Figured out the drive was locked, and after about an hour, figured out how to unlock it with some DOS commands. Did a startup repair and it actually worked.
Horry shit! Our phones lit up all at the same time. My Internet's works but our email is down. Our phones are down. Our remote server and our phones are down. All our branches in Tampa, Lakeland, and Los Angeles can't access our server in Phoenix. People on Brighthouse and FiOS were down. As soon as I learned that I put my legs up on the desk and leaned back, ain't shit I could do.
Yeah I tried that speed test in the middle of it I got 90 down and it froze at the beginning of the upload test. It just said "connecting" but wouldn't even start the upload test. I tried it on other PCs and was getting about 20 up (we pay for 150/150 though we still have a few of 100mbps routers/switches/phones in the way of that). It wasn't a blackout it was more like a brownout. Shit would load but it was slow, slow enough to cause some services like RDP to timeout.
Not sure exactly, it's bundled into our rent. But we do the IT for the owners of the building and their bill is $430 but that includes 150/150, 5 static IPs and 3 copper lines, cable TV and a couple cable boxes.
Frontier (which took over for Verizon in our area) says it's $195
I wonder why fiber is being pushed for residential but not commercial?... It's not even available in my building, but I have it at home.
Maybe your building has an exclusivity agreement with one ISP? I know apartment buildings definitely do that, and I think some business complexes as well.
Why the hell does MS insist on making everything so difficult....
I got an email saying my live.com email (that I really only use for synching ONENOTE) was possibly compromised.
So, I have them send me a PW reset code, which takes way too long to receive since them make you guess the email they are sending it to and don't tell you if you are wrong...
Then, when I try to turn on 2FA, I am told that the ONLY 2FA implementation they have is THEIR specific app... Not a standard SMS, not any of the other authenticator apps I already have, but the MS Authenticator app...
FFS, MS I already reluctantly use your services. Make it any harder and I will totally jump ship.
EDIT: with a little searching, you can force override MS and use the Google Authenticator app...

when I signed up for MS 2FA they told me to download google authenticator. they have a MS authentication app for Windows Phone/Windows but for iOS/Android they want you to use Google's
Well, they CAN, but they have their own now that they are pushing... And they don't come right out and say you can use the google one (which I already have).

This annoys me. The Microsoft Account app is really nice in that it pushes authentication requests to you and you just quickly authorize them. Is there a Windows Phone version? Fuck no. I've been getting so disillusioned with Microsoft's choice to support other platforms to the point that their software quality is sinking on their home turf.
