Wondering why the heck anyone would sell a microserver, and then to make it worse it has no server functionality at all.
No out of band management, no capacity for raid (besides Windows) or Linux MD (which I can't use Linux) oh and then a Windows 10 Pro license with it as well...
and what makes it a "server"?
My guess is the label, marketing or lead salesman.
Yeah the name on the front of the box. It's a "MicroServer Gen10"

@wrcombs just to add to the confusion … there are hybrid SSD HDD made be Seagate.
IIRC the controller puts frequently accessed stuff on the SSD and moves less accessed items to the HDD.
I may be over simplifying it.
Seagate didn’t jump on the all flash bandwagon at the start as they believed that hybrid devices were the future

That's interesting , I didn't even know that was a thing and we've used Seagate for a lot of our Drives for our PC's.

Ha! I've seen worse scripts than this; however, all of its boolean tests are
($anActualBooleanValue -eq "True"), which apparently does work, but I wouldn't trust it. -
@eddiejennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
($anActualBooleanValue -eq "True")
"True" is a string.
A boolean value would be $True or $False.
$anActualBooleanValue -eq $TrueTechnically, you can do
if ($anActualBooleanValue) {} -

This seems completely normal to me, maybe the laws of retainment are more strict in NY, but I want to say that 7 years is the minimum that records need to be kept.

Oh it wasn't about the retention time... it was having to recover a file from that long back.. Most cases I see / have done are within the last day/week/month. Not 7 years.

Sound check,….
Less glamorous than it sounds. I'm going through the audio of a video and removing strange speaking and breathing sounds that you never notice in live conversation, but are super noticeable when recorded with a microphone.

Looking for a new radio, as I managed to sell my main one yesterday. ... which was a bit of a surprise. Not sure I want to deal with an external tuner on the next one,.. but just means more up front...
It's between these:
FT-991A ALL-BAND, MULTIMODE PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER
or
FT-891 HF+50Mhz ALL MODE MOBILE TRANSCEIVER
I would need a tuner to go with the FT-891, whereas the FT-991A has it internal. It's been a long time (cir 2000) since I bought a new primary radio,... it's over due...

What kind of radios are those? CB?
I'd definitely go with the 991A if it's got the tuner built in.

@gjacobse 991A for me but then again I do weak signal VHF work. I'm saving up for an Icom 705 to be my next primary rig. Also check out the Icom 7300's many of our club members have them and absolutely love them even the non Icom gang.
