Hi, At home, I've got an AMD with 16GB memory that acts as my file server and hosts some VMs. It runs Windows 11. Then, I use my laptop to connect to it via remote desktop connection when I want to use the VMs. The files are accessed via networked drives. I also use ZeroTier. When I access...

How are raw values being reported? As HEX? Yeah, I think the drive reached its life span. Gone now

I've replaced the drive now. Macrium rocks ;) Thanks for the replies.

Good idea but I couldn't find anything in their website. I also run wmic diskdrive get status and is says: Pred Fail I think my SSD is dying....:(

Hi, Thanks for the answers. Yes, I have three backups already. I am not worried about this. This is what I see in Crystal.

Hi, I've got an SSD drive in my laptop which is the windows drive as well. When I run CrystalDiskInfo, it shows that the drive's health is Bad (0%) and flags up "critical warning". HWiNFO64 also reports "drive failure". However, disk management shows the drive and the partitions as healthy...

ZeroTier seems to work fine. What I do not like is that it needs installation as an admin. I wanted to install it on my work laptop but I understand. There is something that confuses me. After reading the documentation, I understand that zerotier creates a virtual encrypted VPN. That's the...

Yes, you are right. pinging no-ip returns the IP of protonvpn which is correct. Following socK 's comment, I removed the port forwarding rule from the router. I will give ZeroTier a go. Thanks

*** UPDATE **** Oh, I forgot to mention that the PC that acts as a server in my setup runs ProtonVPN I think this is an important detail but as said it worked a couple of times.

Yes, I've read a lot about attached on the default RDP port. But, as explained, 3389 is not open at all. Do you think this is still a problem? I tried setting up a VPN but I found it really cumbersome. I tried OpenVPN. I will check Zero-Tier, as grim4593 suggests although I do not know what it...

If I ping no-ip name or check the IP, it returns no-ip's ip address not my router's.

Hi there, I have a PC that works as a server (Win 11) and another one (Win 10) I use to connect to the first one via RDC. What I want to do is use RDC when I am away from home. I have installed no-ip and got a custom domain. I have also configured the router to forward port 50000 to 3389 on...

Hi there, I am looking for a wireless or bluetooth webcamera; ideally white :) It seems impossible to find any. When I go to amazon and select the right filters, it still shows USB cameras. Does anyone know any models? Thanks

27" Curved Monitor and a USB Webcam. It was used as a second monitor for a laptop but I didn't use it that much. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295945212445

Hi everyone, I've got a Terramaster D2-310 and an IronWolf Seagate hard drive for sale her: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295945229291

I am the same. I do not feel comfortable handing the passwords of my email accounts over to a 3rd party. I've tried Thunderbird, BetterBird and all the birds around...none sync with Exchange server calendars correctly. Shame cause they are good pieces of software otherwise

I am frustrated with all the email clients I have tried. They seem to be unable to connect to Exchange server and synchronise calendars. Same with hotmail. I have yet to find a decent email client.

Yes, I have already done this. Looks like it is pointless to check what graphic card a laptop has if you do not do any CAD work or play heavy games

What should I disable in the BIOS? The internal graphics card? So, the settings in control panel are pointless.

Hi there, I've got a Dell XPS with NVidia GeForce 1050 and Windows 10. I am not a gamer and for the life of me I am not able to force applications to use nvidia. I have changed the settings in Windows and in GeForce Control Panel but I think the graphics card has not been used at all the last...

Yes, I suspect so. And it is nightmare to devise a locking mechanism. No, I need write access too MS Teams has evolved and it is more than a messaging app. It works as the front end of Sharepoint, Onedrive, etc. I explained what I want to do. Thanks anyway.

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask the people who are more knowledgeable than me the following: 1. I understand that OneDrive is a file sharing service. But, is there a way to run a database server like SQL or store an sqlite file that can be accessed by mutliple people? 2. Is it possible to...

How can I do this? Can you explain please? I have another story to tell here. My department has bought a piece of software for me to do my job. I emailed helpdesk to ask them to install it on my company's PC. They replied that I can visit the IT helpdesk and they will do it for me. So, when I...

Not necessarily. Until recently, OneDrive could sync only specific folders. You couldn't store the cloud data in any folder you wanted. In my case, I pay for the license of what I want to install No, it is not. I am not talking about such trivial examples. They said no. Hmmm...it would be...

True; but who makes the software selection does not negate the point that any selection should help people do their jobs better and more efficiently. I do understand though that some systems ae very complicated. Here I am talking about an email client and a cloud storage with local access...

So, to be clear I completely understand the reasons of this. No need to convince me although I do not agree with the reasoning. For example, the rationale you present is about what is easier for the support teams when it should be about what is best for the employees and users. Shouldn't the...

Whereas OneDrive is not... The thread is not about cloud storage, you know.

Hmmm..it says the password failed to unlock the drive:(

I try: "manage-bde -unlock C: -RecoveryPassord" and it says "parameter recovery password requires an argument". I checks the internet and I need to prive a .bek file?

Hey hi. I've go the numeric password ID. Not sure what to do with it now. When I try to unlock bitlocker from command line, it says that the password is not correct

I see. Well, I shouldn't complain though. That's what an encryption scheme should do o_O Yes, they said they do not support them so they do not install them on any machine although I explained that I do not need any support.

Yes, I know and I know. The only thing I want to do is to install a different email client and cloud storage app. I thought of taking an image of the drive using macrium and then restoring it on a VMWare virtual machine. Would that transfer the encryption as well? I woudl have thought so if...

Hi, I used to have a laptop from my company and, as you know, my user profile did not allow me to install apps as I was not the admin. I had managed to many my user an administrator and I was happy with it. Now, my company gave me a new machine (Acer Spin 3) and I want to do the same...

People create OSs in Delphi and FreePascal all the time for professional or amateur reasons. See this: The most popular OS written in Pascal was Classic OS (not macOS) by Apple. If you want to become a developer, learning to code an OS even as an exercise it is invaluable. You will learn so...

I see. I will try this then

I want to downgrade because I do not need Win 10 pro for my home PC as it costs 250EUR. Home version is much cheaper

Hi all, Does anyone know a reliable way to downgrade Win 7 Ultimate to Home? I want to install Win 10 Home but Ultimate upgrades only to Win 10 Pro. I have tried a couple of hacks I found on the web (registry changes and Win10 downgrader) but when I run the setup to fix the installation, it...

There is something wrong with the requirements. My Dell laptop has i7-7700 and does not pass PC health check although I have TPM 2.0 enabled in the BIOS. WhyNotWin11 reports that the problem is the processor. I managed to install the dev ISO in a VMWare virtual machine. the VM reports the same...

Here we go... How to bypass TPM: https://www.windowslatest.com/2021/06/28/youll-be-able-to-bypass-windows-11-tpm-2-0-requirement/

Ok. I suppose the dev ISO can upgrade an existing Win10 installation and doesn't complain about the TPM. If so, then one could go from WIn10 --> Dev ISO --> Full Version to bypass the requirement
