    Disk and folder size trend logging ps script

    Anyone ever setup a power shell script to get disk and folder size and export results to a share for trend analysis over time? I'm looking to set up trending for specific folders growth, once a month for several machines. I am trying the get-foldersize script, not much luck getting the...

    NVIDIA RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti Unclothed @ [H]

    So no one really knows how it's going to really perform but everyone has already declared it's too expensive. WTH has [H] the old tecchies 'I got to have the baddest shit out no matter the cost' persona gone? Sounds like everyone is now in the 'give me cheap shit or I'm going to trash you'...

    Backpage Founders Indicted on 93-Counts

    No, when parents find their children for sale on your website, that parent should be able to go kill you. Jail not involved.

    Atomotage Working to Replace Polygons With Voxels

    Why do people keep using comparison talking points between Euclideon and Voxels? It is clear that Comanche is not what Euclideon does...they do pixels, not voxels, and 3d scanned items, not hand made polygon art.

    MacBook Pro 13 Issue

    I decided to make a partition from the command line, so allowing for 128Mib free space following the partition, I calculated the end sector to be: 236568503 - 262144 = 236306359 Then I unmounted disk0 with: diskutil unmountDisk disk0 Then I tried gpt to create the HFS+ partition: gpt add -b 40...

    Feds Unlock iPhone 5C Used By San Bernardino Terrorist

    As far as I can tell, there was no expansion of powers in this case. Just in case you had any gross misconceptions about it: The FBI used a fully ratified process that came from our constitution. No expansion was necessary.

    Google, Amazon Lead Tech Lower In Customer Satisfaction Index

    I can't believe they used the chicken and egg argument. Hint: No chicken has ever existed that was not hatched from an Egg. Beyond that, I could care less about where the egg came from, could have been a mutant dino for all I care (and it probably was that as well).

    The Internet Has Made Libraries Obsolete

    In 1,000 years, if we still exist, our languages will have long since been replaced with more efficient modern languages. In 10,000 years, almost nothing of current society will exist. In 100,000 years, the intelligent life on the planet will not even know of our society and will have invented...

    Did The FBI Just Unleash A Hacker Army On Apple?

    Why do you think that? I can understand not wanting to lose your privacy, but if there is a court order, your ass is already on the line. In this case, Apple would have been up shit creek if the feds hadn't found a way to unlock the phone. I am sure Apple is still going to lose their asses on...

    Feds Unlock iPhone 5C Used By San Bernardino Terrorist

    All you guys crying about government infringing on your rights...it's in the constitution. Besides that, the government owns the phone, don't even need a court order to hack it. Finally: There is no device that is totally private, or it would be unusable by even the owner.

    Game Dev Explains Why He Doesn't Like "Let's Play" Videos

    I thought that game was more about memorializing the child who died from cancer and less about making money to start with. I feel bad that the kid died and I feel bad for the friends and family, but to complain that the game didn't sale is kind of tripping...I'll just let them be.

    Apple Wants To Know How The FBI Will Hack Its Phone

    Ummm...You falling for the argument here? Let me share this with you: Exceptions do exist in the rule, like the specific court order that exists. Apple vagrantly violated that court order. Believe it or not, I don't care, but the court actually already has the constitutional right to take away...

    The Natural Outcome Of The Encryption Wars In The U.S.

    In the related case, I noticed J. Mcafee claims he will decipher that iPhone for free if Apple keeps refusing. My take: If that can be pulled off, it's probably already been done for all Apple devices, and the only reason the FBI took it to court is because they can't use the data they have...
