There aren't exactly a whole lot of innovations in IT, mostly it's just someone rediscovering something that was first invented 2 to 5 decades ago. Just take virtualization, containers, and capabilities - the two first didn't really start being introduced (on x86, at least) until the mid-to-late 90s (VMware and FreeBSD jails, respectively), and the third is still mostly a research thing (CheriBSD) despite dating back to the 60s.

We have bought a handful of fujitsu U937 for our C-types and we are providing a choice of usb lan adapters or docking station as the "origami", as we called that clockwork mess of a lan port, is not going to last in the hands of our average user.

I have the simpler style where the wires are fixed and there's a flap that swings down to catch the clip on the cord on my Asus and it's a pile of poo poo. The spring wore out in a few months and it often doesn't grip cables tightly. I wish these vendors would just stop. Either give me a proper ethernet port or just put a Thunderbolt port there so I can have a dongle that doesn't suck. Inevitably the lovely port is backed up by some Realtek nonsense, or even worse "Killer" gamer trash.

I don't really feel that a laptop that was the thickness of an ethernet jack would be too thick either.

Our fujitsu superthin laptops throttle the gently caress out of everything that is not word so maybe i would have preferred a bit more thickness if that meant more copper to handle the heat. On the other hand as usb 3.1 has nowadays more bandwidth than gigabit ethernet i'd prefer more usb-c ports than this otherworldy contraptions.

wolrah posted:That too, I truly don't understand the quest for thinness. If a laptop is too thin for a normal ethernet jack (or if a phone is too thin for a headphone jack) that means it could use more battery. All that CEOs remember about laptops and phones are these two pictures:   And these things then trigger them in some funny way and they swear to never let it happen again. How do you fix the problem of mobile devices being too bulky? By making them too thin and fragile and useless.

I lug a T430 around with me everywhere, soon it will be my E4400 or whatever it is (also big), also a book or two, notebook and misc poo poo, get a decent backpack and it won't bother you provided you mess with straps etc so it's not hanging too low/up to high.

so i'm pretty sure that if a computer has lost its trust relationship with the dc and the local admin account is disabled, i'm just entirely hosed, right? It's a surface book so I can't even rip the drive

Pull it off the network and log in with a cached domain account. Then you can repair the trust relationship. Assuming the cached account has admin privileges.

What I don't like are phones that are longer than a checkbook and start poking out of my pocket when so much as jostled. The crazy thing is that you'd only need to make the phone 4mm thicker and you'd double the battery life. I could live with the extra thickness.

If you get the ultimate boot cd, boot to it you should be able to activate the built in admin account and set a password. You'll have to launch Parted then reset windows password in the GUI. This will start the chntpw app. You should be able to activate from there. I've never tried it with Win 10, but works fine with Win 7.

Assuming the cached account has admin privileges. this might be the first time in my career so far I've seen an entirely legitimate reason why you'd need a user's domain password all this time i've been telling folks "hey we'll never ask for your password, if we need access for reasons we can always reset poo poo, never tell anyone your password" in the vain hope of stopping people from loudly volunteering their system password for all to hear.

Turns out it has bitlocker (good), but it also turns out the recovery key wasn't saved like it should have been so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll try the cached domain account first, but thank you for all those wonderfully fun ideas! This is much more exciting now.
