  1. I have an MSI GS43VR-6RE. The battery expanded so I bought a replacement. I installed it yesterday and now it's having very strange boot behavior. I charged it for a while before turning it on to make sure the battery was at full capacity. When I turn it on, it POSTs but then turns off as soon as it gets to Windows. The power just cuts out. It boots fine on AC power, and the battery shows 100%. If I unplug it while on and in Windows, it will turn off after about 30 seconds. What's strange to me is it can boot into safe mode with the AC adapter disconnected. I plugged the old battery back in and there's no issue at all. Since I can get into safe mode, something must not playing nice between the new battery and a component of Windows, but I have no idea where to start troubleshooting. Any advice is appreciated!
  2. I had tried the light version, but ran into some other roadblock I don't remember. Maybe I'll give it another try. How much do you know the microSD requirements? Do you think what I have is adequate to run the OS and apps? "64GB SanDisk UltraPlus with U1 speed rating"
  3. I don't remember if I logged out of the desktop environment or not, it was several months ago. I don't think I changed the GPU RAM. If I go with standalone retropie, can I install other apps such as Moonlight? Moonlight was working ok, better than an internet stream. But both my desktop and pi are on wifi which is likely the issue there.
  4. Emulation is not fine though. I installed retropie over rpiOS and tried playing castlevania for the NES and it was like I was playing in slow motion.
  5. Even if it can't handle streaming for whatever reason, it should still be able to run an emulator. Plenty of people do it, I'm trying to figure out why I can't.
  6. Hi Everyone, Looking for help with my pi. It can't play a Youtube video or Twitch stream without buffering. No other apps are running and I've tried it on Chromium and Firefox. My intended use case is for game emulation, and Moonlight to stream my PC to my living room. I'm using an official power adapter. I formatted and installed RaspberryPi OS to my microSD card using the official installer. The microSD card is a 64GB SanDisk UltraPlus with U1 speed rating. This is the only variable I can think of that would be an issue, but through all of my googling it seems that this card should be adequate. Any advice is much appreciated!
  7. Had to renew sToken in MDM. Thought I did so last week, but it didn't save...
  8. Nobody in my company can open Outlook on their iPhones starting today. I noticed there was an update to the app today and am hoping this is the cause. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a known issue?
  9. They could be full, I didn't really dig too deep. We have decided to just create a new domain. I don't know what our IT services company was/ has been doing, but I'll be surprised if they still exist next year. Most machines have local admins so we'll be okay there. I only came here because my boss was panicking and asked me to find information.
  10. First of all, don't make assumptions about my abilities based on a single paragraph, you don't know me or what I know. I came here because I need help, hopefully from people who know more than me. We had an IT company that hosted and managed pretty much our entire network. They were supposed to be the ones who know what "their" (should be they're, friend) doing. They did not have sufficient backups which is why we have been down for so long. They are saying that if we leave the domain down for 30 days all systems will get locked out because they can't connect to a domain controller. We want to know how long it has been since our client systems have connected to a DC, but we do not have access to any DC's to check this. So my question is if this can be done from a client machine instead of a domain server. The only thing I could see in event viewer is the last time it failed to connect on 11/28.
  11. My company was hit with ransomware recently so we do not have any domain controllers. Our hosting service is saying if our clients do not check in with a DC within 30 days, they will get locked out. My boss is saying that if we turn them back on, all users are going to lose passwords and be locked out anyway. First, if somebody could provide so information as to how Active Directory would handle this situation. We have been offline for close to 30 days. My main question is, how do I sit at a client computer and check the last time it connected to a domain controller? We want to use this to tell exactly how much time we have if everyone will get locked out after 30 days. Thanks in advance, I will be monitoring this post closely to provide clarification if needed!
  12. I came up with this same plan last night! I'm also going to make a file server for backup.
  13. This is probably the best route. Though it depends on the application you want to run and how many simultaneous users you need on the system There will only be one user (himself) on the network at any given time. So I may just have the other PCs remote into his current workstation, and then use his server simply as a file server. He is the only user on the network so I don't think I will need active directory. But NFS or some sort of file server may be the way to go. They are only being accessed from within the home so I don't think a vpn will be necessary. Remote Desktop is what I meant by remoting in, I should have been more clear.
  14. I am setting up a server for my boss, and he has some specific needs that I am not sure how to tackle. He has 5 client PCs throughout his home. He wants to be able to sit at any one of these PCs and be able access any and all applications and files that he needs for work. Here are some of my ideas: 1) Some sort of application server. I have never done something like this, and I'm not exactly sure how to even do this. 2) create a system image of his current main workstation and just make every other PC a copy of it. Then consolidate all of files onto a file server. 3) Make the server a normal PC with all the applications and files he needs and then just remote into that PC from the other 5 around his home. I'm a first year I.T. student, so I've never really faced a real-world problem like this. I would really love to know what the best solution for this problem would be. Thanks everyone!
  15. I've been looking into buying my first Arduino board and have found on Amazon that many manufacturers offer the same boards for much less. Are any of these brands worth investing in or are they made from cheap parts? Should I spend the $46 on an authentic Aruduino brand board?
