My ex loved technology, but she was so bad with it. I have no idea why. She was very intelligent, PHD student. She just could not get around the simple aspects of it. Took me like 2 weeks to get her comfortable with her Switch

Hey Guys thank you for the input. I found coursera.org, it has the free courses i was looking for. ill take a look at packt in a few weeks. the coursera.org is closest to what I wanted. As for languages, java, python, C++. those are the ones i know/remember. If you have any suggestions on others I should look at, please let me know.

Hello, Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I am looking for some advice on different online courses for Software Engineering and computer science. I am looking to go back to school for my masters and it has been a little while since I have done some program, so I want to refresh and basically do a crash course. I am looking for an online course free or not to expensive, that I can just push through. Mainly something I can relearn the basics and then go through the next steps. I have a few projects I want to work on, to help me refresh some things. My history: BS in computer Engineering. Then I ended up getting a good job at a company, but it was for IT consulting not software dev like I hoped. I allowed my self to get stuck there for a few years and just fell behind.

Hello everyone. i hope you are all doing well. I am trying to repair a family friends Macbook pro, We have all the data off it and restored on my older Mac. So no worries there. His screen broke and I am looking to get a replacement at the most reasonable price. I know ebay exists, but I am looking for other options. I checked https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Apple/MACBOOK~PRO~15~Retina~Model~A1398~(MID~2015)/ But they are out of stock. Kind of a bummer. I am wondering if anyone has any other good ideas or suggestions. Please no "he should go to PC" comments. He is an older gentleman and just knows how to use the mac. Thank you very much for your help. Thomas Specs: Intro. May 19, 2015 Disc.

I tired to run the dd-rescue. It seems the source drive (damaged one) is not seen by the Ubuntu install. is there a better Linux OS for me to use? or am I doing something wrong. I see the Drive when i boot the computer up in the bios and as a selectable drive when I go to select the Ubuntu live disk. I am getting a ata1.00: srst failed (errno=-16) when i start the live disk

No It is a friends dad's business. I just became the "IT guy" after i fixed his computer last week. I just had him buy a serve, firewall, switch and back up device. they arrived yesterday and I just started configuring everything. They know they messed up. Im just trying to see what i can do

Thank you Ill look into this and give it a try

Today the computer stopped booting windows and would come up with a no bootable drive error. Normally this can be caused by a windows update. I put the drive into an external enclosure to try to recover the data off of it. The drive is recognized and I can access the root C:\ of the drive, but when I try to go deeper into User files or any sub folder , File explorer. I am trying to see if there is any way I can get the data off. I know its a long shot, but i figured i would ask. Thank you for any help, Tom

hey guys thank you all for the replies. I went with Veeam, after playing around with the settings and figuring a few things out. It worked really well. Again Thank you. -Tom

Hello everyone, I am kind of new to the LinusTechTips forum. I am currently in a weird situation. I used Crashplan as my backup solution for the past few years with an external raid box. Since it is being discontinued in August I started looking for a different solution. I was exploring the Nas/backup server world and I found most of the pre-built devices to be over priced and not the best hardware. I have a Home Server that I use to run Plex and my home domain. It was a test and learning machine for work. I host files movies and so on. I wanted to build a second machine that I can use as a backup machine encase of critical failure of my main server. For work we use the Datto backup solution and I find it to be a great solution for file recover and hardware failures. I had some left-over parts and was looking at freeNas as it looked like the Datto. I am now kind of stuck on the next step. I am looking for a decent and affordable backup software for my home computers and server. I would like to be able to take full volume backups of the computers, as well as file/folder backups of others. I would like to be able to spin up in a vm, either on the FreeNas machine or my Windows server. I was looking at Acronis true image and Storage craft. I have reached out to our datto rep, but they are understandably not going to give me a copy of their OS. so, to recap: Use the FreeNas device as backup solution or is there a better method What is the recommended Backup software Volume and file backups VM recovery Multi-computer support My home network currently includes: My freeNas machine OS: FreeNAS-11.1-U5 CPU: I5-7500 Ram: 8 gigs: Controller card: LSI SAS9211-8i in IT mode Hard drives: 16 gig m.2 sata for the OS, 4 x 4tb sata drives in zraid2 Case: Xigmatek Nebula Server: Dell power-edge t620 Windows Server 2016 CPU: 2x E5-2620 Ram 44 gigs Raid card: Perc H710 Drives: 3 x 600gig Sas drives in raid 5, 3 x 4 Tb sata drives in raid 5 It is a little Hyper V host machine. I have a VM for my domain controller (DHCP active directory, plex and so on) some other VMS for game server (minecraft and so on)
