    PowerShell nonsense

    Did anyone notice? Try/Catch is your friend :D. Personally, I'd probably have a dedicated function for looking at the contents of the ACL and cleaning it up/validating it, then another function for taking the verified-as-valid AD objects and building a list of users (e.g. "is this thing I have...

    Mind blown

    At my house, resting my nuts on things is the highest honor a surface can receive.

    Monkeyfest 2024

    We'll be up in central NH (Laconia area) until the end of June. I don't have a bike right now, but we're going to be amusing ourselves by knocking off some of the 4k footers while we're waiting for the Rockies to melt. Always happy to meet up if we can work something out!

    Mind blown

    Each day, we stray further from the light. Except for Westy, who is doing the Lord's work every day.

    Monkeyfest 2024

    Disappear for 2 years, pop up for a minute and post 3 times, disappear for 4 years again. Welcome back for however long you're staying this time! :monkeydance:

    Monkeyfest 2024

    I'd be in for June - I'll actually be in NE for the spring, so if it ends up earlier I'd definitely participate! We'll be up in the Canadian Rockies again in July. Poor me.

    Are we toast?

    It's a media holding group. All of these giant holding empires are essentially useless by definition. They don't build anything. Most of them simply purchase companies, squeeze some profits out, then move on. May as well go to the Bike Mag staff and say, "all you guys talk about is bikes!"

    Mini computer shit

    DisplayPort (the physical interface, not the protocol) and HDMI both have data channels, but I've never personally seen a touchscreen use them for that purpose; USB has a standard interface for it and that's what they use. USB-C is capable of doing both on a single connection, of course.

    Mini computer shit

    The hardware isn't the problem with touchscreens. A touchscreen is two separate components - a display input, and a USB HID (human interface device) output. The question is only whether the right drivers for the HID exist on the machine. Like I said, I'm guessing you can plug one of your old...

    Mini computer shit

    ChromeOS is probably the ticket for a small, reliable mini computer with the least amount of fussing. It's linux under the covers (and is deployed on thousands of touch-capable laptops) so no problems on supporting touchscreens. I switched my mom to ChromeOS over 10 years ago and it's been...

    Ridemonkey Secret Santa for 2023!

    @Nick seems to have had his package in transit forever thanks to the holiday, but it finally got here! Awesome haul with 3 local crowlers of IPA that look amazing. Is noon too early to start drinking on a work day? Would love to hear the story of the (apparently hand-painted) hat, and is the...

    Ridemonkey Secret Santa for 2023!

    Always love seeing the array of local things. I didn't know Rogue made a whiskey. That death star glass is pretty cool looking, and 3 Floyds is usually :drool: The shadow box with the bike parts is super creative, too!

    Ridemonkey Secret Santa for 2023!

    Look, sometimes we have to shop for assholes. It's part of the Secret Santa tradition. I mean, I had to buy something for @Westy one year. Can you imagine?

    Does anybody read [books] anymore?

    Just finished All the Pretty Horses. Starting on The Road. Will probably tackle Blood Meridian after that. I don't mind the punctuation and it adds to the feeling of just letting the words flow. I kinda like it, actually. The only thing that kept throwing me was not knowing who was speaking...

    Does anybody read [books] anymore?

    He sure does love to spend a lot of time building up the story before he absolutely burns it all to the ground, huh? Really loved the narrative style, and the scene building. I expected bleakness but ... Wow. Also noticed a recurring style where you weren't always sure who was speaking (e.g...

    Ridemonkey Secret Santa for 2023!

    Emails should be sent. Let me know if there are issues/questions! Sorry @iRider - if you'd like EURMSS to happen this year, you'll have to just buy yourself something nice.
