  • Which series how long ago?

    I doubt the 3000 series has them because they suck, but all the 5000 series laptops I have used have had a shutter. Granted, I’m only really referring to laptops that released within the last 7 years or so.

    I currently have a latitude 5430 and a brand new precision 3490 and they both have a shutter, but that’s not too surprising considering that they look identical to each other.















  • What teo windows admin do in 30 minutes I do in 30 seconds

    You know that pretty much everything in Windows can be done with powershell, right? Just a few and very specific things need to be done using older command line tools, or extremely rarely using a GUI.

    It’s trivial to write a script that changes the DNS configuration on every server for example. It’s even easy to parallelize it.

    You pretty much only need something like this.

    $Servers = “server01”, “server02”, “server03”

    $Servers | ForEach-Object { Invoke-Command -Computername $_ -Scriptblock { Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex 12 -ServerAddresses (“10.0.0.1”,“10.0.0.2”) }}

    I can’t guarantee that it will run, since I wrote it on my phone (hence formatting), but it wouldn’t be far off. You could also do it without pipes using something like ‘foreach $server in $servers’ but that’s harder to type on a phone and I prefer pipes.
