I recently needed to install Visual Studio 2022 on one my existing machines to debug a new zeroshot model that has a dependency on our Speech SDK. The Speech SDK
is one of our key #AI services in Cognitive Services (as part of #AzureAI). I already had VSCode running, but in this case I need the bigger brother.
After installing Visual Studio, I could not get any nuget packages to install; I could not even fetch anything and didn’t matter what I used - the package manager console in Visual Studio, PowerShell, etc....
My command prompt history is quite long, and a lot over time is not essentially garbage. I was looking at a way to clean it out. Most of the solutions online I found were not correct - I don’t know if things changed over time, but the latest version of Windows I am on (Windows 10 Pro 1803), it did not work.
So, here are two ways that you can do this....
I have been using Mouse without Borders
, a program that allows you to make a virtual KVM between machines for some time at home and it is awesome. You can use one set of keybard and mouse among various (windows) machines including clipboard and copy and paste. If you haven’t tried it, I would highly recommend it.
However lately I could not connect between two machines and kept getting the error: “Only one usage of each socket address”....
If you want to show a simple less than symbol (i.e. <) in Latex, you are in for a surprise as you cannot use that character as is. If you are in math mode and writing this part of a formula then you might be still OK, but if you are in text mode then it is quite difficult.
Surprisingly, searching for this online also did not provide any obvious answers (perhaps I was searching for the wrong thing)....
I needed to copy a bunch of data (Photos and Music) from my primary laptop to both the WHS and MCE and instead of hand crafting a Robocopy script I came across
something called RichCopy (
download from here
) which is a much better version of Robocopy GUI and allows for quite a few advanced features. If you use Robocopy a lot then I would highly recommend using this – you can setup multiple profiles depending on your environment....
If you are having constant issues with a specific hardware, then one of the culprits could be a corrupt device driver for that hardware. In simple terms, a device driver
is nothing but another computer program which allows Windows and other applications to interact with the specific hardware. Since this is very hardware specific, generally one need to install the specific drivers for that device.
Windows has something called “Device Manager” which as the name might suggest is used to manage devices....
Recently the wife installed the latest iOS update for her iPhone 4 (all 600+ MB of it! And people have the misconception that Microsoft software is bloated?). After the update, the Sync on the phone was failing with the following error: “The iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)” as shown in the screenshot below.
She did have the latest version of iTunes – not that made any difference....
If you are ever in a situation where you want to find out if you logged into using cached domain credentials (AD) or authenticated against the domain controller then the easiest way is to open Event Viewer and look for the entry where the source is NETLOGON and Event ID 5719.
The description would be something like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Log Name: System Source: NETLOGON Date: 27/05/2011 08:53:17 Event ID: 5719 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: YOUR-Full-Qualified-Computer-Name Description: This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain YOUR-DOMAIN-NAME due to the following: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request....
