    PCSPECIALIST Containerising Windows

    I'm with Ubuysa - it isn't really clear what you are trying to achieve. You CAN run Docker containers on Windows 10 - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/set-up-environment?tabs=Windows-10-Client though it's not something I've tried to do. You can also...

    PCSPECIALIST Every week my order gets delayed.

    Bit of a daft statement. What you're basically saying is that you expect the global IT supply chain to never recover (by the time you want to upgrade) so therefore won't trust PCS... but by that logic, the problems will remain elsewhere, or be even worse by then!

    PCSPECIALIST Internet security

    If you want a belts and braces approach, download malwarebytes antimalware and once a month or so do a scan. Don't bother with the premium version, you just want an occasional on-demand scan. Otherwise, yeah, stick to defender :)

    PCSPECIALIST Business grade video card?

    Well if you're after a business grade card, then nVidia Quadro are rated as such. Although I don't have the specs of the specific cards, they do do a range of RTX-based Quadro's (but expect to pay!). And they do appear to support most of them with Linux drivers - worth noting that nVidia only...

    PCSPECIALIST Deja Vu - again

    No...I've been watching the news. Awful. :(

    PCSPECIALIST Deja Vu - again

    It's interesting - as a lot of my work has been around server based computing - i.e. Citrix, Remote Desktop Services etc, this has been an ongoing conversation for, like you say @ubuysa, decades now. It's notable that Teams use went from c28 million concurrent users to over 80 million in the...

    PCSPECIALIST Every week my order gets delayed.

    Well said. In one of my earlier replies, I noted that there are genuinely global shortages going on in the whole IT supply chain and of course, you're absolutely correct to point out it's not just in IT. Anyone who is forced to work in these extreme circumstances have my respect and sympathy...

    PCSPECIALIST Every week my order gets delayed.

    I'd picked that up from earlier postings but I am not sure it's that clear to new members who've just ordered their first piece of PCS goodness.

    PCSPECIALIST Every week my order gets delayed.

    Ultimately I think that is what has been the problem - PCS could've done more to communicate and engage their customers here in the forums. It's all well and good to allow volunteers and [volunteer] mods to speak but as Ubuysa rightly says, there are some things that only PCS employees can...

    PCSPECIALIST Every week my order gets delayed.

    Indeed. You aren't just buying a bunch of parts. You're paying for: The expertise that ensure the parts you picked are actually compatible with one another (so the effort that goes into the configurator) The expertise of putting those parts together The warranty - you send your unit back...

    PCSPECIALIST BSD after cloning C Drive

    And with the original ssd back in?

    PCSPECIALIST Every week my order gets delayed.

    15-20 minutes is about 1.5 reboots for an HP server. Seriously I've never known a slower POST process. Especially since they introduced their sea of sensors! I worked for HP a couple of times. Once in 2012 and again in 2015 - guess who was struggling to provide laptops to their own staff both...

    PCSPECIALIST Every week my order gets delayed.

    So I'll admit I didn't read through the whole thread but just an FYI - I work in IT. Have done for longer than I care to admit. There are tremendous supply chain issues globally right now. First you have the impact of Coronovirus. Add to that, most of the factories and fabrication plants churn...

    PCSPECIALIST Ethernet cables

    I'd have said no need to go to the cost of CAT7 but I see the cables on Amazon now aren't that expensive. WAN (Wide Area Network) - you can think of this as everything past your router. Everything in your house that is connected via cables is generally thought to be local and hence on the LAN...

    PCSPECIALIST BSD after cloning C Drive

    If that doesn't work I'd suggest putting the old SSD back in and testing. As it's a direct clone if it didn't happen before but does now, I'd be more inclined to suspect something wrong with either the drive, the cloning job or possibly (but much less likely) the new SSD not being fitted quite...

    Pfft! Windows 2.0 and 3.0 here. NT 3.51, NT 4.0 as well. :-)

    PCSPECIALIST [UPDATED] Get Control & Wolfenstein: Young Blood with select NVIDIA RTX powered PCs & Laptops

    Beat me to it. Generally any game offers are listed in the configurator. Or used to be, at least.
