Edges Of The Desktop Are Cut Off On Display Fix ~~~ windows 11 Dell laptop ~~~ well it got something to do with the bizarre HDMI scaling

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8JOg_9YcSI&t=198s

an excellent You tube fix for my second monitor display size cut off problem

it is called HDMI scaling

I disconnect my Dell midday

then reconnected in the afternoon

ah .. shit...

the taskbar got cut off at the bottom on the second screen (an old Samsung syncmaster)

so annoying

its something called custom scaling ~~ HDMI

my dell happen to have the Intel Xe graphics command center installed

start the app and do the custom scaling, well things got back to where it was

 update: early in the morning when I start the laptop again, the external monitor appear shrank, so I started Intel graphics command center again, choose the external monitor, then the screen stretched out again, then I had to adjust the scaling again, what a start for the day

 update: I have to keep the Intel graphics command center up and running, so my 2nd screen will not swell and shrink between hibernations / sleeps

why my dell laptop feels warm in the morning after sleep mode ?

 bit disappointing

some settings not in the modern win 11 settings

some power options are still in traditional power options

run --- control

 where the device goes to Hibernate or Shutdown when lid is closed, follow these steps:

1. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
2. Select "Choose what closing the lid does" on the left panel.
3. Set the "When I close the lid" option to Sleep for both On battery and Plugged in.

on my laptop, I clicked enable hibernate appear on start menu

What is update domain in availability set?

 An update domain is a group of resources that can be updated and rebooted if required at the same time. From time to time, patches and software updates need to be applied. Some updates require servers to be rebooted.

In an availability set , the VMs are distributed evenly across these domains. 

During a planned update, only one update domain is updated at a time, meaning the VMs in that domain will be temporarily unavailable. Therefore, the minimum number of VMs that remain available during the update is the total number of VMs minus the VMs in one update domain.

Virtual network peering and Azure Bastion

 Azure Bastion and Virtual Network peering can be used together. When Virtual Network peering is configured, you don't have to deploy Azure Bastion in each peered VNet. This means if you have an Azure Bastion host configured in one virtual network (VNet), it can be used to connect to VMs deployed in a peered VNet without deploying an additional bastion host. For more information about VNet peering, see About virtual network peering.

Azure Bastion works with the following types of peering:

Virtual network peering: Connect virtual networks within the same Azure region.

Global virtual network peering: Connecting virtual networks across Azure regions.

Which three resources can you assign a phone number in Teams?

 Which three resources can you assign a phone number in Teams?

There are three types of usages: User number assigned directly to a user. Service number assigned to an Auto attendant or Call queue. Service number assigned to an Audio conferencing bridge.

-src MS learn

To whom you can assign Teams subscriber and service phone numbers ?

 Copilot

In Microsoft Teams, phone numbers can be assigned to different entities based on their type:

Subscriber (User) Phone Numbers:

These are assigned to individual users in your organization. Each user can have a unique phone number for making and receiving calls1.

Service Phone Numbers:

These are assigned to services such as Audio Conferencing, Auto Attendants, or Call Queues. Service numbers have a higher concurrent call capacity compared to user numbers

Audio Conferencing bridges

When you set up Audio Conferencing for Teams meetings, you get an Audio Conferencing bridge. The bridge answers the call for users who are dialing in to the meeting using a phone. The bridge answers the caller with voice prompts from an Auto attendant, and then, depending on your settings, can play notifications, ask callers to record their name, and so on.

A conferencing bridge can contain one or more service phone numbers. A service phone number is a number assigned to a service, such as Audio Conferencing, rather than to an individual user. The phone number you set is included on the meeting invites for Teams.

The Xiaomi 12 doesn't connect to the PC by using a USB cable ~~~ here is my drama ~~~ after dropping the phone with a USB C cable connected

I dropped my Mi 12 phone with a short USB C cable connected

USB C connector got bit deformed ( it is for a philips power bank, labelled power only , I used for charging, but the phone previously asked me data mode / usb charging mode; but it stopped asking)

so I need test the Mi 12 USB C port working or not; I connected the original Mi cable, only charging, swipe down as outlined on the net, to select charging / data ; its not there

what a pain

so I tapped somewhere many times to enable developer mode , manually selected data from no data

the phone appeared on my computer screen

so I guess everything is ok, apart from the deformation on the USB C connector

-------------------------------- 

here is Mi article copy / paste here

If you're having trouble transferring data from your Xiaomi 12 Pro to your PC using a USB cable, please refer to the following methods: 
1. After connecting a smartphone to a PC, the smartphone prompts options for [No data transfer], [File transfer/Android Auto] and [Transfer photos]. Then tap on [File transfer/Android Auto];
2. Check if you are using the original USB cable since some USB cables are not capable of data transfer;
3. If you are using an unoriginal USB cable, ensure that the USB cable is in good condition and capable of data transfer;
4. If possible, check if another phone can transfer data with the same USB cable;  
5. Use a different USB port on your computer. Sometimes, the USB port may not be in good condition;
6. Temporarily disable antivirus or firewall software on your PC and try again;
7. Restart both your PC and smartphone;
8. Try connecting your smartphone to a different computer to see if the issue originated from your PC;
9. Check whether the charging port on the smartphone is clean or in good condition;
10. Turn on Developer mode at first by navigating to [Settings] >> [About phone] >> tap on [MIUI version] multiple times (usually seven times) in quick succession. Then navigate to [Settings] >> [Additional settings] >> [Developer options]. Look for the [Default USB configuration] option and change it to [File transfer].

We are aware of an issue that started on 19 July 2024 at 04:09UTC, which resulted in customers experiencing unresponsiveness and startup failures on Windows machines using the CrowdStrike Falcon agent, affecting both on-premises and various cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud).It’s important to clarify that this incident is separate from the resolved Central US Azure outage (Tracking Id: 1K80-N_8). Microsoft is actively providing support to assist customers in their recovery on our platforms, offering additional guidance and technical assistance.CrowdStrike has released a public statement on Windows Sensor Update - crowdstrike.com addressing the matter, and it includes recommended steps for a workaround. For environments specific to Azure, further instructions are provided below:Updated: We approximate impact started as early as 19 July 2024 at 04:09UTC, when this update started rolling out.Update as of 10:30 UTC on 19 July 2024:We have received reports of successful recovery from some customers attempting multiple Virtual Machine restart operations on affected Virtual Machines. Customers can attempt to do so as follows:

Customers leveraging Azure Backup can follow the following instructions:

3.Final step is to run:// Removes the Fixed OS-Disk Copy from the rescue VM// Stops the problem VM but it is not deallocated// Attaches the fixed OS-Disk to the original VM// Starts the original VM// Gives prompts to delete the repair vm//az vm repair restore -g {your-resource-group} -n {vmname} --verbose"az vm repair restore -g RGNAME -n BROKENVMNAME" --verboseNote: These steps would work for both managed and unmanaged disks. In case, if you run into capacity issues, please retry after some time.Option 3Customers can attempt repairs on the OS disk by following these instructions:Troubleshoot a Windows VM by attaching the OS disk to a repair VM through the Azure portalOnce the disk is attached, customers can attempt to delete the following file:Windows/System32/Drivers/CrowdStrike/C-00000291*.sysThe disk can then be attached and re-attached to the original VM.We can confirm the affected update has been pulled by CrowdStrike. Customers that are continuing to experience issues should reach out to CrowdStrike for additional assistance.Additionally, we're continuing to investigate additional mitigation options for customers and will share more information as it becomes known.

my first blog after my purchase of the new Dell Latitude 5330 yesterday, opening the box experience , fake DOA

 its was on special at the local electronics store

anyway, I spent money , bought it as I planned to travel around

its w11 pro, 16gb ram, 512 ssd

13"3 inch ( well I like 14 ", but they only give me 3 dollar discount on that one)

there is no traditional NIC, only wifi6. 

I guess I will get a usb-2-nic adapter at some stage

the power pack interface is USB-C

I had a shock that the notebook power led at front was not on after initial plugging in

read the f***k*** manual, looks like the side marked with Y, need be facing upwards

and I need plug all the way IN

then the power LED is up.

oh my gosh, I just avoid a DOA, blush , blush

btw, this notebook screen is touch-enabled. I do not fancy that, it may consume more power I suppose

I planned to image over my current w10 enterprise, then keep updating, but I dropped that idea as my old w10 is legacy boot, there could be lots of hassle to fix, I do not want to do that now

that also means I need retrieve my various passwords manually

I joined the w10 pro OEM to my (developer )Azure  

at the very start, I was offered personal join like a Microsoft hotmail account, can also do traditional domain join

I feel like it is using MS own pdf viewer in the new outlook mode

not sure yet as to why adobe pdf previewer not working in outlook traditional mode

1.5V battery minimum working voltage : battery revisited

 src - internet

around 1.0 to 1.2 volts

A 1.5V battery is typically considered "dead" or depleted when its voltage drops below a certain threshold. For most non-rechargeable 1.5V batteries, a voltage of around 1.0 to 1.2 volts is often considered the cutoff point for practical purposes

Different devices tolerate lower minimum voltages. Some may remain active for as low as 0.9V per battery. As a rule of thumb the battery is useless below 1.2V

anyway, I found it, and cleaned the dirt from the tracks

But those weep holes may not drain water quickly enough in a severe rain storm

difference between cat6 and cat6a

 Cat6A speed is at least 500 MHz. This allows 10 Gbp/s (Gigabits per second) up to 328 feet (100 meters). Cat6 max speed is 250 MHz. Therefore, it only supports 10 Gbp/s to 165 feet (55 meters) under ideal conditions—less in heavy cross talk environments.
