OK, Q17 was poorly constructed. Also, the text displayed after answering the question is factually incorrect.

Although true in a handful of states, most states do not have laws against wearing earbuds/headphones while driving. I agree that it is not a good idea to wear them while driving, being able to hear the road and the various noises your car should or should not make is kind of important!

I actually really enjoyed that movie.

We are in a similar boat; currently running on 11.5.2 (also Server 2008) and will be upgrading to 12.2 and adding HA on Server 2016 boxes. Been working on the project since November, we should be able to go live by the end of February. I'll probably try and take the new SCP this spring too.

Is there any way to still take this month's survey? I deliberately skipped questions 11 and 12 due to controversy and vagueries, but was out of the office most of last week, so I missed Wed, Thu, and Fri, including the survey. If I cannot take the survey, then please receive this feedback: the level of difficulty was the…

d09h I would say the answer is correct as asked; note in the infographic that the server is on the Main Office side and all users were reporting slowness, not just branches or a single branch. Although Netpath identified an issue with WAN latency affecting some or all of the branches, such latency would not describe…

We just purchased the NAM license, the goal here is to get HA stood up as soon as possible. We are still running NPM 11.5, so we kind of need to upgrade to 12.2 for all the new wonderful stuff. In the meantime our alerts are pretty well-tuned today, but then the "if it isn't broke, don' fix it" is why we haven't upgraded…

Online learning is the primary method for me these days. I am currently going through Azure Learning material for Azure Administrator Associate, but I am also taking classes on programming on Udemy and Pluralsight, as well as working through Codecademy and FreeCodeCamp. I also try to attend at least one tech related…

Well, that's all well and good. I'm all for learning and I do constantly. I've been looking for 15 minutes and I still don't even understand what I should be looking for, because the resources I've consulted have not been helpful. From the hint link, I went to: SAM 6.8 release notes - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and…

If even all the MVPs are getting it wrong, then the question and hint should be tossed out completely. I understand that it is a free site, but if their learning material isn't helping us learn, then it's useless and should be re-done. And honestly, this is the first question I've seen from them that simply didn't make any…

Would love to attend CiscoLive next year, looking forward to reading your TravelLog during the event!

You are missing the entire point asheppard970​. This month had questions where official (marcoswithanoh​) advice said to look beyond the given material (albeit on a previous question). You are saying "don't look beyond the given material." The point is that there is absolutely no consistency here. The bigger problem is…

I got my points last week.

I used to manage all of the servers for the company I was working a few years ago, including all of the file servers. One day, a receptionist downloaded a cryptolocker that ended up encrypting her entire PC (not a big deal, since no one was allowed to save files locally), but I started to panic when I saw that the virus…

Thanks tallyrich​, I live in Northeast Ohio these days, but I grew up out in Wichita and lived in the KC area for a few years too. I've been seeing Overland Park hit the "best places to live" lists recently which makes me happy, since that was my favorite part of town. Johnson County in general is a very nice area. I sure…

Facebook's IPO was 2012 and Twitter's was 2013, so... what is this question actually asking?

All breaches are incidents, not all incidents are breaches.

Welcome to the show yumdarling​, we are a (mostly) friendly rabble of techies, wordsmiths, and general pedants.

I completely trust my brother because we have been through hell together and made it through to the other side.

To summarize the issue here, Page 3 does not mention Continuous Restore and Page 5 does not mention V2V support. The document needs revised to correct both issues or else there will still be potential for confusion.

Typo on today's question: "insalled."

Thanks @"danielleh" I've been trying to read through all the changes, but that specific point missed my attention. I appreciate the clarification!

This will just give me another reason to ignore my SW rep...

In case the clue only confused more than helped (like it did me), referencing the WPM feature page is a bit more clear: Website Monitoring Software | SolarWinds .

After 6.5 hours, it's still going. Can't wait anymore, gotta end the process.

rschroeder​ text rendering is broken so consistently on this site for me that I don't even bother mentioning it.

I'll echo what others are saying, the hint doesn't directly give you the answer at all. It took me two clicks to find the answer from the hint page; one click to a different page, followed by another click after that to arrive at a third page. However, CTRL-F for APM on the first page will take you a different way to the…

knucklebusted​ Can you explain the difference to me? I have never heard anyone use the word average to mean anything other than the arithmetic mean, so in my personal experience average does in fact equal the mean in typical usage.

Foodies! Yes! I feel much shame and embarrassment for forgetting such an obvious one.

scwatson31​ Please reference the comment(s) where someone was being a baby. Please also reference the comment(s) where anyone wanted an apology for not getting a prize (or "this or that"). And again, please also reference the comment(s) where someone said they only came to Thwack for the "missions and prizes." Over the…
