Lots of other interesting stations too.

Found this today.

• A two-month-old laptop with a SanDisk SD8SN8U-256G-1006 SSD for its C: drive, Windows 10.
• Windows had recognized the drive as a standard hard drive, not an SSD, and the laptop had slowed down a lot very recently.
• Installed the SanDisk SSD Dashboard, ran TRIM, and scheduled weekly TRIM operations.
• Laptop much faster.

If the Windows Installer method doesn’t work, ESET has a tool. It does have to be run with the OS in safe mode:

Run it like this, from CMD:

"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass script.ps1

One can save a lot of data confusion and server-side load, by turning off share caching on the server side. This prevent client machines from using Offline Files to drive human beings up the wall! :-)

TOSC.VBS turns off share caching on all of the shares it can, except for dollar shares. It needs to be run as administrator.

If you bicycle much using the most common shifting systems, you’ll need these. Thus far I am finding the instructions on Liv’s Cycling to be best for the rear, and wikihow or madegood.org for the front. The most important thing yet learned: instructions often get the “H” and the “L” limit screws reversed for whichever bicycle you’re on. Got to check it for each derailleur, by seeing the slight movement per half-turn of each screw. General thoughts:

1. Mounting position has to be right. This is not very confusing in the various web resources studied.
2. Each derailleur, front and rear, has an H screw and an L screw. On each, one screw sets the max deflection towards the frame, the other sets the max deflection away from the frame. These are called limit screws.
3. Cable tension can simulate one of the limit screws. Use the tension caps on the gear control, or (when they are there) the caps on the derailleurs themselves, to relieve tension, to verify that you are seeing reality of limit screws, not the simulation of the cable tension :-) Which screw tension simulates, also varies by make and model and type of derailleur.

Here is a utility:

which does an excellent job. It will edit, merge, save copies, et cetera. It works also with later versions of Outlook which use .DAT files instead of .NK2 files.

There is also a Microsoft page, with a utility linked, reported to be excellent:
