The Orville was excellent. Great fx and mildly amusing without being ridiculous. I'll watch the new Star Trek but losing interest - too many versions and changes.

I'm mildly concerned that the obvious abbreviation for the show title is STD.
On the other hand, Yeoh as a captain is kind of awesome.

The Orville's not bad- at least they've generated some stories to hang the jokes from, and there was often humor in the ST series. I'll definitely keep watching.
They did have an unnecessary plot hole in the first ep. They were called in to take away this big macguffin, which needs to happen ASAP. But... let's stop to snack on a super-seed first?
It would have worked better to have a station underling taking them to meet the director, who had no idea of the emergency.
Mirror universe, maybe all the characters still have goatees, but they're actually nice?

Oh great - now I've got to avoid The Lounge for at least a week to avoid spoilers! 
STD (titter ye not!) isn't showing in the UK until 25th September. And although Fox UK have announced they'll be showing The Orville, they still haven't told us when.

Well, episode 3 has just shown here and the big twist at the end is ^%^$%^##*((%()*&^ with a pineapple! 
Note: I might have made up the pineapple bit.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Once again, but on a different system, I find my desktop icons all alphanumerically rearranged for me after exiting hyper-v. I should just learn to live with it, instead of expecting things to stay where I put them...a lot less stressful. 
On another note, this is the first time I've used hyper-v on this laptop and everything's working fine except for networking. (through wifi adapter) I can get it to work on the guest and the host, just not at the same time! Eventually, the vm will get migrated to a new server I'm putting together and this won't be an issue. I'm done with it for now anyway...and done for the weekend!

You're running hyper-v on a Mac?
|

The VM will be sharing the host's MAC address, look for an option called spoofing.

How does one "exit" Hyper-V? It's a component of Windows that's either installed and running all the time, or it's not installed at all. Or did you mean your icons get rearranged when you close the last running VM?
That said, I've seen Windows rearrange icons on my desktop with all versions of Windows since 95, and I've run VMs on a number of different systems since Hyper-V was introduced (and its predecessors Virtual PC/Virtual Server before that), but I've never seen anything that would lead me to believe one is related to the other.

Yes, that's what I meant.

I'm scratching my head over this one. What do you use to log into your VMs--the Hyper-V connector, or treat the VMs as regular machines and RDP into them? Or a third party such as mRemoteNG (which I've recently discovered)?
Obviously logging into a machine at different resolutions might cause desktop icons on the VM to get rearranged if the screen is suddenly too small (or larger than it was before), but you're talking about the host. I have an LG TV that I use as a secondary monitor, and powering it on/off, unlike a regular monitor, makes Windows think a display device got removed, so it might rearrange icons under those circumstances, but you're not messing with the power for a display device either.
I'm grasping at straws...but maybe the RDP (Hyper-V?) video code sends some sort of disconnect/reset event, and your "native" video driver (AMD/Nvidia/Intel?) thinks a device got disconnected in the same way my TV does, and causes the entire desktop to get rearranged. Maybe if that's the case I'd look for a newer version of the video driver, if it's really old.
I'm afraid I don't have much else to offer at this point.

I use Microsoft's OneDrive. Works very well for me.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
|
|
|
|

Yes, OneDrive is okay too.
Of course it used to be called Microsoft LiveDrive. 
They renamed it too.
Also, at one point I had both onedrive and google drive and they were clashing with each other.
|
|
|
|
|
Even though at one point MS was heavy into naming everything "Live[Something]", I don't remember them ever having something called "Live Drive", and googling around currently shows a UK company using that name and owning the trademark.
Surely you're thinking of SkyDrive? (which MS renamed to OneDrive because of Sky TV, incidentally also from the UK)...

Oh, probably just bad branding on Microsoft's part again.
If the user can't remember the name of it -- because you change it every 32 seconds -- it's bad branding.

dunno, I prefer descriptive names - less confusion for people trailing the bleeding edge.
grumpy old man rant of the weekend:
used to have "sourceforge" (more descriptive), now it's "git" which in many countries mean "stupid person"
azure sounds like a jewellery item, says nothing about what it does; amazon cloud - ahh, sensible
wtf is silverlight, it's neither solver nor light (and still not 100% sure what it was)
surface is something you put your coffee cup on
playstore - stupid name, sounds like it's only for kids or/and music
siri is an exotic girl's name, cortana a misspelled car name
...
so much new sh*t coming out these days, can we go back to calling them spades?
also wondering if they wanted to avoid confusion with their driverless cars?
... give something a stupid name and it'll only bite you in the ass when you make other stupid things
Stupid kids! Broke my signature they did.

This probably is the answer.

I use a nas in my house. And a server at work.
I'm not givin a nibble to anyone where I can't touch the box physically.
I come from the past. In the past, the mere thought of giving out your data to an outside vendor was ludicrous unless under the strictest guidelines and bonded courier.
