226 Down
12 Up (!)
Ping 26 ms
In Andover, Minnesota (suburban Twin Cities).
I suspect the disparity in up/down speeds is typical of internet service over a fiber/coax cable TV system.
|
|
|
|
|
168 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up with cable. (Paying for "up to" 100 Mbps.)
|
|
|
|
|
76Mbps down/20Mbps up. This is since fibre became available in our area last December (the best early Christmas present I've had!) - before that, it was 1.5Mbps down/1.5Mbps up...
The only positive of the old speed is that I still marvel at how fast our fibre is...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Attempting to do a "simple" Nuget restore here in Visual Studio 2017.
No.
They've removed the option where you just click at the top of "Manage Nuget Packages..." window.
Why? To make your life more difficult, of course.
Try restoring from Package Manager (PM) Console?
You need help docs. Ok. You install them from the PM Console. Whatevs.
PM>get-help restore
Lists the following:

Enable-ComputerRestore Cmdlet Microsoft.PowerShell.M... Enables the System Restor...

Restore-IscsiVirtualDisk Cmdlet IscsiTarget Restore-IscsiVirtualDisk...
Restore-WebConfiguration Cmdlet WebAdministration Restore-WebConfiguration...
Restore-SqlDatabase Cmdlet SQLPS Restore-SqlDatabase...
Yes, I'm inside VS2017 and I'm supposedly looking at some helpful thing MS added so I can run some nuget commands via powershell so everything is easy. Here it allows me to do a Restore-Computer.
Whatevs!
Try
PM> Install-Package packages.config
Nope.
That doesn't do the restore. Just reports that the items are installed.
Ok. Google.
Find this:
NuGet Package Restore | Microsoft Docs[^]
Page down to the part where it tells you how to do a command-line nuget restore.
Hahaha!! hilarious. It tells you how to do this but not where Nuget.exe is installed.
Fire up a Visual Studio Command prompt (running as admin)?? 
Nope. Nuget isn't available from there.
You can't get there from here. 
EDIT -- SOLVED! But still terrible
Okay, so I was in a solution with two different projects and now amount of cajoling to Visual Studio would show the "Restore Packages" thing.
An CPer made an offhand remark about "multiple projects" and restore so I opened the target project in it's own copy of Visual Studio 2017 and went to "Manage Nuget Packages" and lo and behold!!! The restore option appeared at the top.
Still terrible, Microsoft!!!

Are you looking for this: Untitled.png (11.2 KB)

What kind of magic do you have there?
I do not have that option under my Build...menu on 2013 or 2017.
Is there something I turn on to see that?
EDIT
Oh, yours mentions "bundles" so probably a web project.
Also, I have the setting, "Automatically check for missing packages during build in Visual Studio" but that doesn't work either.
Oh, wait, I'll try deleting all the packages folders....

|

No known magic - only my usual...
I got that on right click on the solution node... it may be hidden to you if there is only one project there... force to show it...

I had to open the project in its own copy of VStudio.
When you mentioned "if there is only one project there..." it made me think of trying that.
(I edited the OP to show the solution).
Thanks,

Hey, that is one of my Gmail accounts. The following is an email I have sent to a mailing list, looking for CPers thoughts.
I finally got around to setting up an eBay account as my son wants to get something. This is up, running and verified in about 2 minutes.
I then go to link my PayPal account as that is what the seller wants to use. I can't do this as my PayPal account is not in good standing.
So I login to the Gmail account I created 4 years ago for PayPal (I hate them like I hate Telstra) to see that they limited my account sometime late last year.
So now I login to PayPal to see what they want, now remember that I have successfully made multiple purchases over the last 4 years with no issues using the CC linked in.
They now want to verify my name, DOB and address. To do this they want a scanned copy of my Passport or Drivers License and of a Utility Bill or Government Identification.
I will suck a dog off before this is sent to anyone. Why do they need any of this? Has anyone else been required to do this.
By the way, my name, DOB and address are all rubbish and PayPal don't need any of it, just to know that they can get money from my CC before paying out to any other individual or business.

Not on PayPal (I never visit them), but had a round with same kind of identification...
They asked for a bill too and I asked myself, how they can identify a document to be a government issued bill, when it is written half Hebrew, half Arabic - by pictures?

Never had an issue with paypal (use or request for ID), and only use it once in a blue moon including ebay.
Methinks they are pandering to the Australia Banking requirements. I vaguely remember the banking authority here wanted to do the same, apparently paypal said no, so authority here said, OK, just put up a warning to new customers that we (banking auth) won't help if there are an problems.
It's just more typical Australian backwardness, the Aussie banking authority sucks as much as your telecoms and taxation authorities - all 50 years plus behind the rest of the world, .... and yet they still wonder why big business doesn't want to head office in Aus - it's not just the tax rate.

That's a bit odd. Oddly enough I went and linked a new card to my PayPal account about a month ago and wasn't required to do any of that. Perhaps it is due to your location?

Hi All,
This year seems to be bad if you are a celebrity, just seen on a news feed Michael Bond creator of Paddington Bear hasd met his end...

I'm going to give death a hard stare!

That is indeed sad news, I remember growing up with Paddington Bear. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
However I somehow read your post and my brain combined Michael Bond and Paddington Bear into "Paddington Bond". Which would be a great children's book if you ask me, now to go get more ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) .

Paddington Bond, under cover Bear... I see how this goes...

All this tells me is there are still employers out there that think computers are stupid-safe.
How long does it take to train people not to open attachments? (Actually best solution would be if everybody ditched Outlook, it's a mail application with it's ie-interface hooks built right into the os-core seemingly purposley designed to enable external attacks.)

In my opinion, it's more secure than gmail, for example. It, by default, has attachments and links disabled and locked down.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
