Microsoft Edge Memory Leak

I had one tab open in Microsoft Edge, and it was using over 5 GB of memory. Memory leak much? Yet Microsoft wanted to close Firefox.

Lockdown Browser 1.0.7.02 LAB SCCM deployment

Image
I needed to update from Respondus LockDown Browser Lab version 1.0.5.14 to version 1.0.7.02. This is how I've done it as an SCCM application. This could probably be modified to be used in some other deployment solution, but I've tested it with SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows 7 clients running 32 and 64 bit versions. After 1.0.7.02 was activated this error shows on 1.0.5.14 Install Shield files and installer folder First, you'll need to create setup.iss files. Instructions can be found here:  http://www.respondus.com/update/2009-11-d.shtml Here's their instructions for convenience: First, be sure that Respondus LockDown Browser isn’t already installed on the computer. If it is, then un-install it before continuing. Download the full installer (LockDownSFX.exe) from the Respondus website.  BE SURE  to obtain the .exe via the admin login for your institution since the installer differs for each institution. Run the installer and select the "Click Here&quo

Delay dropbox startup in Windows

Image
Dropbox was slowing down my startup after logging in, so I wanted to delay startup by a minute or so to allow my computer to be usable earlier. The normal settings only allow it to either start up immediately, or entirely manually. Below are instructions on how I got it to start after 2 minutes. I did this in Windows 7, but it should work similarly in Windows 8, 8.1, and probably Windows 10. This also works with other programs, so you could stagger startup items instead of having them all hammer the system at once. 1. Disable the normal dropbox startup.   a. Click on the dropbox icon, click the gear icon, and click Preferences...   b. Uncheck "Start Dropbox on system startup". Click OK 1. a. Click Preferences... 1. b. Uncheck Start on system startup 2. Open the task scheduler.   a. From the Start menu, click All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and Task Scheduler.   This can also be found in the control panel under System & Security, A

Installing residential network wiring

Image
The goal of this project was to install network wiring throughout a house that only had the cable line in from the ISP. The house is a split level with four levels. The bottom basement is unfinished, but also has the cable line and modem installed on an unfinished wall. The primary need for this project was to wire up the bedroom used as an office, so wireless wouldn’t be the only option. As an initial solution, I bridged an old Linksys router to our main wireless access point. This provided wired connections in the office without having to run wires the entire way. However, the Linksys router was slower than the bandwidth from the ISP, and was likely slowing down the wireless for all other connected devices. The router was also unreliable and required rebooting every few days. This was not the ideal situation to work on computers that might have other networking problems. Also, I felt that if I was not getting the full bandwidth from the ISP, I was cheating myself. One
