Sometimes you need to connect to an instance of SQL LocalDB and all you have to go on is the ConnectionString that looks like this:

Server=(localdb)\mssqllocaldb;Database=aspnet5...

Trying to use SQL Server Management Studio to connect to (localdb)\mssqllocaldb would most likely fail. Instead, run the command:

The new Apple TV 4 does not have an optical out any longer, meaning all audio has to pass via the HDMI interface. When I replaced my Apple TV 3 with the new version, I found that my surround sound receiver did not play back any DTS or Dolby Digital soundtracks in any of my encoded movies, or Apple TV rented / purchased movies. My Yamaha amp kept on showing PCM mode (HDMI is connected between Apple TV and receiver, the receiver then passes this on to the monitor as a final output of video only) . For all my encoded movies it was restricted to 2 channel stereo, the Apple TV based movies were 5.1 channel PCM.

The fix was to go to Settings -> Audio Settings -> Surround Sound mode to Dolby Surround. This may or may not work for you depending on a thousand factors.

If you find your Apple Time Machine suddenly stopped following the automatic hourly backup schedule, and only works when initiated manually, check if you have a UPS data cable connected to your Mac. If you do, take it out. It confuses non laptop Macs into thinking it is permanently on battery, thus preventing Time Machine from automatically backing up your data.

The internet is unlike anything we as a species has ever encountered before. It appeared out of the blue, made the world as small as a pack of cards and gave everyone access to all the combined knowledge of humans. Computers in the form we know them today were introduced in the early 80's, and became commonplace in the average home in the 90's. By the mid 90's many home computers became connected to the internet via dial up modems, however this was mostly on demand access. Only 15 years ago did always on broadband connections to the internet become commonplace. I can think of no other system that has appeared only so recently yet influenced our lives so much.

Due to this timeline, we have a population of mostly technologically inexperienced people. That is understandable - most people aged 40 and over would not have grown up with computers, and many between the ages of 30 and 40 may not have had access to computers either. Therefore it would be something they had to learn how to use on their own time - not as part of a school curriculum. This causes a critical concern because whether people like it or not, most of us have access to a computer (be it a PC, Mac, tablet of smartphone) and use it to manage sensitive aspects of their lives, such as banking, business, personal communications etc.

Regardless of age, most people use the internet like we use appliances, or our cars. We use them to provide a service to us, and don't care about its inner workings. Why would you want to understand the Otto cycle in your car? Or how the magnetron works in your microwave oven? Or how the escapement mechanism keeps your mechanical watch ticking? As long as it perform its function, we just don't care. Nor should we. You do not need to understand these things to drive your car or heat a cup of tea. If it breaks, you send it in to be repaired or you replace it. Not understanding the inner workings does not affect us negatively.
