Here are some tools i use on a day to day basis for my tech work.
Virgin Media Download Time Calculator:
A Simple download time calculator, All the stuff you would expect from a Download Time Calculator, but in a slightly fresher skin than most of them.
With some End User Friendly explanations
Note: I Was cold approached this by VM to consider adding this to my site/s, However I did Like it so I agreed.
I Also Use VM For my home broadband
Visual Studio Code & Visual Studio
VS Code is something i use on an almost daily basis, i use it as an IDE For Powershell and Batch Scripts as well as occasionally a text editor.
It has a beautiful UI And is easy to use
VS Is something i use regularly when i need to do more heavy hitting programming such as VB
Github & GitKracken
I use Github as the server side for version controlling and backing up my scripts.
Its cheap and very easy to use
With this i use Gitkraken as another beautiful UI for the computer end of github
RSAT / MSTSC / Hyper-V
A Collection of tools that may already be installed on your admin machine, if not they should be.
They allow remotely connecting to servers to allow easier management.
Hyper-V is also an excellent Hyper-visor for virtual machines.
Speccy
This is a very simple tool that allows you to easily get the temperatures of various components of the computer.
Many computers may have a utility built in for this, thus this would be redundant.
However Speccy will work on many computers and can easily be installed and uninstalled. With the bonus of not having to install crapware.
BUT i have noticed in some multicore cpu / gpu temps are the combined temps of all the cores rather than the actual die temp
Edge
“Edge? BURN HIM” I hear you shout at your screens.
But hear me out!
Edge is an excellent PDF Reader and allows form filling too.
Built into every Win-10 Machine and ‘free’.
Its also good for the odd test on another browser
WinDirStat
Another simple tool.
This one allows you to scan drives / folders to find out who & what is filling them up.
I Regularly use this to find out what i can clean up both at work and home.
Space Sniffer does the same thing
That is all for now, i am sure i will add more to this list as i remember what i use.
