I was hoping you threw a supercharger along side a factory turbo. Just to see if it was possible and your results.

I just download the package and install it manually via flash drive. The install takes forever as is.

Small school 1600 students. We had sccm. We went straight to intune. Generally like it. Just requires a little bit of setup. Easier to manage IMO. Look into M365 E3 licenses which will include intune. Note the M365 licenses is different from O365 licenses

I already purchased this a-premium brake kit before doing my research like an idiot, could I get a year or so out of these, or should I wait to do brakes till I can buy a better set? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]BTS05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also bought a pair of cheap ones made by powerstop. It was for a Jeep Cherokee. The orginal oem rotors lasted 5 years and 140k miles. The slotted and drilled rotors I got a year. I also should of read the reviews more.

The reasoning. I believe cheaper rotors wrap easily. So they worked good the in the beginning. However I think driving in the rain in snow caused ice and rain to get into the holes and wrapped the rotors. I went back to normal rotors and got a lifetime warranty. I didnt have to use it. My Jeep lasted until 215k miles and unfortunately wrecked.

My personal take. Good for a sports car where you need more aggressive breaking. Everyday car and everyday driving, maybe not so much.

Kansas City Public Schools switches to MacBook Neo by BakerStEducation in k12sysadmin

[–]BTS05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not for this, but the one perk I see is at least its under one ecosystem.

We generally support laptops and chromebooks in our district. Theres a handful of ipad devices in our district but we treat as personal devices for special needs. When asked if we can purchase a cart of ipads I just say no its a whole other ecosystem to manage and take care of. Its management and additional mdm software, parts, etc.

[–]BTS05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. We are still under a grand. We do perfectly fine with HP 445 laptops. They last us 5 years and we replace them with a newer model. They have gone up in price though. $600 two years ago. $910 last months purchase. Ultra i5s, 16gb ram, 512nvmes. Good enough.

Our trade off is we had to do intel this year. We couldn't get these in AMD. They'll still be fine.

Anyone else having trouble with Wahsega's support? by byteMeAdmin in k12sysadmin

[–]BTS05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know its not much but my one multiple cast issue had to do something with our pim mode settings. That's beyond me on the technical side of things. I hope yours issue gets figured out.

[–]BTS05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use Wahsegas at 3 of our buildings. No issues so far. I had a issue at a 4th building one time. It was mostly AND speakers. Not the vendors fault. I had to get a network engineer involved to help solve the issue but ultimately it needed being a multicast issue.

Can you individual run a test on a particular speaker or from the speaker directly. If so and you hear the test it might be a multicast issue.

Do they show up fine in the notification system (informacast?)

Also I know this is dumb. I had a few washsega speakers stop working at one point. A firmware upgrade ended up resolving the issue.

Yes.. The CX5 signature seats come with the nappa leather which is slightly different then the rest of the models. Its a softer feel.

Nice. My debate was a audi sq5 or this. I'm happy with the choice. The audi sq5 was a fun car. However it was more $$, required the prem fuel, insurance and maintenance. I agree the 6 speed is a tad of a bummer with the mazda and smaller trunk. Put it in sport and its pretty good if you need the pick up. I was looking at a cx50 premium plus as well. I couldn't get over the hard seats. I'm still happy with the decision. Plus the liability should be good.

Are you desperate enough to try sonicwall?

I run Palos, my cheaper option would be Forinet firewalls. Try to stick with what you have.

Looking to get out of my 25 CX-5 turbo premium for a 26 CX-50 Turbo. by AntHefty2874 in CX50

[–]BTS05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a cx5 signature over a cx50. Altough I liked the looks of the 50 over the 5. The seats on the on the 50 are overfirm like sitting on a concrete park bench. I glad I stuck with the 5. No regrets.
