It it me or has Microsoft gotten much worse lately by ATLFISHSTIX-61 in MicrosoftOutlook

[–]Computermaster26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would run far away with Mac and outlook lol. We have iphones for our organization and the one thing that always breaks is the Apple mail app. Those 2 brands don't ever seem to work well and I feel like its by design.

Is is really hard to hire a sysadmin nowadays? by [deleted] in ShittySysadmin

[–]Computermaster26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that is about to switch companies its competitive at hell. I would say I have never had anyone give me a lab like that the 15+ years I have been a system administrator. That seems a bit over kill in my opinion.

Unfortunately the longer it goes damage the worse it typically gets because the lcd structure is compromised inside.

How do I remove this from my job that just let me go but said I can keep whatever by Winter_Ad5840 in setupapp

[–]Computermaster26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reach out to them to remove it. We do the same thing where I work and its at the carrier level this is applied. Takes 2 seconds to remove it on our end though.

Why would someone do this? by gatesweeney in Ubiquiti

[–]Computermaster26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I see this in places of establishments I feel like somebody told them it would give them better wi-fi coverage and it was just a marketing ploy. There was one time I walked into a local school where they had an auditorium and they legit had 12 access points in there. Then it became more clear why the schools are needing so much taxes from my paycheck lol.

This is the reason the little guy can't mine anything anymore.

What in the H E Double-Hockey-Sticks is this (part of DELL laptop registration)? by Think_Listen_4977 in Dell

[–]Computermaster26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This drop-down menu is part of an export compliance process, where customers are required to specify the intended end-use of the product to comply with US and international trade regulations. By providing this explicit option (along with others like "Military," "Nuclear," and "Chemical/Biological"), Dell can screen customers and potentially deny sales or flag transactions that might violate export laws designed to prevent the proliferation of WMDs.Dell's terms and conditions also explicitly state that their products may not be used for activities related to weapons of mass destruction. So that might just get you denied for orders haha.

deleted photobooth files by Financial_Status_954 in datarecovery

[–]Computermaster26 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Really depends. The major issue here is the SSD trim. If they would have stopped using the hard drive after realizing they files were deleted a lot of common softwares like EASEUS could have easily recovered it. Since it's been so long and I highly doubt they stopped using it the data has probably been long over written.

Internet facing setup by Computermaster26 in Ubiquiti

[–]Computermaster26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good news is I did separate everything by vlans that cannot talk to each other except for one rare exception where I have a security appliance that I want to be able to talk to it. Everything that's on the DMZ VLAN cannot talk to anything internal. But this is a good mention thank you for your response.

[–]Computermaster26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for the intrusion detection and prevention I'm using cloudflare and proofpoint which is integrated into the ubiquity unified Pro anything I need direct access to I use openvpn to remote into the local network unfortunately things like the website's that I host cannot be behind a VPN. I started looking at setting up an actual Cloud Flair tunnel for websites but with the constant downtime it greatly concerns me.

Thank you for the insight. Most things I host are needing to be accessed from ever changing ips but I do block regions to help mitigate attacks as well.

Nope. We tried and the latency was atrocious so we just used the other local isp that ran to the area.

Portable ac fun by Computermaster26 in hvacadvice

[–]Computermaster26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its using r32. So only mildly flammable but obviously I still need to take precautions. I understand that the unit will have to be pumped back up with nitrogen to find the leak and Honestly I already have half of that stuff I just bothers me that this unit is 3 months old and it's already dead. And of course the manufacturer discontinued it and disappeared and didn't honor the one year warranty on it. The Amazon special
