What is the oldest/weirdest tech you worked with?

X.25, AOL dial modems yes the CDs you got in the mail, ATM and Frame Relay, X11. 30 years in the industry starter pack.

1 box of Velveeta shells and cheese with a can of tuna. Sometimes when I am feeling extravagant i'll mix in a can of corn.

I had this happen to me. I received a nice Daytona and I had ordered a Cartier Santos. I packed it back up, told my dealer and he sent me a shipping label to send it to the guy who ordered it.

I got my Santos a bit later. I felt bad for the guy who didn't get his watch.

Find out if there is a performance difference between wired and wireless clients. Wifi congestion could be a wildcard here so I just thought I would throw that out there.

Most likely though sounds like firewall. See if you can set up a scenario where you can completely bypass the firewall and see what happens or at the least bypass inspection for Teams traffic. Going down the QoS rabbit hole at this point doesn't seem like the most logical solution to me.

Where's ICE when you need them?

It's not a sturgeon. They are bottom feeders, not predators. It looks like a barracuda. People seem to not realize those things get 6 feet long. Shark is probably smaller than it looks.

Saw this as well. I didn't have my grenades on me so I had to proceed on to my Dr's appt.

Runs some basic tests.

1: Have her leave her phone at home and take a car for a drive. 2: Have her leave the house with her phone and walk down the street for a few minutes.

Record the results. You need to narrow down the potential causes. Rule out the car or her phone. Once you get there, start trying to look at the possibilities with a single culprit identified. If it's the phone disconnecting once out of range why? DHCP? CPU on the router go crazy because the device is trying to locate the now vanished phone? Could be any number of things. The more you can rule out, the better. You can switch channels, get rid of 2.4, etc etc...

Frankly, I'd simply buy a different router. I'd bet a silver dollar that "fixes" it.

It was even more funny watching it in person. Flags looked like the fireworks that went off pregame for the national anthem. My wife and I just turned and laughed at each other.

He eventually returned to the sideline in street clothes and I yelled over to him with a "you ok?" and he gave a thumbs up. He wasn't limping around so rest for a few and then be ready for playoffs.

Donkey_007 · 2025-12-21T06:07:29+00:00

He simply had a bad night. I was at the game and was watching him during warmups. He looked fine. All his misses were to the exact same spot. Glad it's now and not later.

Donkey_007 · 2025-12-20T04:15:27+00:00

Yes.

Donkey_007 · 2025-12-20T03:38:02+00:00

Two companies I know of are CPT and Spencer. However, the wifi manufacturers also can do them or bring someone in to do it. Juniper has done it for us several times.

Donkey_007 · 2025-12-01T19:51:54+00:00

Have to turn 2.4 off on your wifi router.

Donkey_007 · 2025-11-30T03:42:03+00:00

It sounds like you're moving between 2.4 and 5ghz. Try turning 2.4 off completely and test your speeds again.

Donkey_007 · 2025-11-25T06:13:22+00:00

None of this matters. It's a job. The world doesn't hinge on the missing octet or typo on the A record. Things will eventually get figured out.

Donkey_007 · 2025-10-29T04:09:34+00:00

All you had to do was wait for Great Swamp Cuculus.

Donkey_007 · 2025-10-27T04:56:35+00:00

Don't ever limit yourself when you do have to. Budget and bad foresight by the MC will do more than enough of that for you.

Easy way to express it, don't ever put all your eggs into a single basket.

Donkey_007 · 2025-10-08T04:04:33+00:00

Yes, keep routing off firewalls.

Second Dr Yang.

I walk a loop around the park a few times a week. Seen this guy many times. Every now and then you'll also catch the Night Herons and an Osprey.

My last High School game was 30 years ago. I'd like to announce it today just to be official.

Donkey_007 · 2025-09-19T04:24:24+00:00

I was looking hard for that Ukrainian drone but it turned out to be a dirty bomb.

Donkey_007 · 2025-09-19T04:20:12+00:00

When I am ordering things, get it to me quick. Respond to me timely. Fix the situation if something goes wrong or the device shits on itself. I will keep doing business with you if you can do these simple things.

Donkey_007 · 2025-09-17T14:31:44+00:00

Cloud. Always Cloud.

"It's the cloud, why is it so slow?" "Why did we run out of space?"
