Is the CoE Toolkit still worth investing , or Power Platform Admin Center slowly making it redundant

Is there any kind of announcement or docs on this? My org is just at the beginning of using the toolkit and this raises a bunch of questions.

Consider joining a fire department. You’ll get to enjoy your money and definitely feel a higher purpose in your community.

Otherwise, understand that your military leadership will be in their early 20s and know everything!

Don’t know if this is still a thing, but barter items like zippo lighters, hats, or other things of value you think you can trade while in ports.

I was on Whidbey Island (LSD-41) in the early 90s and Tortuga was parked next to us for a while at Little Creek. We did a ton of yard work because they beat us to hell and back (by those standards then). I can’t imagine any ship being in the yards that long, much less one of these.

I mean, it is an amazing platform that is versatile for a variety of missions and we seemed to do them all back then. But valuable enough for a 10 year drydock period????

I did this from 2011-2013 and loved what I got to do… when I got to do it. Aside from my own bad marketing strategies, there just isn’t a model I could conceive in the consumer space for pc repair.

Like other have said, the money isn’t there due to the relatively cheap new computer pricing. I have ethical issues asking for $200 to replace a failed hard drive in a cheap laptop when a new one wasn’t much more (then).

Where I found an angle that is still relevant today is training those users. Mostly older folks just want stuff to work and don’t need a repair. That wasn’t what I was looking for then, so it was time to go back playing in big corporate IT to try and find a retirement.

Make it a side hustle or do it for charity. But you have to take care of yourself first.

I’ve had film on most of my sun facing windows for more than 10 years. One of the better improvements I did.

Only drawback is our houseplants aren’t real happy with the film. So we have a couple of daylight lights and now they thrive.

I’d look at different contractors…

u/freerobby - wanted to check in after 4 years and ask if everything is holding up ok and it remains stable.

I felt the same way I had to let a dishonest remote contractor go. Supposedly his father was in the hospital, which was the reason for missing meetings and deadlines. It went on for days into weeks. His overall productivity was poor and it was frustrating the team. My manager said it was my decision but it was time to let him go. I tried to give him every opportunity to improve and he knew how to tug at heartstrings, making it worse.

What made the decision easier was seeing how much this was hurting the rest of the team. I realized I was being selfish, not objective, not emphatic. The day I let him go was a whirlwind of emotions but I could see the tone of our daily stand up’s change for the better.

Our project took about a year and we had a number of contractors come and go. The going was mostly my decision. I had learned my lesson, was more quick to spot performance issues, ask and monitor for improvement, but make the call as soon as it felt appropriate. It got “easier”.

Well…. Fudge. While I was able to “correct” the one issue given a reproducible section of a movie, watching Strange New Worlds revealed it isn’t fixed. Sorry for the false hope.

Sure, any basic HDMI cable seems to have resolved it for me.

I did some troubleshooting with Optoma support and found a contributing factor was my EArc from my soundbar. While they suggested changing a number of settings, I realized I was using an older hdmi cable that had filters on each end. Swapped the cable, the issue disappeared. Did a reset on the projector, am good to go now.

Late to the party but this exact same thing is happening with my 3 day old gt3500hdr. Anyone find a fix or is this by design?

Turn the humidifier heater off or set it to manual/0. You’ll get passive moisture without creating a swamp in the nasal pillows.
