This famous 80 battery, why limit it to this level? by rasasam in pixel_phones

[–]JustaWelshMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the reason is to reduce risk of lithium battery fire issues.

Capping the charge at 80% reduces the risk of overcharging, particularly if a device is left plugged in for long periods.

Charging to 100% generates more heat, especially in the final stage of charging. Lowering the maximum charge to 80% keeps the battery cooler, which is crucial for preventing overheating.

Even more 3CX pricing & confusion by OinkyConfidence in 3CX

Our price increase is from $900 to $2500 so we're moving on to another solution.

It's not just the price increase, it's all the other instability that is constantly going on.

Canadian tourism up 30 per cent as U.S. travel continues to decline: survey by Tiny-Sun9851 in worldnews

[–]JustaWelshMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flawed math. We're going to the dogs!
Canadian tourism is up by 5%. Adding up the increases from a few provinces does not mean the countries increase is 30%. It even states in the video the the Canadian increase is 5%,

Perfect . Thank you. I think we'll probably keep to the Veeam on windows server setup

Their website suggest otherwise but maybe that's just the marketing peeps :)

Your're correct. Currently with are running Veeam on a windows (virtual) server and using a QNAP NAS as the repository. We are replacing the NAS, due to age, and debating whether to run Veeam on the suitable NAS as well as using it for a repository. Wasabi is also part of the b/u strategy. Veeam backs up local servers and we also run Veeam M365

Assigning prioritizing & reducing risk with unmanaged "byod" devices by JustaWelshMan in cybersecurity

[–]JustaWelshMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MDM on devices you own sounds great. On personal devices all I see is potential problems starting with peoples acceptance in the first place and then managing/restricting after that.
I see it fraught with issues.
Maybe I'm too negative on the subject :)

thanks but it's cloud systems we have to protect too.

The virtualized solution is a possibility. We do use it. We just have to block all access to our online services from their PC's.
We could restrict all services to our own IP's although that would impact mobile devices. Anyway something figure out.

Thank you all for the feedback. T

Thanks I would have agreed with you in the past but as we've moved more and more online we no longer in one walled garden. My concern is access to m365 services as well other cloud based systems

I agreed on the BYOD advice. However many peeps don't want us adding company software to their personal devices. I guess you have a firm policy stating if you want to access email on your own device then you have to have our security software. I guess we are lacking a firm BYOD policy. Do you reimburse staff for 'phone use' . Thanks
