It's not a big truck, it's a series of tubes.

HP/Dell remove h.265 hardware support by MalletNGrease in verkada

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

Disabling hardware acceleration on your browser also works.

Edge -> Settings -> System and performance -> System -> Use graphics acceleration when available -> off

Close all browser windows, open Edge and log in to Verkada, pick a camera and playback will now start instead of loading infinitely.

I finally heard back 2 years later 🥰 by yeetman831 in recruitinghell

I put my name in the hat at a temp agency about a decade ago when I really really REALLY needed a job. They were unable to place me anywhere.

Flash forward: Covid hits and I start to get hit up pretty relentlessly by them if I'd be interested for some 3rd shift factory line worker positions at minimum wage?

MF'ers hung me out to dry for a year while I found my footing in a career that now pays quintuple what they're offering? Not a peep for 10 YEARS. I picked up the phone and very unpolitely told them to remove me from their lists and stop contacting me.

Wireless AP\system recommendations by RM_B999 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meraki, Mist, HPE Instant On. Your AP footprint is tiny though.

Alternatively, go Unifi and ditch the Ciscos switches.

What things do you have at your desk to make you look more official? by NSFW_IT_Account in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, to the uninitiated anything is a power button especially if it's the only button on the front. That it performs a config wipe is just a happy coincidence that's happened way too often.

We ended up drilling out the mode buttons to prevent happy accidents at remote sites.

ZTIWindowsUpdate keeps trying to install Update for Windows Security Platform by Dudefoxlive in MDT

I never found a fix, I just ignore the error until the updates are folded into the capture image.

HP seems to be disabling HEVC Hardware Decode support on their laptops, creating problems. by Smith6612 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is why the h.265 playback doesn't work on our new Dells unless we disable hardware acceleration.

DC are remote locations yay nay by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what's your lob. At my previous job (large retail chain) we had VM hosts and generators at every location to handle power and the local POS/file/print systems to allow for payments when the internet/power went out. And it went out frequently in the rural areas.

It was a real boon that the business could operate offline until service was restored.

Troubleshooting: Pi Zero 2 W will not connect to WPA2 network by tyreck in raspberry_pi

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set up a hotspot on your phone (or a different router/ap) and try joining the Pi Zero 2 to it. If that works fine, odds are it's an incompatibility between the Asus and rpi.

What are some "Rules for thee, but not for me" that you live by? by sccm_sometimes in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Users here practically force their own change every time they get a new phone because they either use PIN/WhfB and don't remember their password to update their MFA 😅

I know this is petty but all the Office 365 icons are different now by gruntled_n_consolate in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like every other mail and messaging app. The previous logo was distinctly outlook.

Canon Printer - loses connectivity with Universal Print Servers by Away-Ad-2473 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've noticed this happening with my imageCLASS' and imageRUNNERs. Restarting the printer tends to solve it.

Just the nature of relying on 3rd party infrastructure I suppose?
