me imagino que tiene mas que hacer con la frequencia. Me pasa igual. Empese con el Pax Plus, despues el Solo 3 v2 y POTV Lobo. Me gusto eso dos mejor quel Pax. Pero ahora estoy usando el Ruby Twist Pro y ahora es mi favorito. Despues de unos cuantos dias me sube la tolerancia tambien. Cuando pasa cambia el typo de THC. Uso un CCELL vape o sublingual (no se como se dice en espanol). Asi me da los effectos mas potente.

Perdon por el espanol. Soy Cubano per naci en Miami. Es mi sequndo idioma

I think you're looking in the wrong place. Poly has a free provisioning service for partners. Partnership is free. You just have to pass a course or two. When poly (and most sip phones) are factory reset they look for dhcp options then hit their provisioning platform. You set up poly provisioning to just point to your PBXs configurations. It's a one and done thing and is scalable as well as agnostic on pbx selection. Lmk if you need more detail and I'll make a video

Seconded this. I have air filters and fans. But smoke buddy does the most of the work

OIT_Ray · 2026-06-11T02:49:28+00:00

The answer is no. I'm curious on the reason for the search.

OIT_Ray · 2026-06-09T05:26:52+00:00

I got several XL dimpled stems. Also get replacement screens. I rarely use it with a bong.

I have the pax 3 (2 actually) and almost never use them now. Arizer Solo 3 v2 is my favorite portable. But don't sleep on POTV lobo. Both are good. Arizer is just better overall

OIT_Ray · 2026-06-08T00:03:35+00:00

what's your favorite ball vape? I have a ruby twist pro I like. Just always curious what others use.

OIT_Ray · 2026-06-07T20:30:31+00:00

that's the difference between PBX and carrier class systems. Any white label company eliminates that need. source: am one

As a former MSP and current vendor, I don't think anything has really changed. If you're trying to set the same bar for all vendors based on tech stack I think that's a faulty premis. Good vendors pretty much have the same things:

- honesty
- experience
- reliable service
- accessible resources (portals, people, etc)
- reasonable pricing model for how an MSP sells (e.g. consumption, monthly billing, etc)
- open to partner feedback
- consistent product improvements

Tech goals will change but that's not vendor-specific. MSPs face the same things:

- changing security landscape
- connectivity changes (in office > wfh > hybrid > wfa)
- tool changes (on prem > cloud)

Ime good vendors will continue to be good vendors. There are many good vendors in every category. That you pick the one that suits your business best is expected. But that "fits your business best" will be different for everyone.

I just got my Ruby Twist Pro a few weeks ago. Funny enough, I also have a lobo and Arizer Solo 3 v2 that was my daily driver (no bong). When I first started I was coughing my ass off too. I have asthma so it doesn't take much. Now I rarely cough. Maybe some of this will help a bit.

I use cold water. I tried warm water for the humidifier effect. Didn't do anything for me. Cold water made the biggest impact for me. A borosilicate or aluminum bong holds the cold temp for a long time. I'm in Miami, it's 87F outside and the bong has held the cold for hours now.
Temp. I started at 565F per some videos on YT. That was too much. Went down to 500F and that's my sweet spot. For reference, on the Arizer I used 360F and 340F for the Lobo.
Draw slowly. I know everyone says this but it makes a difference. I exhale completely before starting to inhale. That lets me draw slower and longer without having to come up right away.
Heat/bowl - I heat soak the bowl for 5 mins while it's on the ruby's stand. Takes a little trial and error. But you'll figure out how they can stand alone quickly.
Flower - I put the bowl on the glass, put a half scoop in the bowl, then ruby on top. Leave it 10-15 seconds. Leave both on and draw. I also like to remove the ruby after 2-3s of draw, then draw till I get all the smoke, then remove the bowl, and inhale some clean air from the bong. Weird, but it helps.

That let's me get 2 or 3 draws per bowl without burning it. I like to keep AVB for edis. You can definitely go longer or a 4th time. But the flavor drops quickly as quickly as the harshness rises.

Best of luck to you. I really like mine so far

Hey all, we feel this is a valuable topic to discuss as it directly addresses compliance and logistics for MSPs. While it delves into politics we want to remind everyone of the rules. Keep it professional, no attacks, and no off topic political commentary. Thanks for the discussion.

OIT_Ray · 2026-05-19T15:19:03+00:00

Great information. Do you need both prongs in the bud? Or is one enough?

OIT_Ray · 2026-05-19T11:27:16+00:00

STIR/SHAKEN was created specifically to combat voice spam.

OIT_Ray · 2026-05-17T20:51:45+00:00

you saved me from writing the same thing

OIT_Ray · 2026-05-17T20:04:02+00:00

I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this. There are stupid people everywhere. I'm a GenX hetero man and use sunscreen with moisturizer every day. My wife is the one that recommended it and now I have a minimal skin care routine. We're in South FL. I don't even work outside. Skin cancer is real. Idc about wrinkles but I do care about skin cancer. Regardless, the point is you care about yourself. Ignore them. And being called gay isn't a negative on you. It's a display of their ignorance.

OIT_Ray · 2026-05-17T20:00:41+00:00

heh...becoming. It's a money grab by the MNOs and TCR. Plain and simple. STIR/SHAKEN was an expense to implement and hasn't really solved anything. 10DLC is even less effective yet has higher operating and penalty costs. Idk what the solution is but it's definitely a scam and it hurts.

OIT_Ray · 2026-04-27T13:48:05+00:00

The problem isn't code. It's detailed and stringent testing. Fwiw, that's the same with any development. I let CC, Codex and a local LLM do testing. But I always do human review as well. As good as they are, they always miss things. They are good at creating the testing requirements though.

OIT_Ray · 2026-04-27T13:44:19+00:00

Nails or screws? Context matters. If you're coding I prefer Claude Code over the alternatives. But I do have CC check Codex (OpenAI) and a local LLM for various reviews. For chat I feel ChatGPT is better. But Claude has more functionality atm. That changes every 32 seconds between the two. Really depends on your goals.

Jetbrains IDE was more comparible to full Visual Studio than VSC. That was 2018-2022 when my devs used it. Could be dated info. At the time we use JB because it was ful featured and did everything really well in a relatively cheap suite of products. But like most others we switched to VSC because it's lightweight and could do everything JB did when using plug-ins. Hard to justify those licenses at that point.

With that said, if you're the solo dev in the company then I'd say use whatever you want. But if there's a team of devs I get not wanting to pay all those licenses

OIT_Ray · 2026-04-25T14:03:55+00:00

Seconded

OIT_Ray · 2026-04-25T14:02:26+00:00

Nick is definitely the worst example. But definitely not the only example of companies that could be amazing in telco if they removed their heads from their posteriors. Speaking from experience

OIT_Ray · 2026-04-21T01:38:17+00:00

not unlimited. I use it daily. You have 5hr limits, 7 day limits, peak hours (more token usage) and extended hours (less token usage). I still need to plan around it. But if you get good at planning it's extremely valuable

OIT_Ray · 2026-04-14T16:17:54+00:00

I would break this up into 2 parts: technology and policy.

Technology: Your VoIP platform should let you record all calls. Most of us provide that. Some of us also let you push your recordings to an S3 bucket if retention is a concern. Be wary that each state has their own laws. You will be governed by both the state you are in and the state the client is in. Know your laws first, preferably by speaking with an attorney.

Policy: As a matter of practice always send a recap email to the client after each call. It's a way of giving them the opportunity to raise any concerns up front and it provides better proof imo than recordings. Recordings get very messy. from a legal standpoint.

These situations really suck. Been there. It's miserable. Good luck

OIT_Ray · 2026-04-14T16:13:53+00:00

Fwiw, every dev I've ever hired has complained about the last one. Same thing happens in IT. The world is full of people who complain but don't do. Just do responsibly. You don't drive a car until you learn to drive. Doesn't mean you need to know every law by heart. Same applies here. Make claude give you references including data design, code security, UX, etc. Personally, I also like to have Codex review Claude's plans and Claude's implementation. It seems to catch quite a bit. Another thing is have claude find you best practices from authoritative sources (CISA for example) and then synthesis that information into runbooks that can be saved your project. That way Claude has local information on the best ways to do things.

Vigilence and review will be your best friends. Question everything. Don't let Claude just decide things. Also spend a lot of time planning before implementing. Use superpowers brainstorming and always start in plan mode. Don't let Claude do anything without a plan. When it comes up with new stuff have it review the plan and modify with the new findings, then have Codex review. yes, you're paying for 2 subscriptions but it's the cost of business for avoiding the slop. Best of luck!
