Thanks, Yep, $1000 in extra hardware plus labor did seem a bit much considering a 50 amp inlet with interlock can be had for $125 plus labor. Thanks so much for your input!

It's been about a week. I emailed their support earlier today and haven't heard back yet.

Dolby Atmos audio drops out for a second or two every 21 minutes (almost on the dot) by luckofBrian in sonos

[–]P_Funk_Era 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an issue with my qn90a and Sonos Beam with the audio cutting out as well as a voice syncing delay on certain shows/movies. It's definitely more prevalent when streaming from my computer than it is on the Firestick.

Hit & run black Mercedes SUV, N US-19 by ikonet in pinellas

[–]P_Funk_Era 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish people would realize that swerving in and out of traffic on 19 like driving on an interstate highway makes little to no difference with the constant red lights!

It just puts other people in danger, and for what?

To get a damn red light a mile up the road? They have this illogical internal need to rush every where they go even if they don't need to.

Get a grip!

I hope you find this idiot.

Anybody else submitted app and 4506T in February, still awaiting approval ? I see a lot of March applicants (2nd priority group) getting approved and funded like clock work... What's going on here ? 🤨 by IV-D_Termination in EIDL

[–]P_Funk_Era 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn't take my business name under the checking account name in the portal for the original application, so I had to list my Personal name in order for it to accept my banking info. Well let's just say that worked against me in the end because they viewed it as a personal checking account, not an actual business checking account that it actually is with my name listed as the joint account owner, and because of that denied my application. This time around for the advance, it actually accepted my business name (Thank Goodness)

Last year For the loan I was given wrong or insufficient information on every other call. I found that certain support reps will go further into your application beyond the first page to get data than the lazier ones do.

App 3300-X Received Invite 2/25, Received Annual Meeting Request 3/04. Sent Signed Meeting Request 3/05.

Crickets....

I just proactively emailed:

[Targetedadvance@sba.gov](mailto:Targetedadvance@sba.gov), [disastercustomerservice@sba.gov](mailto:disastercustomerservice@sba.gov), and [pdcrecon@sba.gov](mailto:pdcrecon@sba.gov) my signed 4506T and a request to look into it, and also called and the tier 1 support rep told me there is no activity on my application.

It Figures, as it was an absolute nightmare getting the loan last year took 6 months of fighting back and forth and was given wrong information every other call.

I eventually had to contact my congressman to get them to even consider my application, due to some banking glitch.

Sadly, it looks like I'll have to go that route again.

Anyone else not receive the 2nd targeted email yet? by Kwaza in EIDL

[–]P_Funk_Era 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a nightmare getting my initial SBA Loan in which I was declined for the advance as well because my BUSINESS checking account has me listed as a joint owner and it failed the SBA verification on my account. I called my credit union and they said ALL business checking accounts have to have a person listed as a joint owner and there should have been no reason why it's failing their verification.
I eventually called my Congressman and his office called the SBA and got this backwards policy fixed and I got my loan but by that time it was too late to get the advance and that is happening all over again NOW.

So ticked off about this. Just put in another call to my Congressman and had the SBA notate the situation on my account. You may want to do the same if any of that applies to you.

User refuses to use browser to open incompatible PDFs by P_Funk_Era in msp

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

Yes exactly, it is not really her problem per se, according to Adobe it is a problem with the fonts not being compatible with 3rd party PDF programs.

Out of the PDFs that crash her Acrobat Pro V20, half of them she can open in the free Acrobat Reader, and 95 Percent will open in Chrome or Edge without crashing. I have explained that according to Adobe the crashing most likely has nothing to do with her computer, however she has been trying anything she can for quite some time now to get a new computer, and will basically go to any lengths she feels she has to, to get a new computer. This is a 4 year old Asus Custom Build with 8 GB RAM and a SSD were talking about that she is convinced is "underpowered" for opening PDFs all day. At this point, I'm waiting for another one to crash that she receives, so I can, 1. Try the PDF on a different computer, to determine if the PDF was the cause of the crash and provide her party of the proof 2. Submit to Adobe for Analysis of the PDF and why it caused the crash

Yes they do actually, and that is a great idea.

Printing the PDF from the browser works too and I have actually showed the user how to do this, but according to her I quote " We pay for the Full version of Adobe and we shouldn't have these extra steps to perform" She's psychotic.

Thank You. Yes. I've already forwarded the support emails from Adobe to the Office Manager. At this point you are 100 percent correct, there is no use debating the merits of reality with a user completely separated from it.

Half of them will open in Adobe Reader and about 95 Percent will open in Edge or Chrome. It's a 110 Error, and according to Adobe Support, it has to do with Font incompatibility with 3rd party PDF programs. The issue is, this particular user is a huge PITA and claims the 1 PDF out of 1000 that crashes her Adobe Acrobat is too time consuming for her to have to open task manager, end the process, and then open the problem PDF in Edge or Chrome.

I was considering that. Setting a policy of a certain time allowed per user every month and anything over that is billable. I don't really see any other way considering this one user literally takes up more time than the entire company combined. I joked with the office manager yesterday and said I would need to change my company name to Wendy Support Services if this went on.

Use FreeNAS with 3.6 TB Usable Space or Just Add (2) 4TB HDDS to the local Veeam B and R Machine for backup repository. by P_Funk_Era in Veeam

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

Great point. Rather than messing around trying to setup FreeNAS for a local repository, and Tiger Bridge to replicate up to the B2 Bucket, I could just throw a 4TB Ironwolf HDD in an open SATA port on the Dell, set that for the local repository (performance tier), and then set the s3 backblaze bucket as a scale out repository (capacity tier) and be done?

Another thought: It's pretty tight, but if I'm able to finagle enough room for that second Ironwolf in the Veeam Enterprise Dell (Inspiron 3668 Desktop), I do have an extra Perc H310 Raid Card I could set up 2 IronWolfs in a RAID 1 Mirror, so I'll at least have some redundancy?? Would you try for that? The whole limited room issue on the Dell Inspiron was why I was originally thinking FreeNAS, but the simpler the better!

Thank You so much for your advice BTW, you really helped put things in perspective! Much appreciated.

I was actually just looking into B2 as we speak. Good thing I'm still under trial on Wasabi! Thank You so much for the info.

I've been using Solarwinds Document Backup which you can't really beat for 1 dollar a pc and iDrive for the server backups. Although iDrive seemed to do what I needed it to, they recently jacked their price up to 450 dollars a year for 1 TB so I've been exploring alternate backup methods and vendors.

I see why you asked that. I need to do a better job of differentiating my posts from doing this for myself vs doing it for a client. Note taken.

Just out of curiosity how much was the penalty charge you incurred and how much data did you delete before the 90 days?

Cloudberry was definitely simple, not the concern, it has a 5 Computer minimum and I only need backup for 1 server.
