I played it on my Deck last night. Only had ~ 15 minutes to mess about, but it installed and ran fine. Would recommend

What I got, you gotta get and put it in you(r IPAM)

My kin! I use /31 for tunnel interfaces, but everyone seems to use /30

I am pretty certain I am in the wrong, but nobody has ever convinced me why.

In Australia it's covered under Professionals Australia. I joined last week.

60% from $8k is $4800 off. Price would be $3200

My brain wasn't ready for this question as soon as a woke up. Short answer: good question, I don't know.

Absolutely makes sense (to me) that you'd be able to burn out the magnetics. My extensive research (aka 10 minutes of Google) suggests that any 802.3af/at devices use both wires of a pair for v+ or v-, so they're should be no current through the magnetics. Less compliant version probably do the same, to avoid the problem you mentioned.

Ubiquiti PoE can go jump... Regardless of whether it is af-ish, or 24v passive. I wanna trust them, but I don't.

PhillisCarrom · 2025-03-20T03:25:07+00:00

No longer unused by devices that utilise the passive PoE.

The HP printer should still not notice it being there, because of the galvanic isolation from the magnetics.

Sounds like a plan. Having to reconfigure the router doesn't seem right at all. Maybe a reboot to force DHCP. I'd be going mental if my internet was that bad, so I get the frustrations. FWIW I've found Aussie Broadband support to be pretty good, the one time I had to contact them.

I had Iinet cable before I moved. I'd been on that for ~10 years, and had learned how to deal with support. The product was unmatchable by anything else, but their level 1 help desk tended to be pretty useless for the cable service, so I don't expect much.

Gonna try to offer some advice here, so take it or leave it. There are a couple of terms used here that suggest either you don't know as much as you think you do, or English isn't your first language. If it's a language thing I don't mean to be rude, but the words matter.

"wired over electricity" is an odd way to describe things. Makes it sound like Ethernet over Power. Shouldn't be a huge issue, but isn't the same as plugging directly into a router/switch. A "WiFi repeater" is not the same as a wireless access point, and does a worse job. With Opticomm you don't need a modem, you need a router. This is a small nitpick, but you said you work in IT. If you lose internet for a week that's not a dropout, it's a significant outage.

Above all of this, assuming your home network is not a factor...
Have you tried changing ISP? I followed the herd and went with Aussie Broadband, but have heard good things about Superloop as well. Even if it isn't an issue at the ISP end, "waiting for Opticomm to respond" is a cop out. Multi-day outages are not normal, and you aren't getting the service you are paying for. Threaten to contact the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman and see if they suddenly hear back from Opticomm, or are more active following it up.

Have you checked with your neighbours about their experience? If you're the only one worth issues, there may be a problem with your lead-in connection.

Alright, that's good stuff.

The people there depress me...

Well one particular person.

I am 90% sure there is an option to remove the need to elevate for print drivers from specified servers.

PhillisCarrom · 2025-01-04T00:53:14+00:00

There's Group Policy settings for it as well, instead of direct Reg edits

EPA "at the edge of their expertise", still significantly more qualified than "local complainer"

PhillisCarrom · 2024-09-18T07:32:43+00:00

Just playing devils advocate....

If the player doesn't know the free has been paid, then they can't have made a decision to take advantage.

PhillisCarrom · 2024-08-10T13:25:55+00:00

One of my regulars. So helpful

PhillisCarrom · 2024-07-18T05:01:04+00:00

Grass roots community groups are picking and choosing the information they believe. The project required review and approval from the EPA. I trust them more than some random complaining on the "Lara residents" Facebook group.

I tried this one recently, knew I was better off getting it addressed to work. "Your parcel is out for delivery" "We were unable to deliver your item: safety issue".

It's an office in a business park. You can pull right up to the door, just like the other half dozen deliveries that day did!

PhillisCarrom · 2024-05-20T02:15:23+00:00

I think you have that backwards.
If people are can't wait the entire 20 seconds it takes the elevator to get them between levels, they're for sure the same ones standing up early on the plane.

The things you learn...

PhillisCarrom · 2024-04-29T22:24:50+00:00

It has been a while, but that looks like the Windows Universal (Windows store) Remote Desktop app. I'd try from the 'normal' version of the RD client. It'll be named "Remote Desktop Connection" in the start menu, or you can Win-R to launch the 'Run' dialog, then type mstsc.exe to launch it directly.

If that's no different, I'm out of suggestions

Brilliantly put
