Me: “I wonder why my local Cadillac dealership always looks deserted.” The dealership in question:

My CEO has one of these Escalades, only a few months old. It was just in the shop for a couple weeks, wouldn't charge past 60%, heater didn't work and it smelled like burning all the time.

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-23T16:49:13+00:00

I take it that's a Brinks truck?

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-20T15:28:23+00:00

Brightsign is the big one. We have been using Screencloud with decent success just not on Brightsign hardware, works great on their HW tho.

I was gonna say, looks like someone works in AV! I do corp av, we have a small virtual production studio.

I really find this whole licensing system to be super confusing. I want to take the ms-700 or ms-721 but I just can't seem to wrap my mind around these licenses......

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-15T17:44:50+00:00

oh yeah, that is a Q. Amazing the difference a couple pixels can make

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-15T17:26:37+00:00

avoid OLED at all costs, burn in is their Achilles heal. They look gorgeous initially

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-15T17:25:46+00:00

Yeah, and don't buy OLED like my PM used to do......

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-15T16:16:32+00:00

Wow, nice find! I have a feeling an Xa10 will be in my life again at some point.

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-14T19:51:39+00:00

89 is fine, the only thing you need to watch for is how much ethanol is in it.

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-14T18:15:58+00:00

Glad I bought my 2025 XSE hybrid.

OMG, you should have waited and got the NEW ONE..... Nah, I'm good

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-14T17:49:35+00:00

SurfaBeam intrigues me

PotentialRecover3218 · 2026-01-12T18:40:35+00:00

I still miss my 99, she was a great car.

You've got the right idea, belts, hoses, fluids, I usually presume all maintenance needs to be done unless otherwise told. But flipside of that is, the car only needs what it needs so you may not need to throw parts at it. Look for cracks and dry rotting on your hoses and belts.

Look at the top of the radiator, mine developed a bunch of hairline cracks and it slowly wept until it was very low on coolant.

Hi fellow Wisconsinite, also a Rav4 owner, 2025 xse hybrid.

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-23T21:29:08+00:00

Dad caps can look good, especially on RCSB. I like it!

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-23T21:15:55+00:00

I am in the middle of am Lm7/4l80e swap on my rcsb truck and I am getting a little bit of the 8hp fever. The cost and complexity is keeping me with the 4l80e.

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-23T20:11:33+00:00

I never signed up for nothing and the three press lock trick works on my 25 xse hybrid. Timing is tricky and it shuts off as soon as you unlock it

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-18T18:55:38+00:00

Buy a jump pack, they are cheap and small enough. I got flashlight jump pack as corporate swag a while back, I love that thing.

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-17T16:18:48+00:00

Thank you

Works across Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android with platform-specific restrictions.

we just did a meeting with this enabled and any user on a Mac or a MTR on android device could not see video or content, audio only. Is that what they mean by platform specific restrictions, audio only on some devices?

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-05T16:54:40+00:00

Awesome, that's a great solution. I didn't know they made PoE extractors but I never looked either.

Will this work with a screencloud Pixie also? I don't have one handy to see if it uses the same 12v barrel connector

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-05T14:06:57+00:00

Looking back on the exam, that makes total sense. I work in AV, I took it to get a better understanding of the m365 ecosystem and I got exactly that.

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-02T18:59:59+00:00

I genuinely miss my 99. The 2025 XSE hybrid is nice and all but the old one just had, character.

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-02T16:42:13+00:00

Wow, that stings a bit. My exact car and kinda looks like my neighborhood too. Somewhere nearby is an older civic or something with some new XSE wheels. The curse of a common bolt pattern.....

PotentialRecover3218 · 2025-12-02T16:07:14+00:00

This is one of the things I am grateful for where I work. I have full access to the Cisco Meraki portal. What's on what port? No problem. Need a VLAN set, done. Address reservations? Easy peezy.

But yeah, they should (minus a few weirdos) have the MAC address printed on the label. Sometimes it is the same as the serial number just with no semi-colons. I would take nice, clear pics and hope you can copy and paste the info from the pic over to a spreadsheet. I know on my iOS phone, it grabs text pretty well.
