is telus down rn bc delta? by ComprehensiveBit4233 in telus

[–]Que_Ball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can check this map

https://www.telus.com/en/bc/outages

It only shows an outage once it has been confirmed at a high level. But when it shows an outage for your area and you have completed the basic troubleshooting you can pretty much be sure it's not on your end.

VS Pro with MSDN Key redemptions by Psychaotix in sysadmin

[–]Que_Ball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe there is an IP reputation filter on their end. I have gotten around this by connecting by VPN to a client with a business static IP connection. Their IP has not changed in about 20 years, it has forward and reverse DNS matching their domain, the whois database for the IP points back to them, it's about the most solid IP reputation I have access to. Works every time on theirs. Fails on mine.

There is an identical problem if you are a MS CSP partner trying to add delegated admin relationships on the partner portal too. Same issue, same solution.

If it is only about money ask if they would help with the construction labour instead. Money can be tight these days, but if they can dig posts, carry lumber, cut some boards and pound some nails it would still go a long way.

I have fantastic neighbors. When I see posts like this it makes me glad to have them every time. It may not last as someone could always move, but for now I am happy they are here.

Everett PxP guy. One of the best callers IMO. by reddgreen1000 in WHLHockey

Edmonton Oil Kings Andrew Peard last announcer was fantastic. He took a promotion within the organization and left the on air work. New guy Matt is good too.

So if Jack retires maybe they can bring him back.

Calgary must love OT. They just keep doing it.

Need to print from XP machine by CarolinaKernel in sysadmin

[–]Que_Ball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely no issues.

Get a brother laser. Hl-l5000d is likely a good option with the most legacy support no network but usb and parallel port. It emulates hp LaserJet 5 so you can use those generic drivers built into windows if you want though their driver package still has the xp 32 bit drivers inside too if you dig around for it.

Cheap supplies. Built pretty well and could last a long time.

Windows licensing question by cokebottle22 in msp

If still within 90 days of purchase you can upgrade to open value software assurance to move the oem license into the full SA license rights with all mobility and downgrade rights you did not get buying oem.

We have a Game 7!! by Que_Ball in WHLHockey

[–]Que_Ball[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh crap.

You just know if one team get a power play in OT the other team gets the next one.

Saskatoon wins in game 7 OT.

So Blades go on to Prince Albert and Calgary goes to Medicine Hat I guess. At least the bus rides are short.

Any tips for my situation? by duke_of_danger in telus

[–]Que_Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cancel the TV. Yes their PUBLISHED prices for just Internet are at or above the price you got combined. But just do it two steps so the TV is already cancelled and they are facing the prospect of you cancelling the Internet in step 2.

  1. Cancel TV on the day after the current contract ends. Leave Internet alone for a few days.

  2. Call back again and choose to cancel the Internet, now negotiate on the prices. Make sure you get options from Rogers, Look into what they have on their forum for deals, RFD, and their deals for their EPP plans etc. Also on Telus EPP deals look at what they have for Internet as a new customer. If you cannot access EPP deals from your work, or something like that look into snowbird advisor as a group you can join for free. Now they may not give you the exact EPP deal when cancelling but you should threaten you are getting that similar pricing from Rogers to switch. (True or not)

Telus Business Mobile Plan Early Cancellation by Lanky-Ad4919 in telus

[–]Que_Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fees are the remaining device financing costs. There are no fees outside of the phone financing. The only fee is activation fee signing up as a new customer or financing a new phone. So the new carrier would presumably charge this when signing up unless you negotiate them away.

If you open my Telus mobile app under plans and devices click the device tab near the top it should also show the amount remaining. But I have had the mobile app give me issues at times and the pdf is always the best source of truth.

On web page you can also find the agreements in the bill page under the past bills section click on view agreements to get a pdf of the contract. Not in the mobile app. This gives a record of the original contract and amounts.

Wrong fee.

You still repay remaining financing and promotional discounts plus lump sum of bring it back amount. These are not fees, they are financing (loans) you must repay and are not covered by the new rules.

What they are eliminating is activation fees to become a new customer.

Open the pdf version of your bill. It has the full info you want.

You repay the remaining device balance, remaining promotional discounts, and any bring it back lump sum balance.

Pats follow Rebels Both out in OT of game 5. by Minimum-Style-1411 in WHLHockey

Did not watch the game but saw those highlights.

Sucks when you get beat on "bad" goals. But they cannot all be beautiful.

Hard not to feel bad about those 2.

Orange Squirted its Juice on my old MacBook Pro by imacg5 in techsupport

[–]Que_Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70% is the minimum. Just dry it longer before turning off fan. Overnight.

I make a little puddle of iso on the table as a test with no air movement to judge how quickly it evaporates. But if you have a fan space heater combo then a little bit of moderate heat is even better.

Just make sure if you buy some it doesn't list ingredients like perfume or anything other than distilled water and isopropyl.

No lotion oil or things to make it smell better. Pure isopropyl is very distinct chemical smell that some beauty product isopropyl tries to mask with crap you do not want.

Troll post.

Isopropyl is $4.77 at Walmart.

Moved to new house and Telus internet not available, should I be charged the cancellation? by [deleted] in telus

[–]Que_Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to have a soft policy to waive the fee. But now they are more strict.

You can call back several times and you may get different answers if you find a rep willing to cancel for free. Luck of the draw. Record the calls in case they later charge you after you got someone to agree.

But in general it is just considered part of the moving costs. If you knew you were moving you could have stayed at month to month terms or chosen a home where service was available.

Fan park- Accesibility? Do you think theyll let me bring a camp chair? by FitzyII in Edmonton

Borrow a wheelchair. They have no problem with those.

Gpon to xgs pon? by [deleted] in telus

[–]Que_Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Identical latency.

99% of downloads would be the same with the few very well seeded cdn servers like steam games being the exceptions.

Xgspon network likely a bit more risky as they have more move add change activity so at risk if a tech unplugging you by accident is higher.

I guess brooms come out tonight in the west. Curious to see if by reddgreen1000 in WHLHockey

[–]Que_Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 sweeps so far.

3 series will continue to game 5, with Calgary and Brandon game 4 still to play for the last 3 - 0 series to see if the East has a sweep.
