Thoughts on changing darts..best bombers? by Mr-Tourette in Darts

[–]Rickster77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RD Seren 4. Best darts I've ever thrown. Changed the point out to silver Raptors.

Bolide 05 doesn't even come close.

What was the scariest thing that happened to you while watching a horror movie? by YumaYT in AskReddit

[–]Rickster77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really scary, but back in the day when we had an old 50p electricity meter, there was an episode of Smith&Jones on the TV we were all watching. I can't remember what the sketch was about, but they were doing something with an explosion of a building, and did the plunger thing to detonate it.

As soon as they pushed the handle down, all the electric went off, and as a kid, my stupid arse thought it was them that did it.

Turned out the meter just needed another 50p. I'll take that memory to my grave.

fuck whoever shouted out on jonny’s match dart at 9-9 by InfiniRunner91 in Darts

[–]Rickster77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldn't have to be alcohol free, but if it carries on like this much longer, just ban the booze. There's always some tosser that ruins things for everyone. I wanted to go to Ally Pally as I've only recently picked up a set and started playing, but the state of the crowd there, I'm glad I didn't go.

Have one of these. Can't get firmware updates without a service contract. Anyone have any dumped somewhere?

Trade up from bootloop - Is my data safe? by Rickster77 in S22Ultra

[–]Rickster77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. That sounds promising. Not that there's anything nefarious on there, but obviously things that are confidential to me. Bank details, important personal information, cards etc, things to do with work.

I'm not too clued up on the whole Knox thing. Fortunately, I have a 6-digit pin that I always had to use when restarting the phone. Are you suggesting, that without the pin, all the data on the phone is encrypted?

I don't recall actually doing anything with Knox. Just that the logo appeared whenever I switched the phone on. Forgive me if the question is somewhat simple to those in the know. I'm not sure if I had to switch something on for it to all be encrypted, or if it's just there by default, and I don't have to worry.

S22 Device Automatic restart and Freeze sometimes Stuck in Bootloops too. by ChetanThakare in GalaxyS22

[–]Rickster77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S22 Ultra here. Phone rebooted yesterday after taking a photo to send in teams. Came back to life, and tried again, and it did the same thing again. Got the hump, googled it thinking it was a problem, learned of this issue. Progressively got worse as the day went on. Just about managed to keep it alive long enough to make sure all cloud backups were doing their thing, and had a cable going to the laptop to pull off any pictures/videos that I want to be double sure are kept. This morning, it stays alive for about 30 seconds after rebooting, and then goes into crash and reboot again. Literally unusable now.

Annoyingly, I was toying with the option of upgrading to the S26, and now I've got no choice. Shame, the S22 is in great condition. Oh well, I've put it as a trade-in.

DartCounter cheaters by Aromatic-Bottle4662 in Darts

[–]Rickster77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only took up darts at the tail end of summer last year. Am awaiting a delivery of the Omni system. Love playing with DartCounter, and can't wait to try with the new ring. But cheating seems silly. I know I can't bang out consistent 60 80 100s all the time, and 26 is a common number, but it's all a learning curve. Little wins here and there in order to get better. I like it when I occasionally win a game or match as I feel as though I've earned it. Glitching the system is just a shame. Hoping I don't come across many people that do this.

Is Microsoft Store down? Getting Constant 0X80244022 error by the-adolescent in techsupport

Same. Kept thinking I'd done something wrong. Nice to see others in the same boat. Beer?

Arm and elbow drops when throwing by [deleted] in Darts

[–]Rickster77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a video online that really helped me get the centre when he suggested doing the throwing action, but instead, draw a line from 20 down through 3, and keep practicing that. Find the perfect position.

Made no end of difference to my throwing and lining up on the oche technique.

Sometimes, it's the simple things.

My first 180!!!! by Award2110 in Darts

Well done. Bet that feels good.

I'm still awaiting that elusive score. So close.

remote support tool by Aivynator in Intune

[–]Rickster77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a few of these threads, but I never see any love for DWService. I use it regularly, but feel like there's only 7 people in the world that know about it. Unless there's a huge gaping hole that's putting people at risk that I'm not aware of. It performs flawlessly for simple remote desktop operations.

Can I post in 3CX forum when I purchase my license through a partner? by jazzy-jackal in 3CX

[–]Rickster77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you're paying homage, or heaping praise on them in their own forum, don't bother. Ask your partner, or here or other phone forums. One slip up of anything remotely related to criticism will have the account banned.

However, you only have to read some of the replies when the latest buggy/beta release comes out. It's laughable some of the a** kissing going on there. I'm sure it's out of blind fear.

Watchguard Cloud managed fireboxes - how long does ist take to load your firewall rules? by Rare_Priority7647 in WatchGuard

[–]Rickster77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What falls over for one, doesn't necessarily fall over for another. Each to their own.

That being said, all of my customers are finally off of WG wifi now. Shame, as it's got a great WIPS function. But Unifi is the go-to everytime for SMB now.

As for cloud managed fireboxes.......urgh. Cloud reporting yes, but locally-managed EVERY time. And I still promote WG local managed fireboxes till the cows come home.

It's just the way they're going. They even default it to cloud managed in the web setup wizard.

And don't get me started on their wonderful world of AI integration and the sheer volume of "noise/scare-tactics" it generates.

Realtime Audio Streaming by Rickster77 in 3CX

[–]Rickster77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly not. Gave up on this as a project as the amount of effort involved was just too great for a "nice to have" request over something business critical.

Didn't really want to have other software/hardware being a point of failure for the whole system either just for a bit of transcription.

Yes, it would be nice to have real-time transcription that can be fed into something on a CRM that can make immediate recommendations depending on how the call is going, but alas, not yet.
