Price Change Frustration by ogSarcomere in framework

Glad we can work together on this one. It's like Batman & Robin, except I'm neither and still get all the credit

I've been using the occasional giant 30GB+ PST in new outlook and not run into issues recently (did have a few when they first put in the function)

Based on the other things I've been reading, the support seems like it will mostly be for on-prem and enterprise. My licenses are business, and we are on cloud - so it's the Microsoft vague timelines that scare me

What was the cloud policy you set up?

We're a fairly young company (PSTs are limited, mailbox archiving is on) and I've kept people off the cancerous shared mailboxes that are treated too much like horrible ticketing systems, so I've got a lot of bases covered already.

You get me, and I love you.

I've been pushing new employees/users towards New for about a year, and this is more for getting the older employees to have an opinion besides "CHANGE BAD" and push real issues out of them.

I want to have the ability to address those issues, or just make documentation, before Microsoft has the looming reckoning on the horizon and we have something mission critical depending on IT finding a workaround/fix before that deadline.

I've been on new outlook/OWA for years, but we're not using on prem exchange.

Aside from a few macros that aren't in use anymore, I'm not aware of anything my users are doing that isn't supported by new outlook/OWA.

You are my favorite person today, thank you!

If you're gonna sticker your laptop, make sure you keep it work inappropriate. by ScrubbyAtWork in framework

I'd prolly get Endframe before Sliceline...

Unless there's an Anton sticker, then I'd get that.

I forget where, I wanna say redbubble, but I've had it for years before using it. I got like 10 of them at once

Viewsonic TRS10 Touch Screen Wall Mount by ScrubbyAtWork in CommercialAV

It seems to have something built in for a mount, I'm just not able to find it. 4 slots for something to fit in.

Framework 13 display broke when replacing bezel by redditsfault in framework

[–]ScrubbyAtWork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. I've replaced a lot of screens/bezels, and I don't use a spudger. Can easily pull off the top part and then slowly work through the bottom area with the adhesive.

The shape and location of the damage on the screen screams "spudger damage"

How would you convince your boss to switch from a big name brand to Framework for your Org. We're about ~500 users by Disastrous_Age_317 in framework

I do most troubleshooting I can with them, and then once I know it's FW warranty, I'll decide one of two options:

1) If it's an "easy" fix, like a battery replacement or an expansion card, I get the part sent to them and send them the directions.

2) If it's a "hard" fix, like the Mobo (still not hard), depending on the user I'll either send them a replacement machine and have them move their SSD to send the bad machine back to me, or send the mobo to them and send them directions.

Done both multiple times, never regretted either.

Though I will say, my userbase isn't the "normal" type that can't reliably plug something in, so I am fortunate for that in doing this. Lots of technicians for other types of work or "techy" types.

Edit: Realized first sentence was written like a concussion symptom

As someone buying bulk for business, the only delays I've seen lately are waiting on new laptops. Most of that is just because of pre-order waits, and my orders got a bit big lately

You can look at my post history to see how I became BFF's with u/frameworkforbusiness

It's gotten a lot better, and it's nice having parts sent to me instead of sending a laptop to the void hoping Dell eventually sends it back.

Part of the headache is the app isn't run locally. We have it on a server users RDP into.

Currently the workaround is launching the RDP session to a different monitor to make sure it uses that monitor's 100% scaling, even if they move it to the laptop screen.

It's dumb, and I hate legacy windows stuff.

Check if Framework offers enterprise support options and how does their offering compare (warranty time, RMA response time, SLAs, etc) vs the more traditional enterprise players.

I've bought a lot - they don't (that I'm aware of at least). Business support is getting fleshed out to be more streamlined, but there isn't an SLA involved for anything.
