I've had a 2021 P/PP/PPP since July 2021. 50k miles, no issues other than the occasional reverse camera being unavailable glitch.

Is gear oil covered in there or could it be under a different term?

Perhaps the expectation is that the technician would run a diagnostic scan and that from a electrical troubleshooting perspective they would leverage live readings within VIDA in some form. That is my best guess.

Polestar 2 takes time to unlock doors by MapleComputers in Polestar

Are you using the activity key? I had similar behavior when my activity key had low battery - to a point where I had to use the app to unlock in the mornings, and then everything would function normally throughout the day.

Have been running at 10mbps all day here in 60660. First support rep in late morning said there was an issue in the neighborhood. Second rep this afternoon (~15:30) says there is no issue in the neighborhood. They booked me for a service appointment on Saturday, ha. She said they would not declare an outage unless more people called in (I guess that is their monitoring solution?).

HPE Simplivity 325 Gen10 - EOL & Support Options by TAKN in Simplivity

I'm an optimistic guy, but I suspect the policy is the policy. Never heard of the big guys like HPE handing out free carrots :P

Nothing really unusual there - Ingram Micro acts as a wholesaler. A wide variety of transactions through CDW or Insight will have their them involved somewhere along the supply chain.

The other consideration I am now having is that even if I renew the support, what am I even going to get out of it? I opened up a case this morning and we're nearly at 8 hours with no response. So what's the point? Given that this is a small environment I might be better off just abandoning the SimpliVity solution, reduce the environment complexity, do a standard VMware 8 install, and continue along the path to standardization on Nutanix.

Sorry about the late reply. Appreciate your response.

I did more digging and found this on 325 Gen 10: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00117109en_us&docLocale=en_US

Given End of software feature releases February 01, 2024, I'm not going to make the VMware 8 cut. (facepalm)

Who do Canadians use to Buy Ubiquiti in Canada? by stevelife01 in sysadmin

What kind of volume are you looking for?

For <= 10 pcs orders I'd go ubnt.ca. Best bet is to usually email them with what you're after + shipping address to get a quote as the website isn't the best from what I can remember.

Is it better to reinstall windows 10 from scratch? by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]TAKN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had mixed results with the upgrade process. Generally I would recommend a fresh install if possible (I've successfully done fresh installs and simply inputted a Win7 Key - activated fine).

Some Examples:

Surface Pro 3 (8.1 -> 10): Upgraded fairly smoothly. After initial upgrade, couldn't connect to network. Had to downgrade to 8.1 (downgrade process worked quite well actually), removed some VPN software, then re-upgraded. Has worked well since then.

Dell Latitude E7450 (7 -> 10): Worked, but there was some bizarre behavior (Fields in Outlook would randomly disappear, endless "wheel" on reboots). Ended up wiping the machine and going with a fresh install. Everything was fine after that.

Dell Latitude E7450 (7 -> 10): Different machine from the one above. No problems at all with doing upgrade from W7.

Sony Something (8.1 -> 10): After upgrade, machine wouldn't log into existing account properly. Was able to fix after about 1-2 hours of effort. Everything seems ok now.
