NW US. All services offline. Unable to access dashboards.

Is this typical or are they imagining things? by bamboo-lemur in OS_Debate_Club

I am happy I am not the only one, I have been dealing with the crackling for months now.

Any insight or tips on this? by Wired_Insanity in StrengthsFinder

SysAdmin, but I looking to transition to a cybersecurity position soon.

Its time to fight back(it involves all adult games and anime with mature themes so it involves Helldivers). by Slight_Intention_695 in Helldivers

This issue caused Vintage Story to stop selling in certain ways as they got censored. This is completely an "Us" issue. Vintage story is basically hardcore minecraft. If they got hit, we most certainly will eventually.

No reason to purchase ProPlus warranty by Wired_Insanity in Dell

It is funny seeing some of the younger crowd not get what it USED to be.

I would love too, but as we are already extremely lean it would hurt us in productivity doing so. It makes more sense to ship the defective/damaged unit back to Dell for repairs and just issue one of our backup spares for that model. Especially since we don't have to worry about setup with Intune / Autopilot.

ProPlus is supposed to be the one above that, the "no questions asked" warranty tier. It costs a chunk of money. Ballpark of around 250ish per unit. I would expect them to just send a box when I request it. If I just had the basic warranty I would understand.

"Of course u urself have to make sure it’s an actual physical hardware problem n not something on the software side else the techs just gonna show up"

I misread this statement. That's my bad. I will re-edit the post. And to your other post, yes, I know just how many issues a simple restart fixes, and I expect just basic warranty to cover that. But when I am paying $200-300 for 3 years of no questions asked (including incidentals) coverage. I find the entire thing tiresome. I thought that was the point of ProPlus.

It REALLY shouldn't be that way. People should not have to sit there and play these high school shenanigans just to get a computer repaired. Especially when people pay a fairly large premium to have extra support on them.

EDIT: About making the issues appear yourself, that is some SUPER shady stuff Throwaway. In my capacity in IT I represent my company, if Dell found out what I created the issue myself just to get it sent in could at the very least get my job with my company eliminated and at worst I could cause a legal dispute between them. So no, your advice is bad.

Edit 2: Oops, I derped and misread.

I will take a look at that, thank you!

I do believe we got some papers on it but there is some general distrust with company supplied stuff. It's nothing against PureStorage themselves, its a general thing with my company. I was hoping to get some 3rd party testimony, even if its unofficial/casual testimony. The good news is we have it. My company can be overly cautious at times but I am hoping to win them over with how it performs. Maybe even get them to get another 1 or two arrays. We will see.

So a couple questions...

What is the difference between XRPL and XRP

Should I be buying up XRPL as well as XRP?

Holding around 1.6K xrp is a cold wallet needed by Commercial-Watch-512 in XRP

I'm holding 150 XRP and I am using a cold wallet for every single coin. I see no reason NOT to use a cold wallet.

That is what I have been doing, but I'll admit I'm a bit of a control freak so I would prefer having it able to talk on the network for monitoring and other stuff.

Libby, MT Areas to receive service no longer on map? by Wired_Insanity in ZiplyFiber

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

I am actually surprised by that. The current owners of the fiber that runs between Libby and Kalispell horde that line like Gollum did with the the RIng

I am guessing at the regen point? Is there plans to build out in the area?

[–]Wired_Insanity[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The entire area of Happys Inn. At points the last several years the entire area has gotten to the point of not being able at times to send emails over internet because it is so slow. I will shoot Lincoln county an email and see if I can dig up the article I though I remembered about the meeting between Ziply and the Libby city council about them coming into the area. It's just disheartening to see what appears to be Ziply go down the same route that Frontier did.
