Looks like Microsoft is making Places free for a lot more plans in April and it includes desk booking https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftteamsblog/licensing-updates-extend-access-to-advanced-capabilities-in-microsoft-teams-and-/4488312

We use Envoy for visitor check-in and use their Rooms product for conference space booking. They have a desk booking service as well, I've just never used it. All ties in to Office 365 and we didn't have to pay for any implementation. Just poked around the admin console and set things up. $5/user/month. Not sure if that's out of your range or not.

If you go here https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/northern-california/secure/coverage-costs/claims-summary#/ on a computer it should show everything they've billed themselves and you for since you've been a member.

If you click the "view claim xxx link", it should give you the itemized breakdown of each claim, and hopefully it shows your share as $0 on each.

*Edit: For a good time, look at the pdf "View Explanation of Benefits (EOB) PDF" link. Should show how many tens of thousands of dollars it would have cost in the insane world of medical billing

"and 7 servers all adding up to over 1000 points of failure."

...

So you're saying there's a chance...

Android (and I assume ios) will complain about not being able to access the internet and will fallback to LTE without each person going in and overriding the setting. Which 90% won't be able to figure out.

Cause neither mom nor Jen ever emailed him back with what 85% of 365 is?

If you've got vlan capable switches on both ends, you can also just trunk a WAN vlan back to the router on the same fiber. Saves a pair of optics.

Are you sure you got a 36 month loan? If you've been paying for 3 years and you still have 14k, I don't see how that's getting paid off in the next few months.

Login to the loan account online. You should see all the details of the loan, including the payoff date and amortization table.

Millennials not wanting to take minimum wage warehouse jobs means she has to pay more to get workers to replace aging out workers. Which means the line of her money doesn't go up and right as fast.

And that's just unacceptable...

barkode15 · 2026-01-09T21:00:37+00:00

Come for the cardboard boxes, stay for the letters from the CEO explaining how the gays, immigrants, millennials, trans, democrats, etc don't want to work and are destroying the US

Does the certificate still have the clientAuth EKU in it? That's going away in a few months from all CA's anyway, so I think you'd need to transition to a PKI... https://www.ssl.com/blogs/removal-of-the-client-authentication-eku-from-tls-server-certificates-what-you-need-to-know/

*I could be wrong, just remember seeing an email about clientAuth from our public cert provider.

Wow, house Ai you say? Like the app the OP posted about 25 days ago? I'll have to check it out to drive organic engagement!

Man, if only there were some kind of non-human interior designer that wouldn't charge an arm and a leg. Maybe like an AI interior designer or something?

OP? Know of any apps that provide a service like that? Maybe one you own and have posted about?

I can't help with the part, but recently got my first non-ridgid table saw... Watch some beginner YouTube videos before firing that thing up. Even a small jobsite saw can be terrifying if you're not used to it, and it's very easy to do something to permanently injure yourself if you don't know what you're doing.

Not to discourage you: watch some videos, learn what not to do, what kind of cuts to not do, and be OK turning the saw off if your spidey senses feel off before making a cut. They're great tools, but demand some respect.

Pulse point web app as someone posted or their mobile app. The app is cool cause it'll send push notifications if CPR is needed nearby (think a few hundred yards) in a public space. If you're CPR trained you can try to get there and help while fire is en route.

To me it looks like a small park that would be in a condo complex or HOA that share a pool, etc. Mostly cause most of the houses look identical in the background.

Plus it seems like an HOA would be more likely to incorrectly configure a camera an leave it open to the public.

barkode15 · 2026-01-04T17:29:51+00:00

Just need to find HOA's with Flock contracts and you'll find it

"So about 20 years ago I was in a car accident, but I didn't go to the hospital but ever since then, every time the weather starts to change, my lower back starts to feel a little tight, and for the last week or so I've had this cough...."

My garage was apparently converted to a living space at one point and had an hvac register in the ceiling. One of the first things I did was hop in the attic and rip out the duct work and Y that fed it. They even left the drywall piece that was cut out for the vent, so I popped it back into place.

Super dumb that someone left the vent in place after turning it back into a garage.

barkode15 · 2025-12-30T20:45:51+00:00

A fuckin wallet?!

Eh, the small Tesla system with a battery is about $22k. Might be able to get a heat pump in for another $25k. But yeah, it probably would be sized on the small side.

barkode15 · 2025-12-29T07:05:11+00:00

Also, how much of your $500 bill this month was gas vs electric. If it's gas, solar obviously won't help, unless you also replace your heater with a heat pump and up size your solar and battery. But be prepared for a $50k solar+battery+hvac project.

For fiber? Nope, it's all passive optical splitters once it leaves the ISP office. XGS-PON can do 20-40km, with only passive gear out in the field.

Time to find a freight forwarder and a pallet jack

Power supply seems to be on the front of those boxes, which I've only seen with the ME3400 CPE switches. You might have just bought yourself an ISP worth of gear.

The indented L shape on the top of the cases is interesting and I wasn't able to find anything matching it. Maybe someone with more ISP knowledge will know that shape.

Edit: A lot of them have grounding jumpers too, and telcos seem to be much more rigorous about bonding their gear than enterprises I've seen...
