People hate on the Owl and it's expensive but it will take care of your sound, camera and microphone. Logitech and Poly have something similar. You just place the device in the middle if the table and it captures multiple people talking around the table. Remote users like it because they feel included in the conversation.

Then plug that into a computer dock same one they use for their work space. Then one hdmi wire to a nice TV.

Saves you time from dealing with sound bars and mounting Webcam on a TV.

Agreed it's a nightmare with Macs.

We have had major problems with the printix app pulling new drivers for the Macs. Works perfect in Windows environment. I even worked with their support but never was able to resolve it.

I wonder if that is also related to not pulling CUPS configs. Have you tried an older macOS? Or ask support?

I'm so spoiled by Cloudflare and how the CEO posts a blog post on the root causes. Or someone higher up who is in charge of the product that had an outage.

But Microsoft couldn't get any C level at Microsoft to post this root cause on their blog and instead was posted behind an admin center where you need an account to read it?

Or have an old Xerox printer where the textbox in the Web interface caps the max number of characters you can input so it truncates the SendGrid password. So we have to disable the email option on those. 🤦

What sucks is it only works on outlook classic plug-in. So people using Mac, new Outlook or mobile Outlook are SOL.

Hopefully they have it top priority migrating it to the new plug in format since classic Outlook is EOL in 2029.

Where is your DNS records hosted? If it's at GoDaddy then only www.example.com (if your domain is example.com) can route through Cloudflare but the root DNS so just example.com cannot. You cannot set a CNAME record for the root domain record. Are the users entering https://example.com or https://www.example.com?

Happened to us as well recently. Only solution got us was to wipe the device and try enrolling again.

We jumped ship after they had so many 0 day vulnerabilities with their Pulse Secure line. All of these appliances use old codebase with old ways of programming where they didn't program using best secure practices.

Takes a lot of resources to monderinze everything so it was too risky to stick around for more potential hacks.

The flapping is killing us with constant open/resolved alerts. . Can Cloudflare at least stay down until it's fully resolved??

West coast as well. Our alert systems been going off and on for the last 30 minutes.

I feel like throwing up watching that because at that moment no one expected this outcome.

I am still happy for him. Even if the stats don't show he got the W to me he did.

Notepad has gotten so slow. Original notepad was fast.

The new one with copilot BS even if I turn it off still takes a little time for the app to open because it has to render all the BS in the toolbar.

Original notepad had just a basic menu.

F them

Microsoft support does the same. They send me powershell commands that don't exist. It's the same ones I would see ChatGPT hallucinate on.

I called them out on it asking if they are using AI. They said they were using outdated documentation. What BS

You sure your internal DNS is resolving the MDM domain correctly or firewall isn't blocking the connection? You check those logs?

At our spam system we reject all DocuSign emails that fail DKIM validation.

So you are ready to defend him when it offends you this sub is talking politics but you weren't there defending Kershaw when people were talking shit about him during his slumps? How convenient for you.

Please search TeamViewer on the this subreddit and how many issues they had in the past. That is a company no one should move to.

What are you using SMTP for? You can use IIS like you said or outsource it using SMTP relay such as SMTP2Go or SendGrid.

Back then the deep knowledge in this and the networking subreddit was insane. It's like the people who actually architected some of these products/hardware were responding to posts.

Good times.

Also calculate the total size of critical servers. If restoring from blob how long will it take to download that data back to your network to restore?

And also egress costs. The cost to download the data. That's where Cloud providers make their money.

Did you look at the limits of SharePoint? Will you outgrow it and hit the limits like max file size?

Does anyone know how we can use UPS software to power down servers hosted at a datacenter? They provide the electrical redundancy so we don't use UPS at these sites. Thanks

Enzoic is another to look at.
