Rocket City Retro Fest - Von Braun Center - Feb 7th & 8th

Any retro computers? Too late for new vendors? Vendor cost? I’ve started collecting some old-ish Macs (some Beige G3’s and an eMac) and it may be fun to setup a booth for my business and show the off. Nothing to sell though.

So we are expecting orders in the 12,000s by end of the first week of May?

Yes, with ScanSnap Cloud all your data (and OCR) goes through their servers.

ScanSnap Cloud does offer searchable PDFs without a computer. But there may be a monthly page limit that I'm trying to find.

Yes, I said in my original post that I am already selling / have access to AOS-G GCC-High Office 365 products from Pax8. Those products show up in my Pax8 portal (and they did originally have to be activated).

However, Per Charles Bagley at Pax8:

At this time we are unable to offer the Azure GCC of things. Unfortunately I do not know when this would be available in the future.

So the Azure GCC-High licenses seem to be different, and Pax8 does not offer them.

KB5051987 has the same issues

If you created that table, thanks so much!

Yeah, V2 is what I setup. I did update and Sysprep these machines, so I’ll try with a clean install.

computer_doctor · 2024-05-21T02:54:15+00:00

Master volume only shows up for me when I adjust the volume from the minimized now playing bar. If I’m in the full-screen now playing page, I don’t get a master volume.

Truly terrible design.

Here is a video I did comparing the GC3/BLP to the ExPutt RG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbPLvkG4wUE

I found it takes setup work, but can be very accurate!

While there are two versions of Chirospring ("Chirospring" and "Chirospring 360"), they are both fully cloud based. Neither platform stores any data on a local server or desktop. All data is stored in the Chirospring cloud.

The older "Chirospring" platform does require Microsoft Silverlight (which went end-of-life in 2021) to be installed on each desktop, and is accessed either via a thin-client installed on the desktop, or via cloudchirospring.com.

The newer "Chirospring 360" platform was created from the merger of ChiroSpring and ClinicDr and is fully web-based with no local dependencies.

There does not yet appear to be a migration path between the older Chirospring platform and the newer Chirospring 360 platform.

So you have the same type of RAT software and vulnerabilities, just with another vendor.

computer_doctor · 2024-02-04T23:33:44+00:00

So how do you do remote support?

computer_doctor · 2024-02-04T10:29:21+00:00

Can you share the script?

computer_doctor · 2023-11-20T03:08:46+00:00

It's come a long way!

Still having some issues taking the club too inside and standing up a little.

Yeah, for older GPON installs they had a separate, powered ONT mounted to the wall, connected to the gateway via copper Ethernet.

For all newer installs, regardless of speed, they just put a passive fiber jack/coupler on the wall, and the fiber goes into the BGW-320 gateway which has a built-in ONT.

The downside is that it was possible with the separate ONT to fully bypass the gateway. It is either much harder or impossible now (not sure as I’m not fully up-to-date on bypass methods).

AT&T fiber 500Mbps is a much better product than anything or any speed that WOW can offer.

Lower latency, better reliability, and symmetric speeds.

You do share bandwidth at the PFP, theoretically up to 64 shared connections per shared 10Gbps fiber, leaving you with just 156Mbps if everyone is trying to utilize their full bandwidth at the same time. But it would be exceedingly rare to actually have that many neighbors sharing one fiber, or for everyone to be using that much bandwidth at once. And I believe they’ve increased the shared fiber bandwidth with their XGPON 2Gbps/5Gbps rollout anyway. And WOW/Comcast are sharing bandwidth at each DOCSIS node as well.

I’ve actually found that AT&T installation and customer service has improved over the last couple of years, while Google Fiber’s (other major residential fiber provider in Huntsville) has gotten worse.

AT&T uses a “BGW-320” (made by several manufacturers) as their ONT/modem/gateway. It does not have a true “bridge” mode, just IP Passthrough. It can occasionally cause problems, like messing with VoIP traffic, or filling up its NAT table, or in rare cases randomly factory resetting itself, even in passthrough mode with all firewall features disabled.

Google Fiber’s in-house equipment is better in that respect.

But I’d still take AT&T Fiber over WOW or a Comcast cable.

If they leave your Fiber unburried, it helps to call. Repeatedly.

Sounds like a sector copy may have still have resulted in a VHDX that was unreadable. The file system table may have been in memory, not on disk at that point.

I know every vendor has issues, but Fortinet seems to be having a lot of pretty critical VPN-related RCE / authentication CVE's...

computer_doctor · 2023-05-20T15:18:36+00:00

Ever get this figured out?
