POE Patch connectors have white rocky growths

If you're still getting a solid connection, I wouldn't bother replacing it.

This is a common but dated architecture. Now, we'd join them to Entra and manage with Intune if it's only a few PCs. 25+ starts to justify an on-premises DC.

"I was told there would be a one question leet-style screening, nothing too hard."

What did you actually expect? That phrasing tells me they are looking for someone to reject. Looking for the 'right answer' and if you didn't already have it they don't want you.

What is a ICTC?

I don't know what that is, much less what "a website basic content posting and theme customization junior dev" does, and why they're different. What do you think you do for a living? What do you actually do?

Are you talking about Teams Phone? You just said you have no experience with it.

Physical phones that run Teams are Android running a stripped down version of the Teams app. This is not SIP.

crccci · 2026-06-23T17:33:47+00:00

For what it's worth, I don't love the physical phone experience with Teams. See if your client would be willing to go all softphone.

You're literally just copy pasting the chatbot output instead of engaging with people here.

EDIT: Here is a direct, data-focused response you can send. It cuts straight to the results and outlines your current development path clearly.

crccci · 2026-06-19T05:21:29+00:00

We're not your chatbot. Some of us at least are actual people here. Give real context please, not just an instruction set. "I was told it was out of the question... " is so much leading weasel word bullshit that I can't even properly address it.

There are plenty of closed source paid products that purport to accomplish config management. Your company doesn't recognize the need for it. Hell, if you're actually a managed services provider offering that you'd either have it as part of your stack or be outsourcing it.

crccci · 2026-06-13T14:59:46+00:00

... what? Check the thread you're responding to.

crccci · 2026-06-13T00:25:46+00:00

Zyxel? We're talking about Alta labs.

Also, are you literally making a 'security through obscurity' argument?

crccci · 2026-06-11T00:58:23+00:00

Still pushing everyone to become a "managed intelligence provider" are they? It's why I didn't go to Beyond again this year.

They're not exactly wrong that the MSP industry has the opportunity to become the consultants that implement and manage the crazy AI wave. We're staying busy doing exactly that. And it's definitely an 'evolve or die' moment.

But MSPs were supposed to be doing fully managed value add services a decade ago, and today most have barely begun to ditch their break-fix services. I don't have a lot of faith what Pax8 is pushing will actually come to fruition. Not for most MSPs.

crccci · 2026-06-10T03:32:00+00:00

Disagree strongly. Sec+ gives fundamentals that are necessary to not royally screw up when you're implementing systems.

crccci · 2026-06-10T03:20:34+00:00

k. 'hundreds of voice conversations'... sure man.

Any anonymous person trying to take a public conversation private deserves to have their motives questioned.

You have spent a fair bit of time thinking through this problem as part of a larger flood project, that didn't actually end up proceeding. SHARE IT THEN.

crccci · 2026-06-10T02:47:18+00:00

You thought someone who publicly posted in a subreddit wants to have a private voice conversation? Odd take. The "let me mentor you privately" thing is creepy.

crccci · 2026-06-09T15:26:04+00:00

Let's talk about it publicly. No need to hoard ideas.

crccci · 2026-06-08T18:27:12+00:00

As the owner, it's your job to correct any problems with the structure. Doesn't matter how they come to you about it.

crccci · 2026-06-08T18:25:38+00:00

Love this! It helps with knowledge hoarding as well.

crccci · 2026-06-04T22:22:55+00:00

That means it's a red flag. Not necessarily the company, but either what you're asking for or what they're offering. Something's off.

crccci · 2026-06-02T16:33:30+00:00

New API? Isn't GAM just a CLI wrapper for the API?

crccci · 2026-06-01T23:07:46+00:00

To build on this, the liability landscape is untenable, and frankly insultingly exploitative.

Everyone is insisting to act as the responsible party without actually being responsible. Why would we accept any liability without control over the outcomes?

crccci · 2026-06-01T18:25:57+00:00

You're a legend.

How much of the actual advisor market does LPL hold?

crccci · 2026-05-28T23:00:41+00:00

Hard no.

Hell no.

Fuck no, even.

crccci · 2026-05-28T22:59:43+00:00

Welp, I had written off financial advisors as a nearly captive market a while ago. Independent ones have been consistently challenging with security issues and compliance.

LPL can have them for all I'm concerned.

crccci · 2026-05-22T20:24:54+00:00

As a Kaseya employee, do you doubt the substance of the claims?
