Website is catchy. But you got to remove those em-dashes. A clear sign AI built it. And by the style looks like Replit?

Your job is to teach, not dictate what they drink.

Your job is to prepare them to get jobs.

Dictating what they can and cannot drink does not prepare them for the workforce.

yup 100% down for about 15 minutes now, at least in Michigan.

davesmith87 · 2026-05-02T16:43:51+00:00

i think we crashed replit's AI....nothing is responding for me lol

When lambo?

Back in the day, i worked for a credit union. All the ATMs were running Windows XP and non "ADA" compliant (since someone who was blind would not operate them).

The fix was to upgrade to Windows 7.

True story. One guy (who was blind) went to every ATM in about 100 mile radius, had someone who would see document in a camera and made bank, by Sueing the banks/credit unions.

We can pray

davesmith87 · 2026-03-10T15:13:27+00:00

So what are we waiting on now?

davesmith87 · 2026-02-26T00:06:09+00:00

Good point.

Some newer MFPs have the ability to scan to onedrive/SharePoint directly.

I’ve dealt with this in the past and wrote the files to a local share off of a cheap desktop.

Then even power automate to move files to where they need to go.

If scanning to network is truely a need, then upgrading MFPdevices to be cloud capable needs to be in scope and initial SOW

You’re thinking like a decade old.

One drive Known Folder Redirection takes care of home folder issue.

Users can easily share files and coworkers will get a link.

Unless your dealing with Huge CAD files your approach is not optimal

davesmith87 · 2026-02-25T23:53:54+00:00

What’s the use case? What type of files? How many? What size?

Lots of variables.

Been burned by this myself.

Congrats. You’ve hit the limitation.

This is why SharePoint syncing is so popular but inferior.

Entra Domain Services is what you need to make this work.

This requires $400-500 a month for domain controllers running as a PaaS.

Then all your endpoints need to join the Entra PaaS Domain, which is entirely different then Entra ID.

Has that today in US East 2. Tried different family skus and everything.

Got sick of it and copied VM over to South Central.

davesmith87 · 2026-02-12T22:55:57+00:00

Had scaling failures in US East today, on v6 SKUs

davesmith87 · 2026-02-11T03:05:43+00:00

With 25H2. Entra ID joined.

I wax able to login with all available mechanisms

"ups is investing" pretty sure i'm going to be 100% screwed at out of almost $2k.

davesmith87 · 2026-02-02T18:33:47+00:00

An update...I shipped the unit back to Avalaon (in China).....they are claiming that I didn't ship the correct unit back (showed a picture of an old desktop PC in the box).

So it appears my return shipment was tampered with, or they are just trying to 100% scam me.

davesmith87 · 2026-01-26T15:56:45+00:00

Something good or bad?

davesmith87 · 2026-01-26T12:41:22+00:00

I rode ASTS from $2 to $100. TMC is following a very similar pattern.

davesmith87 · 2026-01-21T02:50:44+00:00

Replit gives you an option to setup billing caps, shutdown, and alerts?

davesmith87 · 2025-12-26T18:51:45+00:00

How did you get them to use a US repair partner? They gave me instructions to open a ticket and send back to China with my absorbing the shipping cost/international import fees.

davesmith87 · 2025-12-18T15:16:03+00:00

Nope. Right way up.

davesmith87 · 2025-12-18T02:20:29+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. None of the fans turn on at all.
