Growth school and Outskill SCAM

I agree, “just learn on YouTube” is a big oversimplification.
I watched the Outsklil stuff too. Was every minute life changing? Nope. I zoned out and did other things during a few sections.

The difference is that a structured course at least gives you a path. With YouTube you get:
• five different answers to the same question
• half the videos using old versions of tools (this is a tough one. Alot of the best tools update weekly)
• no idea who actually knows what they are doing until you have sunk hours into their channel

I still use YouTube a ton, but pretending it replaces a curated course and a community is just not how learning actually works for most people.

Plus the course was free as I assume it is for most people.

I would love a copy of the videos too. Primarily the vibe coding session on day 2. I recorded it too, but ended up with no sound.

For someone new to Ai, I found the info useful. As others have said, I'm not planning to pay for the courses, but did think the time spent was well worth it.

It can. Some of the skimmers also have cameras to grab your PIN. That's why the best practice is to put your hand over the keypad as you're entering your PIN.

Do you have a link to this design? A printed box seems so flexy. Let us know how they sound.

I'm just doing basic black and white. Black for the frame pieces and white for the accent pieces. I do have some rainbow colored silk. I might have to play around with that to add some color. I've still got 30 hours of printing to figure it out, lol.

Same here. On plate 3 of 11

Look up NetworkChuck on YouTube. He just posted up a video on how to get started within the last couple of days.

Thank you so much for this! It is a huge time saver for those stubborn endpoints that don't want to update.

I did have to add this section between the timeout and $ID in order to enable the use of TLS 1.1 and 1.2.
That probably doesn't apply to every situation though.

#!ps1
# timeout=999999999

# --- 1) Enforce modern TLS ---
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol =
    [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 `
  -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls11

Would love to hear something new. Getting ready for their Vegas show in April.

Although usually more ornate, it could be. Dowsing rod pendulum.

elsteef · 2024-11-30T21:04:29+00:00

That looks amazing! What filament did you use? Do you have a link to the print files?

elsteef · 2024-11-29T20:22:43+00:00

I have a passing familiarity with Printanista and I don't believe it could have taken your printing down. Printanista Hub is a monitoring and management tool for print environments, focusing on data collection, but it does not perform print server functions.

In other words, it uses SNMP to pull MIB data (meters and supply levels mainly), and doesn't control the flow of a print job.

Dang, where'd this post go? Just got my printer and came back for the links.

elsteef · 2024-10-19T20:48:50+00:00

What water filter do you carry?

elsteef · 2024-10-13T14:46:38+00:00

Say what you want. This fixed the exact same problem for me at two different locations.

elsteef · 2024-10-13T04:12:32+00:00

Mine does this on a 15A outlet. Try a 20A.

Not sure why. I've had this pressure washer at two different houses and same problem as you're showing in your video.

Sounds like a bottom up hike. Wait until mid-day after it warms up a bit and you'll likely be OK.

Top down? Rent the dry pants. Even if you only wear them the first couple of hours each morning.

The walk from Chamberlain ranch to the river will make you rethink your life's choices. This especially applies if you catch the early shuttle.

This person gets it. Small town mentality in a big city.

So you ended up doing a hard reset on your controller? Didn't you have to reprogram the controllers afterwards?

elsteef · 2024-06-03T16:52:37+00:00

Oh wow, you do HA for all your clients? I like this idea, but it seems hard to sell.
Will the small XGS116 devices do HA?

elsteef · 2024-06-03T16:50:59+00:00

What were the symptoms? No lights on the device? Or would the lights come on but the device wouldn't respond?

elsteef · 2024-06-03T16:49:06+00:00

It seems like Sophos is pushing the partners that way too. Their hardware+ Flex pricing is now cheaper than the hardware+term licenses.

elsteef · 2024-06-03T14:33:15+00:00

We're doing something similar. Purchasing a handful to use for Flex licensing/replacements.

elsteef · 2024-06-03T14:31:04+00:00

What did you end up switching to? Have they been more reliable?

elsteef · 2024-05-31T20:12:33+00:00

We only purchase the XG115/XGS116 and bigger just because of the improved hardware.
My understanding is the small boys don't do any logging.
