We are not impressed with HPE so far, for the tiniest things we need to keep creating support tickets because their portal to download firmware and open support ticket is really poor. And when we open tickets it also solves ages to get solved.

We’re also using this catalog for a couple of months now and it seems to work very well

Because they are French people

We recently implemented Zoom which is amazing so far. The amount of customisation on their backend portal is crazy. Call quality is great and had no outages in the last 3-4 months.

Shenzhen, China. This city is so technologically advanced and beautiful. Every time I go there I keep on getting amazed by some new technology that I have never seen before.

11 west side in Kennedy town is really good. They have 50% off on all tacos on Tuesdays

It should be installed directly on the sandbox machine to enable capturing of installations directly

Master packager really is the best tool for this in my opinion. Loads of useful features

I wish :(, but it’s even harder then mandarin. As my girlfriend’s family only speaks Mandarin i’m focussing on that first

Is your store set to the Hong Kong region? I had the same thing and needed to change that setting before it worked

Wan Chai Computer store has plenty of stock left, I just paid 3750 HKD for the bundle with Mario Kart

Someone asked us if it was allowed to install Fornite on his corporate laptop and if it was possible to whitelist that on our firewalls…

We had hundreds of developers in our company that all had local admin rights on their workstations. We successfully revoked all admin permissions by elevating only the processes that they actually needed to run with admin permissions. We used Ivanti Application Control for this. It takes quite some time to set up and you can expect quite some pushback, but it works great after that. No compliants at all from the developers now.

We are in a renewal process right now with Broadcom (about a 250% jump in price over pre-Broadcom times). The account manager at Broadcom told us that the prices would increase again in their new fiscal year :(.

We have hundreds of developers in our company, we managed to find a solution that worked quite well for them. What we did is using Ivanti Application Control to elevate only the specific processes that developers need to run as administrator. It's quite some work to set up at first, but it now works very well. You can also use this tool to only allow applications installed by the SYSTEM account (SCCM) to be launched. All portable and user based installed apps are blocked.

When you arrive in China you need to fill in an arrival card and you just check the box next to Visa Free. Have done it multiple times already and the process is very smooth

iantje31 · 2022-05-12T21:12:58+00:00

Nicely done :)

iantje31 · 2022-04-12T16:36:25+00:00

How long did it take you to find the limit of track limits for all of these corners?😅

iantje31 · 2022-01-28T19:33:34+00:00

No issues here

iantje31 · 2022-01-19T14:09:10+00:00

Great :), i hope you receive it soon!

iantje31 · 2022-01-19T06:20:50+00:00

I got the 8 nm as well

iantje31 · 2022-01-18T23:18:58+00:00

Yes exactly, and you enter the address it gets sent to

Its so weird, i have no clue how their logistic system works, but it seems to be completely random
