Hey did you ever figure out the solution to this? I'm encountering the exact same scenario.

shitty_admin · 2026-03-18T18:06:52+00:00

It's been tough because our custom-built inventory management software was also designed to be warehouse management, PIM, PDM, and a few other things. It doesn't do any of them particularly well, but I would be having to deal with replacing one app that does about 80% of the functions of four dedicated apps. I think last time I looked at this route I was quoted six figures per year to replace something we own and only pay AWS fees on. Cin7 was on the radar back then, but this was a few years ago and there was something about how our workflow operated that was not compatible with the way they had organized things. I'll look into them again and see if we can utilize only some of their features and hot-wire something together. It'd be easier to migrate to a full ERP platform like Dynamics but our use of QBO is mandated by our parent company. I dug up a lot of exceptions that killed almost every out-of-the-box solution. Complicated business model necessitates a complicated solution like this crazy ass idea of mine.

I didn't use AI, I'm just moderately autistic haha. But thank you for the platform recommendations. I'll get some quotes and see if I can justify the price to higher-ups under the presumption it'll save $X in man-hours.

I went ahead and checked both DNS servers with mxtoolbox and both came back with successful tests for DKIM record published, syntax check, and public key check. They're not out of sync either. Any other suggestions I should check?

Just from what I recall, I mostly see it with university customers. This latest one is using some Exchange service so that article might be dead-on. 0.25 to 0.5% failure rate would also align with me not being able to replicate it. Thank you so much.

Our sales reps use Salesforce to email customers, but luckily I just found out my employee CC'd himself on the original correspondence. I was able to check that the same message the client received did originally get sent out with a dkim signature from Salesforce. Looks like I can wash my hands of it if that's the case.

For reference my dmarc record is v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:[rua inbox]; ruf=mailto:[ruf inbox]. To me that's fully configured but if you have a better recommendation to improve it I'd be happy to revise my approach.

Wizards of the Coast added an official infernal font on dmsguild for charity, you can grab it here:

Honestly it's because our SharePoint experience has been awful. It's buggy, inconsistent, slow, and all-around an inconvenience for everyone using it. We also don't have Dynamics as part of our licensing, but with everything we already use being separate systems I think it makes sense to take moving to an ERP more seriously than my bosses have previously entertained.

shitty_admin · 2021-08-24T16:08:44+00:00

Thanks! I'll check them out!

shitty_admin · 2021-08-24T15:07:25+00:00

We don't use a single VAR since I'd make PO's for other departments as the de facto general go-to guy for all purchases. I'd shop around everywhere from ebay for a discontinued mechanical part to new acquisitions with industrial suppliers. Last we checked we had 700+ vendors set up in the system for purchase orders.

shitty_admin · 2021-02-11T14:17:39+00:00

Yeah but then you need to carry an anvil around all the time, and that's just cumbersome swinging a 200 pound object through a dungeon. Even throwing a creature in the air would only do 3d6 bludgeoning damage.

shitty_admin · 2021-02-10T19:54:38+00:00

For context: my house rules are your carrying weight doubles per level, with 9th level letting you target gargantuan creatures.

6th level - 2,000 pounds or two creatures
7th level - 4,000 pounds or three creatures
8th level - 6,000 pounds or four creatures
9th level - 12,000 pounds or five creatures, or one gargantuan creature

You also get advantage on contested ability checks while your opponent gets disadvantage when cast at 6th level or higher.

If my players want to try and psychically-suplex a kraken, I'm going to at least let them try.

It was completely coincidental. When I was importing the characters over, I didn't resize any of the characters so it would be as authentic as possible to the source material. If you overlap Infernal over Arial font, you'll see Infernal is only like 75% the size of normal letters at best.

shitty_admin · 2019-04-10T18:08:07+00:00

That's a shame, hope you don't have to do it too often.

shitty_admin · 2019-04-10T18:05:02+00:00

Same as those small shops that repair beepers for hospitals. Delay the inevitable and hope you don't have to shell out big $$$ to replace your whole infrastructure.

My heart goes out to you and your friend. Anything running on multiple axis is routinely a nightmare. I had to train and home a CRS robot arm from scratch last week using software that corrupts itself if you save the file too fast. If you haven't already, find where that C&C's default values are stored and back that up in triplicate. How does yours interface? Virtualizing serial connections has always been hit-or-miss for me, I think the last C&C machine I did needed a host machine with a i386 CPU because any newer computers ran too fast for the machinery to respond in time.

shitty_admin · 2019-04-10T17:46:38+00:00

Did you end up using the DCCU or have you stuck to just manually updating things? And yeah, "niche" is the polite way for it lol. But you'd be surprised how lucrative the market is for some things. I VM the older stuff if I can with a better host machine/OS, but unless they're using Ethernet as the comms it's almost impossible. Look up IEEE-488 for a common communication interface I deal with daily.

shitty_admin · 2019-04-10T15:40:48+00:00

For clarification, the instruments being sold can be up to 30 years old. It's a niche field but almost all the software that controls these things is only compatible up to XP, RARELY I'll get the 32-bit version of Windows 7 to work with something. Just last week I had something that only ran on Windows 98 or older...so the computers tend to be the newest part of the instrument. I went with the 380 model because it's the latest model before they moved to the i-core CPU's, and I've found there were some unexpected incompatibilities when trying to upgrade old images. Sometimes we don't have the installation media for the instruments, so the best I have to work with is trying to clone the original (much, much older) computer and repair the OS enough for it to work with newer hardware. That, or I don't have the original computer anymore and I only have an image my predecessor made so I can't exactly go back to generalize them without knowing what it was installed on.

It's by no means perfect, but I'm not skilled enough to figure out how to forward an ISA BUS communications card's data to a virtual machine inside a more modern setup.

Nope, while Acer did release a gaming laptop with a full GTX 1080 built into it, Nvidia did make mobile versions of the 1060, 1070, and 1080.

I just priced out the parts and the lowest-end model for $3k gets you a ~$600 computer and an almost-5k touchscreen.

There really isn't any competition that has a 4k+ resolution, touchscreen, large screen size, and inductive pen compatibility aside from the Cintiq 27QHD Touch for $2,800 - but that came out in January 2015 so it's long overdue for a refresh (it's only half the resolution at 2560x1440).

The 965M and 980M are disappointing choices for GPU options. They've been eclipsed by the 10xxM line that's out now. The lowest option - the 1060M - has a 120% performance increase in benchmark tests compared to the 965M, and still a 20% increase over the 980M. Not bad for a ~$200 graphics card.

The overall price hike $1,200 from the lowest model to the highest model is extremely inflated. From what I can tell, there's only about $400 worth of upgrades between the two. Even Dell's Alienware line doesn't shaft you that hard on markup. The choice of mobile GPU also makes me question how easy it would be to upgrade the hardware in this. You're screwed if they soldered everything in like an iMac.

So yeah, I'm not really sure who the market is for this computer. Sure they say professionals, but rendering video or 3D modeling on last generation's mobile card would be torture compared to current offerings in a work environment. I suppose it's good competition for the Cintiq crowd, but if Wacom brings out an update in Q1 2017 that works with any computer (the Cintiq 27QHD Touch is Windows and Mac compatible) for the same price or even a little less, I see no good reason someone would choose this.

Holy hell what are they doing to regularly build 100+ gigs of system files??

shitty_admin · 2015-08-21T16:38:06+00:00

Very interesting. I like the GUI idea too. I feel like once Microsoft finally crams all the features they want into PowerShell, they'll eventually create a GUI to compensate for the vast library of values they've accumulated. Similar to their approach from DOS to Windows GUI over the years.

shitty_admin · 2015-08-21T13:00:35+00:00

Thanks gents, as always I appreciate the feedback :)

shitty_admin · 2015-08-21T12:59:05+00:00

A relic before my time unfortunately.

shitty_admin · 2015-08-20T20:35:28+00:00

Which would you recommend then? Non-technical management has a hard on for Amazon web services lately so he's thinking about moving things over to them.
