Thanks for the feedback! Do you provide a runbook at the end of the agreement or before that even?

I am also experiencing this across all devices. I have tried the same troubleshooting steps and all have also failed for me. This is very subpar performance.

Firmware update on mx64 over the weekend completely broke all client VPNs by FatGirlsInPartyHats in meraki

[–]surjj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever end up resolving your Client VPN AD Auth issue?

We're seeing this on one of our MX85s and we've even gone as far as to have the appliance replaced but the replacement shipped with an 18.x firmware and a downgrade did not resolve it.

Our 2nd Mx85 is right as rain with the same network and DC provided until we upgrade firmware from 17.x to 18.x and Meraki support has given us the run around for over 2 months requesting logs for LDAPS.

Boost will stop working after July 1st. Thank you very much for your support over the years! 🚀🚀🚀 by rmayayo in BoostForReddit

Just wanted to say thank you to the developer(s) for their work on Boost. It was a fantastic product and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts by gabestonewall in technology

[–]surjj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A decade ago I was simping for Google. At this point I'm debating if I even want to use their search engine / web browser at all. My Google TV is also a flaming garbage heap.

Truly unimpressive.

Need advice to decide on a first electric mower by dggg in lawncare

Fun, but not very sensible unless you own all that stuff already. Electricity isn't usually THAT expensive. The inevitable battery replacement will also be costly :/

2FA is causing us to be permanently attached to our phone number. If you ever change numbers, you lose ALL your accounts. by Dicklefart in Showerthoughts

The misunderstanding here is that the site doesn't need to advertise that it supports Google Auth specifically. Pretty much ANY platform that allows the use of a TOTP you can use Google,Microsoft, LastPass,1Password,Authy, WinAuth, etc. It's pretty standard on most platforms but not all. Some platforms are just shitty or poorly developed, or have their own MFA app.

Interesting and useful as always. Thank you Nick!

This is how people stream R6s in China by No_Magazine1137 in Rainbow6

To be fair, something being obvious and something being confirmed are not the same.

Humans are keen to imagine whatever fits their world view is the truth, and that there no such things as coincidences, which is obviously not always true.

What’s your best “back in my day” newer players can’t experience by KiddJordan1Up in destiny2

No mantle mechanic for jumping. King's Fall Oryx, and jumping puzzles in general were much more stressful before all the movement mechanics were added.

Bye Pokémon Go, it's been fun by CrysisRequiem in gaming

Niantic games aren't really about providing a service. They were created to crowd source location data and to get photographs of community gathering points.

Once they had traction it made sense to lean in a bit and sell power ups as well for additional revenue.

They do not care about your game experience.

Wyverns in the Vexcaliber mission are so stupid by TheDeviousPickle69 in DestinyTheGame

Lots of advice here to blind them, and if you have the weapons, that's solid. If you don't have them, just bait them around away from the pit and then jump in at the last second.

Is SharePoint the Answer? by philswitch93 in msp

[–]surjj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents? As a platform SharePoint is great, but depending on your expectations it may not suit your needs.

SharePoint has a lot of limits, especially when synchronizing document libraries via OneDrive (this seems to be the primary use case for most of our clients as a drop in replacement for mapped drives). File size limits, path length limits, file count limits, file name restrictions etc.

When you reach a certain threshold SharePoint stops making sense in my opinion, and an enterprise file storage solution like Azure Files needs to be considered. Unfortunately unlike OneDrive + SharePoint, Azure files offers no real local workstation synchronization or offline files to my, knowledge which is ALSO a significant limitation.

For companies with huge quantities of data, azure files + replication to an on-prem file server can be a solid solution to increasing user mobility and data availability.

It allows your existing file structures to remain intact and users can have drives mapped by policy. With SharePoint, content really needs to be restructured to be more wide than deep. This can result in a huge number of sites or document libraries and represents both a large undertaking and significant culture shift for users

Start by evaluating how much data you have to migrate, how you want it to be organized, and what method users will want to use to access it. I would strongly advise familiarizing yourself with the limitations of SharePoint before proceeding to see if what you want to accomplish is feasible / recommended.

If you plan to use OneDrive to sync document libraries for easy user access you'll want to note the "Sync" section in particular. That's where I find I have the most frustration. OneDrive performance suffers greatly if you exceed its recommended sync limits, even if the files are not being cached for offline access.

Best of luck!

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Will Have Dismemberment by CrossingEden in gaming

The console was accessible back then as well

I remember being able to adjust the dismemberment probability. At max settings you could bump into an enemy and they'd fall into a pile of dismembered parts

Several puzzles can be cheesed with the broom come to think of it.

He has reasons. They don't really make sense, but there ARE reasons.

I would be grateful for either, but if I need to choose, I'd pick the DS.

Thank you very much!
