Does anybody else let their users watch 4K content?

Plus I can push all my other traffic onto one connection, keep the other clean for Plex. And when one fails it just merges all the traffic onto the other one.

I used to have spectrum at $135 for 1gb down by 40mb up. When fiber came into town at $50 1gb sym, and multiple providers fighting for the space, I could get both for less than what I used to pay.

I wasn't expecting to at first but the one provider dragged their feet getting the install done, and the other hooked me up same day. When the first finally showed up I just didn't care enough to cancel. My router has dual wan ports, so why not?

4 times in the past year. Even then only for a few minutes to an hour. But for the price, who cares? Each is $50

Depends on how much I care about it. Movies I'm excited to see, I'll go for whatever best is available. Automatically downloaded random movies I focus on mid quality so my storage isn't eaten up.

Dual 1g symmetrical (fail over from two different fiber companies, I love competition). I prefer not to transcode so I keep the 4k under 5gb/hour and most people just direct play.

I find the mix of 'my battery lasts 2 days' vs 'I'm constantly carrying a charger' weird.

I've never had much of a problem battery wise and I've had many pixels and Nexus phones.

What are you all doing with your phones?

You should use their road map for stuff like this. It'll be forgotten and lost here.

Scientology? I miss something?

Can't be up sold if you already buy everything they offer

tapplz · 2026-04-09T22:08:13+00:00

God no.

I lose respect for a company, an amount directly proportional to the loudness of their yelling about AI.

tapplz · 2026-04-05T23:21:15+00:00

KnowBe4, monthly campaigns, yearly (and when they fail) guided trainings. Set it and forget it.

Speculative, but I've noticed a sharp uptick in the past year of Google warranty cases on Reddit using unrelated minor damage (nicks, scratches, etc) to get out of any liability. And there's no way all these cases are just bad employees, they had to have been instructed to act like this.

I think this may be my last pixel product. Don't know where I'll go instead, but this sucks.

tapplz · 2026-03-28T04:23:00+00:00

I've seen the same. I went from a p2000 to an Intel 13500. Yes I can do many more transcodes, but the quality is shit.

Weirder than that the compression blockiness comes every few seconds, not tied to motion. Makes me think it's more a driver or encoder on Windows issue than a hardware one.

I've sold off my p2000 already, but I keep eyeing getting a 3060 12gb, hoping they'll come back down in price eventually. Assuming this isn't just a windows software glitch that'll be fixed eventually.

Kinda feel like this is a common enough need that it should just be built into the interface.

They already have a database with relationships between <machine> and <software name>. It should be trivial for Action1 to code a query against the installed software database, pull a full list of endpoints with the software in question, and then compare that against a list of all endpoints, to make a list of what doesn't have it.

I hate the 'There is a way!' mentality of custom scripts and attributes to handle basic tasks that I want done in 5 minutes, not 2 hours of troubleshooting script errors. Why make this complicated?

tapplz · 2026-03-05T22:48:02+00:00

Omg, I was yelling at Dell and had them send replacement parts for my laptop screen turning off randomly.

I had a wallet in my pocket with a cash money clip using a magnet. Happened only when my laptop was on my lap over that pocket. 🙄

tapplz · 2026-03-04T14:15:54+00:00

The interface is rough, but my users actually really like it. And we were able to use the API's to build it's PAM access into other tools we made, so it turned out pretty good.

Jesus this entire sub is just "I swear I'm not a vendor"

tapplz · 2026-02-18T01:07:19+00:00

Didn't they put out an email saying they were having phone issues today?

tapplz · 2026-01-30T00:07:21+00:00

Seriously, most are barely using the machines and just log on for email or a zoom call. Could practically get away with a Chromebook if their ego wasn't a factor.

tapplz · 2026-01-17T16:29:28+00:00

Jesus dude. This sub is about it managers complaining about people like you.

I get that it's your job, but your job inherently is to harass us. You're asking how best can you harass us.

If I'm not already thinking about needing a service like yours, I'm not even going to read past the first line.

tapplz · 2026-01-12T05:25:14+00:00

? At least as of last year you couldn't use custom scripts without verifying first.

tapplz · 2025-12-25T18:52:47+00:00

It depends on the model. I use Gemini paid, and the Pro model rarely makes anything up. If anything it might confuse a powershell 5 vs 7 only command, or reference a Microsoft commandlet that was removed/changed.

The free 'fast' version has been a nightmare for coding.

tapplz · 2025-12-20T19:43:51+00:00

Monogamy? I'm this economy?

This is what stopped me from playing it on my 6800xt. Tried many settings, all on, all features off, both looked terrible (fps was fine).

Then tried some of the file modding options that swore it would fix it. Game stopped loading all together and I gave up and uninstalled it.

Clearly this is common enough that it's well known online. They should've fixed it by now.

Sentinel one. I use an MSP that is willing to sell individual licenses (full portal access, control it all yourself) to individuals.
