Haven't bought anything on the lists yet. Well, that's not entirely true; I did buy the UM790 for my home lab Tiny but mighty.

I'm moving from esxi to proxmox, and I've been playing with different setups. I've been somewhat isolated in a small business of late, so I'd like some outside perspective on the best way to proceed. Servers - Integrated storage, Threadripper for each of the two servers. ZFS SSD striped...

Welp, pack it in folks, game's been beat:

Not quite the same thing, but you might zero the free space if you plan on taking an image of the drive, or transfering an image to a new host. I wouldn't even bother zeroing the drive for security purposes; it gets the hammer once pulled from production.

Nah, and it's weird you can't reach anyone. I don't know that I've ever had an issue getting through to support.

That hasn't been my experience; you select the drive you want to keep backed up and off it goes. It has an exclusion list you can modify ( folders and file extensions ), but otherwise it takes care of business in the background. Regardless, in the years I've been using it ( on my system and...

I will say that a rear finger print sensor is perfectly placed; any phone without that will be a hard pass until I'm forced to upgrade.

Hey folks, one thing I've never done is setup proximity authentication in windows; I'm thinking about the local hospitals where the provider comes in and taps their emp badge to a reader and the system auto-logs them in ( and grabs their remote desktop session ). Anyone here have any...

Every new version of a software package gives me this feeling, although ya; windows is probably the worst. Every damn version since 2k is a regression in UIX. What took 1 click now takes 2 ( or 3 or 4 ). We liked control panels so much, now there's two. More than a few different application...

Ya, I think it's regional. I've never had consistent issues like that. Oh, here and there sure, but they get it fixed relatively quickly.

I've had comcast since 2005, I've been a happy customer. Just upgraded to 800/20 for 40 bucks a month, which is slightly insane to me ( despite my profession I'm a light internet user so I usually get the basement tier ).

It's cheap and you can do past "version" restores ( so if I wanted to restore a file from last week...before I screwed it up...you can do it ), especially handy when talking about ransomware. Essentially you tell it what drive you want it to backup and it handles the rest. There are some...

"Modify" in the ability to add/remove programs, so you do. There's the new w10 "Apps" way, and the old "Uninstall a program" applet way. The "Apps" way has been hit or miss for me, while the old "Uninstall a program" method works. ie: two different ways to modify programs, which work...

...and that's a good thing? That's a great argument against windows 10 in my mind. There aren't any modifications to the OS which would cause that ( at least from me, might be from the vendor ). You missed the part, however, where there are two different ways to modify programs, which...

1) OneDrive; I'll try that, but it begs the question why do you need to edit the registry to stop a program from running ( instead of being able to remove it? ) 2) Oh, it shows up in the w10 features panel, but it throws an error when I try to remove it ( can't find the uninstaller ). Works...

This hasn't been my experience at all. W10 is far harder to maintain, particularly in a larger network environment, than it's predecessors. Try uninstalling OneDrive, for instance. Or uninstalling the trial version of office that a recent update pushed out ( overriding the already installed...

The variable here is the wifi device isolation some routers have. It shouldn't allow any traffic to flow between wifi connected devices, including ARP.

I'd guess the wifi router is screwing up. I'd do a firmware update. If the problem still presents then factory reset it, then reattach each device sequentially ( with the firestick being last ), see what happens. If it does it again, same procedure, but this time hook up the firestick first...

Obviously not. Bots have gotten pretty good at passing the Turing test after all.

I can say that, bar none, the most I've ever been afraid while playing a game was Doom2, the Cyberdemon. Remember, this was back in the days before the internet for most people, so running around a level and suddenly hearing those stomps...well, you had no idea what that was, but you knew that...

IP and mac replacement identifiers for a start. I don't really know of anything else you might need to be paranoid about. Unless you're doing something really odd with your topology, there won't be any surprises. The problem is with the encapsulated application data; with luck it's...

All true, but really; securing the PBX isn't rocket surgery. While throwing open SIP to the internet is generally a "Bad Idea(tm)", you can do things to secure it. If you know approximately what IPs to expect the traffic from you can use that to drop SIP packets from everywhere else. If folks...

Eh, security isn't horrible beyond the basics. As long as you aren't throwing your pbx out there on the internet directly, you're careful about where your sip traffic comes from, and you don't do anything crazy with your dial plan, you should be fine.

I concur with bman212121 , for one line an outside service is probably easiest. That said, if this is something you want to do regardless, I'd load up a plain ol' asterisk box. It's a fun project, and it really gives you a ground level view of voip ( AND you can do anything with it once you...

One issue I had: Messenger was running slow. Slow to open, slow to open individual conversations ( sometimes as little as 5 seconds, sometimes as much as 30 ). Cleared the data and cache on the app, re-setup Messenger, rebooted and it's been working fine ever since. I did do the transfer...

For what it's worth, I'm switching to mintmobile. For 2 phones it's about half the cost of tmobile ( 60/month ) for unlimited data. Same infrastructure. The only downside I can find is that you have to prepay a year in advance to get the good price ( so for the two of us it'll be 720/yr )...

Sorry to hear about the connectivity issues. T-mobile was dead simple. Just swapped the sim, done.

Initial impression: The 5 is a worthy successor to the 3. I've gotten 5g more often than I expected. Haven't had it long enough to comment about battery life. The screen is a nice bump up from the 3, with a weird side effect of the text being bigger. Haven't used the camera a whole lot yet...

It's happening! The screwed up part of this is that I won't have a chance to work with the phone until later on tonight :(

Putting aside the nature of your SQL for a moment, this is my old mysql pattern ( which should be replaced with prepares and such... ) $c = mysqli_connect( 'localhost', 'user', 'password', 'db' ); if( !$c ) throw new Exception( 'mysql connect failed' ); $q1 = sprintf( 'SELECT * FROM `table1`...
