Was a good film watched it the other day.

Yeah, it was a fun straight to the point action movie.

I've been wanting to check that out. I'm a big fan of Bob Odenkirk.

I know this is more of an HR problem than an IT problem, but my boss is insisting.

Yeah the ball and chain issue.... I've not found anything decent for iOS either. I tend to just keep the battery on the device low or pretend the battery has died and needs charging.

Fixed double quote

Edit

This is for an older iPAD, I know the newer ones have this built in... but you know $

@jaredbusch That looks good!

We are packing LIKE CRAZY. Too much to do to take a load to storage today. But we are loading the van and I'll take it tomorrow. We are down to one car because Paul already sold his, and he has to deal with tons of emergency COVID tests and things (emergency because of travel stuff, not because of having COVID) that require the only vehicle. He leaves Monday morning.

I'll be off to Houston tomorrow with a load for the storage unit. We are in the home stretch now!

We have someone over working in the yard today getting as much as possible ready.

Dominica is busily painting the dining room today.

With the move, will the house be sold?

Yup, hope to have it on the market this week.

@jaredbusch that doesn't SEEM like it could be real....

It is because autocorrect in Outlook has a setting to capitalize automatically.

Oh man.

It is one of my users. I know it was a real email...

Not gonna lie, that made me almost spit coffee all over my screen. It's almost as bad as writing out instructions on how to access/navigate our new Student Info System and still having users ask questions when it is in the doc. RTFM!!!

Now drinking some 12 year old Flor de Caña. Yum. Just straight on the rocks.

@scottalanmiller said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:

Time to start stocking up on games and getting them downloaded and set up so that we have games to play without needing to use all of our bandwidth!

Get better bandwidth

Have to be prepared!

But we are planning on getting local fiber and placing our order for Starlink this week. They are already taking orders for Starlink in the village so we should be good.

They are nearly to the point of nationwide fiber now, so really good access there.

@jaredbusch hahaha, Duo is hard core.

Normally, if you're going this extreme, I would expect to see $5k+

Actually I see a lot of people put just regular systems in fancy cases.

In that case - this case would SUCK! a normal fan on the CPU and GPU would be so loud in a case like this.

/snark Don't you mean that would SUCK and BLOW? /end snark

You forgot squeeze and burn. :)

An entire risk that exists only for closed source.

I hope on of the products is Microsoft Teams so they can fix the glaring functional issues with it...

Is Teams really a product though? I think of it more as a service... I mean I know they have clients for desktop and mobile... but the web version definitely feels more like a service.

I did a 2-day conference over Teams last week. It actually went very well.

It has improved a lot. It's still trails other solutions, but what from MS doesn't. It's at least starting to catch up with the level of behind that most of the rest of the MS ecosystem is.

@DustinB3403 said in Oracle Linux Installation and performance seems insanely bad:

@Obsolesce CentOS as a product is dead, the alternatives are RHEL or CentOS Stream.

CentOS Stream is a totally different thing. Not what people consider alternatives. It is an alternative in the same way that Ubuntu or Windows is.

The real alternatives that are drop in replacements that work exactly the same and cost the same are Oracle Linux, AlamLinux and Rocky Linux.

@scottalanmiller said in IPv6 New Deadline for Adoption:

At this point 2148 feels a little ambitious.

I'm hoping there's quantum communications by then. Thinking IP will be around then still I think is an under-estimation.

Perhaps TCP/QP :D
