I've moved my family to ER-X+UPA-AC-XXX now, forget that consumer grade crud.

ug, can't recall, these do not have an option for auto updating... assuming they don't, not really good for consumers.

WTF? You quoted the part about Ubiquiti. No UniFi or EdgeMax gear has auto updates. It is not for consumers.

Unifi offers it now.

do they care if the local water supply shut down , or the electricity get shut off...

Care? Sure. Responsible for? No.

We can only deal with our own devices and make good decisions about the vendors and approaches that we use.

Which it seems almost no one actually does. The less than 1% IT pros out there who care don't even make a dent.

A dent is not our concern, though. Only our own environments. We don't need to make a dent, that's nice and all, but if we focus on ourselves, that our neighbours get hacked isn't our problem.

@pay56 said in How to Play Wii Games on Ubuntu Linux with Dolphin:

Can I play Wii games and Gamecube games if I install the Dolphin Emulator? Did someone try this with this emulator to play games from these 2 console games? I have found the games that I want to play and now I'm confused is this emulator will support them, I'm new at this so any new advice would be nice.

It's specific purpose is Wii games, so yes, that's the idea. And GC as well.

Is this normal in other VC applications? Clicking off the page will end the call?

Leaving a web page ends the app in that page? Yes, it's 100% universal. Just how web works.

It didn't occur to me until I read your remark that they meant browsing to another url in the same browser tab. When I read it, I thought they meant clicking to another application running on my computer. It all makes more sense now.

Bottom line... using Mitnick in this way, especially adding him to the board... is KnowBe4's way of telling me how they view themselves. It's their warning, in a way. A way of expressing who their target audience is.

Just like 🌶 did with him. They knew that their primary audience wasn't IT pros, but buyers looking for big names and flashy acts on stage rather than technical know how and expertise. That both of them use Mitnick in the same way is very telling.

Woot.

@VoIP_n00b I received an email Friday. So much of his entire rant is not valid as far as I am concerned.

I just updated my Nextcloud this morning, and was able to get it going with the OnlyOffice Document server and both of them on the same system... Just used the Install guide for OnlyOffice Document server here: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/Docker-DocumentServer and some googling for some other errors.

Performance is not bad at all.

Since I switched to DDG, I've noticed Google has gone down hill significantly.

That's why, it's because YOU switched.

No reason to keep it good, I guess, lol.

Smart watch leaders are apple and samsung.

Samsung isn't in the big three. Xiami is number one, Apple number two. Xiami is the largest wearables maker in the world. So big that they don't just make their own processors with their own fab, but they use their own architecture!

And they are sold everywhere but the US (or at least I've never seen that brand at any retail location I've been to)

They are definitely sold in the US. We buy them here (they are cheap and resilient.) I don't see them in stores too often, but like on Amazon and stuff they are just a normal item, not imported specially or anything. They are widely available. I like them for travelers because they are cheaper than average, but work well and have the best battery lives (often 1.5 months on a charge!) So you aren't likely to get it stolen, or have charging issues, and if they break just buy another.

Fun fact - that's the town in Colorado where I live. Guess we'll be getting fewer potholes fixed this winter.

Ha I didn't read the full location because I just assumed it was Erie, PA which is like 2 hours north of me.

Our town motto is "the other Erie" 🙂

The one that isn't Eriesistable.

Includes lastpass from what I saw.

weird to even think about breaking this out... LP is fully a part of LogMeIn's company, I would expect nothing less - unless there was also an announcement of LMI spinning LP back into it's own company or being sold to someone else.

Right, when you buy a company, you get all of it unless otherwise stated.

Is there a reason that you are looking into Awk? Awk is a programming language that used to be popular for extension text processing in conjunction with BASH. But in the last decades, its use has fallen away and that is why you won't find examples of it. It's only used for very basic things now. Languages like Perl and Python supplanted it being easier to use, better known, more portable, and vastly more powerful. Awk is really a legacy tool today.

@warren-stanley said in PDQ Drops Inventory (Deploy) Agent:

@coliver from memory it allowed endpoint status display, along with connection when outside the corporate network for running commands and application management.

It was part of the subscription and didn't require any other additional setup - so was nice in theory.

Ah. Salt and Ansible can do similar things but would require some backend work.

Salt has an agent, right?

Yes, and Ansible can be setup in a Pull configuration so it can act like it has an Agent as well.
