Cant say I am not surprised, it is massive, so the volume they can handle.... O'hare was considered the busiest for a long time. Yeah, Chicago fucked that up years ago when they gave away too many rights to United and American. Thankfully, that contract is finally expiring and a proper modern terminal is going to be built.

'UK faces mobile blackouts if Huawei 5G ban imposed by 2023' BT and Vodafone have said their UK customers would face mobile phone signal blackouts if they are given three years or less to strip Huawei's equipment out of their 5G networks. Executives from the network providers told MPs that they wanted at least five years, and ideally seven, if such an order is made. The government is expected to announce new curbs on the use of the Chinese firm's kit within the next two weeks. Huawei has urged it to take more time. "There isn't a burning bridge," said Huawei's UK vice president Jeremy Thompson, adding that it was too soon to determine what impact new US sanctions would have. The company also denied claims it would ever act against its clients' interests, even if told to do so by the Chinese government.

@black3dynamite Looking forward to it.

@cregox said in I can't even: @Obsolesce curious on the 70% figure... i usually throw up with 80% because of some studies that show how population shifts after 10 to 20% at most start moving into another direction. any reasons for the 70? It's a joke...

FCC “consumer advisory” panel includes ALEC, big foe of municipal broadband A committee that advises the Federal Communications Commission on consumer-related matters now includes a representative of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which lobbies against municipal broadband, net neutrality, and other consumer protection measures.

@Romo That is correct, the red "Agent Tag" is a "meshagent.tag" text file that is in the same folder that the "meshagent.exe". It can contain up to 1k of data sent to the server on each agent start. It's there so if you have some sort of automatic installation of the agent, you can put a serial number of something in that file and it gets sent up to the server. It pre-dates the other blue tagging that is server side only. All this to say, the two tagging systems are completely separate. I can add you a "atag:<agenttag>" filter if you like? Let me know what you need.

@BRRABill it's been a full year since hte last follow up on this thread. How about an update after another year of use?

@ChrisL said in What does your desk look like?: After some careful consideration, I realized I can do like 95% of my work on my iPad through the various social, cloud, and productivity apps. This is my current setup that I'm testing out. Anker Bluetooth keyboard, my iPad Mini, and a cardboard box so that my neck doesn't get tired from looking down. I'll probably upgrade to a refurbished 9.7" Pro at some point, but so far, so good. Is it an ipad if you add a keyboard? Seems like a Surface.

From the OP, I was going to post about the inherent risks of being an entrepreneur, but seems this is not where the thread went...

IT is always the last to know.

Well... plug-in downloaded source, compiled, installed and activated. In "Setting/Plugins" I can see now the "backup-reports" and "transport-email" plugins. I made some simple test with "Backup Jobs" and all seems ok. Thanks guys.

@Dashrender said in Domain Controller Down (VM): perhaps the discussion of HA should always be left at the door unless the OP specifically says something to the effect of - this was supposed to be an HA solution, why is it not - Perhaps. Often someone says something that leads us to believe that there might have been a reason for HA. But this is a case where just nothing suggests it. Not even the lack of panic or concern once things were down. They really seemed to have no care that things were down - which is fine, their design suggests that. In this case, with @wirestyle22 not having been there, he too would have to decide how the system should be viewed. But he needs the information to take back to management "Oh, you thought that this would be HA? THat's odd as it is designed exactly the opposite of that in every way and all of the policies and procedures go against that as well. How were you expecting HA without HA processes, staffing, technology, design or setup? What led you to believe something so contrary would achieve HA?"

Message arrives at 6:32. Real useful warning system. We'll it's not like the city has everyone's email address, and if they did, not like everyone would see or be alerted of the email. The best way is via a phone feature all phones have that can alarm and alert, outside of sms. SMS signals are more likely to be assured than a phone call I'm guessing. As far as I know, the cell company keeps trying for at least a while to get SMS messages through until an unknown timer expires or the mobile confirms receipt. I never mentioned phone calls...
