Just logged off the AdaFruit Ask an Engineer. - I don't suppose I should be terribly surprised. I didn't get an answer....
LOL, what were you looking to find out?
Looking for a small (wireless or wifi) device to replace the door and window sensors on an alarm system. Can't find any system that will perform the announcements needed when a door is opened.
A Pi could easily do that. Door sensors are about the simplest type of sensor to work with, and playing sounds is quite simple as well. (say, festival, spd-say, or espeak)
Well, a Pi would be the cross interface - yes. But I can't see having a Pi at each door or window. I believe the better solution is the ESP8266 board. But I'm still researching on that.
the project has:
- 5 doors
- 20 Windows
- Glass break option(?)
- Motion option(?)
Even if you used the Pi0 it would be a bit costly... Biggest problem is the installation on some windows. there are 5 sets of either two or three windows,.. Like to not have to tear up the house installing these.
https://www.adafruit.com/products/2821 looks really nice, yep.

Diagnosing why a Epson T88V won't work
found the issue instead of using the standard printer they used on that has a Ethernet port so the USB was disabled

This one response wasn't written by @scottalanmiller but it could have been:
"Literally never do this. Ever."

Banging my head on the desk while trying to get Windows 10 to connect to our VPN... I've basically concluded that it has to be getting blocked from the customer side.

Driver issues or just Windows 10 issues?

Seems to be windows 10 issues. Using the built in client to connect back to this office, simple PPTP connection, no love. But I know that at least 2 people are working from home today, so the tunnel is working. I think the IT dept at the customer side isn't exactly skilled or qualified to do anything to computers.

I know those feels... working with our government clients and their IT staff makes me feel like I've gotta dumb everything down...

This is one of our guys at the customer site, and he's actually sharp, but their IT has no idea if they have anything in place that would block the connection. And yes, it's a government office...

Just erased our primary SSID passphrase from a whiteboard my wife wrote down. I have my kids on seperated networks with different rules, so they aren't on my network. facepalm
I guess it was good that it didn't say what network it was for!
