      Desperately trying to catch up. We are at some seriously high posting rates!

      I post what I can when I can. This week has seen the most activity from me at SW in ages.

      And from a lot of people. We are heading back to historic high posting rates and almost historic high view rates, which almost never happen together.

        Started internet recovery on my MacBook Pro.
        Apple only lets it recover to the original OS. So back to OS X Lion.
        Logged in and now it is downloading macOS Sierra.
        The fun part was the old Mac App Store could not handle the 2 factor auth on my iCloud account. Turns out you have to type your password and then the 6 digit code tacked onto your password and then it accepts it.

        Going to troubleshoot the weird wireless behavior I was having again with a clean macOS install and see what I want to do with the laptop.

          Is this the one you just had Kororra on?

            Yeah. It was flaky before. That is why I decided to wipe it in the first place.

            It steadily got worse. So I expect to have the same issues again.

            But it is not my laptop. It is a company machine. So once I troubleshoot it, and replace/repair if needed, it needs to be reloaded clean yet again and set aside as spare or I have to buy it out.

              If its hardware is flaky and it's an older machine, I'd pitch it unless it's something you can replace yourself. I hate keeping flaky crap around.

                was only the wireless. so if it stays flaky, I can replace just that easily enough.

                    Nothing like a MS error for things to blow up in your hands.

                            Contract with DirecTV ends on Monday. Considering going to Sling.com and trying it out. Anybody else had any experience with them?

                                Just read some SMB IT Journal articles on generalist / specialist and engineer / support and am re-familiarizing myself with the feeling of ambivalence.

                                    No, it's terrible. Deciding between multiple things about which you have passion is quite stressful. 😕

                                      I try sharing stuff and get this response:

                                      "They are full of it. We experience saturation weekly and without QOS our calls would we inaudible. Tell mango con they will never see us at a conference. QOS FOR LIFE

                                          Would having the understanding of QoS concepts and having the skills to configure it be something that you'd expect a generalist to have? Or would that knowledge and skill be expected for a network specialist and a bonus for a generalist?
