      Just got my laptop back from Dell repair. Having to rebuild it back to its glory. This is going to take a while.

      The six stages of workstation reinstall:

      1. The OS install went faster than I expected.
      2. There are a ton of patches
      3. How can it take 14 hours to download one version upgrade
      4. Finally ready to install software
      5. I know I'm missing something

      Steps 6-429: Oh yeah, that is what I forgot to install.

      Its a life long process...

        Seems about right. I tend to wait until I need something 5 minutes ago before I install it. That way, some of my crap stays gone... but only some of it.

          This is highly accurate

            I'm presently flying the ship solo, coworker on vacation. Got my coffee in my left hand, vape in my right. I'd say I wasn't especially concerned about this as I can deal with most anything that comes up however I know that Murphy's law never sleeps.

                    Second time in less than 3 weeks that Opitmum (Altiva) has removed the static IP addresses of my customers' modem. They said it is an automated system issue, stating that the router was upgraded automatically and removed all the static IP addresses...

                      Oh how nice. So why doesn't your automated update process put the settings back? Someone asleep at the switch over there?

                          Yeah, and then they tell me that they need to speak with the account holder to add the Static IP addresses back...

                            @dbeato :pouting_face: Been there, done that. Time Warner once helpfully disconnected us because someone had moved the "business class" tag to the line running to a house. I couldn't believe they were still relying on physical tags on lines to tell service people who to disconnect!

                                It cost us 3 days of sales too. That was the last straw that got the owners to switch over to DSL. Not that their service was any better, but at least we didn't get taken offline just because the neighbors wanted to use our internet connection!

                                  Got a coax network working with Ubiquiti AC Pros working well with Gigabit Coax to Ethernet adapters.

                                  I had no idea that coax was still used in networking! Do you still have to use the terminators and all that or is this something different?

                                  What's the impedence of the coax cable? (I think most older cable TV lines run on 75 ohms or something like that)

                                    Nothing like that today. MOCA makes life easy!

                                      TV coax is still 75 ohm. However, there is coax with lower impedance but with higher cost.
