Metallic looks like it might do what I want here.

Unless you're talking about using Metallic's Endpoint, the pricing structure seems... strange to me. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong.

The endpoint pricing seems to be ~$10 /user /month.

The Core pricing seems to be $200/tb/month for using your own storage? Seems a bit pricey to me on that front.

Bye to another Google product.

Whoa, that seems like a big one.

I agree, very surprised to see this go

And there is nothing on the market to replace it!

Not sure that’s true. I recall some vendor at SW a year or two ago... not sure it was cloud based though.

Papercut is pretty standard from my experience. But I don't remember if that used Google print or not.

Papercut provides a cloud printing service?

Kind of. It has a "driver-less" and Web-based printing GUI. You upload a file to Papercuts and it prints to the printer you selected.

We used Papercut for a bit at my last job. Not sure what we use here now.

built it when it was 0.44a... It now is showing 0.44-s.

That might only be like 3 days worth of updates, sometimes they do a crazy number of releases in a short time...

Yeah. It's not the number of updates that surprised me. It's the fact that it updated on its own. I just checked my config file and the SelfUpdate is on, so nothing broken, system working as designed.

Heading to PetSmart and then PetCo for pet adoption events. The girls finally convinced their mom to get a cat.

How is kitty settling in?

Does MeshCentral automatically update now? I snafu'd my system and built it when it was 0.44a... It now is showing 0.44-s.

I'm not complaining, lol. Just something I noticed.

If you set it to, it will. It's done that for a long time now.

lol. Guess I better go dig into my config file, lol.

Imaging this on SW lol

I'm imagining a big ball of flames crashing from the sky in NJ.

@nadnerB said in Handling Downvotes:

We can always turn it off again, so let's have a go with visible downvotes.
It will show if someone is on a targeted downvote crusade to lower reputation of one specific user... which we've had before.

If it turns folks sour, then as @nadnerB said, we can turn it off again.
