The most simple place to start is with just system documentation. How things are setup, what OS, what hypervisor, what specs and explain why 1vCPU and 1GB ram is the standard practice for VM creation (it doesn't waste resources) and it's easy to increase, but difficult to decrease.

Last night me , my boss, and another tech were troubleshooting an issue where odd number terminals talked, and even number terminals talked but did not talk all the way through the system.
I'm beyond lost cause everything is set up correctly, can connect to everything through our Command Center but it's still not up.
Tried everything we can think of and were leaning towards it being more of a Windows issues rather than an Aloha issue.

Created a new thread.
Check it out.

We all see when threads are made. . .

@Dashrender Got it. Our departments have their own budget so if they want to print color they can but they figured out fast to be responsible for their own paper.

That seems like a bad approach, since any given department could be forced to stop work "because they overran their paper budget".

Usually, they use the code and pin to know where they are using color but otherwise default is to allow b&w to print without a code.

How does the printer know the difference? Black is a color. .

Just considering the thought for a bit.

Positions that are highly respected positions such as doctors or professors cost a ton of time and money to earn, causing a ton of debt.

And in these same positions, we have people who are literally charging way more money for a basic service. Because they need to pay off their personal debt.

Which if it didn't cost so much money to become a doctor (not talking about reducing education efficiency or studies, just financial cost) than doctors wouldn't be forced to charge so much for the same basic services (which ultimately result in insurance payments) because the customer simply couldn't afford to pay for the service at those inflated rates.

Consumers are screwed as soon as they choose to purchase any product, be it phones or computers or cars or food.

You're paying a premium to buy the product, from where-ever you chose. Competition for Mitel is the Open source community.

The hardware hardly has any way to not work on appliances like FreePBX.

This could also be done with a Tablet and some software on that tablet. In this case though you'd need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

All of the printers, scanners, network shares, etc etc would all be hosted from the VDI environment that the client logs into.

@DustinB3403 but they cost £320+ why them over the Netgear Prosafe or GS724 range? or the HP ones
what makes the Ubiquiti ones £100 more worth it

Because Netgear is a joke and HP's aren't much better than the Netgear equipment. I can't help you with the cost, it is the better option.

Bout time.

No point in these companies being separated.

Yeah it does.

Any open source and free KVM backup software

FOSS is not a requirement to me.

If there was a robust package I could use to get agentless and CBT and file level restore on KVM, I will buy it, if it is reasonable.

There was a thread on the other site about Unitrends having agentless on it sometime this year. Ill have to see if I can find it.

But I cannot even install Unitrends on Hyper-V server.............

Are we allowed to post links from there?

Yes

Since when?

Since the person who made up that insane rule was removed from the site.

Would that insane person be Dave?

So they made something that was awesome, into something awful.

Yay!

I can vouch for the suppliers.. but here ya go.

@momurda said in Non-IT News Thread:

Might as well be bitching about the money spent on radio wave research 100 years ago as worthless. Research which fundamentally transformed humanity.

Researching the stars, or sending out "welcome to earth" type practices have very little to do with what we need today. Research better solar power generation, maybe some crazy band around the earth that collects solar energy 24/7.

Put businesses that burn fossil fuels out of business, address the things that are killing the one thing that no matter what, we're stuck on.

The few people (if it ever happens) to escape earth and colonize another planet, will not be you or I. To boot, NASA isn't doing research into terraforming (AFAWK).

So a habitable world isn't even within any astronauts lifetime. The nearest thought to be habitable world is 12 light-years away.

@fateknollogee said in Edgeswitch: Layer-3 or not??:

@scottalanmiller
The question then is such: for routing across VLANs is this switch "adequate" (aka good enough) vs a switch that is adverstised as a Layer-3 switch?

You'd be better purchasing a proper L3 switch.

@nerdydad said in Spiceworks - Maintenance records:

I imagine you could use SW for this. Create a form with the necessary fields on the SW portal that would create a certain kind of ticket that would log the maintenance that you do on a device. Then just close it when either you are done or you return the equipment to the professor.

Shame!

@wrx7m haven't seen that show but I understand it is about drugs, and this is Arizona, so yeah, likely.
