Sometimes technically erks me!

Technology is great...when it works. I feel like we need to append "as intended for proper use" to that phrase...

Yeah, for proper use. Or caution, may be deemed unworthy of working properly.

Why should I do it more often than that? Linux boxes have been known to go years without rebooting.

Because it provides for safety and reliability. Just because machines CAN go without rebooting doesn't make it a good idea. And reboots are not to make systems run better, they are to protect against the unability to reboot when things are critical. No amount of "systems can run for years without a reboot" matters because that's not related to why we reboot.

I have seen enough about the getting hot and battery issues to dissuade me from moving to 10 just yet.

I wouldn't just yet...if for the battery issues alone on the Surface Pro 3...

Looks like the delayed start did it! Thanks!

Pretty much any computer outside of high end gaming and business grade computers will cut costs anywhere they can.

Along that line of thought, I would assume that the cost of removing it is more than the cost of leaving that part of the BIOS code alone.

@scottalanmiller Can't get ahold of anyone involved.

Ended up finding this

Enhanced PoE use Cisco Discovery Protocol to auto-negotiate a power level in excess of 15.4W per port.
The Cisco Enhanced PoE switch informs the powered device (PD) of the power level it is capable of providing, and the powered device then selects the appropriate power level.

So it may even need to by a Cisco Branded device... Ugh. Cisco!!! Why???

Some how I Dont think anyone that can afford the paid version of UEB or an appliance is going to be using C@C for anything they care to backup.

You can get a free UEB over there, which is what I use, and lots of people here are over there, and use C@C.

Webroot blocked it... Interesting.

For the filtering part, what about OpenDNS?

@tonyshowoff WinAmp is stuck in the 90's still. It's better than iTunes but that's not saying much.

The 90s was my hay-day.

Anything I am missing? Going to be firing up a couple new boxes this afternoon.

Hmmm.... interesting idea but hard to imagine where it will be useful.

@thecreativeone91 said:

What makes you think because it works in the browser the ports aren't blocked? The app uses port 32400 (TCP)

Yeah, I know. Because the web link is jump.thanksaj.com:32400/web but, from what I can tell, it routes the Plex app through their servers via your account which then connects back to your server. I'm thinking that there must be some proxy of some sort causing the disconnect but I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to get around it...

@Aaron-Studer said:

Yeah, I thought about that too. Can't run windows apps then.

Why do you want Windows apps? 😉

@Josh said:

@thanksajdotcom Client updates are automatic, however they do not necessarily get pushed at the same time as releases. The Windows update should go out very soon. In the past, we required manual updates.

Oh believe me, I remember...

@thecreativeone91 ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl - console is not compliant with anything NEWER than IE7. To reboot the WESM you have to reboot the WHOLE switch.

I have do that too with the Cisco W4400 switch I have. I'll be glad to be rid of that... even though we had zero problems with it for 8 years.
