"The recent shift to the cloud has proven immensely profitable, with Microsoft stock growing to levels that seemed unfathomable just a few years ago. The shift away from the client and Windows is clearly working as a business strategy — but it’s a seismic shift for the company and its culture."

He seems to figure things out by the end, but just stating what everyone has known for years.

@scottalanmiller said in Are People Just Not Buying Computers Anymore?:

But there is a reason that office work is rarely shifting to new form factors, they simply aren't conducive to "getting things done." They are great as notification devices that things are needed. But poor for inputting data.

Only because the application developers are still stuck in the mindset of desktop applications being the way it has to work.

This goes along the lines of our Telegram conversation the other evening. Once things are rewrote with an interactive web platform as the design from the ground up, this will change.

Once this work is truly web based, people will begin to work on office work on new devices as well.

Right now, doing invoicing in random LOB applicaiton 01 simply cannot happen because the system is not designed for other devices to be used.

@chiefplato said in Nextcloud OPCache warning:

Hello,

I run Nextcloud 13.01 on nginx and Centos 7 and was able to get the opcache warnings removed by adding the following to my /etc/php.d/opcache.ini file (below) then restarting php-fpm

opcache.enable_cli=1
opcache.max_accelerated_files=10000
opcache.save_comments=1
opcache.revalidate_freq=1

Awesome, thanks.

DHCP stuff being in there for the EdgeRouter devices, but I also don't see it in the added features list. Regardless, it's pretty useful for me.

It was there before.

Yes, it has been there since at least version 0.10.0

You looked at running PA in a VM? It's a lot cheaper.

No I haven't! But I will now. Thanks.

This is essentially what @JaredBusch and I are always recommending. Sure, we might be a little more cautious about whether you need all this layer 7 stuff or not, is it really necessary. But neither of us is saying that it's a bad idea, the thing that we keep harping on as a ridiculous near-"scam" level problem is the UTM model of shoving all these services into the firewall where they do not belong because it is a risk and expensive and violates very basic best practices that have been around for forever. It's the Windows SBS model taken to networking.

Would it be worth taking a look at running a UBNT Router and a separate device for Application Filtering?

There are two scenarios that cover 99% of cases. One is "it's not worth doing anything at layer 7", the other is "layer 7 is needed so we need a separate device for application filtering." The thing that essentially never makes sense is the UTM where you do "security badly". Bad security isn't security.

@brrabill said in Windows 10 Refuses To Update:

Did you get that after upgrading to 1709?

We are seeing that after upgrading to 1709, but then it goes away after manually running WU once.

That PC had been on 1709 for many months. Just out of the blue.

While using Wayland, if your keyboard has to Windows key, you can use the one on the right.

I have used ActivTrak

Same here, it works well.

@eonkraft said in Thoughts on 4 node Nutanix CE cluster performance:

I have experience with DELL hardware and VMware software and pretty much happy with them. I'll double check other solutions, thanks.

Some solutions, like Starwind, run on Dell and VMware. So that lines up directly with wanting to continue to use those vendors.

I have downloaded the drivers and reinstalled too which is not working.Will try to upgrade today

Okay. There is about a 30% chance that that will fix it. Not great, but well worth trying.

It’ll take a bit I’m sure to download.

You see! This is why you shouldn't patch!

@dustinb3403 said in Copperhead OS - A Security and Privacy Focused Android OS:

Is Java at all included in this OS? If so you're boned.

Sure, but not as bad as running Google services and getting targeted ads all the time. If you want to be 100% safe, you have to unplug completely.

I also had to fix a permissions issue from a while back, that wasn't affecting anything until I went to get this feature to be functional.

Do you have .net4 installed on this xp client?

Yep, sure do. You have to add hex together in order to get the proper value in order to keep 1.0, 1.1,and 1.2 working

I've not seen this happen. If Jared hasn't seen it either, it might be worth a quick call or email to Sangoma support. Since you bought the modules, they should make sure that they work.
