I will say if you put the NEC in place in the last couple of years (which I thought I saw that you did), it may be possible to sell it on eBay or to some kind of firm that buys old PBXs to make up a little bit of money toward new handsets / something else. When we got rid of our Avaya IP Office 406 system in 2013 and moved to Elastix, a company bought all the hardware from us for around $1500 - $2000 if memory serves (including about 70 Avaya 5410 desk phones as well).

Compare the cost of the system to the money saved over a period of 2-3 years switching to a SIP provider and using some type of open source PBX. You may make that money up pretty quickly.

I haven't tried this....

In Big Picture mode go to Settings, Controller, Add a Controller. Press and hold X then press the Steam button. (Keep holding X). It will then give you a 4 button sequence to key in. Done.

Not sure if that will kick the other controller off or not.

This worked, thanks!

Free and cross platform, have not seen it before but it looks interesting.

Seems to be that way.

@KOOLER already tested vanilla FreeBSD 🙂

No, there is nothing like that. The filesystem is just not there. It would warn you, though, so you would know not to be trying to save to something that doesn't exist.

And instability often leads to security vulnerabilities, they tend to go hand in hand.

I'll probably have to turn it over to them (while filming) and the pursue legal action. Otherwise they will send the account to collections for the fees, and possibly even back charge for cable modem rental for 3 years. ($10/month + $300 fee).

Do not turn it over to them. Don't even talk to them anymore. Just head for small claims court. This is theft, and you have the evidence.

And with the contract you might even have "premeditated intent to defraud and extort."

Some phones will not be getting it at all, particularly lower end ones.

I think that's crazy. I have a Lumia 635 that I use if I go riding 4 wheelers or whatever because it cost me $40. Doesn't get much lower end than that, but it's supposed to get the update.

It's my understanding that this phone will be getting the update, it's just a matter of when. Are you on AT&T?

Ya its supposed to get it. That's what I was saying, are there any others that are lower end than that? I have straight talk but it uses AT&T.

Can we petition NTG to run a modded Minecraft server on their Scale Cluster? For "testing" purposes?

Where have you been this week?

http://mangolassi.it/topic/7610/installing-minecraft-server-on-centos-7-with-oracle-java-8

@art_of_shred has been playing on it every day, in fact.

I'll have to see if it works on the Win7 client when I get home tonight.

Works with the standard client, wherever it runs.. the Java client. We have been testing it from Windows 10 but the standard client is the same everywhere - the miracle of Java 🙂

Is it open to the public, or do we need an invite?

Semi-private. IM'd you the info.

Sure, lots of ways of handling this. A script is one option, of course, and not that hard. You could make it ping once a minute and if the ping fails, send an email. That's not hard, especially in BASH.

Commonly this is handled by systems like Zabbix, Zenoss, Nagios or Spiceworks. They all have that functionality. If you lack that internally it might be well worth looking at implementing something more broadly since you are already addressing the need for this one specific thing.

With the new partner pricing, maybe I'll have to finally get one of these bad boys to play with.

So you linked this topic in another thread, and I just read through this. Did anyone else use HDM on DOS?

In middle and high school we had something like that. It was a hand coded console graphics and batch programs that would run what you chose. You're taking me back. It might have originally been made on a program like that, but the students quickly learned how to customize it.

I'm interested to see how this new one works... we had the old version but ditched it almost immediately. Now I just need some spare licenses...

Nothing scarier than things that fix themselves 😞

Seriously upset about this. I will be rebooting the machine a few times today trying to make it do it again.

@anonymous said:

We should get one! 😄

No!!!! spend enough bloody time on the forum (and SW)

Maybe we are just horrible but, whenever a user forgets to do something like this it's on them and up to their manager to enforce it. We don't make changes like this in a users account. If we actually did that something like that would need approval from the COO or CEO.
