Yeah, wget and epel-release are NOT part of a true clean CentOS install. Many people just make instructions with assumptions built in.

I did not in this case. I knew that epel was required but not included and put it in the instructions. Wget I tested to ensure it was there by default, but it appears that Digital Ocean is modifying that too!! That's really frustrating. Can't wait till our new lab cluster is up so that we can do these tests faster and easier there with true vanilla installs and not have to trust third parties have not been modifying them.

Well, we had a discussion here (not even going to try and find the thread) about a year or so ago when I was setting something up and I mentioned this then. Mostly related to how DO was not a clean Minimal install.

I even got a $10.00 Gift Card for my efforts.

Who knew, I wasn't expecting anything.

That doesn't really surprise me that it's a bandwidth hog like that...

Thanks, Ill have a look. I wonder if they are features I would be concerned over.

There does not seem to be any trend with this issue. Just one user, in a quick search, reporting the issue. And there was no answer in that case.

FWIW, I've found some additional instances of this issue by searching Google with "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PushNotifications\AppDB"

@johnhooks yup, every script that is trying to hit you already checks for the ports to be open, not specific ones. Someone attacking you would never even realize you had changed the port unless they are specifically getting a report of people who had done so, presumably because that would mean that they are better targets to focus on.

Plus if nothing else, it's annoying to remember.

Which alone is considered a bad security practice.

You are too fast for us 🙂

I had a meeting at 3pm EST with the vendor on the assumption I was going to have the issue fixed by then. Now I can go get some coffee.

So just buggy ass software, and the device is useless then?

You could try hacking it for a weekend project. It's got all the right bits to be an interesting toy.

@xByteSean said:

@BRRABill Yes as a matter of fact we do. Any proof of concept box can be configured and shipped to you, and if it didn't fit your needs we would provide the return shipping label at no cost to you.

That is very awesome!

I think you have the Ftype and Assoc backwards.

I am letting ZT assign the IP addresses.

@Dashrender I believe first is the VBR's actual license and another is a support package you can buy it addition to the first one.

@MattSpeller

Thanks for the writeup for us noobs.

The only good Acer machines I ever saw were the netbooks. Those things were just awesome!

Their monitors can be 'ok' but not great. Granted Acer doesn't really make them. Neither does anyone else make their own monitors for the most part.

This makes me wonder if there is a limit to the number of devices you can attach to an Exchange account?

It was indeed the firewall. Simple enough I guess... thanks for the quick reply, Scott. Man, I'm glad you brought me over to Mango. Super fast responses.

Woot!!

Can you delete messages from the watch? This is something the Band can't do.. 😞

Nope. The watch is pretty much passive. It holds the last 5 notifications. No actual data. For example if someobody sends me a FB message, I can read the whole message from my watch, but once I get 5 additional notifications, it is removed from the watch.

The MS Band 2 is the same way.
