MileIQ for mileage works great, set it and forget it.

The birds eye view on bing maps used to be great, until Microsoft decided to get rid of it! It was way better than Google maps for fishing recon.

Hi, it’s my business (also)! PM me if you are interested :).

The plan says 4 lines but they had a promo a couple years ago to add a line for free. So I did..

That's a great deal for 4 lines. Just for myself, ting has been amazing. My usage has been up for the past few months, so my bill has gone up from $25.00/month to $35.00/month (yes, ting still does the tiered billing thing, but only charge for what you actually use.)

Microsoft is going all in on the Teams client as the new softphone for desktop and mobile, Skype for Business will be EOL.

Dead before it ever got started. Doesn't bode well for Teams.

@sully93 said in Mobile Device Management:

I have but in cases of immediate termination we already have their accounts disabled so don't think the phone and our server are able to communicate with each other. Plus if they are backing up their phones then they can restore from the previous backup and be right back to where they were.

They'd get around any MDM in those cases.

@thwr Points taken on board, thanks thwr 🙂

@scottalanmiller I knew it had to be fluffyctulhudeepstorage!

@irj I Laughed pretty hard. There are benefits to combining hardware and software together in a purchase, and then there are downsides. Weird trade in/up games is one of them.

Also many of the new ones seem to only be used by scammers/spammers. Probably due to the fact there are so many of them now(tlds and spammers).
.top
.xyz
.win
All of these are newer tlds that legit people can use, but in reality i have only ever gotten spam or a bunch of login attempts from them.

I still dont get why some of these new tld are managed by companies like Amazon or Gallo vineyards or this company called Donuts, which seems to have been setup specifically to gank management of as many of these tld as possible.

I may have to check this out. Trying to use Google Voice currently for rental property management and it just doesn't seem to be cutting it. Most of our calls would be inbound and the extra features like virtual receptionist would be nice.

For my side business, I do tenths of an hour. I come from Legal IT background though and that is how Lawyers charge so I go with what I know.

@manxam said in What email service do you use for your small business?:

I've had really good success with MXRoute for small orgs.
They provide next-to-no support (and are open about that in their FAQ) but, in 3 years of utilizing their service, I've never required it.

Their pricing and the services that they offer are excellent (i.e. webmail via horde, squirrel, and roundcube. Spamassassin, global and local filters, relays, imap(s), pop(s), alternate imap/pop ports, caldav, zPush, etc)

For one of my personal projects I have a 30gb 5$ / year account via a discount code I found on VPSCheap, though I do use Exchange for my business due to better calendar/contact/Outlook integration.

One of their current offers:

Storage: 100GB
Features: Unlimited domains/email accounts
Server Location: Dallas, TX

Price:
Monthly: $5
Quarterly: $10
Semi-Annually: $20
Annually: $35
Biennially (every 2 years): $60
Triennially (every 3 years): $90

They kind of get you with the storage. Really cant imagine "no support". Even with Zoho you get some support for free accounts.

@nerdydad said in How to choose public DNS provider for an ISP:

or should I give them something that is more privacy focused but might also restrict their access to the internet.

But OpenDNS does nothing of the sort. It is a pubic open DNS service available for anyone to use.

@kyle said in Citrix XenApp 6 farm:

@penguinwrangler said in Citrix XenApp 6 farm:

@kyle do you mean you will publish the application to the desktop?

We currently have 4 2008 servers running XenApp 6. IE 11 doesn't support IE11 but 2008 R2 does.

I was looking at adding a 2008 R2 node to the 4 2008 servers and wondered if there is any issues or beat practices to mixing 2008 & 2008 R2 in a clustered XenApp farm to publish a newer app only supported on 1 server.

I remember, and this is a long time ago, issues with adding an R2 server to a 2008 RDSH farm and having temporary profile issues. It was common to see someone add an 2008 R2 RDHS server to a 2012 RDSH to provide IE11 support. I think the connection broker needs an update.

2016 RDSH is a big change. I have been testing Citrix vs 2016 RDSH and for full desktop Citrix doesnt add anything more than I have found with cheaper add-on products. I realize you are probably serving apps up though.

But I would google about temp profile issues before doing what you are doing. And again, not sure that would affect your XenApp situation.

This is litteraly a temp fix as prior to my joining the team they're moving away from Citrix to RDS.

The problem with the workaround that's in place is is It a thin client to connect to Citrix and launch IE11 tthrough a RDP into another server running IE11 which prevents the user from performing some tasks.
