      UGH I HATE OWA!! So limited in what I can see on a page have to open 3 separate pages to get anything done (well actually it's 9 separate pages, for 3 email accounts). Today is going to be one VERY LONG DAY!

      I am having Office issues I can't activate anything. So I also can't use my office aps either on my desktop or online today. DRIVING ME NUTS!

      I set up KMS in November and just recently fixed/eliminated the last of the false KMS hosts from the network. The previous admin has used the KMS activation server key on VDI guests instead of setting up a single KMS host server and using the keys from appendix A on the guests. Our DNS literally had over a hundred KMS server listed and no one was getting software activations properly.

      I wish you the best of luck in your quest to achieve license compliance if you're not using a KMS box.

      Office365 licensing...

      Plus you might not have enough users - and KMS assumes LAN type access (yes it can work on VPNs - and hackers have setup KMS server on the internet before that you can manually config your computer - but those are not the intention.)

        Just thought about a new project, a DIY kitchen radio. Our beloved 25 years old Siemens radio died a few days ago. It's still working, but some buttons are broken. We already tried 4 or 5 different radios, but all of them aren't good for one reason or another.

        So, what makes a good kitchen radio in 2017?

        • VHF / UKW (ultra-short range, standard in Europe / Germany) radio
        • Play radio streams
        • Easy to use timer / alarm
        • Would like to stream from Android / iPhone to the radio (we likes to listen to music and audio books when we're preparing the meal for example).
        • Display w/Clock
        • Low power consumption

        Additional ideas?

                                That's a full featured, low power radio IC. Roughly $1 at aliexpress 🙂

                                    Just another reason for Texas to secede, but that's another topic entirely.

                                      What I'm talking about is a single chip radio, including all the low level stuff.

                                          NerdyDad should know this. The map of the DFW metroplex is worse.

                                            @thwr haha I meant that aliexpress is... not always what you think you're getting

                                            Yeah, just got it 😛

                                            Ali is ok, at least for electronic components etc - You just need to know exactly what you want to buy
