                Because people keep buying their expensive **** local versions, and they know people would just switch to a competitor if they force everyone to the cloud version.

                Just because the cloud version is the only one that is any good doesn't matter at all in this case. Besides, how else would they keep running their scam centers?

                  Well - the reality is, the cloud version apparently is crippled compared to the local install - at least that's what people tell me who have tried both.

                              I finally was able to see the moon this morning! It's been too cloudy since I got the new telescope. I'm still waiting on the t-adapter, Barlow, and 8-24mm eye piece to arrive, but looks awesome nonetheless. Once I get the t-adapter I can hook up the Fuji and get much better pics.

                                Been running the Ender 3Pro most of the last several days - trying TPU - flexible filament now for a stamp (ink stamp).

                                I should also add - I dislike Google Websites - but working on some club items. Hoping we can manage to swing moving it to a better host - and upgrade to WordPress. Also worked out the new club raffle tickets - proofing and then off to the printer.

                                  I finally got to the store today to pick up a mini-B (mini usb) cable to connect the telescope mount to the Raspberry Pi.

                                  I was able to get it configured and working. That was one of the biggest things I was worried about because I've seen so many people having issues with the Prolific PL2303 drivers and R-Pis in general. The mount's hand controller uses a built-in serial to usb interface. But with Astroberry, it was fairly simple and worked.

                                  I already got the Fuji camera working with the Pi a few months ago while I was waiting for the telescope on backorder.

                                  Now that the biggest hurdles are overcome, I just need to wait a little longer for the t-adapter to arrive. Winter here is the cloudy/rainy season 😞 The t-ring already came. In the meantime, I'm going to have to wait for some clear nights to be able to align the scope properly and really give this a thorough test with the Pi.

                                  The Barlow and the 8-24mm eye piece should arrive around the same time as the t-adapter. That should be some fun viewing as well.

                                    Monday Morning Pet Peeve - Password change (with supposed SSO).
                                    That's a password for;

                                    • PC
                                    • Outlook

                                    • Sharepoint

                                    Either SSO is borked - or someone turned it off. Oh,.. I think both as it doesn't work with MS MFA.

                                        and something about vacation and sick time, it doesn't make sense to me since he got in with google on contract to hire -

                                          Well, that made for an interesting Monday after a holiday weekend. Had a site down, internal network was all good but no internet. Turned out it was in the other building that's only at half-staff level this week and nobody realized any of the network was down in the other building where the internet connection is actually located.

                                            Done!
                                            About 25 hours of hands-on over four days. Did not physically visit any of the 7 locations.
                                            We are thankful for BackStage and Powershell!

                                            A few minor issues along the way.....
                                            Of the 1100+ workstation migrations:

                                            • We had to re-install MS Office on four of them.
                                            • We had to manually move redirected folders back to the laptop on 6 of 15 that were at remote locations and using redirected folders.
                                            • We had to re-write one script to handle application settings for one mission critical app that exists on every PC. The script provided by the software company was unreliable.
                                            • We missed two users during account creation in the new domain, so we handled that on the fly.
                                            • We misspelled one user's name during account creation in the new domain, so we handled that on the fly.
                                            • We usually use Code Two for mail migration. On this project, we had a hiccup and ended up scripting the mailbox export and import for all 1100+ users. After a successful setup and test of the Code Two software, we ran Windows updates on the new Exchange server and the updates broke Code Two. The killer part was that no matter what we tried, we could not uninstall the two updates that gave of this trouble. So, another PS script to the rescue!

                                            All in all....Piece of cake and smooth as silk!
