In CPAP news, my new headgear should arrive in NY a few days before my flight to Athens.

@hobbit666 said in SAMIT on Huawei vs Google: One thing I don't get yet is my have Xiaomi, Umidigi and other manufactures from that side of the world not been effect by all this stuff with the US? My thoughts would be if the government have been asking Huawei to but spying/data harvesting stuff in gear wouldn't they be asking all manufacturers? If they go after "all" it would over expose the falseness of the whole thing.

@dafyre I uninstalled ITarian from the computer, it took a long time before I could uninstall the app from the phone. It is working fine now

@DustinB3403 said in Office365 on Android - Certificate Error: While an MDM can limit what apps are allowed (or not allowed) the most simple usage is to tag company owned data. This way if someone leaves the company with their personal cellphone, the MDM policy can wipe out anything tagged as company property. @JaredBusch thanks for clarifying the point, that this policy is under the security settings. The app is moot to the policy being there or not if one exists at all. To clarify further, there were no MDM policies set under Device Admin outside of what O365 already applies. I did remove that but that caused it to log out of the account/remove it and when I reconnected things, the problem went away as I anticipated. Still was curious as to why it was happening though. My best guess is what I previously mentioned about him connecting to an open hotspot and it causing the issue.

@JaredBusch said in Alternatives to OpenVPN for FreePBX on cell phone...: @scottalanmiller said in Alternatives to OpenVPN for FreePBX on cell phone...: @JaredBusch said in Alternatives to OpenVPN for FreePBX on cell phone...: There has never been a promise or timeline made for the mobile apps. Anyone expecting anything on that front is operating in their own little fantasy. That's the main use case of softphones, though. Like 95% I would guess. Softphones for the desktop are way more niche. I totally disagree. Softphone on the desktop is by far the largest user base thanks to call centers. Softphone on mobile is a far second to that. Maybe overall, but for FreePBX? FreePBX is pretty rare in call centers, AFAIK.

@Obsolesce - Yeah, thanks.

@kelly It's interesting that they allow this for one person and not a group. Seems obvious that someone would need it. /captainhindsight

@black3dynamite said in Replacing Samsung Android device: @gjacobse said in Replacing Samsung Android device: @scottalanmiller said in Replacing Samsung Android device: @gjacobse said in Replacing Samsung Android device: @scottalanmiller said in Replacing Samsung Android device: Chromebook Tab 10 My initial concern with the ChromeOS line is that there are going to be some specific applications that I will want to run. Naming DroidPSK and 817 Companion - Ham Radio programs. How is that an issue? It runs anything Android can run. So if those don't work on Android, why do you want an Android device? It's not an issue if the ChromeOS will run them. I don't have the bases of ChromeOS, but did look at the CB Tab10, and it should work fine... so - I am open to it as an option. Android apps can be installed on ChromeOS. https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/7021273?hl=en But Google Play Store is only available on selected Chromebooks https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps New ones with OP1 processor all take the Google Play Store.

@dbeato - Thanks. Maybe it didn't used to be in red.

@irj said in Sentio, an Android Laptop Dock: I kinda like the idea, but I hate the way they mount the phone. It looks really cheesy. But for $129 i think it's a not a bad price It was $150 when I looked, which seems awful given the $179 price of a great Chromebook.

@irj said in Issues with Android on KVM: It did let me have somewhat better control and let me drag the cursor around, but still not accurate enough to use for any period of time. Ok if I get time this afternoon I'll take another stab at it.

We are starting to use this now.

I've been telling people this sort of thing is what to expect for the future of computing solutions for some years now. Not sure this is the device that will make it catch on but we are ever closer to it being a truly useful option.

Yes, always make the service first, any apps come last.

@popester said in Facebook Caught Scraping Call and Text Data from Android Users: @scottalanmiller said in Facebook Caught Scraping Call and Text Data from Android Users: @popester said in Facebook Caught Scraping Call and Text Data from Android Users: Wow, the hits keep coming. I feel sorry for all the people that work for facebook if this gets any worse. I did find it strange that I had to remove Ireland from from our block by region firewall list. Totally shut down Facebook. I wonder if they take advantage of the low tax rate somehow by doing that. Hmmm? Facebook, like nearly all tech companies, have big offices in Dublin. Dublin is the EU's silicon valley. Maybe its for the Guinness? Good a reason as any.

Supports Ubuntu 16.04 as well as Windows. Last gen Intel, though. I'd prefer current gen AMD. huh, well, doesn't seem so interesting anymore. there is AMD boards, but support has been removed, they are called gizmos and abit pricy and needs fan: http://www.gizmosphere.org/products/gizmo-2/

@dustinb3403 said in Copperhead OS - A Security and Privacy Focused Android OS: Is Java at all included in this OS? If so you're boned. Sure, but not as bad as running Google services and getting targeted ads all the time. If you want to be 100% safe, you have to unplug completely.

@dashrender said in Mileage tracking app - any suggestions?: Well - apparently our tax advisors have stated that we only need to monitor driving habits for two weeks, then use that data to extrapolate the expected business trips and do math... /sigh.. whatever. Yeah, that's way easier.

In your situation, you may need to ask help from a Broken Android Data Extraction tool. It helps you extract data from a broken screen or dead Android phone.

@nerdydad Time to purge everything

@scottalanmiller said in Remix OS Discontinued: @stacksofplates said in Remix OS Discontinued: Wonder if I can install something else on my mini? Or if it's even worth trying... I bet a normal Linux will work fine. Idk do you can get in the boot loader or not. It would have to be "rooted"
