    • RE: Bitcoin

      @lakshmana this would in no way improve your situation. If you are new to BTC you would be much safer moving your funds to coinbase until this is over.

      Its those who aren't on the segwit side who send there money that direction without using the right process that risk replay.

    • So Amazon just accidentally gave me $700 off a DJI Mavic Pro drone

      Decided to take the 20% off the $1100 bundle Amazon was offering. Turned into a $700 discount.

      Searching twitter others are reporting it. Will be interesting to see if they honor it. My card has been charged...

    • RE: I am going to start an ISP

      @nerdydad said in I am going to start an ISP:

      So this topic is now going to turn a little business-y.

      Best way to get funding. What is it? Basically assume that everybody around me is poor and cannot pitch in. What are the different types of investing along with each pros/cons?

      There are a few ways to go here. We have financed build out rounds the same way we financed our original WISP startup. Get equipment for 100 subs, marketing and overhead covered for 6 months. At startup apply for an SBA loan so it will become available at the 6 month mark, that will carry you to 18 months.

      Otherwise I would boot strap it if you plan to start small and be small for a long time.

      Once you have 100 subs I know lots of people that would get behind a first series round to fund a build out.

      It comes down to, do you have great credit? Do you have a truly great market with 500 sub potential?

    • Zero Touch Configuration of Yealink

      Anyone use the Yealink RPS API yet? http://support.yealink.com/faq/faqInfo?id=86

      I am looking to create a Zero Touch experience for Yealink/Fusion that would be even more streamlined than Sangoma phones and FreePBX.

      Having some syntax issues but when I am done I will be able to enter a MAC address in FusionPBX, configure my desired phone settings, default any Yealink phone (new or used) and have it come up auto-provisioned.

      No DHCP Options, no manual entering of provisioner URL. Just hold down the OK button, phone defaults, comes up configured.

      I can currently entering the MAC address for customers in my RPS account, so this would automate that task.

    • RE: So Amazon just accidentally gave me $700 off a DJI Mavic Pro drone

      UPDATE: Have only wrecked into my house a couple times. Have also been very cavalier with flying it all over town since I got such a great deal on it. LOL.

      I will try to upload some video.

      Still cant believe Amazon let that snafu go out the door.

    • RE: EDIT: Microsoft Teams Edition Support - Yealink T58V's For Sale

      Got a few inquiries on price.

      I will do $155/each plus shipping. I don’t not have the original boxes to ship in.

      That’s pretty cheap considering they cost $280 new and I think retail well above that.

      If anyone’s in Ohio local pickup is welcome!

    • RE: What was your first PC?

      I was 6 when I was handed down a C64, bought a 286 out of the tradin post when I was 7 using paper route money. At 8 I had a couple 286's and an Apple IIe handed down to me.

      I also bought one of those 1980's portable 386sx units where it was like a metal suitcase and the keyboard folded out of the front to reveal a small green screen and two 5.5" floppy drives. I specifically remember dragging it in to a Frisch's Big Boy while my mom wasnt paying attention and setting it up by a power outlet. lol.

    • RE: Post Your Throwback IT Pics

      You know @scottalanmiller with all the VPN skirmish it never occurred to me that my first IT/Voice business I had for just a couple years was called... "Virtual Public Networking" or VPN...

      This was the day we put up our sign by the highway where our office was...

      It was a while before I could afford to get the clock turned on. A lightening strike had taken it out...

    • RE: Who is Hostadillo?

      I am about to sign up for an Envato site, but would like to get setup on Hostadillo instead if that is an option.

      And my point in case being, how many people already would have signed up if @scottalanmiller had thrown his name behind it. So I don't see a scandall. Just cautiously moving forward.

      But I also could understand why he would delay until he was sure everything was going to work right. If Hostadillo sucked, then he would have his name tied to it. Reasonable in a beta phase to not put it out there.

    • RE: domain controller in the cloud for small office?

      I spent a lot of time going in a circle on this earlier in the year. Basically, Scott was right... Azure AD doesnt do what you want. I spent a lot of time showing Scott he was wrong, spinning up Azure Domain Services, but it ended up Scott was still right and it was just a managed cloud instance of AD. For small business starting at $90 didnt make sense.

    • YouTube TV

      Got YouTube TV installed on my Sony Bravia (Android TV) today and I got say... this beats everything hands down. I've been chromecasting until now and that's been mostly fine with me.

      Anyone else using this this?

      So far I've used these Live TV services...

      • Sling (worst delays)
      • Hulu Live (UI/UX designers are on drugs)
      • DIRECTV Now (a distant runner up)

      Haven't user PlayStation TV but I can't imagine I would ever be swayed.

      Plus with YouTube Music/Red Family plan I gave all my kids there own account for free, as well as my parents. Everyone has there own unlimited Cloud DVR

      $7 part to maybe fix a $45 unit. Might not be worth the effort.

      That sounds like the 27 year old me talking to the 37 year old me.

    • RE: Tabs everywhere - how do you deal with many open tabs?

      I end up dragging the browser bar to desktop to create shorts, which results in a hundred shortcuts covering my desktop

      @dafyre said in What Are You Watching Now:

      We just started watching The Sinner on USA Networks. It's a good show so far. The premise is the lady kills a guy right at the beginning of the show... and now they're working backwards to figure out the why.

      Sounds like an idea I have for a show... real similar. Except a guy gets marred in the first episode, then for 15 seasons tries to figure out why...

    • RE: FusionPBX benefits

      @babak said in FusionPBX benefits:

      Re: FusionPBX: implementing/using ??

      Hi
      Fusionpbx has a friendly irc channel mcrane( main developer) and others kindly answers questions, also there is new wiki at: link text and also there are many useful video tutorials on youtube.
      For people wanting to try there is a straight forward install script at: link text
      Fusionpbx is not just a Gui for powefull freeswitch IPPBX, it adds many feature to Freeswitch like: unlimited extensions, voicemail-to-email, music on hold, call parking, call center, call queues, phone provisioning and many other features. It provides the functionality your business needs and brings corporate level phone system features to small, medium and large businesses(multi-tenant).

      sigh

      This isn't accurate at all. Fusion may do some things its own way but freeswitch has nearly all these features natively.

      Its been argued and discussed several times here since I dug this project up and FreePBX is defintely more for the IT admin and FusionPBX is a starting point for a reseller business.

      I have sent a lot of people from other discussion forums to Fusion and many have come back with endless questions to the point that they have signed up to resell ulingo.com services.

    • RE: MTU size > 1500

      https://support.polycom.com/content/dam/polycom-support/products/Voice/polycom_uc/other-documents/en/2015/BLF_HuntGroups_EA91820.pdf

      Page 3 half way down

      Can all VVX Business Media Phones handle 50 BLF lines out of the box?

      Due to screen limitations of the phone hardware, there are limits on the number of BLF lines that can be monitored, depending on the phone model. These limits are purely a factor of the number of physical line keys available on each phone.

      If more than the maximum number of lines is configured, the phone will not monitor those additional lines.

      To reach the maximum of 50 BLF lines, expansion modules must be attached to the phone.
