My first smartphone was a Palm Treo 650 I picked up around 2005, and I even had a GPS bluetooth adapter and SD card filled up with a map of the US and Canada during my truck driving days. You can put the geek in a truck, but you can't make him any less geeky!

We've had that (we being Linux) for how long now?

Depends on what you use to browse files on Windows and Linux. Linux file browsers aren't really part of the OS like explorer.exe or the built-in file browser.

The file browsers in Linux are all separate projects, just like how Clover3 and Explorer++ allows you to have multi-tabbed file explorers.

So I guess you could say that we (we being Windows) have also had that for how long now, too.

P.S. I like Linux more than Windows, so I'm just saying...

In the same vein, Linux isn't an OS. So at the kernel level, neither Linux or NTKernel have that now. Both have OSes built on top of them with file browsers. So the Linux eco-system OSes have had this for eons, WIndows just got it. Using Linux is bad here, but using Fedora, Suse, Ubuntu or whatever makes more sense.

Ya it was just easier to say Linux to reference all of the distros.

takes pictures when it thinks it should

Like all angles of everybody's faces... sounds like a great idea.

Still working for me...

Well, why does my phone refuse to connect a call with hangouts.... oh yeah.... Motorola, gr!

Billing Admin can only manage bills, password admin can only reset regular users accounts.

Weechat. Is much better and modern than IRSSI.

@trustserve said in Turn your Twilio account into a full PBX:

bigbear... i am interested in this. i would love to use just twilio and not have to fiddle with another pbx. open to beta testing or releasing your set up to someone else?

so can my people connect via webrtc? or is this a sip phone only thing?

I have been getting messages about this over the past month out of the blue for some reason.

So out of the box you can register endpoints to Twilio now and use WebRTC

https://www.twilio.com/voice/sip-registration

https://www.twilio.com/webrtc

My idea was to use the serverless code model to create the missing features of a PBX, but I had to slim down a light weight softswitch from other projects to handle presence and to translate DSS/Phone commands to something that could call a Twiml Bin or Twilio API.

The quality and SIP registration leans on Twilio while some things that Twilio doesnt offer leans on a 3rd party app engine instance.

I have thought about developing this further, but it seems trivial for Twilio to add these features themselves. I havent check in on Twilio updates since last year but I thought Studio would obviate the need for some of the things I was doing. I feel like as soon as I made something distributed everyone would find a way to break it or Twilio would release those features.

If you dont need presence or extension transfers from a hard phone Twilio does everything you want out of the box. Complex IVR and transfers down to your SIP phone.

This is something I am interested in. I'm coming from FreePBX and Elastix and really just need some core features to start off like the ones you described and custom build out from there. My goal same as yours eliminate need for a PBX and do everything through Twillio.

I already have SIP registration working on Twilio and calls between endponts. Things that I need are BLF to work which Twillio doesn't support out of the box and I would like transfer, music on hold and voicemail to work. This would be a good start and custom build other things. Is this a project still under development? I would be interested in trying on would host on my own VPS or GCP for testing. Any information would be of help as I'm looking to do something similar regardless. Thanks

Also have you implemented or tested twilio Sim cards? I have active Sims and would like to plug in as an endpoint if it's possible.

You want a PBX without a PBX.

@scottalanmiller - If you did a fresh install/custom image that didn't come from Lenovo, how would it be compromised?

For some Lenovo products, the compromises are hidden in the UEFI and get installed directly from the hardware. For others, they are the only available drivers for the hardware (Lenovo uses modified hardware so that it doesn't match generic drivers) so any working drivers end up bringing the compromises with them. Lenovo's claim to fame is getting past any and all "if I did this, how would the hack me" statements. They've made their hardware itself compromised in some cases.

I had an annoying experience with their support recently when they ddin't have a mobo in stock for the owner's yoga thinkpad 460 for almost a month. I wasted so much time calling them several times a day and getting the run-around. I can't tell you the number of times a different person told me, "I don't know who told you that, but that is not correct".

I am looking at going back to Dell. We use Dell for desktops and servers but I did like the thinkpads better (and so do my users).

I've had zero good dealings with Lenovo. Even the better ones aren't good and the bad ones are really bad.

You visit Huly, decide that they are jerk faces, and leave. Maybe you'd have unblocked them, had they not blocked us.

This is so incredibly unlikely as to not be worth even discussing.

Normal people who turn on ad blockers will never turn them off, unless that's the only way to get the content. Those who troll around these parts are the rare few that might find real value in disabling them to provide funds back to the sites we visit.

Maybe, but that's not the point. The point was they block people who block ad blockers, it's not about the ads.

@bigbear said in Software to manage Service & Parts Business:

So it seems waveapps doesn't do inventory, and Xero has it built in. And it doesnt appear waveapps have integrations with any other software or an API?

I am actually going to checkout Wave for myself now though seeing as they just added recurring billing. Bummer it doesnt have any way to support invenory, unless I am missing something.

It is just a basic invoicing program really it's not a full accounting system

This actually all started from looking at them for colo. At least I know their network is good.

Still looking for VPS on Hyper-V thought for RDS application.

Dropped price as I am going to UPS today.

Guess I will put a sale on this today. Free shipping. Trying to make one trip to UPS as everything left in garage is likely going to storage unit this weekend.

Not that I don't think ML needs a market place, I don't think it fits with the focus of the community.

Posting you have things to sell here is perfectly fine, but adding a market place would be odd. It's super simple to tell who the real people are on ML. They may be in the market looking for something, or they may know some one who is looking and can recommend them to come buy from you.

It could also be me as I have been trying to clean out my garage for months, and yet I hate to take things like that to goodwill. I got a little bit of my own office space for my new little startup, but there the stuff in my garage would fill up a whole 1 (of 3) offices.

This bad boy is sold. Thanks for all the inquiries.

Really do think a MangoLassi Gear "Topic" would be a good idea.

The T38 was EOL over a year ago

The T38G will be a large step forward over the SIP-T20P I have currently.

As long as the handset lifter and headset works with it,.. it's not a problem with me.

What's the model of your headset?

I truly expect it to work fine.

It's the Jabra Pro 9460

Yeah, and I sell to several companies who do nothing but refurb and sell these with a 1 year warranty. Lots of businesses install used stuff I guess.

I like the 38g better than the T4 series,

How? the T3X series has noticable lag when dialing. That is a game breaker to me.

If I could only figure out who was buying them all I would cut them out and sell like they do.

There are 4 or 5 big guys selling on Ebay so I gave up. But one who buys from me doesnt have the volume of outgoing sales for these models so I can't figure out who they deal with. I would guess maybe some larger enterprise customers with similar models deployed?
