      What do you expect for a crappy no-name brand?

      Them to fulfill their promised obligations. But I wouldn't have called HannsG/Hannspree a no-name brand, they are definitely low end but their brand has been around for quite a while and they make decent monitors.

      They are a chinese no name brand. and they are not decent monitors.

      They are a Chinese named brand and they are decent monitors for the price. Feel free to add a discussion here, or we can go back and forth contradicting each other and getting no where.

      I was adding my thoughts. You posted in a public forum, if you don't like comments don't post.

      Our company just made it against the rules to smoke even if it's legal in your state. No matter if you are doing it for recreation or medical reasons (on or off the clock)

      Is that legal?

      Of course it is. Pot is a federal crime still.

      HA - I have no idea where Jason's company is, I was assuming he was talking about cigarettes, not weed.

      Why would you think that?

      Everyone in our company gets drug tested randomly at least once per month. If you work on site they draw your name for that day and you go do it and a breathalyzer on site. If you work from home they draw your name that day and they have to go to their doctor and have it done.

    • RE: Sophos or WebRoot Cloud Endpoint Advanced - Any Thoughts???

      @wrx7m said in Sophos or WebRoot Cloud Endpoint Advanced - Any Thoughts???:

      I hope their (Sophos') endpoint software is better managed than their UTM software has been this past year. Several updates have broken some pretty important things. I have 4 pending updates because I don't see a resolution to some of the items. One update fixes something, then breaks 2 more things. The next update doesn't even address some of the issues that were broken by previous updates.

      I had a cheap subscription to webroot for my personal desktop and am looking for another "sale". I installed sophos free endpoint on my parent's pcs and they haven't been having any related issues or malware infections.

      Can't even compare the two. UTMs suck. And sophos UTMs is not a true sophos product. It's astaro

    • Nexus 6P issues

      So does anyone have any ideas when the BLE (bluetooth Low energy) will be fixed on Nexus 6P with Android N? It kinda sucks cause all our vending machines at work use it for payment.

      and Cisco Jabber is still broken on the Nexus 6P still does it on Android 7: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197579#makechanges

      Cisco Jabber MEH, would be nice. But the BLE is very important to me..

    • RE: Blackberry is Done, No More BlackBerry Phones

      Say what you want about their outdated OS And methodology. But their BES was one of the best MDM solutions, iOS and Android MDMs aren't near as powerful, and they are much easier to bypass.

      It really bends you mind when you think of an 8 processor chassis.
      In this case you would need 4 licenses to just be allowed to run two VMs, you would need 8 licenses to run four VMs, etc.

      Like an HPE Integrity.

      Cloud@Cost was running 8 CPU servers with VMware and windows I believe. All legally licensed I'm sure.

      They had no Windows. You couldn't even get Windows from them. You had to supply your own and had to license the entire cloud for a single VM that you might want to run.

      They had it.. just not licensed haha.

      Just look at how badly broken Cisco products are thanks to the NSA. Should we still trust made in America companies?

      Cisco Products aren't insecure due to the NSA (unless you bought from the blackmarket but who would a buy a security device from an untrusted source). They exploited vulnerabilities in them just like they have every single brand out there. It's not if you can get it, it's when. Every device can be hacked. That's why monitoring is just as important.

      Don't forget that we've known that someone is intercepting these devices when going through customs and doing things to them, and that is as much as we know.

      Only the black market ones. Not authorized Cisco Dealers.

      Don't do work for them before you are hired. This sounds like a scam to get work done without pay.

      BTW this type of fiber is sometimes called Dark Fiber.

      I used to refer to the fiber between our two buildings that we own completely as dark fiber, and I was filleted on SpiceWorks for it.

      Fiber you own isn't normally dark fiber. Dark fiber is the extra strands ISPs aren't using.

      It's leased it would be insane to own fiber over multiple states. It's likely TWC/Level3 or Verizon owned.

      @Mike-Davis said in Small office:

      Is it really that much cheaper for DSL? Since the fiber is already built out, won't they let you drop the speed/rate? Normally they don't like to decrease their minimum monthly spend, but if you're going to leave them entirely, they might make an exception.

      It's leased fiber to our data center, not internet fiber. Internet pipe comes into the datacenters. Yes it's a major difference DSL is like $40/month.

      Why pay the Cisco tax? Use and ERL instead. Or an ER-X

      We standardize on Cisco and have plenty of hot spares for home workers.

    • Small office

      We are shutting down some of our operations in Ohio. Some of the employees in the office will stay until they retire. We will be removing all servers. My current plan is to setup an Cisco ASA running on the 10mb DSL we will be getting (we are ditching the leased fiber) and run IP helper on that to point to one of the DHCP servers (over the VPN) long lease time, give out AD DNS first as normal and Google DNS secondary (not something we usually do but this setup has more chance of failure.)

      Any thoughts?
