@Dashrender I believe a little ol lady would be able to convert it.

@dafyre There we go. lol.

@Dashrender I put my laptop where most people put their keyboard. I like the setup.

@Dashrender I have a varidesk and it is easy to use and convert. Great product!

@JaredBusch I've never ran into it myself either. I got a good laught from it as well.

@JaredBusch Gotcha. Good way to do it.

@lance No on prem exchange here.

Awesome. Anyone use it for IIS? It looks like using Certify is the best way to set it up?

Anyone using this? Looks like it's supported by all browsers.

I think I would have drifted towards teaching or becoming a pharmacist. How about you?

I always get a little worried when a Amazon Echo commercial is on and then my dot lights up...

@JaredBusch Awesome, just found it.

@Dashrender Thanks. Totally forgot about tagging until after I posted it.

Great list I found from reddit that I thought I would share here.

Also, here is a link to the thread with verification from the /r/ransomware mod showing it is legit and not a hoax. https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/5m8131/list_of_ransomware_with_decryptors/

@travisdh1 I got a kick out of it.

How does everyone feel about about this setup? It says it could be used in enterprise, but is there any benefits if your firewall already has IDS? Is this more geared towards home use?

Ubiquiti gear is so much better, it's worth spending the money not to be saddled with Meraki stuff

Wow. Sorry for trying to give people access to free gear.

Attended the webinar, spoke to Cisco rep afterwards, did not want to send the gear. Number of Meraki installs I've done = 0. Number of Ubiquity installs = Lots.

Cisco lost out on a lot of sales over that 1 botched webinar.

Yeah, to some degree the whole thing is a scam. If they want you as a customer, they send the gear without the webinar. If they think you are just going to use it at home or aren't going to be a big advocate for them, they don't send the promised gear even after you've "paid" for it by spending time in their marketing talk. They aren't honest and that alone is a reason to never use them - you can't trust them and as a security vendor, that's kind of important. You don't want con artists with control of your firewall and networking gear!

The more I search through reddit.com/r/homelab the more asshatery I find about not getting the gear. I'm going to challenge the Cisco rep that has been e-mailing me to just send me the gear without the webinar knowing it won't happen and in the meanwhile pickup some Ubiquiti stuff.

@travisdh1 Thanks! Great post that you linked to.

@scottalanmiller Gotcha. Do you or @Dashrender know of any way to get Ubiquiti gear for cheap? Is there any reason not to buy used or older Ubiquiti gear?

@scottalanmiller said in Get your free Meraki gear!:

It should never depend. They promise it and only sometimes deliver.

That's a good point! It's good to be reminded that we should expect more out of our vendors, because it seems like more and more these day promise everything, but don't deliver.

@Dashrender said in Get your free Meraki gear!:

I don't see a need to delete the post, or even the followup posts - if you're happy with a product, definitely feel free to talk about it.

I guess I was taken aback at first because of all of the other positive things I've read from people using them. I kind of reacted out of haste.

@scottalanmiller said in Get your free Meraki gear!:

Two because they know it is only valuable when you own lots of it and pay for their continuing accounts so they will make money anyway.

You do get three year licenses with it.

Wow. Sorry for trying to give people access to free gear.

I've heard a couple cases of people not getting the gear, but it seems like it depends on the contact you have from Cisco after the webinars.

@scottalanmiller This post was geared more towards adding tech to a homelab that you don't have extra cash for and not something I would do for enterprise.
