@Jimmy9008 For the pull out 1U KMM/KVM - make sure you have lots of room behind you / in the isle to pull it out. We have one and it always hits me square in the nuts when I pull it out.

Has anyone in the U.S. seen a really great conference room table with good cable management?

Such a thing does not exist. Once you get everyone sitting down and all the video cables, laptop chargers and ethernet comes out it's just a big pile of spaghetti

Don't crush my dreams Matt

We just banned laptops at meetings except for the note keeper. She types up the meetings and also runs a mic to record them.

Pen & paper, OCR scan for anyone who cares.

Oh wait, I mean... that sucks..........

It's no joke man, I need to reshuffle the rack so it's higher.

This is what happens when you work with all women lol no respect for common decency

(yes, that was a joke, the two ladies I work with really are truly awesome!)

Voted for ya, but you need to muster more support. Not looking good my friend.

Go samsung after you make sure your client has good fire insurance

There's a 32 for 188$ that I'd snap up in a heartbeat if 1080P is good enough

@gjacobse gimme.

LOL - I've not shared any with my brother yet... What offerings do you present for this Maple Smoked lump of goodness?

Hugs, socialized medicine and it being acceptable to wear plaid on any occasion.

I find that a slot and phillips #2 are enough for most.

Occasionally I have to break out the baseball bat or crowbar but those are really more for my pleasure than anything.

"BING THIS YOU BASTARDING THING!" - me, 20 mins ago.

Internet exploder has been raising my blood pressure for years now.

Just remember that if you buy some wacky tough superman rated cable you're going to have a bad time putting ends on it. Get pre-made lengths.

Big fan of the steel toed static dissipating slip on made by Mellow Walk (actually made by hand in Toronto!). I own 2 pair of these, they are that good.

After I got my current job I have begun to wear running shoes. Mostly because that's the shoe of choice at my (rather eccentric) work place. I wear dress pants, golf shirt un-tucked and running shoes - which is rather odd, but also much more fabric than many of my co-workers are wearing at any given time.

@gjacobse I like the proper docks better but hell yes - we have.... a half dozen?! of them in the office. Useful. Very useful.

My wife sent me this picture a few minutes ago. I could have sworn it was still standing before when I left.

What's all that white stuff?

My recent UAP-AC-PRO acquisition was a bust. Atrocious throughput compared to its predecessor. I went through all the settings per best practices. There's quite a lengthy thread on the subject over at the UBNT forums. Pretty disappointing.

Ah, I would not have seen that issue, because I have only used the UAP-AC-LITE so far. That LITE doe snot (and is not advertised to get) 1300mbps.

Sounds like the clients just don't have MIMO or enough streams to saturate it.

How many clients could one of the PRO ones support? I've got some high device density areas to cover.

I still have some IDE (PATA) drives of both 2.5 and 3.5"

I'd just simplify your setup by throwing the IDE drives directly into a fire!
