While I agree with all the arguments above, it is also true that there are things like selective wipe possible. But as stated it comes down to how much you wanna pay for the product to do something like that. As an employee I would be perfectly comfortable with allowing control of my device to a limited sandbox like that.

Of course she wants to have to trust your employer when they say that’s all they can do with the solution they are using.

Well guess what I will just get the cheapest smartphone like Nokia 2.1 and that is my "personal" work phone, I think this is the only way to manage that kinda of crap, Im sure managment will be happy and this is what they want, for employees to PurchaseYOD, which is fine I will handing them a frekn 512mb RAM android phone, let us see what kind of app will be installed there ? hell it will crash every 10 seconds

maybe this

or this

What a freekn shame, i cant beleive I had more freedom in my previous workplace than I have in Canada, and I lived in what you guys call third word developing countries, hell we even made more progress, where I work now everything is blocked, even SSH to other servers that is not company servers are blocked, that mentality is so stupid, and basically tells you we dont trust you. YOu should worry on hiring good people and thats it. Why do you do all the refernces check, and job checks then limit your employees and constantly monitor them ?

If it wasnt for certain family conditions I would go back

We did warn you, didn't we?

an FYI in case anyone cares... athenaNet has a single user database for their entire system. So if you work at two different hospital/clinics that both use athenaNet, then you only have one account that accesses both systems...

So all it really takes is someone that has changed jobs a number of times to companies that all use this same athenaNet?

@Donahue said in Anyone play around with VR?:

I read about the Hololens2 yesterday, it seems promising. The $3500 price tag isn't ideal but if it worked might be worth it. But I don't know how far I could test or confirm that a system like this found function for us without just buying it and testing it. It may have to end up being one a speculation cost if it doesnt work out, but all of this stuff is completely new to us. I think we have applications for both VR and AR, depending on the circumstances, but I think that AR is probably the harder one to pull off.

From what I'm hearing, AR is starting to be used in a lot of companies for things like airplane mechanics. Making for smarter, faster reacting, remote hands.

This is more than a little random, but I've had drivers for HP printers cause issues with Excel after the computer was updated to W10 1903 this week. Fix is simple, remove the PCL6 driver and install the universal print driver.

Just reserved a uhaul trailer to move the last of my stuff from the Cleveland apartment. Going to be out of there and back home in Amish Country.

Day three dealing with Intuit who can't make QB work at all.

We just started using QuickBooks here for a class. The software looks kind of dated to me.

Literally abandoned in the 1990s according to insider sources. Its' ancient client/server design with some shared file DB that's just insane.

Yep, almost guaranteed to loose data at some point through no fault of anything but the program.

Have you made it through the bait-n-switch "tier1" yet?

Have the developers gotten it to be stable in the past year? When I looked at it a bit over a year ago, you couldn't install it the same way twice and get a working system.

I went with the ER-4 and a Unifi AP-Lite. Works perfect, and I'll just have to maintain it.

However, did anyone see Ubiquiti's new release? https://store.ui.com/collections/routing-switching/products/unifi-dream-machine

Like all consumer stuff, who wants this crap in the middle of their living space?

I think the same way. This stuff should be hidden. I don't understand why companies think they should spend resources designing something "pretty."

Or mixing things together... the firewall and the AP.. generally, even at home they would not be in the same places.

I guarantee they'll sell a bunch of those things. Mostly because people will think an all-in-1 device will make things "easy".
