apparently there is a new name for Point of Sale systems that we are supposed to use in it's place - because saying "POS" could be confused for something else lol
so now we call them "Digital Ordering Systems" or DOS for short which I'm pretty sure DOS is already an acronym I just for the life of me can't remember what it stands for.
But POS works, because every single one I've dealt with are appropriately referred to either way.
Wondering how many times I'll have to shower before this cigarette smoke stink goes away. I'm here all day

Reading a DHCP v6 RFC document.
How fast did you fall asleep?
Luckily, it was only one section I needed to read (about DHCP options), so I was able to stay awake
You been learning all about IPV6? So - what can ya tell us about it ?
That no one is using it, hahaha.
LOL - that's for damned SURE!
Sadly - MS is using it.. when you disable it on Windows 10 you get all kinds of weirdness...
You're talking about Windows, it also acts crazy if you leave IPv6 turned on!

@gjacobse
what brand MFPs are those?My Canon's do fine with 1.2 to MS.
Do you set up the MFP with credentials from a M365 user?
Yep, need a licensed account, and the lowest priced one doesn't work. I forget what it's called at the moment, but you need a license that includes the local apps.
Even if you go with option 1, not sure why the lowest account with an email account wouldn't work?
Because the lowest cost email account is online only. A local device can't login.

@breitenberg said in Gaming PC Setup:
it is cheaper to build a gaming PC rather than buying a pre-built gaming PC. ... In most cases, the more expensive a prebuilt PC is, the more the cost of assembly and profit margin of the seller will be. Therefore, it is indeed cheaper to build a PC.
Have you seen how hilariously bad most pre-built computers have been lately? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY-SEPGvqxY&list=PLsuVSmND84QuM2HKzG7ipbIbE_R5EnCLM
Well, that made for an interesting Monday after a holiday weekend. Had a site down, internal network was all good but no internet. Turned out it was in the other building that's only at half-staff level this week and nobody realized any of the network was down in the other building where the internet connection is actually located.

How can this still be happening in nearly 2022.
No way to FML anymore at least I guess?

I'd like to see recent references; everything I have found hasn't been updated / linked to since 2019 about the 2014-2015 incident.
What has changed? Nothing.
Why should anyone keep reporting no news?
Exactly - There's nothing newer because they haven't been caught doing any dirty shit in the past 2-3 years. But at the same time - the same management is in charge, so why would we expect them to do things right?
I just confirmed Superfish is still around because of that laptop from last week that got sent back!
Not sure what you mean?
Of course - if you didn't uninstall the software and didn't update to the newer driver that removed Superfish, then it will still be around - just like the millions of machines that never get updated and have Melissa still running around the internet (ok maybe not millions today).
This was a laptop manufactured April 2021 from the factory. So I really don't care if there are alternatives available. Lenovo has proven to lie about it so often already that it's to much of a risk, and legal liability.

Was just asked:
James is starting his own business and needed a laptop to do Office work, Invoices, Quickbooks and the like,...Uh - Anything but Quickbooks first off.
I don't understand why they haven't fully gone to the cloud yet? They as in QB.
Because people keep buying their expensive **** local versions, and they know people would just switch to a competitor if they force everyone to the cloud version.
Just because the cloud version is the only one that is any good doesn't matter at all in this case. Besides, how else would they keep running their scam centers?

Actually went quite well. Management wants to start having conversations with clients about replacing every Lenovo.

Scary as this is coming from me, Microsoft Dynamics is much worse than even QB!
And a few days later, yet another patched version to fix the broken fix. Isn't security so much fun?

Happy day. We're returning a Lenovo, because it's a Lenovo.
I literally feel your pain.
Good luck, sounds like that will be tilting at windmills where you're currently employed.
I got lucky in the company meeting, they already had issues with Lenovo before I brought up the Superfish ongoing **** show.
Happy day. We're returning a Lenovo, because it's a Lenovo.

Thanks for dumping ice water down my back.... We use Lenovo for every laptop and desktop.
It's basically the only thing Lenovo is known for.
Knowledge of Lenovo's misdeeds is STILL unknown to most people. So I'm going to have to bring it up in the next all-hands meeting here
it will always be that way - because most people - including most business owners - hell likely even most IT - don't know don't care.
You have to know to not care. It's willful in most business owners. A desire to ignore info that is available and to avoid being informed by IT.
In this case, we are supposed to be acting as IT for our clients. Yet the people ordering equipment keep ordering Lenovo..... Latest one is for a PD
