Hello all, again..

My name is Will, Im 19 will be 20 in a couple months, I took a class in Middle School based on Cisco. So I have a basic idea on It, but really nothing further. I have a almost 2 year old son who loves to sit in front of the computer with me as I work, I think ive watched the minion movie on Netflix at least 100 times since my son became obsessed.

The start of my day included Coffee and ML is more or less my newspaper every morning reading forms.I was asked to join ML by My Uncle, who you all know as @Dashrender
Im learning everyday and the more I read, and take part in conversations and the hands on experience I feel my skills improving little by little.

Not to mention making sure I use the right terminology

edit Im interested in sever OS operations as well as Networking ( blame it on Cisco class from middle school) have a little practice in writing HTMI, which has to be my least favorite thing in the world of Computers. One day im hoping to have a job as network Admin or something along those lines.

Me: No we cant see your site online. . .

Customer: But we have internet.

me:Yes I know you have internet. but you are still running Windows XP, and Windows XP doesnt support net frame work 4.2 or higher which is what is needed to run the Command Center Agent (our Remote desktop software) .

customer: what am I paying you for then ? arent you guys supposed to notify me.??

Me: Yeah, and we did.. multiple times actually . however we don't upgrade the OS for free ( not my policy).

Customer: What am I paying all this money for then?

Me: For me to tell you you need to upgrade your OS, and for us to fix your many issues you've had . Everything is well documented and what you are paying for compared to what you get is actually really fair based on your call loads.

Customer: Can I speak to someone else?

Me: they will tell you the same thing... but sure, here's My Boss.

Im ready for tequila.

Update - No one in the house is showing symptoms. No fevers or anything - Doctor said if we dont show symptoms by friday (this week) we can end our quarantine.. SO far So good.

any veterans here?

If so Thank you for your service and happy veterans day.

Back to the original Thread -

Heard from the Network company - they also agree 2 APs are too close together and could be causing a lot of the issues here. They will be doing maintenance next week about this to get it resolved for testing purposes.
He is building a map and looking into other solutions, and he talked with the owner and let him know he was engaged and that we were working together to get this resolved.

So we had a meeting to discuss moving forward and my boss made this comment :

"Guys, Dont be afraid to get on to the forum and list servers via email and ask questions. Will, You are really good about getting the question out there and asking questions giving information. Keep that up and dont be afraid to use it as we move forward."

SO Thank you ML for teaching me how to ask questions in an open forum such as this one

Just finished filling my Taxes Not getting much back but I literally doubled my income from a year ago today.

I had 3 projects at the beginning of the week last week that are all now complete.

I am seeing project spawn projects that should be separate projects after the initial project is finished... It is a cascading mess...

Good on you for proving that they should reconsider they process / policy.

they wont sadly because of the "onsite" aspect of the job.
but When it's available I enjoy working from home.

So negotiate to work from home 3 days a week or something. Not that they'd let you... But it never hurts to ask.

haha that would be an awesome conversation

test results are still pending from Mondays test. so still working from home, and taking my son across town to school every morning. (his mom is going to mexico so regardless if i'm sick i have to watch my son.. )

The school is allowing him to go while you're out on a covid test? hmmm.. that makes TONS of sense!

I Finished the 5 day quarantine without him - and my test results are delayed due to number of tests.

Results came back positive- Yay.

Dang it - Hate to hear that. But - the clock still ticking away..

My Big boss just called me to check on me since I let them know I tested positive.
Told her I've been working this whole week and most of last week with it - she was surprised.

If you have the resources to work from home, that helps... and more over if you aren't feeling bad. If you can save your time, that's good for family things later..

We all have the ability to work from home but they dont like it because "youre job is done in the office - less distractions" which is absolutely bullshit. I got more work down this last week at home than I did the last 2 weeks in the office because of pointless conversations and less than adequate work to do in the office.
I had 3 projects at the beginning of the week last week that are all now complete.

Labs are overwhelmed.. as long as neither of you are sick or feeling bad.

Oh it took almost a week to get the test taken anyway so I'm sure they are very much overwhelmed.

So far so good hoping it comes back negative but still working from home.

@gjacobse said in Windows 11 auto upgrade?:

Heh - I don't have to worry about Auto Upgrade as every computer I have is not compatible with it. One computer is so unsupported - 21h1 BSODs the damn thing...

I'll get 11 when I replace them,.. and I'm not about to replace every one at the same time...

Out of curiosity, how many workstations would that entail?

At the min - five: Two adults and three kids. If I decide that I need to dedicate one to the Laser - that could be Linux- so anything 'as old as three years' would be fine. I think I remember reading that LightBurn is cross platform - in which case - IDC - I could use one of the device I have moved to Ubuntu...

ETA - As many as four will likely need to be 'gaming class' computers.

LOL - I'm sure Travis figured you were talking about work...

I mean, so did I..
