Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Extra!

It's embarrassing how much of it I've drunk in the last two weeks.

Well, the ultimate managed switches are Meraki, but they aren't a cheap date by any means. The best mix of price and features to me have come from HP switches. The 1920's are good, and are clearly re-badged 3Com, but pretty solid.

Hah, a loop. Glad you got that sorted out!

Is-or was-there any documentation on the network?

So, duplex mismatch can happen with gigabit switches if the auto negotiate fails at the highest speed. Switches will default to the lowest speed, 10/half. There should be some lights indicating what they negotiated to. You can test by pinging the router from a client PC on each segment (or switch, i...

I had a pair of KEF Q10's a long time ago, paired with a Rotel RX-845 integrated amp. Ah, the British sound, laid back, but gets your feet stomping anyway. The Q10's were the best imaging speakers I ever owned, before I went straight to headphone-only listening. I assume the Q100's are even better. ...

Well, I'm more of a SysAdmin, but I have done some moonlighting as an editor. I'm in!

Since you did say 'high-end' and nobody else suggested it, the Dell Precision 5510 is all that. Basically it's the XPS 15 with better hardware and customization options. If you've got the scratch, it won't let you down!

I'm thinking you might need a hall effect keyboard...

I use Wi-Fi Analyzer on my phone for quick checks on wifi. For work I use Ekuhau and inSSIDer, though I might switch up to Acrylic. It looks good.

I was using ATT's provided DG-something with a Unifi AP-AC (the square one) for Wi-Fi. The AP-AC was kind of meh, but it didn't die and doubled as a space heater. Recently, I upgraded to Sonic fiber (gigglebits and LPB in one) which came with a Pace 5268AC router. It is not bad, actually, and the 11...

Hey, wow, learnt something. I was having this issue with my laptop, close it for the night and waking up to find it on with the lid closed. It would have been interesting to see what the powercfg said was waking it up, but I upgraded the install with my works Win10 EDU. Other things are weird, but a...

Hm, interesting. The DNS on the AD side may need a MX record for your mail server. Depending on who set it all up, the AD may also have and Exchange box to complicate the mix. Failing any of that, there may be a firewall between you blocking IP and/or ports. Good luck, sounds fun! Edit: Oh, yes, SOP...

Skins are a way to present branding, and as such is very important. Your carrier also wants branding, not just on the physical device, but also in the ROM (not to discount that every carrier has their own air frequencies and channels). You could also argue that not just Google gets the user data, bu...

Best post subject line for sure. I certainly couldn't do what Ryu did blindfolded, but the GRUB menu has saved my bacon a few times this year. Why didn't OP use that? Aggressive kernel purging?

Restarted my home WAP. These dang neighbors with their kilowatt Netgears are seriously crowding the air, man.

Oh, I also fixed a loop in a switch I replaced last night. Ooops. I may 'fix' my resume, too.

After a little bit of googling, I can say that the 6s camera is a 29mm, f2.2 lens, with a 12 megapixel, 1/3", 1.22um sensor. It can macro focus from about 2 inches from the subject, and on to infinity! DxOMark gives it an 82 out of 100. http://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles/Apple-iPhone-6s-review-Soli...

Trying to wrack my brains from CCNP Voice, but there's been a lot of beer between there and here, sorry. Just about everything nowadays is packetized, which means there's some sort of compression algorithm in the device being used to turn your voice into a network packet. I believe cell phones use a...

Sometimes it takes a little bit of massaging the management to spend the right money. It can be especially challenging to get agreement with leaders who've not had a LDAP system, or an IT department. There's lots of good reasons above, however. For AD deployments, you'll want two servers, and one of...

Well, now! I've been using a lot of Ubuntu lately as test servers for webapps that our staff want to try out. I like it a lot! We've got Wordpresses, Drupal, calendars and schedulers, and one very important import server for our student records. None of them (14.04 to 16.04) have been problem free, ...

No. We are reliant on data. Imagine a world where everyone and everything they do is a point of data: read, stored, and processed by a machine. I, however, depend on a bathroom being nearby when I must urinate. I depend on a chair to keep me at the proper height to type on my mechanical keyboard con...

I've been rocking the Coach Passcase for yeaaaars. The first one I got is a little worn, but it's 10 years old. I got a new one, naturally:

If you want good luck, put a crisp $100 in there and forget it's there.

We just did this last week, actually. The notification was not supposed to happen to AD joined machines, but it did anyway. Here's the Microsoft KB for a registry update: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3080351 We pushed out via GPO, a policy that added a registry key on the hardware side (yo...

OK, so I read this thread and thought, naw, I haven't done anything worthy of this thread in a loooong time. Then it dawned on me, yesterday while checking on servers and things from the Mac (that normally does all things wireless), I couldn't ping anything. Wow, interesting. No DNS even. Internet i...

Ooooh, can do! http://googlefiberblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/san-francisco-google-fiber.html And just about time! I imagine ATT/SF/Ed Lee Cartel wanted too much money to lease its dark fiber to Google. Hey, I'll even terminate it in my house for free. I'll be so glad to ditch DSL. So glad. So glad. Li...

Yep, I do a lot of this. The problem is the SID of the user account, which Windows tries its best to keep unique. I've noticed that Win10 is even more a stickler of the SID than other Windows. So, the best way is to copy it off, do the install, create a user with the same account name and log into i...

No problems here on Chrome (chrome://plugins - flash v20.0.0.267), but I did read that Adobe is getting set to kill off Flash because of the security problems. There was an article I yesterday (that I can't find now, of course) that showed Flash has something like 3 or more vulnerabilities discovere...

As of 10565, you should be able to use your Win 7 key to activate after a clean install. There is a system utility, that I can't remember the name of for the life of me, that writes the current config to a file. Copy that file to the new install and Win 10 will activate from that. Win 10 (and I thin...

Hah. That's rich. Because of this thread I just went through an AMD to nVidia video card change, then upgraded to Win10 just to see if Witcher 3 stuttered. Hey, I'll take inspiration where I can find it. And it turns out to be the game controller :o :-? :roll: :lol: Keyboard+mouse for life, and Witc...

Hm, tools, no. Eyes, yes. Look at the cable. What color is it? What does the printing on the cable say? If you can unplug it for a little bit, look at the RJ45 connector, what are the colors of the conductors? Lastly, I use a Fluke Linkrunner if I think there's something funky with the cable, keysto...

Congrats on the mechanical keyboard. Once you start down the road, it's really easy to get obsessive about mechanical keyboards! I'm a MX Brown person myself, I like the tactile bump in the middle of the throw and a little heavier springyness for typing. But I'm gaming on MX Blacks, stiff and linear...
