We're pretty low call volume at the office today - so I'm Looking into Azure Fundamentals
Boy that's jumping straight into the deep end...
why not start with something like - admining O365 for SMB?Wtf? No it's not. That's probably the best move he can make, or a similar path for AWS.
You're right - it won't be useful to him at his current job at all, but to get the hell out of it it could be great.
On the otherhand, I could see his current company could look to support O365 for clients, and their chances of using Azure stuff (other than AD of course) is likely very low.

Let's take the discussion to the thread -
No, lets argue it here. I think we should all get NC Certified
You're bored , eh?

on by default. and not an extension. it is cooked in.
If you are shopping on a site that has a coupon code to reduce the price, do you not want that? I use them all the time, but I've never seen that come up. I did look and it is enabled, perhaps not as popular for stores here?
Or is it not showing relevant coupons? Curious....
I thought I do remember it asking me at one point if I wanted to have it enabled.

Good morning all, just getting to coffee here.
More coffee sounds good. . . so does lunch.
Lunch, what's that? At least I've finally clocked out.

organising music on my phone
-
hobbling together an old DELT620 out of 3.
-
Working from home the rest of the day and using up my remaining PTO for the rest of this week and all of next week - Quality time with the kiddo, as well as personal development.
-
Doing Raspberry Pi builds for computers shipping out tomorrow.

Finished making an introduction video for Rumble. Won't be abandoning YouTube, but I figure I may reach some new audience members by sharing stuff on Rumble.

Please pause while I go in to shock that a legacy company actually spec'd their product legally compliant with Microsoft T&C.

@JaredBusch Ah, Sage. . .

Holy Crackballs!!!
I'm dealing with this exact type of issue this morning.

I just looked up the EULA again on this:
(iii) Device connections. You may allow up to 20 other devices to access the software installed on the licensed device for the purpose of using the following software features: file services, print services, Internet information services, and Internet connection sharing and telephony services on the licensed device. You may allow any number of devices to access the software on the licensed device to synchronize data between devices. This section does not mean, however, that you have the right to install the software, or use the primary function of the software (other than the features listed in this section), on any of these other devices.
Which brings me to a question for the particular setup I'm working on.
Device is a piece of lab equipment, than connects to software running on a windows box, which then sends that data to a third party.
Do you think someone could successfully argue that the data coming form the lab equipment is just "syncing" with the server? It is a one-way sync of data.I do not think this is the intent of that portion of the EULA, but sadly I could see some trying to skate by on that.
Don't FFS me Jared - I'm just prepping myself for some lame excuse they might try to pull.

Kudos to them.

This is mostly pretty easy to track down... HOW does it send? Is it using SMB, NFS, HTTP?

You could, maybe, if the Windows box is not doing anything else. But you said yourself that it is, it's sending the data on somewhere else. There's no need for the Windows box if that was all that it was doing (being a network pipe). It's doing something else here or they'd have had their device send directly on to wherever the data is going.
It's not impossible to say that it's just syncing to and then syncing again from. It's just incredibly unlikely to be what is happening.

I honestly would guess that it is. I mean, the REAL reason is for backups. But realistically, if it is used purely as a passing stop on a data transfer, I think that they are fine with that. A pipe, so to speak, doing no work of its own except file in, file out. But if it is doing anything with that file in the middle, then it's a different animal.

This is exactly why I posted this here.
I'm not sure why the lab equipment can't talk directly to the Laboratory Information Management System (LIS) instead of going through an onsite middle man.
I could guess that the lab equipment network setup is so bad they can't make secure connections, as at least one option.
Also - the lab equipment is not provided by the data collection company, they are completely different companies (Siemens - lab equipment, RelayMed - LIS). -

I'd say "less than a 50% chance", but definitely possible that they are just using the Windows machine to make the network connection the "customer's problem."
