Sitting on hold with RingCentral. Been 70 minutes so far, to provision a single phone, that I could have provisioned to another system in five minutes. This is so silly. We haven't even gotten to a point where they've found someone that knows how to provision a phone yet!

You are supposed to just add the device yourself in the portal. I’ve done it more than once. Not an intuitive interface, bu not that hard.

We did. Didn't work. They did. Didn't work. They couldn't get anyone to provision the phone for hours. We do it all the time. Normally it just works.
-
We need to stop selling phones, the profits from supporting RingCentral, Weave, and SpectrumVOIP users are so much higher.

Birthday dinner shortly. Having sushi burritos!
-
user - can you fix this again please
me - oh, i looked at that last week, what's wrong?
user - turned it on and can't get in, it doesn't do anything
me - turn it on, logs straight in NFF. -
maybe needs a separate thread?
Any gamers here?
Thinking of getting a "gaming" PC for the daughter for her birthday (June). But been out of the PC game for several years (Since the Xbox 360 days
)At the moment all she will play is Fortinet, Xcom 2, City Skylines, Sims 4.
But i might want to play Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Battle Field.So being out of the loop. What sort of spec should i be looking at (with a budget of £1200 inc monitor 24" 120Hz?)
Was thinking to start
16G RAM,
500GB SSD (M.2 on the motherboard thing??),
i5 10th gen 2.9-3.0 GH or AMD equivalent (not up to speed with AMD never really liked them back in the day)
Motherboard that fits, case, psu, etc. -
With a budget already defined I'd look at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ and see what you can build to meet your needs.

That's one problem i don't know what to pick :D, i.e. what sort of graphics card would i need to get 60+fps on new versions of CoD or Counter Strike?
-
Um, well you'd have to look at what the games you're thinking you'd play for system minimum and recommendations and then go from there.
That website does a pretty good job of outlining the best part for the money you're spending.
-
Here's a very quick budget compatible build without the best of the best parts.
-
You could of course maybe save some of that money and install Linux as the OS instead, but you'd have to verify the games you want to play are supported.
Since you said this is for gaming, Microsoft Windows really owns that market....

Speaking of which, anyone still testing proton? I wonder how it's doing
-
@DustinB3403 Yeah need to research what games and the best graphics cards to use, then monitor and see what I can afford after that
-
Found this site
https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/game-based-computers/Might use it as a base then see what i can build buying separate components

Companies that use companies like you to do that - seem crazy!
But then again, the use of RC seem crazy too.
so - meh

@hobbit666 Monitors can be tricky, I use a basic HP monitor that supports 1080p max, spent $200 on it.
Its a basic monitor and I don't need anything crazy with color correctness etc.
-
@hobbit666 The monitor is the easiest part (cost wise) since you're doing 1080 gaming. What you want to do is try to reduce costs in smart ways. The cooler that Dustin provided is probably not bad, but its also not 100% necessary either. This is more than enough and its a fraction of the cost: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O65JXI?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
Just an example
-
Yeah I could've easily dropped the cooler for a basic heatsink and fan on it.
I stepped it up cause I wanted too lol....

sure but he can get more bang for his buck with a couple of tweaks to the list
