      Yeah - this is straight up spying - in some states this would be illegal!

      Which? Because most states I know the details of, this is 100% employer right.

      Often if disclosed, but yes. Because it is the employer's system, after the point of sending. There's no assumption of privacy. It's not like cracking someone's encryption.

      @WrCombs said in Frist time Headset ?:

      Mentioned that I was having issues with my headset to one of my coworkers - I guess we have a standard issue headset offered by the company.

      https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WJRMW17/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_3YW5JM7SC9CNTRGQGTVK_0?th=1

      It does seem kinda weird that either a) they supply you with one or b) they reimburse you for providing one of your own.

      Though perhaps we don't have all the information.

      I'm not following

      do they
      a) pay for a headset OR
      b) reimburse you for one you buy yourself?

      Using a headset is basically a requirement for a softphone (and since you're now work from home support - I fully expect you'll spend the better part of your day on the phone - so you'll want a headset for that so really that should be a business expense).

      ah, they bought it and it'll be here tomorrow.

      It looks pretty decent to me. The Evolve2 40 has a more advanced mic though with more suppression of unwanted noise and the Engage 50 is better and much lighter. But it's hard to beat free 🙂

      I think you'll be very pleased with it.

      @WrCombs said in vLANs random question.:

      @dafyre said in vLANs random question.:

      The short answer is you would get the Router to route between the two VLANS, and fix it so that only the Payment devices have access to the internet.

      if this was an on prem system, that would world. but this is a cloud system so both need access to the internet..

      Actually that makes it make more sense. It's minimal value, but that doesn't mean zero. It will improve security and simplify audits if they are both SaaS connected devices like that. Not a big deal, but not bad, either.

      So how would you make that work? just using firewall rules, to let the 2 talk to pull transaction information?

      If they talk only to the hosted apps, the intercommunications should be on the server, not the client. Is that not correct?

      If you need devices on two different LANs (vLANs are just LANs without physical separation) then communications between them is always through a router, and routers are firewalls. So first you have to build a route, then block traffic, then allow the traffic that you want.

      in a "normal" IT system, that would be the case, as I'm sure you know.
      POS however, the Pin pads talk directly to the Register to pull that transaction data to the Pin Pad - otherwise the pin pad wont know how much to charge the credit card -

      Then you need to connect the two VLANs, effectively defeating the purpose. It's not entirely defeated, it is still a secondary firewall but only replicating the vastly more important local firewall.

      ROFMAO - like the terminals have firewalls - HAHAHAHAHAHA

      on this particular system (which I am the Admin for) Windows firewalls are required to stay on - for all 3 options no matter what.

      See!! Firewalls!

      @dafyre said in NIC issue windows 7:

      In the Network Adapter options, disable anything that says power managment.

      There's a couple of power management options on the NIC, but IIRC there's some bus-related power management options in the power-profiles. I've seen the NIC-related options take an interface off-line, but where you're saying that it's disappearing completely, I'd be more inclined to look at PCI or chipset drivers and settings.

      @irj said in Windows 11 auto upgrade?:

      Yeah. I have windows 10 on my home pc with auto updates and it only asks me if I want to upgrade. It never forces me or does it without my consent.

      But if you do not give consent, it will update without your consent anyway (after some time) 🙂
      You just can't stop updates on Windows 10, only delay it for some time.

      I can view all the files from the tgz file after extracting to tar files. but can't actually open or read the files inside of there.. The issue with this is when they send me logs, the logs are also in TGZ files..

      I figured it out -
      I have to open the archive in 7zip -after extracting, then use notepad++ to open the file, and it is readable in English to me.

      Thanks !

      Looks like going on site is still required because I have no idea if IIS is already installed - my guess is it isn't.

      oh well, good information to have if I ever need it in the future.

      Yeah, if you're going on site - skip all this and just put on VNC.

      my thoughts exactly, But I figured if there was a way to do this without having to go on site, it would make it so much easier.
      guess I can mark this as solved.

      I have approx. 12.5 hour of driving ahead of me next week. (6hours one way+ driving around the city)
      Looking for Audiot Book or Podcast Recommendations to keep me somewhat sane during my time in the car.

      Someone recommended “gluten is not your problem “ to me but I’m not really a podcast person so I haven’t listened to more than a few minutes.

      sounds like it's about food..

      I think there’s more than just food from what I was told but I’d hazard a guess that there’s a lot about food

      interesting, Thanks!

      but when the questions are "you need 4 networks which subnet mask would you use on this ip: 10.1.1.25"

      That's gibberish. There's no way to know based on what is stated.

      I probably missed the actual question.. but questions similar to that confuse me.

      It's all math and high school style word problems. It's all about "to meet the requirements", what options would you choose so that the sizes are correct.

      You should never over lap channels that causes co-channel interference. If you have to then as stated above the AP's that are farthest physically apart should use the same channel.
      Also, I would turn off 2.4GHz unless you NEED IT and even then you probably don't NEED IT on all 4 AP's. Try just on 2 AP's to reduce interference and see what happens. Many cases in our offices I have either completely turned off 2.4 or I have it on only 1 AP and absolutely no complaints about wifi since I did that.

      @flaxking said in Azure or 0365?:

      I'd say there's probably more roles out there to move up into. Companies may be using Microsoft 365, but could be using other providers for their cloud infrastructure. They might also expect their cloud engineers to know multiple platforms. I had experience creating highly available environments on-premise before breaking into Azure.

      This is a good point. The number of M365 jobs out there probably outnumbers Azure jobs. And the M365 jobs typically need just one skill, whereas a typical Azure job will require many. And one is a logical step from helpdesk, and one is a total focus change.
