@art_of_shred I think I would try it as long as it wasn't raw/alive.

@scottalanmiller I don't know, get a snowmobile and you can go from Canada to the Pennsylvania border in ~15 hours... Although you need to like the snow.

One pastime of NY I always wanted to get into but never got the opportunity to.

Super fun, but a very expensive hobby. It helps that one of the main NYS trail corridors goes through my parent's yard.

@thegillion Can you provide a description of it? I guess I don't understand what it is supposed to do.

@ajstringham The feels man... the feels.

@Dashrender 1TB SSDs aren't that expensive if you are considering them for backup. Even the mid-range ones run between 400-500$ then you just need a 2.5" drive case.

@scottalanmiller I just finished my new hydronics system last night... last year we were regularly having frosted pipes etc... thankfully we didn't have anything frozen.

Yep, the UAP and UAP LR can't be powered by normal PoE, the UAP Pro can however.

@ajstringham It does have a GUI available although it is fairly simple. Do choco install ChocolateyExplorer, although that does get rid of some of the more powerful aspects of Chocolatey.

@Dashrender I'm confused, I thought that you were not doing something because you were not replacing the PBX. So you can replace all sites at once and use a single trunk for all calls?

Your original understanding is correct - I'm not replacing everyone all at once.

I'm only looking to replace one of my branches today.

When we look to replace or upgrade the system at our main location, we'll decide if we ditch the current vendor and move to something else, or stay with them and upgrade.

Unfortunately, upgrading will be less expensive in the short term. Replacing the old system entirely would require all new hand sets in the main location (approx 65) and possibly some recabling of the CAT 3 to 5e.

The phones would be approx $75/ea ($4875) plus POE switches (really don't want to be using power bricks), plus recabling, assume we have to do 3/4, at $100 a drop ($4875) Plus some software purchases for FreePBX and FOP2, etc.

I don't understand peoples' need to go PoE for phones. While I agree it can be handy, I look at it as one more thing to break. You have to buy PoE switches, which are, from what I've seen, a fair bit more expensive than standard switches. Upgrading the cabling would make sense though. Still, what's the big deal about plugging in one more cord for a phone?

Agreed, it is nice when you don't have a power socket handy... but most companies sell POE injectors for that occasion. In addition many phones now-a-days come with a 10/100(/1000) switch built in so running new wiring wouldn't be necessary if you already have a computer in the same room.

Man... does anyone else wish they had a human size hamster ball?

I may have to print some of those up... although I am one of the shorter people in my family (6'4") so I don't hear anything like that when I'm home.

Wow... I didn't realize that I am affected by literally all of those things. The good news is that my fiance is only 2 inches shorter then I am... So no awkward hugs or weird cuddling issues.

I prefer the ball-peen hammer approach but I didn't know an adjustable wrench was so versatile.

Well... the good news is that it was just me being lazy and not troubleshooting before I posted. Clearing the cache resolved the issue.

@ajstringham I noticed that with the VL site last year, functionality with Chrome became less and less as the year progressed.

@ajstringham Well that is annoying.... I will try and clear the cache on Chrome to see if that has anything to do with it... I would prefer not to use IE for this.

Is anyone else having the same issue?

I went to change one of my user's passwords this morning and got the following:

I am going to connect via powershell and change it just wanted to see if I was the only one.

@ajstringham It was happening quite a bit yesterday... I would say 3-5 times. I noticed it was more likely to happen in very active threads or large thread (like the Anything Goes Thread).

I've seen that error before, it happens with a .local domain on newer versions of windows... I just can't remember what causes it.
