that guy is awesome, damn. I want to start a petition to get him pardoned.

Agreed.
I say put him back in gen pop and then send all lifers for child crimes to his jail

I am preparing some phones for demo. These phones will not be part of the existing phone system of the potential customer, but I'd like them to be able to play with them for a couple of days for evaluation.

If there are three phones that are going out to the demo site; what would you program in those phones?

My first thoughts are:

1. Me!
2. One of the other phones
3. the other one of the phones
4. the office number of their existing office phone system
5. the local pizza place

Other's
Spouse's cell phone?
Co worker's cell phone?
A directory setup with all their co workers or vendors?

I also thought I'd let them choose some others after the phones are dropped off, to demonstrate how quick and easy it is to manage their phones.

etc?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Does anyone know if Comcast charges for DiD numbers? How much per month?

As a teenager; I too, was a Petroleum Distribution Engineer!

We use an offline windows update installer to get past issues like this (assuming you've exhausted all other fixes and troubleshooting options). Specifically we use: http://download.wsusoffline.net/

@dashrender said in VoIP Contracts - Do you have one?:

Wow - that seems like a potentially risky place to be. You could be out thousands of dollars in hardware fees if they try to walk away after a few months. I don't see how you don't have an attorney involved in the contract creation.

I will. But the attorney will handle the language to protect us. I need to provide the language that say what we will provide, under what terms, and what the termination fees will be.

I sip Lemoncello or Peachcello in the afternoon. Today is Peachcello.

@scottalanmiller I like the new intro.

@wrx7m We use Net and NetDom to automate most tasks like this.

I found the source.

Yup, took over two hours. But didn't change anything.

Okay. We use a Windows Update Reset Script when offline updater doesn't work.

@JaredBusch said in Chocolatey not available after being installed through ScreenConnect:

I guess you could cycle the screenconnect client service. That should do the same.

This did it; thanks. It's the only working solution short of a reboot. I did not want to connect to the client with SC so I pushed a re-install, it was current, so it just went through the motions and restarted the services. Perfect for my needs.

We were just shipped back a laptop from a terminated employee

Of course, if it was disgruntled termination, you could have some fun with threats of calling the police.....

Did you get this resolved?

@WrCombs said in Huge Mistake:

In my mind, Had I have done it the right way the first time, I wouldn't be in this situation,

We don't know why your boss made the decision he did, and honestly, it doesn't matter. Your comment I quoted above makes it sound like you are still trying to blame him. Aside from morals and ethics, which we cannot surmise from what has been stated here, there is no reason to believe his way was wrong and your way was right. They are both workable solutions.

Are there any decent Chrome Tabs with LTE (verizon) and GPS around? (under $350.00) I have not been successful in finding any to compare. The only purpose is to run waze and Connectwise Control.

Thanks for your suggestions.....

@WrCombs said in Huge Mistake:

Update: Got the Drive recovered after many failed attempts. It's at 75% right now. only cost $50 for a month subscription. Looks like we are back in business.

Excellent! You're a better man because of this!

@JaredBusch said in ChromeOS Tab with LTE?:

retitle this thread "chromeos tab"` instead of "chrome tab". those are two totally separate things.

Right, and maybe tablet. Chrome the browser has tabs. ChromeOS the OS has tablet options. But the tablets are called Chromebooks, even when tablets.

Or ChromeOS Slate...

Not sure what you mean.

Pixel Slate.
