Plus one for Dell. I get some 4 year old decommissioned dells from my company and a 5300 is now my daily driver

But not everyone needs to have a work phone, some just need to authenticate

I work for a global company and help manage MFA for everyone…I use Google’s authenticator on my personal phone as they didn’t give me a work phone.

I still don’t understand why a hardware token isn’t being used. It’s such a low cost option when compared to buying a phone and plan for a user.

I work in IT and my 4 year old retired Dell 5300 is working just fine. Great form factor as well.

Yes, let’s undermine the current system by deplatforming those we don’t like.

A better option is to have a strong moderator who is able to turn off microphones when candidates go off the question. Make Trump look like an idiot when he only gets a few seconds to speak because he can’t put meaningful words together… But Biden would probably have a similar issue.

Or maybe we could get some candidates who are below life expectancy? That might interest people.

So I’m an American working for an Irish company in the IT field, and everything you’re telling us is shite. The senior role at 15.50 an hour is garbage, my local grocery store pays better than that starting.

I’m not talking shit about/to you, but the job You’re doing sounds like glorified data entry. I’d take stick if what real works skills you have and start looking for work…

Also, anything to stop you from running that tracker software in a virtual machine? That would allow you to work in one monitor that they can track, but also allow you to job hunt in a second monitor. Just saying, installing anything on my personal computer is a huge no from me.

Actually, I thought dells were shit computers, then I started working at a place that only deals in Dell. I’m actually pretty impressed after having used a 5300. It’s been a pretty solid choice except for the battery.

I work help desk, and I’m actually surprised we don’t get more issue tickets considering it’s a global company.

I’m still rocking a xiomi watch that shows me notifications. I charge it once a week and it’s like 8 years old.

I had a Samsung Smart watch before, but the battery life was the same you’re experiencing.

Can you elaborate on what pair sessions are?

I personally don’t, but a friend told me it’s his choice for his pop os laptop when he has to work with clients who use Microsoft products. Sounds like it has the best comparability, in his opinion.

Yes, I’m keeping kubuntu on my laptop because it works great. My desktop is going to have to be Windows for now

Honestly, I’m just not a big fan of the DE. I much prefer kde, which is why I went with kubuntu. Still had trouble getting everything to and running though.

Man, I used Ubuntu back on 12.04, but for some reason Linux seems way harder today lol

I mean…I Said windows did it lol.

But for real, I selected to update my firmware from within Windows update. I tried for a couple days, but was not able to recover it. Since I had an HP pre built, I used it as an opportunity to upgrade. I got a new motherboard and a couple parts and I’m back on my feet.

Was gonna say, I’ve been having double dogs for 30 years.

I find that endeavor is pretty nice as someone who typically uses windows…I just can’t wrap my head around not having a GUI for software installs. Like, I want to install jellyfish, but when I search for it, there were like 30 different ones to choose. Installed a package that I don’t want, where do I go to find the exact name of the package and then uninstall?

It was enough to send me to kubuntu, which is what’s on my laptop now. Basically only use the laptop for the web too, so likely no reason to change anything up.

Man, I had fresh imaged windows 11, and windows update nuked my bios. Never again.

I installed endeavor, but the lack of a GUI for installations bothered me. Installed kubuntu last night.

Actually, I work in it and had to install a xerox printer for someone’s home office yesterday. Grab the driver’s, go to install and it completely failed. I told the guy to restart and we’ll try again tomorrow since it was the end of my shift. Guy messages me back, the printer and PC restarted and when he walked back to it, there was a page printed that said congrats on your new printer.

Fucking thing failed successfully.

I just installed kubuntu on my daily driver. That didn’t go super well so I tried endeavor, also didn’t go well. It could be kde plasma, but it did not feel like Linux is ready to compete for something that is ready out the box.

That said, I run endeavor on my little netbook tablet and it works a wonder, so no idea. I couldn’t even get steam to load on my desktop for some reason. I tried Linux on my desktop for half a day, then decided to run back to Win11 with my tail between my legs. It just wasn’t with the hassle. Steam didn’t work, permissions for my second hard drive for Plex were messed up. I just didn’t want to have to figure it out. I’m back comfy with windows, and just experimenting with my netbook for the time being.

I really wanted Linux to stick this time… Oddly, I was using Ubuntu on my daily driver back in 2012 without a problem.

Thank you for the response! I’ll look to see if the proprietary app has tips on this. Thanks!

Question because you seem knowledgeable on mesh. I’ve got a network that spans a large area. I connected 3 mesh network aps to one switch which connects to my main router. Should the aps still be close together, or I’m good to spread them a bit since they’re all hard wired?
