I still have an audio CD with their malware embedded. Ripped it under Linux, no problem.

Just read a review on Amazon today about a newer brother printer that they've instituted a lock out on toner. Was telling a colleague that they were decent enough to not do that... But then I ate my words

Lol yeah agree

Dang it. The video of the over and over dick shots is gonna need a rewatch.

I could understand if you were buying a pay-as-you-go phone on the cheap... but this is an iPhone you're talking about. What's the minimum, $799? I think they can afford to toss a cable your way if you need one.

I never knew Microsoft even had support. Was part of a very large (worldwide) enterprise and remember the other teams complaining about lack of anything when trying to escalate issues.

They charge a subscription fee for mental health?

I work healthcare adjacent and some providers were affected as expected. Hoping as well that those critical systems were not, but that chance is non zero.

I get this as being a bit of a hurdle, but wouldn't a good option in hind sight be to create a separate work related apple account based on your work email? I've done that in the past with various companies for iPhones and MacBooks. Makes it cleaner to return the device and doesn't compromise my personal account should they ultimately need my credentials on the non-owned-by-me device.

I don't disagree for sure, but at some point the price will become more competitive as other companies see dollar signs...

48v 100ah battery with Bluetooth BMS built in is around 700$ on ali express... Slightly more direct from Amazon in the USA if you want it fast. Will store close to 5kwh which I guarantee you beats out this solution. Of course you'd still need to buy the grid sync inverter (available in many places) as well as a solar mppt charger and solar cells. Still will come below this cost - or you'll simply blow by the capacity of what you would have paid for this solution. But gotta have the old noggin on straight to do it yourself.

Agreed. Being in the house and having the shrill component of the blower removed would greatly be appreciated.

 

Just a few tips for installing on a Sophos SG135 (and perhaps others in the Sophos family?) using the serial build via usb

  1. Sophos device starts at 38400,n,8,1 as com settings. OPNsense switches to 115200 after bios. If you set your session to 115200 prior to OPNsense taking over, this causes PuTTY to not be able to input keyboard characters until you kill and re-open the session. Something happens in the transition on either serial interface to cause problems.

  2. Perform the auto detection of interfaces. For some reason I got screwed up on the interfaces and couldn't for the life of me get LAN to come up to configure the box. I believe this was twofold: one, the interfaces were all down when I configured them - and two, that caused them to go into a state to where even if 'ifconfig' showed active as I moved my cabling around, pings would not work (LAN). Once I redid the usb live and utilized the auto detection feature properly, no issues occurred.

Hope this helps someone who may run into similar issues.
