Seconding the support for the Latitude 7000 series, they are great. Shame about the dock connector placement and needing the dock spacer and looking generally horrible and taking up loads of space. I also really want to swap my 11" i7 MacBook Air for a new XPS 13. That screen  .

Thanks for all the answers; I think for uniformity's sake we'll probably stick with either the XPS 13 or the Latitude 7000 series, which I have somehow missed. And we've got a bunch of USB-to-Ethernet adapters laying around so that won't be an issue. Eagerly awaiting someone actually requesting one now.

psydude posted:"Welp, all of our wireless engineers are gone until July and we have to get this site survey done. Hey, psydude, you've wirelessed before several years ago, come do this for us!" Are they supplying Fluke AirMagnet and/or Zebra LANPlanner (formerly Motorola LANPlanner)? Because that poo poo ain't cheap, but if you want to do a real survey, you'll need real tools. I know you can do a predictive survey in LANPlanner (not sure if AirMagnet will do predictive), but the software is the lions share of the cost anyway. It just saves a time and having to go on site. But you will need accurate floor plans with material information (metal framing, cinder block walls here, drywall used here, etc...) and you miss out on getting a baseline of any other active RF activity in 2.4GHz and 5GHz and setting the ambient RF noise floor.

I just install aps based on gut feeling and hope for the best. It helps that my largest wireless install was 8 aps, so there really isn't much of way to gently caress it up. I can see that nice expensive stuff being useful for larger installations though.

It's neat to look at but the only time I ever had to use it was to prove to a client that yes the x-ray machine in the dentists office next door is the source of your wireless problems, and no there's nothing we can do about it. These days I just use an ssid scanner on my phone.

Had an interview today for a devops job. I hope it's a good thing when an interview scheduled for an hour lasts three hours and the phrase "Foregone Conclusion" gets used. Can't celebrate yet, I thought I had a new job on lock last November and it fell through. Thank you to everyone for the discussions that we've had, they've allowed me to intelligently discuss things like OpenStack and Hadoops at a basic level without making a fool of myself.

We have all of that stuff, I just don't have any of it installed. I'll have to go out on site anyway, because it's new construction.

Turns out I lied/was lied to and I learned the hard way today. Rather than having our backups on two external usb 2 hard drives, we have zero backups or redundancy. The hard drive idea stopped working 3 months ago One of the team leaders for a department managed to deleted the 2015 timesheet for the rest of the team leaders while he was updating it. The best I could do was find an old locally cached version of the file from only 6 weeks ago. oh well

After determining that it was possible to leave Manitoba my family did so. Turns out Winnipeg is not a bad place to be from, only a bad place to live. Makes me wonder what I'd be doing if we never left. I'd probably be working at Canadian Tire and be the guy that gets stuck with fixing the POS machines. EDIT: You people that can't appreciate the beauty of the prairies mystify me. You probably dislike the ocean too.

Driving from Edmonton to Winnipeg is apparently enough to drive a man insane, according to my brother. I've been to Saskatoon once and the flatness was hosed up.

I've done the drive from Edmonton to Moosomin, SK before. 9 hours. The idea of adding another 3-4 is just soul crushing. Luckily I'll have the wife with me to tag in, I'm just going to play Pokemon half the way there and try not to cultivate agoraphobia.

Whenever I drive the mountain highways in BC more often than not I get stuck behind some tourist or first time road tripper who takes the curves at 10km/h, and I'm driven slowly mad for the next 2 hours as there is literally no passing anywhere.

Sorry to interrupt this ridiculousness with more ridiculousness... Is it possible to set up a Windows laptop (maybe with some programming on the switch side) to grab the same IP from both ethernet and wifi, use the ethernet when plugged in, but fail over seamlessly to the wifi if unplugged (i.e. keep VoIP sessions up)? I've got our new SIP test service where I can run laps around the office with a laptop and USB headset, calls are crystal clear as I'm passed off from one Ruckus hotspot to another. If people could choose on a whim to plug/unplug from ethernet and move wherever they want without dropping a call, that'd be a game changer. Obviously I'd have to test the gently caress out of this at load, but first I need to see if it is even practical.

Isn't it kind of a liability for people to be walking around with open laptops in front of their faces? If your users are as clumsy as most of the ones I've dealt with, I'd imagine a lot of broken laptops and several trips to the first aid kit. Not even trolling: if they need the ability to seamlessly move voice calls from place to place, maybe they could try calling from their cell phones?

Vulture Culture posted:If you're running wireless and wired connections on the same VLAN for some reason, it's hypothetically possible to do this with an active-backup bond on Linux (if your switching infrastructure is configured in such a way that it supports this), but I don't think Windows has native support for bonded interfaces at all. In either case, it's probably not worth the burden on your network team. I lose a laptop a week to knocked over beverage or a football, but people walk around with them all the time and I don't see that much dropping. This is a call center and even though probably every last soul in the place has a personal cell phone with unlimited minutes, I'm still expected to provide a desk phone and wireless headset as standard issue. The big problem is that the wireless Jabra and Plantronics headsets I got were all breaking up on calls, I showed the floor plan to Plantronics and they're like "lol there's absolutely no way you're going to get your headsets to work with that high of a call center density" so now I use wired headsets and everyone whines about them because they want to get up and pace around on calls. I just figured that if I can force all our laptops onto 5ghz Wifi and get a bonded connection on each, people could use a wired headset to the laptop and walk around with those, with the added bonus of no desk phones required and people can move desks whenever they want.
