I found a thread on fb talking about southpoint. It seems that half of the neighborhood is flooded. Specifically the falcon crest side is flooded. The fb group is called Louisiana Flood Rescue - August 2016.

as an IT professional that started out in baton rouge but now lives in raleigh...there isnt a company in br that could afford me

Currently got 20 of these suckers at the office. windows 8 is totally new to me, so is there a simple way to lock down all these apps especially game and crap so my users cant access them? Computers are in a domain if that matters. I just need them accessing the main screen with microsoft office and our company home drive.

Are you responsible for managing these things? If so, you should already know the answer...

Anyway, you can use Group Policy to block the Store. Additionally, you can block Microsoft Accounts. Most Apps from the store require a MS account to use.

It's been a while since I shopped coax, but at one point there used to be RG59 and RG6. The RG6 is thicker and RG59 would not work as well (if at all). So, if you have the choice, you should get RG6... again, I'm not sure if RG59 is even still a thing.

I have a playbar, sub and one play1. I currently have the play1 in another room just for music there. One day I'll get a second play1 to have surround. I love the sonos stuff. It's expensive, but I like not having wires. If you get the playbar, you definitely need the sub to go with it.

I don't know your answer about the turntable... Does this help? Or maybe this?

Are you worried about calling them, or them calling you? Do you have a Google Voice number? Hangouts Dialer lets you use the app to call using your GV #. So if you are calling your parents, your GV # would show up on their caller ID. If you are worried about them calling you, maybe look into forwarding your T-Mobile number if unanswered to your GV #.


This. I was in the middle of nowhere IL for work a few months ago with zero cell coverage on TMobile. GV and hangouts dialer worked like a charm over WiFi. The other users don't need hangouts.

This and this... CAD Surprised you don't already know about Google Voice with Hangouts since you seem to be a big pusher of google docs and sheets.... thought you were all about the google.

Yes. This is what you should do. You already have a nice router. If you need the ethernet ports on it, just buy a cheap gigabit switch to replace it. Then you can throw the router somewhere in the open, provided you can get power and ethernet to it.

This is my ultimate plan. I have a box running pfsense, so that is my router/firewall/dhcp server. So, my setup is currently cable modem ethernet to pfsense box, ethernet to my router which is now in AP only mode (connected to LAN port instead of WAN... although I run DD-WRT on it and use that to make the WAN port a LAN port).

Ultimately, I will buy a gigabit switch and then move the router to somewhere more centrally located to have better wifi coverage in my house.

I'll be interested to see how you like the watch a month from now. Takes a bit of time to get used to wear.

I've had it for about a week... I feel used to it. I'm really only using it as a watch and for notifications. I can't exactly talk to it at work.

Sorry... they're all taken now.

Could you send me one too please? I had some to give out, but they expired and now my friend wants one

Sorry for the late response... YGM. Let me know if you didn't get it.

I'm paying 49.99 for 30/5. They increased my price without warning one month and I complained and got another year at that price. I suspect I will get a speed increase for free shortly due to Google Fiber coming to the area.
