    We're getting massive latency problems with outlying locations getting to cloud systems, and this looks to fix that.

    Just got off a call with them and our infrastructure group - this ties in seamlessly with our existing cloud architecture.

    Pretty slick...

    I'm impressed if for no other reason than this comes from someone who's as skeptical of all-cloud-all-the-time as I am.

    I just soured.

    "Where is the scanning done? Am I just supposed to let this traffic come into my network without going through my boundary protection suites?"

    My chief of boundary protection has some choice words for the chief of cloud applications.

    It's getting good.

    I think I still have DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 on floppy somewhere. I'm missing the last disk though. When the installation asks for the final disk, if you hit enter enough times (like several dozen times), the install gives up asking and completes the install anyway. I think it's just extra fonts and printer drivers.

    Used to setup 30 computers in a conference room and spend literal days swapping floppy disks. If some one says something about the good old days I will literally whip them with a Type 2 token ring cable.

    I'm in the process of moving. I still have my network setup at the old place, which has a WRT3200AC as the primary router. I thought about setting it up at the new place, and just subbing an older router in it's place for the meantime. I instead decided to buy a new router. Wasn't really feeling anything from Linksys' current selection, and was never a fan of Netgear. Decided to try Asus. I bought a RT-AX86U. I think this will be my go-to brand from now on. Hardware seems good, good wifi range, and tons of things to tweak. And I think AiMesh will come in handy in the future.

    I have the ASUS mesh. Rock solid. The motherboards last a decade - I expect my mesh to last too.
