I recently had a problem with a Windows Server 2016: The Start Menu was unresponsive! You will find a lot of such issues with Windows 10 and how to fix it. But the DSIM /restorehealth didn’t word as expected or described in most of the how to’s that I found.
I use a security key to enabling strong(er) two-factor and for passwordless authentication since a while.
I started with a Security Key by Yubico a while ago. But the Security Key is a USB-A Device, and my main device is a Macbook Pro without any native USB-A port. And the dongle handling wasn’t that great!
The new Apple AirPods Pro arrived a couple of days ago, and my first impression was mind blowing! They sound so much better and the noise cancelation works flawless.
And best of all: They fit perfectly into my ears, without any further Ear-Tips.
I upgraded one of out Conference rooms from a Polycom Trio 8800 to a Logitech Rally Plus system last week.
Main reason for the change/switch: Support for more Video conferencing software!
The Polycom Trio 8800 in combination with the Visual+ is a great solution for our Skype for Business infrastructure. It was OK with Microsoft Teams (as Audio only solution). But many of our customers and partners use different services! We have to use a lot of Zoom and WebEx lately, in an addition to our own Microsoft Teams video meetings.
A while ago, we already placed a dedicated PC into the conference room to join all the different meetings. We mostly used the Trio in USB Mode and we also evaluated the “Poly Pass Through” driver. It worked but switching around the different modes and configurations wasn’t perfect. And we needed a better camera, the Logitech C930e is a bit outdated!
About 8 weeks ago, I switched from a Polycom VVX 601 Desk phone with Plantronics Savi 8220 Headset to a Poly Elara 60 WS for Voyager Focus. I already had the Voyager Focus headset, so it was a perfect match.
The idea and concept of the Elara 60 makes perfect sense for me: Have a companion device for my main device, an Apple iPhone X in my case, that makes call handling better and easier. And I’m a heavy Microsoft Teams User, the dedicated Teams key makes perfect sense for me.
