    If you are regularly patching your systems and using an up to date enterprise OS, this should not be of serious concern. Even the biggest issues ever in OpenSSH were patched the same day that they were found and provided to the enterprise OS vendors the same day. If you had, for example, a standard weekly patch cycle on CentOS you would have been patched between zero and six days after the vulnerability was found, with an average of three days, without needing to even be aware of the issue.

    To patch OpenSSL on CentOS, for example, is just this command:

    yum -y update openssl

    And, of course, requires no restart. So even if you needed to manually patch it, you could do that hourly through a script if you had a serious concern or anytime manually.

    If anyone is interested, Robert for Microsoft on Spiceworks was a huge help on this issue. He has really helped me narrow it down and given me a possible resolution.

    I am not anti-Apple and have no bone to pick with them. I am just heavily invested in a Microsoft world both at work and home and just prefer their ecosystem...BUT.........

    Not that Apples announcements were earth shattering but as always, they make it look new and cool. I've been a patient Microsoft fan since the day I finally let go of my Amiga in 1992 as my full time PC. I even embraced Pocket PC through Windows Mobile 6.5, Zune and I actually own a Kin.

    But is it me or does everything they seem to do feel half-baked or abandoned? Serious...what is Microsoft doing in all they do? Why is Outlook (Windows 10 app) so buggy? What is the status of Kinect (some of us actually like it as a gaming device)? Why is Skype still not integrated and still showing LIVE ID's? Where are the tools to convert iOS and Android apps to Windows? Why has HoloLens been pushed way back? Where is our touch version of Windows Movie Maker? Where is a Microsoft equal to iLife? Why is waiting another 1-3 months for a flagship so painful? Where is the COHESION????? Why does everything and every idea seem so half-baked????

    I totally love my XBOX One as a media center...I like Windows 10 despite it having a lot of half-baked features...I actually do use a third party app for my media, PLEX, since Microsoft Dropped Windows Media Center and it works quite well.

    I think I have a legitimate vent here...LOL

    I'ma say they are terribly misguided and could take their OS to new heights w/ a few simple steps, but compared to OS X they offer one distinct, deal-making advantage: Performance. Everything is much much more responsive in Windows than OS X. It's why I can't work on OS X and have been disappointed w/ every mac I've ever owned.

    Hopefully they'll ditch the metroey looks and get an actual designer to redo windowing and icons, but still... Windows is just fast. That's why I use it, and that's why, with one eye closed, I love Microsoft. I don't want to imagine a world where I'd have to get work done w/ OS X or Ubuntu. Shiver. I just don't want to even imagine that.

    P.S. Zunes were awesome!!!!! The Kin software looked sweet but I never played w/ one.

    P.S.S. Image uploads still don't work in Chrome, 3 weeks later.

    Kin Studio was ahead of its time:

    I can agree from experience that working with a Mac for a few months, I was not impressed. At least it wasn't this religious experience that Apple fans make it out to be. I do a lot of video editing and I knew iMovie wasn't a top notch editor but with it being on par with what I use often on Windows (Adobe Premiere Elements), I sure expected better performance...in fact, it crashed a lot!

    I loved my Zune and finally sold it when I saw no future...and I've battled 2-3 years of SLOW, SLOW progress in what is now Groove Music (devolving to XBOX Music and then slowly improving into Groove Music).

    If you are dealing with really high security stuff where you'd rather burn your data than have any risk at all of it being compromised, then I could see this making sense. But nearly everyone needs access more than they need security. This feels like putting yourself at risk of at least issues if not crisis to protect against something less likely to happen.

    Nearly everyone I know has lost a phone at some point (broken to some degree.) Or just had a phone die on them. I know almost no one who has had major systems hacked. Both happen often, but one is, I feel, many times more common.

    Yes, definitely, for a shop of any size imaging AND reimaging together make total sense. Pretty much unbeatable.

    10.8" device - Dell Venue.

    How do you users like this device? are they using a custom app that scales well on a display so small?

    Or EHR is designed with a 20+ inch monitor in mind, yet the physicians want to carry around an iPad sided device to access it. The site is not finger/touch friendly in the least. While we do have a single physician using a Surface 3 Pro with our EHR, it's almost exclusively for viewing, not charting.

    How do you use it?

  • Can you downgrade Yealink EHS36 firmware

    Ok, I resolved this problem by reverting back to 29.73.0.50. As soon as the phone finished booting with the 29.73.0.50 firmware, I heard the CS540 base click active. I pushed the button on the headset to deactivate it and I knew it was going to work before i even picked it up to test.

    This does not explain why the EHS previously worked with 29.80.0.60.

    After confirming everything working correctly, I upgraded to 29.80.0.60. The headset no longer worked correctly. I downgraded back to 29.73.0.50 and it worked correctly again.

    This is a problem with the new firmware for the phone and obviously not a problem with the 3.16.0.0 EHS firmware.

    Email sent to yealink support. Hopefully this will be resolved in future firmware.
