I was looking for that a month or two ago because I needed to explain what had happened in some situation or another to my manager and I wanted to just give her a chat log but couldn't figure out how to pull all of it. There's also the issue that you can't search by job title, which would be really nice to find who is online from a given team, but we've gotten around that by (finally) setting up chats with the different teams so I can just look at the member list.

Executive team has been heaping tons of praise on IT for how all the improvements we've done for the past year and that we effectively made the entire company (a call center) WFH in a weeks time. Executive team has also decided that corona is wrecking our company and can no longer give us our normal raise and bonuses. loving hell.

Yea I know I should feel lucky to still have a job and a more than likely secure one at that. Weathering the storm of the company almost putting themselves out of business due to bad actuaries and accounting and pulling out of it in the past two years to finally seeing rewards vanish stings a bit. Ah well.

I should hold onto my job, but I'm prepared if I lose it.

Some economists are saying that unemployment could hit 30% next quarter, that's worse than the Great Depression. Head down, sock away the boat money into savings, and cross fingers. IF we can get some semblance of a working treatment to minimize how many people need to be hospitalized and IF we can get people to stop going out so we can slow the spread, things can open up sooner as we wait for a vaccine and the damage will be minimized. The good news is, as long as we don't have millions dying in the streets, we should be able to start things back up again later this year. This isn't like a world war that smashes infrastructure. But there are also going to be a lot of people short term that are going to need a ton of help. It's hard to say how this is going to hit various industries. Like my company is healthcare adjacent and a lot of what's going on will keep us busy for awhile, but, since we're in healthcare it's hard to say if demand for some of our other services will be cut back due to reallocation of budgets. It's a crap shoot. The automotive and airline industry is dead and there are going to be long lasting repercussions there. I know GM is going to start manufacturing ventilators, but I doubt that's going to be enough to keep the whole workforce busy. What we really need right now is the fast tracking of big infrastructure and public works projects to hit later this year to put swaths of people to work, but were too concerned about propping up stock prices at the moment. All that said, there's every indication that the guy with chronic mouth diarrhea is going countermand closure orders to 'get things back to normal' since the current state hurts re-election chances. So, the millions dying in the streets is starting to look like the more likely outcome.

Acrobat has two ways of signing. There is an actual signature workflow service that competes with DocuSign called Adobe Sign. There is also a tool in all versions of Acrobat (even reader) that lets you save and stamp a signature on a pdf.

Bria Enterprise is good because you can have everybody sign in through SSO and it just pulls down their provisioning profile, so you can manage all the setup centrally rather than trying to get provisioning files out to people.

I like the look of this since it's priced based on how many documents you send rather than how many people need to work with you, which seems to be how every other service works. https://www.signable.co.uk/plans/ Also it's cheap because we're going to tank our currency

One of them at least was before this all hit, maybe two. The other two I'm surprised by, I guess they were in the interview process before everything hit but I'd still be wary accepting an offer from another company at this point.

 YAY we're talking about softphones!I cannot for the life of me get our stupid loving NEC SP350 working on our PBX and our vendor isn't too keen to help me at the moment, so I'm wondering if I can make a 3rd party one work (probably not). Thanks Ants posted:Bria Enterprise is good because you can have everybody sign in through SSO and it just pulls down their provisioning profile, so you can manage all the setup centrally rather than trying to get provisioning files out to people. How does Bria stack up to say... Vonage? Boss is toying with the idea of deploying a PBX "in the cloud" to forward our on prem calls to. That way people can actually use soft phones to connect to it from anywhere and whoever the flavor of the day is can connect to their department's MLN and play secretary. I still think it's a dumb idea to replace some very nicely configured IVR's and voicemail boxes with blathering idiots in pajamas and their screaming kids and netflix on in the background. But hey, boss knows best. Unrelated, my boss has also made me deploy WebEx, FINALLY set up our NEC Meeting Center conference bridge, an analog conference bridge, create user instructions for Skype for Business (2015) and make sure everyone has it installed on their phones. (Yeah Airwatch took a poo poo and he won't let me put everyone in Samsung Knox KME and o365 MDM yet, so I won't be doing that). Additionally I'm trying to get this old rear end busted lovely NEC soft-phone that we're not even licensed for working on a PBX that isn't even configured for it. I also spent like four loving hours today breaking down all the differences between an E3 and E5 license with regards to Skype/Teams/CloudPBX/HostedVoicemail and like a dozen other M$ products that will be deprecated next month. So that was fun. CAN WE PLEASE JUST loving PICK SOMETHING AND STICK TO IT? Meanwhile I have a perfectly good Asterisk installation and enough Grandstream phones that I could just send everyone home with one (VPN configured) and do literally whatever the gently caress anyone wants at any time, all the time without any of the aforementioned bullshit. But NOOOOOOOOOOO...

Slack's memory usage scales linearly with the number of workspaces you're signed into in the app, so you also have the option of just signing out of them and checking them in the browser

+1 to the "thankful i work in IT" crew. Our business is just going insane with requests right now, there's no way any of us will be out of a job for the forseeable future. To government: RAISE MY loving TAXES! Seriously, the people privileged enough to be earning an income need to pitch in to save the country. Though by that notion, also: please do not bailout the airlines. Please. gently caress the airlines.

I just spent all day working on a complicated application update via remote control through a webex to a computer that was running an RDP session over a VPN to a Windows host that had SSH connection to the Linux hosts I was updating on. Note that the Windows server I was RDP'ed into had second RDP session to a Windows 10 desktop that I could use to test the application. The password to this RDP session is 20 characters, extremely complex and I can't copy and paste. It also has a five minute time out on the session. Oh also did I mention that there was someone on the webex talking to me, watching me work, and recording the entire session. I've worn my teeth down to nubs and my blood pressure is through the roof.

They're not the same thing, unless I'm missing something. Vonage is an SMB-focused subscription voice service with a proprietary client and a bunch of service-locked phones, Bria Enterprise is a SIP-compatible softphone that you can configure centrally, but it still has to connect to a PBX.

Oh I assumed it was a product of a communications platform such as Vonage rather than a standalone sip softphone client. I googled Bria and this was the first hit: https://www.counterpath.com/bria-enterprise/ In the play store description it says, quote:Bria Enterprise is based on CounterPath’s award-winning Bria softphone clients and is provisioned by a module of the Stretto Platform quote:IMPORTANT NOTE: This version of Bria is tied to CounterPath's hosted Provisioning Module and requires an account set up by your operator or enterprise. Without an account, the client will not work. Please contact CounterPath or your operator/company for more information. Is there another app that is just a standalone client or is that it? All the Softphones are tied to the management platform that ties back to your sip provider?

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Oh I assumed it was a product of a communications platform such as Vonage rather than a standalone sip softphone client. All that stuff is correct, but CounterPath aren't a hosted voice company. They just make a softphone application, but it's centrally managed so you don't have to tell people to go to the app store, download an app, enter in configurations etc, you just tell them to download a free app and then log in with their Azure AD credentials, and all the work you did in the background makes it connect back to whatever SIP endpoint you configured. If your PBX is poo poo or your firewall isn't configured properly then it won't help. It's designed for situations where either your voice platform doesn't have a softphone, the softphone that is available is terrible (for ages the Avaya One-x app on iOS didn't support push notifications, so the phone just wouldn't ring unless the app was active, which is obviously not a limitation that anybody would accept), or the user experience is so different across different platforms that you want to standardise on something to make supporting it easier.

Dumb question that is kind of awkward to test and I don't want to waste a bunch of time. Does anyone know if it's possible to add multiple O365 accounts, from different domains/tenants, to a single Outlook client? And if so, do you use the From dropdown to send similar to how you would if you had Send-As permissions on another mailbox?
