Samsung A and S series and Google Pixel phones are going to be the ones with the longest support in the android world I'm aware of. Apple still rules in this area, the 6S just dropped off of support. You could in theory get anything newer than a 7 and enjoy at least a couple years of up to date...
Check out copperhead supported devices list, Google isn't doing too bad IMO when they enable things like this to exist. I'd return to iOS if security was the highest priority for me but it's about trade-offs and I also like flexibility. I'm really only against the vendors/carriers that are...
That's a concern but for me it's mitigated once the battery is big enough and the phone is available with enough memory (6P/64gb). Now that google is pushing monthly updates I think we are seeing who is going to put the effort in to keep up to date and shame those that don't. Google knows that...
This vuln is way overblown. To activate it you need to sideload an app and disable google app verification. Things you probably should be doing unless you really trust where you got that app from.
The only android vuln that worried me was stagfright but it's fixed. At least on Nexus and other...
I had a surface pro 3 for about four months. I wanted something a bit more powerful than an android tablet that wasn't a full laptop.
The surface pro wasn't it. It was a frustrating mobile experience.
-The on screen keyboard sucks. On android I really like swiftkey, on windows they don't...
I use fruux for my back end calendar and contacts. They are a really good and focused pay service and focus on dav for syncing. Work I'm using a google calendar.
On android I use the google calendar app, the fruux sync app and month calendar widget to devote a whole home screen to the calendar...
Yes, everything works as expected.
They have me out of town doing startup work and I haven't had time in the office to deal with this. It's frustrating.
Well I'm pretty sensitive to lag and I have a bunch of android devices so I can tell when something isn't right. I generally run the animation scale at .5x which really speeds things up and uncovers slower devices. The LG G4 on 5.1 wasn't as horribly lagy as say the Nexus 9 for its first six...
LG G4? I had an import before it was brought to the US and loved the form factor, great hardware. Hated whatever they did to the software to make it laggy, I stuck it out for three months and sold it being pretty disappointed. If you are sensitive to pauses and stutters I'd give it a pass.

Good questions, some clarification:
6. -Devices on the VLAN can reach each other no matter what building they are in but they can NOT reach the LAN side configuration page of the VPN. Sometimes they can ping the LAN side of the VPN but mostly it fails. The VPN seems to be singled out here for...
We will look at this possibility. My thinking at the time was manually entering the VPN device IP address on the network in other computers and devices as the gateway address should make that a non issue, at the same time avoiding an IP collision.
Thanks.
Read a little more and we are using port based VLAN, that port on the switch that our VPN LAN side is plugged into is assigned to the VLAN we want to use. Shouldn't need to tag the traffic too??
This is what I am using:

It's pretty much OpenVPN inside but we are using their cloud solution so the amount of customization we can do in their configuration console is limited but I will look into it.
My networking knowledge is fairly limited but...
I was originally not getting the point of chromebooks, but now that they are getting android apps I'm completely turned around. I was looking for a decent big android tablet and not really liking what I found, but this low priced asus flip really fits the bill for me.
The best part is the...
I just don't get all the forced updates and mandatory tracking. It's like msft isn't worried about bad press at all. Damn shame as I rather like 10 in general.
OK guys I have a weird and I'm not sure where to go from here. Help?
I have a VPN device from Contemporary Controls (known in the BMS world but likely never heard of here) and I want to distribute this things LAN side network across several buildings so we don't have to buy one VPN device per...
We do something similar on occasion. Basically I just leave the gateway blank on the NIC connected to the LAN. Windows seems to pick up that isn't rotatable and uses the other NIC for internet just fine, no additional configuration needed.
The obvious choice, if there is an automated way to do it. I've also considered having moderated enrollment and just ignoring everyone that didn't have the right domain. Or maybe have one of the newbs create the accounts.
I will definitely look into this. About the only thing attracting me to...
Seems we are down on sharepoint for reasons I understand, it was a kludge of an intranet site. We don't use exchange but do use SQL and their VM stuff that I'm not really involved in.
I'm finding myself getting more interested in vbulletin as it seems to kill two birds with one stone, (CMS and...
I need your thoughts on something I can kludge together to contain documents and procedures for technicians in a small business environment (60). These are the three on my mind but I'm willing to look at anything.

Pretty thrilled with how fast it boots. Still a lot of huge touch interface left behind but at least the stock start is reasonable now, and goes straight to desktop by default. I wonder if there is any way in heck I can get my XP mode on this...
Sometimes I think you all should pull your head out and look around at the other people out there. I KNOW you all don't care about the box but there are a bunch of people out there that care about the whole "purchase experience" etc.
I myself have trouble understanding field notes notebooks...
The nexus line of phones seem to universally have bad cameras. They had to save the money somewhere. I think the current one is better but not near flagship level.
How are the HTC One X prices now? Been out for a while, shouldn't they be coming down? One X+ is the current version of it.
Why...
The S3 and Note 2 already have a lot of touchless gestures eye tracking etc for things. 1080p will be nice not for the screen on the phone but for driving an external monitor, with a smart dock the phone could replace a computer for many things. I thought about getting the dock for mine but...
This was an unexpected and very positive review of the Surface Pro touchscreen.

This is rising up my want list.
Yeah I could see using one VM at a time plus the base application we use and SQL. All that and opening word or outlook is too much for my current 4gb machine.
I guess I'd be okay with starting at 4 gigabytes but I didn't want to cap the maximum memory at 4 gigabytes forever. My current laptop has 4 gigabytes and I do hit the cap once in a while.
Seems like the Dell E5430 is the winner on price but I'll push for the T430 I think. They are primarily a dell shop though.
256gb SSD
8GB system memory
i5 ivy bridge 3rd gen
Intel integrated 4000 graphics
Display 1440 x 900 minimum
13-14" form factor
Windows 7 with XP mode
3 year warranty...
I think I want to limit it to something I can get local repair support with. Even if it means I have to take it into a store and can't get the preferred on site.
Is the memory upgradeable on the ASUS? I either want to start with 8gb or have the option.
