Skype has had all of these features and more forever, oh and it handles video.
No it doesn't... I can't even see half of my group chats on the Linux client, the Windows client doesn't sync chats properly if it's been turned off a week, the Android client seems to sync on the latest stuff and often forgets the old stuff... Nothing like Telegram's sync, which is kept in sync on all devices. Regardless if the people I was talking to are logged in or not.
You go to the little square on the bottom left with a K on it. You press it with your mouse and a menu pops up like a restaurant except this one has a search box unlike Wendy's. You can either type firewall into it, type yast into it, or navigate to Yast in the menu until you find one that says Yast. Open Yast and it prompts you for the root password to access system configuration. Click Security then Firewall and check the bubble that says start automatically. If not already running click the box to start it, if already running just click Next/Next/Next and done.
Sorry, that doesn't cover what I requested, you have failed the task, completely.
If you think you are being cute by asking how to configure a star topology network of beowulf clustered Google datacenters you're exactly the type of dickhead that uses Ubuntu.
Believe it or not, I actually do have two Internet connections in my house, if this was a datacentre, I'd have some fancy router instead of a random Linux box sitting under my desk with a bunch of manually written iptable rules that I struggle with each time.
I didn't even go to the extent of requesting the uPnP crap for each Internet Connection, or mention the amprnet vlan with it's amprnet gateway configuration; which was such a headache for me to figure out how to integrate into this.
Opensuse has a great community and literally everything runs on it.
Literally everything runs on major Linux distributions too, you're not making a convincing argument.
I'm waiting for the ease of use that genuinely matters, being able to turn on and off a firewall in a GUI has literally been in most distros for years, it's so old, you can find it in the first versions of Mandrake and Coral Linux. It's upsetting that after all this time, Yast's Firewall module still doesn't compare to Firewall Builder's usability, reconfigurability and flexibility, then you tout a shoddy GUI in comparison that is less flexible and less user friendly (it doesn't even have a user friendly wizard). Sorry, but feck off with your late 90s technology, it's clear you're living in the past and have no vision for the future nor even an understanding of the technologies that are currently even out there.
I do apologize, I messed up vlan4 slightly, here are the amendments:
vlan4: offers DHCP, DNS, NTP for 172.16.13.x network, does not allow communication with any machines on any other vlan. Internet traffic is throttled to 2mbit download, 2mbit upload. This defaults to Internet Connection 1, if internet connection 1 stops working, switches over to Internet connection 2.
The firewall must drop packets from wrong IP addresses for the wrong vlan, ie: drop someone statically setting them-self as 172.16.10.12 on vlan4, since vlan4 is only supposed to use 172.16.13.x.
Traditionally I've had to use iptables, but if you say it's easy. I'll give it a try. Let's give my home network I try, could you explain to me how to do this...
I have three physical network adapters, for simplicity, I will use traditional Linux interface naming conventions.
eth0: PPPoE for Internet connection 1 ppp0: Internet connection 1 tunnel eth1: DHCP, single IP for Internet connection 2 eth2: has four vlans. vlan1: offers DNS, NTP, for 172.16.10.x network, allows direct communication to vlan2 and vlan3 (expecting everything to be statically assigned here), offers Internet connection 1, if internet connection 1 stops working, switches over to Internet connection 2. I'd also like to see example of forwarding UDP and TCP of a given port to a server on this network. vlan2: offers DHCP, DNS, NTP for 172.16.11.x network, allows you to communicate directly with machines on vlan3 and vlan1, offers Internet connection 1, if internet connection 1 stops working, switches over to Internet connection 2 vlan3: offers DHCP, DNS, NTP for 172.16.12.x network, allows you to communicate directly with machines on vlan2 and vlan1, offers Internet connection 2, if internet connection 2 stops working, switches over to Internet connection 1. vlan4: offers DHCP, DNS, NTP for 172.16.12.x network, does not allow communication with any machines on any other vlan. Internet traffic is throttled to 2mbit download, 2mbit upload. This defaults to Internet Connection 1, if internet connection 1 stops working, switches over to Internet connection 2.
The firewall must drop packets from wrong IP addresses for the wrong vlan, ie: drop someone statically setting them-self as 172.16.10.12 on vlan4, since vlan4 is only supposed to use 172.16.12.x.
The system's default Internet connection should be internet connection 1, if it's not working to switch to 2.
Also, I'd love to hear how you would handle the DHCP setup for different IP ranges on different vlans.
Who said that installing packages was hard on a *NIX platform that we needed snapd to solve this?
Linus Torvalds actually mentions the issues relating to this being one of the primary reasons he believes desktop adoption is problematic for Linux.
I'm sorry, I really think package repositories like apt/yum are gosh-darn God-sends when set up, populated, built and maintained correctly.
I think they are too, however for desktop applications and their developers, I think they are problematic because it involves getting your software into every Linux distro out there and if your favourite distro doesn't want it, or want to duplicate all the effort of packaging it all over again for their distro, you're out of luck. This solves that problem.
You aren't buying a product though, you're using a service. In Belgium this would be just as black and white legal, as long as you received back any money that was paid (in this case, nothing was paid).
Don't worry about it, this is a service, not a product. This particular service requires you to agree to terms that are regularly updated in order to even use it.:)
If you have daily meetings your manager is a moron who doesn't know how to manage.
You're a moron that isn't familiar with Agile methodologies. From his description, it sounds like his team are using a variant of scrum Agile and I should point out that in the case of scrum, the team manages it self, the manager is out of the way or plays the role of product owner, which has a very limited influence on meetings.
We sent to three week sprints, to allow extra time for QA.
Decouple manual testing from your development sprint (make sure you a proper CI with test automation in place and strict TDD/BDD policy. Failing TDD/BDD implementation fails that functionality).
Have your QA team manually testing the solution delivered one sprint behind to deal with issues like pesticide paradox through the use of session based testing. This also means the QA team will likely be able to perform more extensive testing.
Which means we cram even MORE CODE onto QA the last few days...
Yeah, that won't be an issue on my advised testing approach.
For an example, because there is no centralised architectural thinking or planning, every developer goes wild and build their own architectures...
Doesn't like something you could do in SCRUM or Lean Agile unless you weren't following them properly.
Thirdly, Agile not scalable. Agile works best for smaller website projects.. say 5-6 page dynamic websites. If you are to do a huge mission critical project involving 100+ templates, 20+ devs so on... Agile will fail half way point, and you will have to downgrade to Waterfall, and pretend you are doing Agile to your client... which method I christened as "ScrumFall" (after James Bond movie).
I've successfully used it on massive teams with fewer issues than waterfall, V model etc. in my consultancy life. I think your experience of Agile has not been wholesome based on your descriptions.
Also, yes, I have seen Agile done poorly a lot. But, I see Waterfall, Prince2, V-model, Extreme Programming etc. done poorly as well.
Considering that you post responses elsewhere after the fact but don't address the risk raised regarding your company, it's becoming quite clear you're just running one of those companies that don't care to protect customers, employees and business partners. I can only hope they all learn of your poor practices and take adequate actions against you for your neglegence.
Isn't this the primary reason people say that Linux isn't for the masses?
It's what people say, but in reality, I think the issue is that usually by the point this becomes an option, they've already got people that are experienced with Windows and such, the issue being, everyone has to be retrained etc.
If what you're saying is true then there is no reason to use windows in business, right?
The biggest problem with Microsoft products, is that to use one effectively, you need another... Like, you have Microsoft Office, but document sharing and management needs Sharepoint, then you need active directory for Sharepoint to work, then you need single sign on for that to work transparently, then you need Exchange for Sharepoint to work properly with e-mail and Outlook, then you need better tools for managing your infrastructure like SCCM etc. You won't see top-down application-service integration like this on Linux to this extent outside of certain proprietary enterprise solutions from SuSE Linux etc.
The only option you offer is, literally, to go out of business and put 300 people out of work.
Or fire one of those three hundred (if your costs are that tight) and employ one person that can do IT properly. You know, it's upsetting to even learn that you've got a business with 300 staff with an IT infrastructure that isn't even ran by legitimate professionals in the field. I'm sure with an audit we'd find all sorts of data security issues, vulnerable configurations etc. With the size of the company you describe, you've probably put at risk a lot of people, not only your staff.
If you work in IT, which I don't believe you do, you are incompetent, stupid, and malicious.
So, why would your opinion on whether I work in IT mean anything to me? It's clear you don't even know the basics of Windows administration. All this could be resolved from knowledge gleaned from the MSCA and applying a bit of common sense.
However, if you can't learn the basics and can't be bothered to hire proper help and then complain you can't do business because you don't know to administrate a system properly, maybe you should have done a better job at assessing your business risks and benefits to begin with.
I don't consider myself the brightest or most intelligent person in system/network administration, development, IT etc. So it's not like I am operating on some sort of God tier knowledge.
I shudder to think what the Furry community will do with this technology.
As a furry and knowing the actual community in real life rather than just the online fetishists... I expect that there will be opposition towards animal experimentation.

You can turn off automatic downloads and even specify if you want it for wi-fi only etc.
No it doesn't... I can't even see half of my group chats on the Linux client, the Windows client doesn't sync chats properly if it's been turned off a week, the Android client seems to sync on the latest stuff and often forgets the old stuff... Nothing like Telegram's sync, which is kept in sync on all devices. Regardless if the people I was talking to are logged in or not.

I expected you to be computer literate enough to find it yourself.

In a word for the lazy, yes.
What Linus described is the problem is what is wrong with that.

You are using a service, not a product. Additionally, you received a full refund, so what legal standing do you have?
Don't worry about it, this is a service, not a product. This particular service requires you to agree to terms that are regularly updated in order to even use it. :)
In my experience, most managers seem to want to avoid the daily stand ups, even though they're supposed to be just 15 minutes at most.

I used to e-mail this picture to some people when I got fedup of trying to manage expectations.
Heh, I'm used to seeing people treated like shit in consultancy and nobody has an expectation of bonuses.
Decouple manual testing from your development sprint (make sure you a proper CI with test automation in place and strict TDD/BDD policy. Failing TDD/BDD implementation fails that functionality).
