You basically canâ(TM)t. ANI and DNIS were wet by telcos historically inside the pbx. Along came SIP\voip. The PBX was vitualized and voip providers saw it fit to allow customers to set their own caller id info. Providers are all federated with the traditional telco providers. There are sip gateways all over converting signals from t1\e1\pri lines back and forth. Fixing it would basically mean re-federating across all the telco providers, and theyâ(TM)d have to audit those who they federate with. No incentive. PKI would likely be the way forward IMO.

I have a surface 4 pro and experience this. It seems to be caused for me by limited granularity of the backlight dimming controller. Turning off autodim more or less resolves it. My screen and backlight are also not stock. I originally busted my lcd. Replaced it myself. The old one did it, and the new one does too.

Whatever manager requested the hire...ask for a setup like person. They likely need access similar to their peers. Use separate ldap groups for resource access, and role definitions. Role groups go inside resource access groups. I just finished writing a script to tie management of ad groups to the hris system, by jobcode and deptcode. Security and application managers can decide what roles get access to their apps. Going to trial it with a few apps. Going to need some change control on the hris system if we are really going to try to do some sort of rbac.

Still have problems with Pulse introducing latency and buffering issues in older apps. Still occasionally freaks out adding and removing USB audio devices. Occasionally have issues with Plymouth and new hardware. Why do they build up all these layers and dependencies, and make it hard to remove them?

PulseAudio, Plymouth, or other horrible things made mandatory. Still have issues with pulse introducing noticible latency in older apps, or it will freak out unplugging and plugging in USB audio devices. Plymouth had random issues with brand new hardware. They make these things really hard to remove off the system.
