@scottalanmiller Cool! Thanks for sharing

One of my friends company had a MS inspection for licenses and he was given the MAP toolkit. It was quite fast and extensive report which pulled all MS licensed product list and export it to an easy readable excel format. https://www.microsoft.com/sam/en/us/map.aspx

@scottalanmiller Yeah true! CentOS DVDs are distributed via torrents rite? But may be watching these movies via torrent might be illegal i guess!

@Dashrender Yes, the initial creators of this app had hard time keeping this site up. They were forced to close this within 4 days of its launch. http://getpopcornti.me/

And the final post on that site was "Popcorn Time is shutting down today. Not because we ran out of energy, commitment, focus or allies. But because we need to move on with our lives.
Our experiment has put us at the doors of endless debates about piracy and copyright, legal threats and the shady machinery that makes us feel in danger for doing what we love. And that’s not a battle we want a place in."

Best part, they made it open source, and then some guys picked it up, but got removed again, and then this site came up with the banner that "This PopcornTime service will never be taken down. Download and enjoy."!

In the UAE, we most us services are not allowed. I still use my Netflix account using VPN! Torrents are not completely illegal here, even though we have only 2 isps torrents are blocked only in few places, which is weird!

Planning to start it this weekend!

@IRJ Thanks! Thats helpful

@scottalanmiller Could you please advise if I could use 8GB RAM sever for SP 2013? As per MS docs it says it needs 24GB RAM.
Am starting to learn SP for a future project and would like to implement this resource booking system as part of my training as an initial project. I have 2 old DC HP servers with 8GB RAM each. Thinking about how well could I use these servers for my SP training and testing.

I was holding myself from posting this, as I was not sure if its allowed to post it here! But this is worth sharing

Popcorn time is an excellent app which streams movies through torrents! time4popcorn.eu

@Hubtech We don't have Sharepoint yet, but planning to setup one. Sounds like a good idea

I have one of my old HP server which just got retired from production as we moved to a new server. I might be able to reinstall it and test! hmm something new to work on!

@Hubtech What I would like to do is to setup a site where users can actually book the device and also track who has the device currently. Renaming might not work, as it doesnt stays with one user for long. It just keep changing. @scottalanmiller we have just around 10 devices, but everyday I could here people looking for the device and checking who has it currently!

We have mobile development and testing in our company and I manage few mobile devices like iPad, mini, iPhone, android etc. Is there any effective way of keeping track of who currently has it?

When I was using spiceworks, I used to inform users to create a helpdesk ticket and manage it with that. When the user returns the device, I close the ticket.

Now since we've moved out of spiceworks (we are now part of a bigger group and they use another ticketing system), I am trying to find something simple, which we could use for managing these shared devices.

@scottalanmiller Yes, I was thinking about the same. Need to test this soon!

Not sure if anyone already posted this. Just curious what you guys do besides IT.

I recently started to work on one of my dreams, to be a magician (not full time though, but would like to show some cool tricks to my friends! Got some stuffs online and practicing! Its nice to have something other than IT to think of sometimes!
