I'm sure it isn't but good god shit has been crazy up here for dry van lately. How's the rest of the country/equipment looking for you guys?

Southeast has loosened I know since produce ended, and flatbed is fucked as per normal, but not sure about midwest, west coast, reefer etc since I don't do any of that type of work.

Hi all, I just got a new Cisco 8851 desk phone and a Jabra engage 65 SE.

Issue I'm having is that the audio quality on the headset is maybe 10 - 15% worse than on the cisco handset. Not enough to be a real issue, but enough to annoy me given that this headset was $300!

On an actual call it's harder to tell unless you really listen, but the main thing driving me crazy is the dial tone on the headset is crackly/staticky.

I've been through every conceivable setting on the cisco and the jabra, downloaded the latest firmware, have tried different cords, and nothing is working.

Is this headset potentially defective? Is this just to be expected with a headset? (I really hope not for $300!)

Thanks all in advance

Howdy all, I have a new VOIP setup through Ring Central for my home office and have been struggling with poor call quality. I'm able to understand the person on the other line fine and vice versa, but the audio sounds tinny, slightly muffled, and just thin/cheap for lack of a better word. Noticeably worse than when I make calls on my iphone.

I am a solo business owner and will be using this line to call out to new and existing clients so it's very important to me that call quality is as good as possible. I've been using my cell for the past 5 years with no issues so would hate for my fancy new system to be a downgrade in audio quality.

On to the technical side of things, I am using a Cisco 8851 desk phone with a Jabra Engage 65 SE headset. The desk phone is hardwired with an etherent cord into my router, and I have gig internet.

My internet download speed shows as 915 mbps, upload is 40 mbps, latency is 8 ms and jitter is 1 ms. I disabled SIP ALG on my router settings, and the cisco phone is set to use OPUS codec. On the cisco admin portal I have HD voice enabled and bandwidth set to high.

I have the same low call quality issues when calling with the Ring central app off my cell phone with both wifi and data, which leads me to believe the issue is with the ring central servers. Whenever I call their support though they just tell me they show the quality is fine and close the ticket. I've asked them to confirm the codec they have the account set to, but they don't seem able to do so.

Any ideas? I'm tempted to switch VOIP providers at this point, but would be a lot of work, and maybe I'm just expecting too much out of this system.

Howdy all, took a long hiatus from the game and am just now getting back into it after 2-3 years away, a LOT seems to be different.

I main Mongols and am not good, topped out at Gold III when I used to play. I also used to like Byzantine and ottomans too but haven't played them again yet.

For Mongols, looks like alot is different. Deer stones no longer buffs movement speed? What the heck are Khan hunters? Do people use this unit? Just seems like a weaker cheaper Mangudai? What else has changed? Is trade still OP?

Any byz or Ottoman players care to chime in on the state of things?

What do springalds even do now lol

Just looking to start a discussion, thanks all in advance

Bought my first home last month, needed some work done but was (and still am) beyond excited.

Was aware of some stuff needing done from my inspection and planned for it, spent around $10k for some structural support work, minor mold remediation, a new water heater, some lights I wanted to put in, and for other odds and ends like venting exhaust fans outside instead of into the attic, some siding repairs, etc

Then the electrician discovered that all the outlets and switches in the house are backstabbed. Ok… $700 later…

Today I discovered that the tile in my shower is completely fucked and has massive gaps in it which more than likely means mold and a need for a complete redo at some point. Inspector missed it. Going to do my best to caulk it up tomorrow.

As if that weren’t enough, my garbage disposal died today too just to rub it in, and my exhaust fan in the master bath is hanging off the ceiling and shooting insulation all over the bathroom.

I haven’t even moved in yet, questioning all of my life choices right now lol. I don’t regret it but good god what is going on.

EDIT: Just got to the house today and the garage door isn't working. Man makes plans, and God laughs.
