To add some more detail from when I worked there: We had two users which were BES and BIS. Not all devices were connected to an enterprise. Consumer-owned devices were almost always provisioned using BIS. They tried to later push Black Berry ID as a way to get users to take over some half-baked control but that was a total flop. The support overhead was simply too much.


To complicate it even more, in Canada they will accept a Costco-issued Visa. As well all US debit cards I've tried with Visa Debit cause all kinds of confusion. Drives me nuts sometimes, especially during that period which my local warehouses were refusing to accept cash. Even if you're a US Costco member.

You can pay with Visa online, but if you return to a store they hand you cash. It's really weird how anti-Visa Costco is in Canada.


Anyone care to speculate why this isn't available on Linux? Is it NVIDIA holding us back?


It requires the NVIDIA Audio Effects SDK, which is only on Windows

It's the pandemic thing everyone's working overtime


eNom (although prices have been slowly climbing over the years but I don't think that's unique to them specifically)


NameSilo.com is quite a bit less expensive.

Did I miss something? It's $379 on the site. Was the kinect actually only $18.95-37.90?! Now I wish I had picked one up. I thought they were north of $100.


They are referring to the Core above - $5000 to start, $1000 for each additional sensor.


Those cheap eBay items you reference are likely just sending power over an unused pair. Actual standardized PoE has all sorts of other cool perks. I haven't studied it heavily but I wouldn't say they're quite the same as the little dongles with a plug off the side.


I've looked at your software a few times before. I've also tried to reach out to you before. To date I've never seen a response from you and I've moved on. I'm not stoked to see you're available to drop your product name in a thread about another company but inquiries to your own go unanswered.


Maybe he doesn't want to talk to you. I'm not stoked to see you commenting about your personal issues.


Well if he didn't want to talk to me, he might rethink sending messages to people blindly asking them to get in touch.


Fair.


jmancuso@expandrive.com if you want to reconnect, sorry if I've missed an email in the past.


Looking back that's the e-mail one of the messages went to. It was actually a reply to your seemingly automated messages saying "...please don't hesitate to shoot me an email..." and my reply didn't seem to generate any response. But poof, into thin air it all went. I'm a bit biased here because it just drives me nuts when all these companies pretend to play nice publicly by answering comments (like mine! thank you, first time I've heard from you even if it is just brushing my comment off as "sorry if I've missed an email..."), responding to tweets and everything else but then behind closed doors it's a totally different setup. Perhaps you were just busy who knows. I just feel like this is a trend in the industry and it drives me a little nuts.


fair enough. Shoot me an email if you're still interested
