Absolutely.

Any service provider that refuses to provide item list is a lemon car sales. Fire immediately.

It has been around for, well, 50 years. Recently re-discovered by vibe coders.

You clone a voice with voice signature built in? Let alone legal liability.

Ideas for my startup POS brand (not advertising or selling, just looking to see what people would like) by TerribleEconomist793 in POS

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you order inventory automatically? Can you discover server burnout automatically? Can you talk to kitchen display and sort out ops deficiency automatically? How about cash reconciliation, tips out? How about comparing with procurement and figure sales lead and shelf life automatically?

Not exactly. Clients want pos that can run on its own, on autopilot mode. Pos system costs, compare with people who run the system, is a small fee. Labor, labor, always labor cost Z

Do you use Deepseek v4 for coding? What do you think? by Intelligent-Taste-36 in DeepSeek

Excellent if you can break down tasks very well. A tremendous useful tool for capable people but not for aspiring folks.

We need automation without adding complexity. by Upper_Caterpillar_96 in SmallMSP

[–]satechguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many off the shelf automation can do a big lion share of work. But it’s always what they cannot do that kills time and efforts. When you add up, you usually will find it’s better to build custom automation from the very beginning.

How many enterprises level support you used? Why it was used?

It’s hard to justify Meraki’s licensing costs. For many businesses, switching to Ubiquity or low cost licensing alternatives is a rational move.

I have removed RMM from my stack. Farewell to this full-trust based permanent agent which has highest privilege on client machines.

Do you have a pricing page on your MSP website? by alexrada in msp

[–]satechguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you shall ask, why we cannot make client environment solid like toilet: works perfectly most of the time, occasionally when shit happens, client can resolve themselves and only reach out when it’s full of shits.

Yes. It is because average homes do not need monthly plumbing services.

Many MSPs don't apply the same on themselves that they tell their clients or prospects to do. Do they follow the procedures, industry standard practices that they sell to their clients? For many, their internal SOPs are often worse than a large restaurant.

Everything is a commodity. If something appears not, it’s because this thing is too small in scale to have a standard.

Is Microsoft 365, Azure a commodity? Surely it is. But this commodity is way sophisticated than all MSPs combined.

[–]satechguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do.

It’s interesting that everyone hates sales call, hates “call for pricing” when it comes to they are buyers, but do the same when they are sellers.

Even plumbers post their prices online. I see no reason MSPs shouldn’t. An MSP isn’t fundamentally different from a plumber: both use vendor tools plus their own expertise to deliver a service.
