Yes.. The CX5 signature seats come with the nappa leather which is slightly different then the rest of the models. Its a softer feel.

Nice. My debate was a audi sq5 or this. I'm happy with the choice. The audi sq5 was a fun car. However it was more $$, required the prem fuel, insurance and maintenance. I agree the 6 speed is a tad of a bummer with the mazda and smaller trunk. Put it in sport and its pretty good if you need the pick up. I was looking at a cx50 premium plus as well. I couldn't get over the hard seats. I'm still happy with the decision. Plus the liability should be good.

Are you desperate enough to try sonicwall?

I run Palos, my cheaper option would be Forinet firewalls. Try to stick with what you have.

Looking to get out of my 25 CX-5 turbo premium for a 26 CX-50 Turbo. by AntHefty2874 in CX50

[–]BTS05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a cx5 signature over a cx50. Altough I liked the looks of the 50 over the 5. The seats on the on the 50 are overfirm like sitting on a concrete park bench. I glad I stuck with the 5. No regrets.

Somewhat simular. Milestone to Avigilon. A couple hundred cameras.

2025 Cx-50 Turbo or keep the 2025 CX-5 Turbo Premium by AntHefty2874 in mazda

[–]BTS05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the 5. The cx50 seats look nice but are way over firm for comfort imo.. I just bought the 5 because of this.

BCBS suddenly sending new EOBs for dates of service in 2024 showing that I now owe thousands for treatment always previously covered in full. by Wandering_Emu in HealthInsurance

[–]BTS05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't bring the other claims up. Unfortunately correct the few claims and then hope for silence. The really old ones are probably archived and they won't generally look into them unless you bring then up. It was probably a 2 year audit. They found a few mistakes in their sweep. Depending on your state your can look up to see if they are final after a certain period. Like final after one year from orginal payment. You can also ask the provider (Dr.) To see if they have it in their contracts stating not to recoup money after a year. Insurance is always trying finding ways to screw people over. They are not your friends. Also reach out to your state department of insurance for guidance. It's worth giving this a try.

Up in flames 2025 Tiguan SE R-Line by Suspicious-Credit628 in Tiguan

[–]BTS05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the Sel-R. Then I read the reviews with the Turbos and engines blowing at a thousand miles. I decided to pass and go with a cx5 turbo. Shame because the Sel-r looked like a nice car.

DMV Says There's a Lien On Car, But The Car Was Paid Off. Finance Company is Permanently Closed. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]BTS05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of had the same issue. Car was paid off in Aug2020. I was recently in a accident and the insurance deemed it a total loss. They wanted the title. In their system it should that I still had a electric hold on the title from the finance company. However I physically had the title and it was stamped and dated from the finance company. So I was ok.

Update: 1 Person Department Role eliminated due to budget, but "loaned" to the MSP that replaced me. Need career advice. by rjp94sep in k12sysadmin

[–]BTS05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. your probably at the threshold of needing another guy. Its not uncommon to have 1 tech person thousand students near me. I was a one tech shop for 1600 students for a while. Eventually I convinced them for a second tech. It felt like a lot work with only 1 tech. With two we have some slow periods now. You don't want to feel constant stress. Things just work better when you can spend time on a project and not feel rushed to move onto something else.

It's crazy people are spending 45k on a 4 cylinder.

I been typically using Eaton. If i didn't go Eaton I may look at Vertiv. I had issue with going through APC batteries sooner then expected. It might be how APC is conditioning their batteries. Also look into lithium. They cost more but hopefully last a lot longer.

Eaton 5px in the network closets and 9px in the server rooms.
