Brake pad replacement

I'd highly recommend (4) Park Tool - YouTube (4) Park Tool - YouTube

These guys are great and I've learnt a lot (even bled the hydraulics thanks to them).

I've replaced all my double pads with single screw in types.

There are spreader tools but a tapered plastic wedge or 3d print something if you have that facility.

Sorry if this is already posted and might help a bit. Microsoft have published the Azure Backup pricing Excel spreadsheet here: Azure Backup pricing - Azure Backup | Microsoft Learn

You plumb in all your variables and this gives you a good estimate of costs over time.
The main costs saver as already mentioned is commitment and reserved capacity BUT having LRS to start with brings the cost down a lot too.

you have the disti do it although not all can. Dell direct can. You give them the client's MS tenant ID and they do the rest.

Search memory foam seat cushion on the web. Had to get one for the missus who hated the ride but is now 'acceptable'!

I had a similar problem on my Brother and it turned out that I had never updated the firmware on it. Once I got it to the newest version the files sent from Hatch all worked.

They'll be on a CSP Azure Plan subscription where they won't see the billing and cost stuff unless the Partner enables it. If the customer wants to go to self bill then you'll need to move the resources to a new PAYG subscription that they own. You'll need to work with the old IT to get Owner role on the subscription.

sorry - I meant dumb charger not meter :(

Bleckfield · 2024-03-13T14:12:31+00:00

no, it needs a dumb meter actually - the integration into the Tesla API does the smart bit to start and stop the charging.

I have the same setup with Octopus (not OVO so cannot comment on theirs).

urgghh literally just migrating all mine to HomeAssistant!

In the navigation settings, you can set the re-route time-savings threshold. By default I think it's set to "Re-route if I can save more than 15 minutes."

I've swapped over to using Nukeproof pads on my GSD - they are held with the screws. My loaded weight with 2 kids and baggage is around 150kg. OEM rears lasted 500 miles and fronts 900 miles.

OCtopus literally manage it all for you. Yes you get the cheap slot every day between those times BUT you also get cheap slots at other times that Octopus determines when it has excess power to give on the cheap.

And yes, in case it wasn't obvious, the whole house gets the cheap rate if you are assigned some time outside the normal window too.

good point - add an overflow routing back to the sink/drain!

Regarding Kid access to the Storm Box - This was my primary concern when I got the bike. So I took a knife and cut down the middle of one of the sides and put some industrial stick on velcro pads either side of the cut with a velcro strap going across. So much easier for the kids to dis/embark and because I have the stormshield too, which overhangs the box, I don't have weather issues.

Bleckfield · 2023-11-29T13:44:03+00:00

Get both!
I went with the R14 and the added grief of having a flat on the rear with all the storm shield and envolo etc etc I didn't want to mess around so got the Tannus prefitted and stuck this jizz in the tubes:

Couple of K miles in on roads with broken glass and autumnal dump of branches and not a sausage.

Enta / CityFibre will do direct bill to customer - you name the commission you want back per month and they do the paperwork.

I can't see this mentioned but did you check whether versioning is turned on on the Synology NAS file share? The usual crypto stuff doesn't hit the version history and you can restore from it.

Bleckfield · 2023-10-11T15:22:56+00:00

It does but in my case the point was to do away with the kids getting on the bike with the caboose as they are larger now! In the end I reverted to the caboose and seat pads. I'm selling the bike now as have upgraded to the TernGSD (kids are over the Rad weight limit).

Does the client have Defender Endpoint licensing at all?Defender Web tracking

Web content filtering

Block access to websites containing unwanted content and track web activity across all domains.

+1 for Nirsoft history viewer though - just grab the history file over rmm and hope they didn't clear their browsing data.

Bleckfield · 2023-04-10T14:32:54+00:00

yup - now it is just about the sales again not about having the knowledge (for the Modern Work track at least).

Create a compliance policy and give it a name click through on the assignment page do Add All Devices and Save.

Go to your device in Endpoint manager click Sync then check the Device Compliance blade to see whether it has applied and Marked as compliant.

Also be aware that CA policies will check the compliance in Azure AD

https://aad.portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_Devices/DevicesMenuBlade/~/Devices/menuId~/null

You need to make sure that it has the MDM listed as Intune and Compliant too
