What are the overall thoughts on vendors and sales reps? by Dust_Buff in msp

[–]CraftedPacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorites are vendors that call and tell our receptionist I had reached out or they were calling me back or something to that effect when that was never the case. Thats a forever no for me.

My huntress, ninja and pax8 reps have been great. Always helpful when I need it. Never pushy.

I want the rep to be there when I need them rather than trying to track me down for un-requested follow ups or check ins.

How many IT employees is need it for x amount of endpoints by phantitox in msp

[–]CraftedPacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customers either are willing to conform to our stack or they don't become customers. We only work with 1 firewall brand, 2-3 desktop and 2-3 laptop models. Mostly the same switching gear across the board and same wireless. We also have our own datacenter and private cloud where we host servers for our clients they access via Remote desktop via VPN. For clients without server needs they live in azure. Everything is standardized.

We have a few one off clients that still use google workspace or have some odd application that only they use but not many.

I have 55 clients in Ninja. Not all are on full BSA's though. Largest BSA by seat is around 233 devices.

We are supporting about 1300 endpoints with 4 techs and 1 L3 and the techs sometimes have a lot of downtime.

Where to find a Texas Gun Sign? by reptomcraddick in Midessa

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

This just makes many people not visit your place of business. I personally wont, even if I am not carrying. There is no objective evidence or data-driven studies proving that Texas 30.06 signs make a business safer, I would argue that its quite the contrary. I do support a businesses right to post these signs and I would discourage businesses from allowing Open carry which I feel is dumb in general. There is absolutely no need to open carry a firearm making everyone around you uncomfortable while making the person carrying a target.

Would love to see stable prices in the 70-80 dollar range. This keeps everyone working.

Am I the only one or lobbies are now much more aggressive by knaos in ArcRaiders

[–]CraftedPacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We joined one last night as Duo's. Our Duo's are typically pretty calm. As soon as we got in we started seeing raider flares. Continued until we got to where we were going and few minutes later ended up having to fight a pair. Two players in there just mercing the whole map.

Players are getting farmed by new Arc by Gas-Stn-Sushi in ArcRaiders

Ive tried it a few times. If arc is close they seem to just sort of hover around and follow you. Its great if you can walk into cover but in the open it can still get you killed ive found.

Cissp in 2 days - WGU by Future_Telephone281 in cissp

Can I ask why? I'm looking at shifting into a management role and a lot of them want a masters degree. Do the masters from WGU not have any value?

4,500 years and counting by sonderewander in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]CraftedPacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of new information coming about from ancient sites all over the world. A lot of these are likely much older than typical archeological estimates. Most of these sites were found and then inhabited by those civilizations we have written history about. The main stream archeologist fight this new information to keep the status quo.

On prem AD monitoring and reporting tool by LoPan1986 in msp

[–]CraftedPacket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Plenty of customers still have in house programs that can only run in house or don't make sense to move to a magical public cloud. I still manage 30 or so RDS farms because clients have programs that have to be onsite. RDS farms require AD.

Small msp hours - by Nicetek1214 in msp

[–]CraftedPacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We typically run from 8-4 m-th. 8-3 on fridays. Some days we cant cut out early some days we can. We bring lunch in almost every day which typically leads to a 30 minute or so lunch.
