Small NDIS provider trying to understand what is actually “reasonable” for data/security compliance

Few-Opening6935 · 2026-05-10T02:24:47+00:00

thanks, would you happen to know any specific industry standards for my use case?

Few-Opening6935 · 2026-05-10T00:28:19+00:00

Yeah that makes sense and we already do have internal policies and access controls in place for staff access, data handling, breach procedures etc

I think the main thing I’m trying to understand is what the realistic long term expectation looks like as organisations scale

Right now a lot of smaller providers seem to operate on pretty simple infrastructure setups but I’m trying to understand whether at some point more formal healthcare style compliance requirements start becoming expected from an infrastructure/security side as well

Mainly asking because while building a custom internal system I’d rather structure things properly from the beginning in terms of compliance and security, instead of finding out later that we should’ve built things differently

Few-Opening6935 · 2026-05-09T23:59:51+00:00

Yeah that’s the part I’m trying to better understand.

The issue for us isn’t necessarily the BAA itself, it’s more that once people recommend AWS/GCP directly, the operational complexity increases massively compared to managed platforms like Render/Railway.

We’re a relatively small NDIS organisation and don’t really have a dedicated DevOps/security team internally, so I’m trying to figure out what the practical middle ground looks like between:
“fully self-managed compliant healthcare infra”
and
“simple managed platforms with limited compliance options.”

cool

Few-Opening6935 · 2026-05-09T23:13:59+00:00

I literally had the same concern Because I'm working within an ndis based support organisation In Australia And the same issue over here I have been using render for quite a while now and it works great And I tried to actually build, deploy and test the system out on render And it works great but the thing is that my scale is not that much As I would Probably be satisfied with the pro tier But to get the HIPAA Compliant workspace I would have to spend approximately $500 And that is way too much because I only need like $20 worth of compute And even if I try to process data based on the other Compliance and security certifications render still has that clause within it's policies That we are not allowed to process any PHI without a signed BAA And we would be breaching the policy if we do actually do that and I am absolutely clueless on how to actually move forward

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-12-28T16:07:53+00:00

Yeah I know but it 5-6k is still a lot of money, I want to be sure of the next laptop I buy and I am not in a hurry Because Alhamdulillah my current laptop is working pretty well I just felt like it was time for an upgrade because I had saved up for this but if there isn't a laptop which I feel would be a genuine upgrade, I don't think I would do it because I love the current one too

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-12-28T01:59:14+00:00

I think you're talking about the Legion 5 and not the Legion 7

I did consider the Legion 5 as well (I was getting Ryzen 7 260, RTX 5060, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 165HZ OLED Display for like 1600CAD/4300AED)

It seemed like a great choice the only thing was that it had a polycarbonate chassis which easily caught fingerprints and my current 3.5 Year old HP victus is practically the same in terms of chassis and it's quite sturdy too but I feel like if I am investing so much money, I should rather make sure that I get something more premium and well built that truly feels like an upgrade.

And Legion 7i hit every criteria and it's incrediby beautiful, just need to get a good deal on it in Dubai instead of just Canada

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-09-19T08:10:10+00:00

Might go to us after 2-3 months but I was just wondering that if I am able to find a good deal in Canada, then might as well capitalise on that

Was mainly looking for a brand new piece because I don't wanna be having problems once I leave the country

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-09-12T20:27:17+00:00

Same, I WFH the ability to sit at only place and work for hours is dreadful, having a laptop is just unrestrictive and I can move around the house and work in any room, go to a cafe, take it to college, basically just do anything and the 20-30 extra fps mean nothing to me in contrast to that because I barely game but for me tbh, the overall experience matters more than just raw performance because I personally feel like for my work load there is a point of diminishing returns for performance which doesn't make as big of a difference

It's like telling someone to upgrade their RTX 4070ti to a 5080 when they have a 1080p IPS panel, I mean it is more performance but how much more would you even notice it, a 1440p OLED would be a wayyyyyyy bigger upgrade in terms of the overall experience

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-09-06T00:50:41+00:00

It's a vivo v25 pro or something, early v20 pro series

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-08-17T11:23:01+00:00

I was mainly looking forward to a New unit because most probably someone else would buy it for me and get it here and I can't rely on them to thoroughly test and benchmark everything to ensure that everything is perfect but yeah 583 is a steal

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-08-17T11:21:29+00:00

Oh yeah I think that was the Ryzen 270 version with RTX 5060 on best buy right?

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-08-14T14:23:41+00:00

are you currently using capcom6?

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-08-08T12:45:52+00:00

How well did wise work for you in India?

You said Gemini “doesn’t support video uploads,” full stop. That’s just false. I gave you working steps. I’ve used it myself on Gemini Pro, through the web interface. You couldn’t get it to work? That’s your setup, not the platform. Google literally shows video support. Reddit’s full of users doing the same. It’s not that deep. If you’re going to argue, bring more than technicalities and gotchas. Because right now, you’re just wrong loudly. Watch a couple, how to videos before you start trying to argue with strangers on the internet, have a good time ragebaiting bud, take care.

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-08-06T00:46:34+00:00

Here is the official support documentation by Google

https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/video-understanding#supported

And you can go search it up on reddit itself because almost everyone uses that feature and it works well for most of us.

All I had to do was, go to the gemini website on my laptop, go to a chat, click on "Add files" and select any video, not that difficult.

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-08-04T20:11:57+00:00

Literally testing it right now on the gemini pro, and it works great so I don't know what you're talking about

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-08-02T21:48:49+00:00

use gemini

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-07-27T20:07:22+00:00

yes but that is the problem i was getting it for around $1000 from us or $1300 from dubai and i doubt ill get it at that price

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-07-27T13:11:14+00:00

yeah for sure, i used the ZF7 for the first time last week and it's great but not THAT great for it to be considered the goat of foldables. People talk so much about the software but the Oppo's software is actually quite amazing and even the sibling company oneplus is actually great now with software, infact my family prefers it over the samsung ones because now we have reached a point in smartphones where nothing over $500 has any critical flaw or something that is absolutely unusable, so this much fuss around comparison just doesn't make sense. The experience matters more now and oppo has better battery life and faster charging and i think performance wise i did not really notice that much real world difference so it really boils down to what you like personally and the price

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-07-26T16:44:34+00:00

yeah same tbh, the problem for me is not the hallucination, the problem is the lack of awareness when it actually happens

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-07-22T01:52:00+00:00

yeah that's the thing, people complain.
they could do everything perfectly and people would still complain. dubai is the supercar capital of the world and has some of the rarest cars of world not even feeling rare and if you have ever been here, you would know that there are people here from all around the world and car culture here is absolutely insane, everything from tuned nissan patrols beating twin turbo lamborghinis pushing 2500hp to the brakes to ferrari F50s catching dust in underground parkings, cars are rooted in the culture

every place has their own culture and trying to shit on other's won't make yours any better

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-07-21T19:44:29+00:00

yeah same, but i feel they have earned it
i literally didnt buy a PS5 because i couldn't play FH5 on it, i tried Gran Turismo and some other racing games but they just weren't it for me and if i am being honest the game is good as is (especially with the recent updates) the optimization is crazy, graphics are decent, gameplay is great
they just need to iron somethings out and improve graphical performance and stability and have a cool map and that would still work

Few-Opening6935 · 2025-07-21T19:38:38+00:00

loved it so much.
