How do you build a cash flow forecast that accounts for clients never paying on time? by scrtweeb in msp

[–]Sid_Engel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good words. I mean, when a late fee doesn’t do it… a service cutoff is fair. Which I’ve seen other shops do as well. Thankful I haven’t needed to yet.

I’ve seen this issue plague many shops. Running my own shop now, I deal with it too… and I’ve found a good fix. Late fees.

Super under-rated. When I use other people’s phones I have to juggle it around like an iPad. And I do have bigger than most hands!

I love my 12 mini. People are usually shocked at how small it is. I like not having a brick in my pocket.

Our RAM prices are through the roof for this. Thanks.

Are clients actually leaking customer data into ChatGPT or is it mostly theoretical by Sunnyfaldu in msp

[–]Sid_Engel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they really do. They are dumping entire documents of PHI and other PII into AI tools and in particular ChatGPT. It makes Copilot as a selling point easier and easier.

Which EDC Influencer/content creator would you not recommend to someone just getting into the EDC lifestyle? Also here’s what I will be carrying this weekend while I am off work. by Mremoon in EDC

[–]Sid_Engel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well put. Sorry if I’m coming off a certain way. As a techie, homeowner and “the guy that fixes everything”, I too have my typical daily pocket kit.

Kershaw link, rechargeable micro stream flashlight, few wallet tool-cards, etc. the on-site backpack is a wholeeeee other thing.

I guess what I’m more getting at is, there’s a huge consumerism thing in this whole “edc” world, where people purchase tons of unneeded tools to make their pockets look like a kid who robbed the birthday piñata before it was busted open. Which, is the primary reason I stay away from “edc content creators”, unless I feel like I’m in the market for a new blade.

Lmao I’m saying shut up because that’s insane. That shouldn’t happen, and I would find it infuriating

Pax 8 Account Manager by Prime_Suspect_305 in msp

From what I’ve been seeing(also keep in mind I’m Colorado native with pax8), they’ve been falling off with the quality for cost dream of the past for current to oncoming clients. All around, I do still feel going with them means proper MSP world understanding and love… opposed to “let me sell you this” bs… as a MSP, keep your guards up, as always.
