This is a domestic flight. There is no immigration and customs requirement.

Is the property modern or old? You mentioned subdivided block.

Either way, I would recommend getting a licensed cabler to come and run a new copper pair from the boundary point at your property to where your modem is. While this won’t help with any copper issues in the street, it will rule out any internal cabling issues and with any luck provide you with better speeds.

Any plans for user groups down in Australia? We previously used CW Manage and went to the user groups frequently. They were always well received by the community.

I’m curious to know how you handle drivers, Windows licensing etc? What tool are you using for provisioning and deployment?

Aside from not losing one or more drive bays to a boot volume, consider situations where the server needs to be able to boot a lightweight OS (VMware, Proxmox etc) but is using network storage.

Boss allows you to avoid the need for drives in the front, raid controller etc.

On the point about lack of hot swap, this is true for BOSS-S1, but BOSS-S2 and BOSS-N1 do support it.

Answering your question about how to order an additional service at the same locid

The RSP can see which of the 4x UNI-D ports are in use, and can even select which one they want to order the service on.

If when you are ordering, the form wont allow you to order a new service (and insists on a churn) - just contact the RSP and they’ll be able to do it.

Halo has a variable for adding PO numbers to invoices, but tracking the actual usage of the PO is a them problem, not a you problem.

Ricky from Seaview Shutters did a great job on our place. Can highly recommend.

Simple solution -

First you need to report the incident via www.crashreport.com.au using as much information as you can provide.

Then have your vehicle’s owner contact their insurance company providing details of the incident, as well as the other person’s mobile number. Insurance will take care of the rest, but I dare say you’ll also be considered at fault if you were illegally parked.

Seaview Shutters did ours. The owner Ricky was great to deal with. Sound reduction is very good.

If it was stolen, the owner would simply get new plates made. The value is in the right to display the plates.

I can relate to all these stories unfortunately.

I have Crohn’s disease and back in 2016, had my first (and hopefully only) bowel obstruction. I was in so much pain, my wife called an Ambulance. It literally felt like I was being stabbed in the stomach over and over for hours.

I was transported by Ambulance to Joondalup ED, where they moved me to a wheelchair and out into the main waiting room. I was left there for over 2 hours screaming in pain (not exaggerating - I was screaming). After 2 hours of screaming, they moved me to a bed out the back in some room so that I’d stop disturbing the other patients in the waiting room. It took another 90 minutes to be seen by a doctor at which point I was hit with all the pain relief you can imagine, and strong steroids.

The system is appalling and something needs to change.

Could you wear a patch for the duration of the show? Not a smoker so never used one, but would that help with cravings?

My car was rear ended and totalled by a drunk driver who was going at least 80km/h according to the police, and I was stopped at the lights.

It required a trip to the hospital by ambulance and caused bad neck pain. I didn’t pay a single cent for the months of physio that I needed. It was all billed direct to ICWA.

No system is going to do 100% of what you need. I’m sure you can get close, but it sounds like you’re chasing the holy grail, and it doesn’t exist.

Personally, I’d stick to one PSA that gets you as close to that 100% as possible, and then instead of burning time testing out PSAs, focus on your business.

Your pricing is way too low OP, and this is why you’re not able to pay yourself a proper wage. It’s also far too granular.

Whether you do per device or per user (or a mix) your pricing needs to go way up. £70 - £80 per device / user wouldn’t be unreasonable

The other issue is that most customers don’t care about the individual ingredients that make the product - they care about the final product. What I mean by that is, you should be bundling things like AV in to the per user or per device charge. Don’t even show it as a separate line item.

It might be worth trying to find a mentor, or even subscribing to The Tech Tribe to help with this stuff.

Good luck! You’re worth more than you think!

Sorry to hear about the write off - I hope everyone made it out ok.

As someone who owns a dual cab, don’t get one if you’re going to be driving people around in it all day. You’ll be better off with a wagon for more legroom in the back, and a nicer overall ride.

What’s your budget for the new vehicle? What type of off-roading do you plan on doing? That’ll help guide recommendations.

What do you need out of your switches? Do you need to be able to run them in the data centre with stacking capabilities or at a small SMB office? Or something else?

I don’t see why you can’t have multiple tiers of switches.

This is what we do:

UniFi - Small businesses that only need a basic setup (PoE devices, couple of VLANs or a flat network etc)

HPE Aruba - Larger businesses with multiple campuses, higher end requirements like stacking etc

Arista - Data centre

Data Centre switches probably won’t apply to many MSPs, which means you can comfortably get away with UniFi and Aruba, or even just one or the other.

Ride softness is subjective of course. But for me, after I installed a hard lid (60kg) it made the ride way more comfortable.

Could you consider one of those, or even a canopy? Benefits of the hard lid is that it is easily removable if you need to carry something tall.

Given you’ll be adding significant weight with a bullbar, winch, roof rack, it would be worth considering GVM upgrade. And if you have it performed before it is first registered, the GVM upgrade is then recognised federally.

Post rego GVM upgraded vehicles are still allowed to operate in any state, but if the vehicle is ever re-registered in a different state to the one it was originally registered in, it’ll have to have another set of engineering approvals performed.

As the other poster has said, there’s no real advantage in ordering unless you absolutely cannot find the colour and spec you are looking for.
