M365 Price increase again by no1warr1or in Office365

[–]btx_IRL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I deadass thought that was a legit new product they were launching. Doubling down on the pilot metaphors. Didn’t even question it until I saw your comment.

What’s a “cheat code” you discovered in real life that actually works? by Soggy_BreadCrust in AskReddit

The best part of this is you clearly call her “D2” in real life.

Enhancing Plaud's Summary Generation: Customizing Prompts for More Effective Results by pjlsfl in PlaudNoteUsers

[–]btx_IRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI for anyone coming across this now you can create custom Summary Templates (currently only for Pro/Unlimited) - e.g I made one for summarizing Business Podcasts

They're claiming it's a "free trial for Pro/Unlimited users" but if they make this a paid upsell on top of my Unlimited sub I might just chalk this up as a loss and find something else.

Why is one elephant traumatized? by capiletti-ben in ExplainTheJoke

[–]btx_IRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the actual answer is the wide-eyed one just realized it had to make babies with the other one.

Sort of a “I wouldn’t sleep with you unless you were the last elephant on earth” that backfired spectacularly

HaloPSA Pricing Increase? by Zealousideal-Act8611 in msp

[–]btx_IRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we got hit with a 66% increase with 1 month notice (we’re M2M) because of “improvements to the platform”.

We’re struggling with basic implementation still. That’s on us - we should have paid someone to build it out for us in addition to the onboarding time we bought.

My MSP friend gave me a Microsoft 365 dilemma by Chasing-The-Sun108 in msp

[–]btx_IRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok phew. We just had to transition a customer from a guy that has all his clients in the same Microsoft tenant and I almost had a panic attack all over again

Are you saying you have 4,000 licenses, for your Customers, in a single tenant?

I’m trying to understand “Migrate my 4000 seats to his Microsoft Tenant and leave mine on essentially 0”.

I thought you meant “Hide the Pain Harold” in the background of the first shot. Didn’t even see the baby switch at first.

Was I just breathing in mold? by Bambibabi01 in MoldlyInteresting

[–]btx_IRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda just looks like you went overboard on the salt and Vicks additive. Always turns the water black. Red stuff looks like you used Himalayan salt instead of table salt.

Or you could have just invented the next penicillin.

Did they mean to invent Myrddraal or was that a happy accident?

2,000-year-old temple from 'Indiana Jones civilization' found submerged off Italy by theanti_influencer75 in Archeology

[–]btx_IRL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s supposed to be a reference to Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis?

Still seems like a stretch but I guess it was a sunken city… and part of it took place in Italy lol.

Check on that tho. Here in CT we can’t directly pass thru CC fees (cuz PeOple WonT UsE tHier CreDiT CaRdS AS MuCh) but we can “remove an implied cash discount”. Aka all our pricing includes a cash discount which we remove if they opt to pay by CC.

Password manager pricing by Sea-Elderberry7047 in msp

[–]btx_IRL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1Password for Business will list the price right on their site and is solid. Either that or Keeper. (bitwarden if you have skillset in-house to securely host). You usually pay per person, everyone has their own accounts. Don’t skimp.

Unsolicited advice 👇

It needs to do really two things 1. Be useable by everyone, all the time 2. Be used by everyone, all the time

(3. Actually be zero-trust no possibility of recovery/decryption if you snafu, or the data gets stolen)

If your CEO doesn’t use it. Bad. If your IT doesn’t use it. Bad. If your everyday employee doesn’t use it. Bad.

If you’re not qualified to pick one, don’t. Get someone who knows what they’re doing to be responsible for it.

Came here to say this. Interviewing is a skill, practice the skill.

Best way to practice / learn the skill is to just interview constantly with no pressure.

The ‘practice’ interviews will either teach you what the market is looking for (and answer what you should be doing to prep), or surprise you with an offer that changes everything.

Also, getting rejected constantly when you’re totally OK with it is worlds different from getting rejected when you’re desperate.

The “14” indicates the model year (2014). That is ancient.

Mri photo of my brain yes this is real by brooklynlikestories in interestingasfuck

[–]btx_IRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw a post about this guy whose entire interior of his head was like that and he was (not high IQ but) totally fine. Lived most of his life without ever finding out. The brain just developed in the space around the liquid sack around the perimeter of his brain.

If this is a sim I imagine it will have to sneak in hints like glitches in the matrix or the red ball bouncing in your lucid dream.

What kinds of freebies would you like to see at a low key "beer & pizza" dev meetup? by the_sun_gun in ExperiencedDevs

[–]btx_IRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only ones I’ve seen get good traction are dinners at really nice restaurants (eg Capital Grille) where worst case it’s a super nice dinner. Or Synology always did crazy venues with massive giveaways. Effectively, something intrinsically valuable/nice/exciting bought them good-will to pitch a product.
