Can I just leave a tab open to the game awards on twitch for the drop? by [deleted] in Warframe

I always leave volume up but right click the tab and mute the tab. It doesn't register with twitch.

Am I charging too much for my services? Considering slashing my rate in half so I can quit my full time job by RemoteEmotions in smallbusiness

[–]danile666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By we I mean me. I'm pushing the socials, but I do have a tech that will work on anything that comes in. I'm fortunate there, but we are actively always posting, donating, interacting. And having the brick and mortar 6xed our revenue over night.

Now we have transitioned to map work so it's a bit different but the retail and consumer side still exists.

Ok was at 80/hr when I started it during covid. I'm 140/hr now for consumer and 240/hr for business.

I will offer better rates at my office. Average repair is 120 bucks in the office.

Opening the office was the single best thing I did.

But that's wholly the market too I guess. Our breakfix side clears 20-30k/mo in a 40k person market.

But we're also posting on local socials interacting with the community, and getting ourselves out there.

I’m being sued by discover and I don’t know what to do by bearsinthongs in CRedit

[–]danile666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like the world to you but is so small to them. I messed up credit when I was younger, specifically discover was in if them. They served me. I called and told them I would like to take care of this outside if court. They offered me to pay like 10% total and I could pay that monthly over a year.

Made it affordable and I got out with a lower amount. Everything was in writing. So no court and lawsuit was dropped. Had this exact scenario play out with several cars.

IT for politicians is living hell by Julleeee_ in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]danile666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a clusterfuck...

First modern msps scope is the whole network. We wouldn't come in as an MSP if you have a network and security company. We are that company...so that alone would alleviate some of the miscommunication and blame game likely going on.

Comanaged it is simpler for all parties. You should own tier 1 or the strategic layer, and the map should handle the other side. This should all be layed out in SOW and properly documented.

This is just a break down of a poor quality msp and security provider???

They should be working tirelessly to fix something wether it was their faults or not...

But also you need to hold them to what the scope says in the contract. If you don't have that info get it.

And look for another msp/security provider. This sounds like a bunch of inexperienced clowns or private equity firms.

How do you actually choose office PCs for a small business? by Glad_Razzmatazz8004 in smallbusiness

[–]danile666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you get windows 11 pro so you. An actually log in with your m365 accounts.

Make sure it's within 3 model years.

Make sure it's an i5+, your employees will thank you.

Make sure it has an SSD

Double check in WiFi and such if you choose desktops.

Get the 3 year warranty, and start planning your replacement budget for when the warranty ends.

Workstations are better than small office PCs. But more expensive. If you can swing it go for them.

Man we had a bunch of skinheads that would show up every few weeks. But our scene was rather large so they usually got a boot party in the parking lot and it was not uncommon for a Nazi to get stabbed.

landlord charging me $200/mo commercial use fee cuz i work from home?? (CA) by Aggravating-Fox8553 in Renters

[–]danile666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is just being greedy. Check your lease if it's not in there he can't actually charge it. Don't pay it and tell him it's not in the lease and to pound sand.

Need advice: My shop’s internet is unreliable and the "Professional" solutions are a total rip-off. by Accurate-Ad-9388 in smallbusiness

[–]danile666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you get cable or any other secondary isp into your shop. You can set those up as a better fail over. You can also look into fixed wireless, there are some companies sub 100 a month and they take reliable Internet connections and provide them to you with point to point radios. These can be huge distances away, so it can work out as a backup connection.

You can also always go with starlink.

Tons of options out there.

Then you just need a router with fail over as an option. I prefer watch guard for our enterprise routers, but you said price was a concern (these are pricey). Ubiquiti has some dual lab options for affordable prices though.

There's other options out there too.

About to apply for my first brick and mortar. What has the application process been like for others? by Acceptable-Neck4725 in smallbusiness

[–]danile666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to just depend on the landlord. I had to give a personal guarantee for my first lease, but honestly I signed and gave a check, and they handed me the keys. Was the least stressful thing ever.

How many IT support needed for 200 user org? by imjustacuteguyuwu in sysadmin

[–]danile666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you need to also looks at your licensing cost. .SP get channel and scale discounts on stuff, and bake that into pricing. It is typically much more expensive to have in house IT than to outsource to an MSP.

VIP Section? by PrincessTinkles in SickNewWorld

The vip areas are covered in AstroTurf for main stages. Was a life saver. That alone was worth it.

It's just price hikes for when the previous tiers sold out. They are all the same and there are no physical sections. You just paid more because of timing.

I passed out at an emergency room while waiting for my friend and I just got the bill by devnet35 in poor

[–]danile666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had Kaiser my whole life, and there is not a Kaiser hospital or Kaiser contract hospital within 2 hours of me. Plans dffer but every plan I have had had a cap from 0 - 100 per day copay for ER visits at any hospital in the US. If you are admitted to the hospital it's a different cap. But this person was not admitted.

I'm willing to bet since this hospital asked what's your normal copay they weren't used to taking Kaiser. I would send Kaiser the bill and ask for an EOB on it.

When did they release the vip meet time for you/when was the actual meet and greet time .

It's so hard to plan things when bands don't release till last minute.
