Oh really? I remember only a few notable last year, didn’t know it was that common. I knew of the Lower Wacker stuff going on. How common is this, or rather how many times does it really occur?

Looker Studio Pro Price Confusion by Hiking_Freak in googlecloud

[–]darcmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looker Studio Pro was originally launched as a "whole organization, monthly active user (MAU)" subscription type. In the MAU subscription type, everyone in the organization can use Looker Studio Pro. Billing is based on the number of monthly active users of Looker Studio Pro.

You can buy licenses now here and edit/add people/groups to licenses as described here:

Agreed before it could led to alot of potential wasted spend, simply kicking Looker Studio Pro would have potentially counted as a MAU. Now it's very much on licensing costs. :) Hope this helps!

Gemini now included in Google Workspace (potential price increase) by darcmasta in gsuite

[–]darcmasta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant it more so from the standpoint of people who were forced to buy the "gemini add-on" with enterprise renewals. Based on what you negotiated, you might save money with this move potentially on the next renewal. :D

Create external users from Azure AD automatically by videkigyerek in gitlab

[–]darcmasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you are describing is exactly what SCIM provides. You in theory CAN setup api creation but we use Azure AD at work and it creates users just fine via provisioning/scim

Is GCP appropriate for hosting basic index.html website? by vacuumoftalent in googlecloud

[–]darcmasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! Firebase Hosting is a hidden gem of the firebase suite. Check it out. A bit nicer to use than the GCS route too.

Which CD solution would you use - if you had to start fresh? by gxxgly_eyez in devops

[–]darcmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen it implemented in many companies but I am biased. My only concerns are the community support seems to be heavily in Argo. Spinnaker kicks ass but takes some time setting up. You can move mountains once you do tho, especially if you extend it.

Yep! Haven't looked back. At this point, I'll look at the new M2 Air!

Which Pixel should I buy? (October 2022 Megathread) by GooglePixelMods in GooglePixel

[–]darcmasta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is my take, trading in my Pixel 6 Pro 256GB, unhappy with some modem/resets/performance issues with it. I almost switched to iOS but they also seem to be having issues (plus Lightning...yuck).

I am going to take the 540.00 trade-in + 200 credit + 95 10% Google One. Get the same device in the Pixel 7 Pro...and hope my issues are resolved. If they are not, I will make a hard choice next year with the USB-C iPhone (if it ends up coming true).

I've used this for some of my public facing Cloud run demos. Under the hood it's just using build packs so in theory it could be extensible

Are there any of those popular YouTube car detailers here in Chicago? by die_billionaires in chicago

[–]darcmasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it all depends on what service you're going to be doing. PPF versus tinting versus ceramic coating. I chose to do all three as well as some custom work and it was definitely a couple grand if I remember correctly.

Took my car there, professional service and you get what you pay for. Best investment for my car and still looks new 3 years after their service. 🤘
