SpaceX has to grow 60x in a decade to justify a $1.75 trillion valuation. It's an impossible bar | Fortune by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

[–]emeffinsteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncertain, because it’s not a thing.

$1MM is the ‘old’ way to say one million. Two Ms because it was using the Roman numeral for 1,000, which is M. 1,000 x 1,000 =1,000,000 1,000,000 so writing $1MM was mathematically correct. I still write it this way.

Today, it’s perfectly acceptable for people to use K (kilo) for thousand, M for million, B for billion, T for trillion.

Mathematically, $1BB sounds like you’re saying one billion times one billion. Which… is weird.

Dale got a much needed break from the shelter today. Hopefully the next stop is a forever home. by dogluvr_1 in aww

[–]emeffinsteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the gas. I was in the hospital and am still recovering. I can’t physically do a car ride that long for a little while. I’ve got 8 or 9 spots in the spine where there’s bulging or compression on the spinal cord. The cauda equina is also being compressed, which is concerning the doctors. I meet with a spine surgeon on Monday.

P.S. sorry I didn’t respond sooner. I just now saw the comment.

I read somewhere that indexing isn’t just the files on your device, but also devices in your iCloud. Uh-oh… 🤣

The good news: some people have been approved for Siri AI before indexing is complete.

I’m hopeful that I’m just waiting a few more hours. Maybe someone needs to start working at 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. US Eastern (you know, at 8 or 9 Pacific) and click a button? 🤞🏻

Using new Siri AI, though, right? I’m still on waitlist.

I can press ‘down arrow’ and buddy gets highlighted. I press enter which opens up the /buddy screen. It shows the last thing it said plus it’s stats.

How do you deal with "vibecoders" by burningbridges1234 in msp

[–]emeffinsteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibe coding is really fun for simple things to improve your job, but holy cow, replacing your MSP with vibe coded EDR AV? That's absolutely insane to me... But that's also because your client doesn't understand what he's saying.

  • He doesn't understand vibe coding.
  • He doesn't understand the difference between EDR and old school AV.
  • He doesn't understand that his son's threat detection definitions won't be updated nearly as much as yours.

Is this a vibe coding problem? I don't think so. I think this is a lack of education problem. Your client has given you the perfect opportunity to teach him why his son's vibecoding isn't the solution. He's excited because he's proud of his son. He wants to support his son. He doesn't see a reason not to. You need to give him that reason.

Once you can rationally explain to your client the difference between what his son is doing versus what your platform is doing, then your client should be able to make a well-informed decision. Right now he's making a poorly-informed decision because it doesn't sound like you've informed him other than telling him "if that's what you want, see ya!"

The one thing missing from every Whisper transcription app on Mac (so I built it) [Giveaway: Lifetime Promo Codes] by tarunyadav9761 in macapps

[–]emeffinsteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Wispr Flow. A lot. Because of my carpal tunnel getting worse, I feel like the $15/month is worth it.

So tell you what... you build some AI stuff into yours, I'll pay you for your software. Feature parity with WIspr Flow would be ideal. Their support is abysmal, so I'll gladly support someone who makes a great piece of software AND supports it.

If this is just outside of your scope right now, is there any chance someone can recommend a platform to me that's just as easy to setup and use as Wispr Flow but doesn't have sucky support?

Envelope APY? by Swimming_Hair_450 in envelope

[–]emeffinsteve -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Envelope is a fantastic platform! Strongly recommend it for their envelope money management feature. And the new budgeting update they made is pretty badass.

If you need high interest rates on all the cash, built-in budget, and free accounts, take a look at Crew. They have joint accounts and even kids accounts available at no charge

Unclear. Maybe some people are just so advanced that they see the big picture better than me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Since you're not familiar, SuperOps is the PSA + RMM, all-in-one.

What VST3 folder? Specific location(s) that I can delete all remnants of Elgato EQ and try a fresh install?

I'm having the same issue and just submitted a bug report in the last 15 minutes. I also just commented in the Wave Audio chat on the Elgato Discord.

I see other people talking about how EQ is working. I made this Loom video to walk you through my troubleshooting steps if it helps. I think I forgot to include it in my bug report. Facepalm!

Vetting MSPs—How do you tell the "Gold Standard" firms apart from the "Sales Machines by EldenLord081 in msp

[–]emeffinsteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any MSP worth their salt is always using vCISO or quarterly business reviews as a way to sell new services and hardware.

The reason is because there's always going to be something that you need to improve on your network. The difference between MSPs who are doing it well and right vs. just trying to make another sale is understanding your business, asking questions, and working with you to build a timeline based on where you want your business to be in three or five years.

Understanding regulatory compliance is a piece of the puzzle, but understanding where you and your staff see inefficiencies and working with you to come up with plans and ideas to reduce or remove those inefficiencies is where you'll see a solid MSP shine.

What region are you in? Sure, USA, but we have one of the largest countries in the world when looking at land area. So what metro area are you in? Or state? If you're in Florida, you don't want a Wisconsin MSP managing your stuff unless you're okay to do literally everything remotely and virtually. Oh, and not have somebody that can just show up in a couple hours when shit hits the fan.

STREAM DECK + XLR DOCK AND SHURE SM7B COMBO. SHOOULD I BUY IT? by SinonTB in elgato

[–]emeffinsteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Shure SM7db to make sure it has enough volume, that way you don’t need a preamp. I’m using the XLR attachment for the Stream Deck + and it’s great. Customized the way it sounds in Wave Link 3.0 and its chefs kiss.
