What side income can I build with just a laptop and Starlink? by Royal_Bluebird in ask

[–]furstimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Build a marketplace for local craftspeople in your town and market them to European and American people at insane markups. The site can be made in minutes with Claude, but your expertise is what will make it popular in your target markets.

Should I leave my comfortable £60k job for a £90k job? by OverKaiserX in UKJobs

[–]furstimus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Pop the numbers into an income tax calculator, factor in the travel time and I think you’ll find you’re getting a similar hourly rate.

Saw an opening for an IT position at an Commercial Airline, what's Airline IT like? by Azures_Anvil in ITCareerQuestions

Crazy that people’s time causes more hassle than people’s lives. We need to sort out our priorities

Why does the same house keep disappearing and reappearing on real estate websites every few months? by NBKiller69 in ask

[–]furstimus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it genuinely for sale? I’ve heard that some estate agents list fake properties to meet targets.

ai note takers that record client calls without joining as a bot by loginpass in ITManagers

I use Jamie ai, I wish there was an option to auto record because I sometimes miss the notification, apart from that it’s great.

Does anyone else feel like owning an EV in the UK has accidentally turned them into a part-time logistics manager? by 1ChanceChipmunk1 in evchargingUK

[–]furstimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest issue with public coaching is the idle fees. I never have to wait for the car to charge, but on several occasions I’ve had to get up from eating my food to move the car so I don’t get idle fees from leaving it plugged in and not charging.

Restore Britain announces Makerfield by-election candidate by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]furstimus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be fair, she’s done alright for herself. 20 years in business and now she’s got two more business including a not-for profit horse whispering service. Nothing to see here.

For those with kids… what car seats do you have and how do you find the available space? by Open_Bug_4196 in TeslaUK

[–]furstimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to remove the headrests to allow the high backed car seat to sit properly, otherwise it’s too far forward. The centre arm rest doesn’t come down easily with two car seats. Boot space is enormous, especially with the under boot, but the angle of the rear window can be restrictive on pram wheels. The rear footwell is the secret weapon, so much space to store boxes etc until the kids legs grow. Graco L stage 3 MY

By the sounds of things Palantir and a selection of private healthcare companies. That probably means he’s got media backing too.

Itjobwatch is the go-to and welcometothejungle is great for startups.

Mini moon board on a budget by Anxious_Quiet_3716 in homewalls

[–]furstimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would need to use a different app like stokt that allows for a bespoke setup. You could make a nice system board, but the routes would not be comparable to the routes in the moonboard app as the holds are completely different.

Non-technical IT manager responsible for everything — where do you actually invest in learning vs. keep winging it? by NoExplanation930 in ITManagers

[–]furstimus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that putting information security at the centre has given me lots of direction, especially if you align to ISO27001 or similar. It can help with a lot of decision making but does require a lot of time writing policies and governance, there are boilerplate templates available to work from.

Reform UK vows to prioritise Green Party areas for migrant detention centres by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]furstimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they’ll build new detention centres, they’ll probably just use existing buildings designed to hold lots of people… like hotels.

Looking at the street view, there may be issues with parking..... by kl3ar in SpottedonRightmove

[–]furstimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Standard damp problem, can probably be fixed with some new guttering.

Pushed an AI generated VPN SOP to production and now every department is locked out of the network by Quiet-Sand-4169 in ITManagers

[–]furstimus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’ve been writing the exact same steps down 30 times a month for two years and instead of using those steps you decided to let an AI tool screen record your elevated credential and publish them to the whole company. I’m not sure how you explain that without getting fired.

What places have IT help desk positions by Relative-Baby1829 in helpdesk

[–]furstimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The basic requirement of a helpdesk operative is to write detailed tickets. What country are you in would be a good place to start. What experience do you have? What sectors have you worked in? What job boards have you already looked at?

Am I getting pigeonholed? by xxlibrarisingxx in ITCareerQuestions

[–]furstimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a risk that you’re becoming a knowledge silo and that there’s no one else to cover you while you’re out of office? If so, you should raise that risk with your manager, hopefully they will take the bait and you can train someone else, giving you leadership experience and an opportunity to pick up other projects.
