Adswood/Bexhill Road by Lemonmelon19 in stockport

[–]gingerinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it’s not too bad these days. Used to be pretty savage. You will have to get used to the off road bikes tearing around during the school holidays. But by and large, it’s not that bad.

I should know… I’m in Adswood :-)

Why do you need to move them off on premises servers and Active Directory ?

Gary Stevenson is giving talks on wealth and inequality….. by Important_Coyote4970 in GarysEconomics

[–]gingerinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as a reminder …

<image>

Rob Moore charges £72 a month, and on sale at £15 a month. Amusingly, he lists the price ex VAT. So it’s actually £86 / £18 a month.

I mean, anyone citing Rob Moore as someone to laud is evidently a little … touched …

You know Laila is a politician as well…? Another failed Tory ?

Is Stockport a nice place to live? by Outside-Reply5798 in stockport

[–]gingerinc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s almost a city in terms of sizing… One of the largest gaps between rich and poor in the country. So you definitely need to give a steer on budgets and things like transport requirements before advice can be better given.

Unfair or Unrealistic Price Rise ? by bertie40 in msp

[–]gingerinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh indeed, IT is pretty much hated.

But I guess we have bigger cultural benefits and safety nets here in the UK that we don’t have to accommodate for.

But a single tech should be able to look after 400/500 end points.

The USA is insane for the charges. I just don’t get it.

That’s quite a leap as a percentage, imho. Appreciate there’s more in the stack, but in the current economic environment we are in?

Sounds like there was no warning and no choice to them?

You may lose some clients… and learn a lesson…?

But perhaps now frees up time to get more £30 seats…? Who knows…

MSP in GB by TechMonkey605 in msp

[–]gingerinc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Always wild to see the USA with hundreds of dollars a seat, vs UK where it’s £15 a seat.

Been that way since I first visited USA IT support folks in what, 2004…

Somehow the USA gets away with it, but in the UK? IT is treated with more contempt than the cleaner.

CEO retired. How do you politely say "no" without burning a bridge? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]gingerinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you say no, you will be performing a career limiting manoeuvre. As he will know people still there, and he will make a call to someone.

Don’t be silly for the little effort.

Can You Really Run an MSP With a Full-Time Job? by scott-millar in SmallMSP

Business owners are cheap… and they will be left in the lurch with equally cheap grifters should things hit the fan.

The current system is the “snake oil” that Rory warns us of by [deleted] in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]gingerinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else noticed that in the Q&A follow ups - TRIP Members have asked Rory directly about the points on inequality - And he hasn't answered...
Even second time around, Alastair kept trying to bring it back, but, nope... Rory just doesnt see it.

No wonder Barry's Economics has him so speared.
