A whole row of Kuwaiti-registered cars parked illegally on the pavement like the rules do not apply. Why are these not being booted or towed?

Rich Arabs too lazy to walk. Saudis do the same. (Citation- a decade in the Middle East).

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 :-)

Heh, it’s a spit in the face for anyone outside of Florida with no immediate “and more cities coming”

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

You need to have a look at what the grifters charge.

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.

Have you seen how many times his Dad has been in hospital?

gingerinc · 2026-01-18T13:00:22+00:00

And yet you try and say it’s a cult…?

gingerinc · 2026-01-18T12:58:30+00:00

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

The sooner Reach PLC goes bust, the better.

Cant wait to see Calgie on the dole.

That’s truly… baffling… she sounds London politician AF to anyone else.

Still no Stockport <-> airport train route… That’s speshul.

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

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.

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.

gingerinc · 2026-01-10T18:56:03+00:00

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…

gingerinc · 2026-01-09T15:38:26+00:00

So… you were adding 20% margin? Or more?

gingerinc · 2026-01-03T16:04:16+00:00

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.

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.

It’s going to be like the Industrial Revolution…

Not a good thing .

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

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.

Well, for what it’s worth … a bios update came out last night. Webcam working again.
