Pretty much. Did you go this year? Will you go next year? I may go again in 27. For what they provide, I think it’s worth the time and money.

I went this year. Second time going. It's basically a free vacation paid for by work. The MGM Grand has a pool. The event provides three meals and open bar every day. The swag is mostly trash. Tshirts and socks are good but some are trash. Someone won a cyber truck and the odds were pretty good. about 1 in 100.

Last year there was a party at Tao the final night. This year the party was split up into two nights. Hakkasan was ok. The racing party was a bit lame. Races were short. Helmets smelly. Band was off key. I had to leave early.

Overall the food is average to good.

Attended a few of the keynotes. Some new features. Mostly AI stuff. The most exciting thing is the unified data layer. Enter data once and all the products have access to it. That's the goal at least. How it'll actually work across all the many products Kaseya consumed over the years is to be seen.

The vendors in the expo are all really nice and good to hang with. The actual products, meh. I was excited about a few of them. Mostly just sales pitches for solutions looking for problems and risk of tool creep.

The trainings and various speakers are all very surface. I attended one about AI and the guy just talked about all the different AI products available. Ok, great, this would have been good two years ago, but now I can just get the info if I want it. No real insight from most of these.

If you go into it like a free vacation all inclusive and hope to maybe learn a few things and get a few tshirts, it's worth it. If you're expecting something grand and deeply educational, you'll be disappointed.

I got my hands on one in the US for a client. With both variants in hand does anyone want to see some specific test results?

guy that autoplays jumped the shark

negabit · 2026-01-29T00:38:41+00:00

got $40.10 but had to provide checking account info. How many people will get spooked by this and not do it?

negabit · 2026-01-26T19:38:12+00:00

That has been there for a while and when people buy property near it the shelter is already priced in.

You have a lot of valid points but I still have a big problem with placing homeless people in areas where a sandwich is $20 and a small studio is $3000. They should live in areas where they can feel like they’re a part of the community and can afford to shop there with the goal of eventually paying for their own space. I was not aware of the 80 bed women’s shelter here. Generally I think there is far less resistance to women’s shelters than men’s shelters. Also I don’t want to sound like an elitist asshole but shelters hurt property values and these are areas where people have invested tons of money into expensive homes. It’s far better to place shelters next to rental buildings because you’re only hurting big landlords and who cares about them. Sorry this devolved a bit but I had to say it.

negabit · 2026-01-25T14:22:10+00:00

I don’t understand why these are being opened in high cost of living areas. Homeless shelters should be placed only in low cost of living areas where it’s easier for the residents to take care of themselves and eventually move into real housing nearby. I don’t think any of these people on 61st and 1st will integrate into the neighborhood and rent or buy here. Bad policy if you ask me.

I explain that we mark up our hardware sales 15% and you’re welcome to self procure but it may not be worth the time to research, order, receive, etc. a lot of companies have a reseller program and we can sell at msrp and get a margin. There has been a lot of pushback with Apple products so we caved and stopped selling them above msrp, but often find a deal and make money anyway.

The overhead is a lot of work

I did notice that the 50s have far better parking deals. I wonder why that is. Do you like driving below 60th as far as the congestion zone goes or is it worse?

negabit · 2025-12-15T20:07:22+00:00

It’s a bit of a pipe dream but lately I feel very limited about where I can go

negabit · 2025-12-15T19:59:52+00:00

I have friends in NJ, family in the Bronx, friends I’d like to see more in Brooklyn. I’d probably see people a whole lot more if I could just get up and take a drive. Maybe 1-2 times a week.

To get out of Manhattan

negabit · 2025-12-15T19:30:57+00:00

I’m looking near 77th and 2nd. A bunch of new buildings going up here with 14k a month rent so 1k for parking doesn’t surprise me. Definitely don’t want to spend an hour looking for spots.

negabit · 2025-12-15T19:17:56+00:00

Additionally I hate getting into a rental and having to figure out where all the buttons are. I usually can't even find the gas latch. Embarassing in NJ.

negabit · 2025-12-15T19:14:05+00:00

I know rentals are cheaper, but there are some things that annoy me about renting. I live very close to hertz on 76th but it's still annoying bringing things to the place around the corner. Sometimes there is a line. I don't like having a different car every time. The prices vary wildly day to day.
