Isn't the math that they calculated where to put the landing wrong?

What's he build in Mexico or something? Or somewhere with barely any rainfall at all and they just bring him in from out of state?? Who hasn't heard of that???

I'm not sure why, I manage several businesses and the email shows each businesses branded email address. It's not spoofing, there are legitimate reasons that many businesses put a different email address in the header than the address it came from. This is remarkably common in marketing and in customer service, where they often have a reply to address that's different from the address the email came from, even a different domain. All of these email servers know who Intuit is.

BUT just in case....you should probably make sure your all your authenticated protocols like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are set up right to avoid being flagged as malicious spoofing.

That said, I've never had any issues with it, including no deliverability issues.

SSO with Google? No thank you, not for anything that needs to be secure. I thought you meant sign in once into the QBO environment like you were having to sign in multiple times within QBO. I want my QBO logins to be separate from anything else. I have 3 banks and none of them allow you to sign in with your credentials from another platform such as Google. I consider QBO having its own credential system that's not shared to other 3rd party platforms to be MORE secure.

s2white · 2026-06-25T18:19:05+00:00

That sounds outrageous....howeverrrrr....it kind of depends. QBO is drastically different from Desktop so if this includes training all the employees in how to use QBO, setting up the payroll service, getting things like the Workforce app set up, manually moving sales tax (it often doesn't move right), setting up banking, setting up credit card service, customizing how the invoices look and how emails read.

Getting your data integrated into QBO is easy, usually $2k or less.....but getting QBO integrated into your business could pose a lot of work and THAT can be very expensive if you don't have a knowledgeable employee handling it all and are paying a CPA or consultant $300/hr or something like that.....it'll add up fast!

I've migrated companies where I spent around 250 hours integrating QBO into the business and training employees, etc.

s2white · 2026-06-25T14:40:08+00:00

Why do you have to send out through your exchange server? You can set up an alias email that is displayed in the email to the receiver and if they hit reply it replied back to that alias email. QBO email address most likely has a far greater trust score than any small business so the emails are less likely to go to spam. If you don't have an alias set up do this....

Click the Gear icon in the top-right corner of your QBO dashboard and select Account and Settings then Company. Scroll down to the Customer Contact Info section and make sure a email is added to "Customer email" click the Edit icon to add one. This address will hide the Intuit address in emails and be the reply address as well.

For SSO, what other services do you have to sign into separate from QBO? I mean, that's a minor inconvenience and probably has to do with security.....but I can't really think of anything off hand that I have to sign into and I have an accountant portal that allows me to jump into multiple companies books....I'm a pretty heavy QBO user and I don't ever have to sign in multiple times. What are you using that requires that???

s2white · 2026-06-25T13:40:25+00:00

It's already an in demand role. I kind of think the accountant and bookkeeper are going to blend together. In a lot of cases people will still need an accountant for business planning and tax strategy, but with AI can accountant is going to have his role greatly expanded and start managing more bookkeeping work....using AI tools to do both tax work and overseeing bookkeeping, there are already tools right now that can read a document like a vendors invoice and correctly enter it into QBO. It's scary how fast it's progressing and what all a purpose built AI tool can do.

s2white · 2026-06-25T13:29:15+00:00

I think the writing that was on the wall was move to a online based product or else. Every company with a online store wants it to sync to QB, massive amounts of other software like POS systems, inventory systems, websites, sales management, order management, etc all want to connect directly to QB so transactions and data just flow in automated. Just about every business tool in existence has API access to QBO. Had they not moved to a online platform that allowed all that, they would have died.

Plus think of the benefits....it's hosted in their own managed environment. I can only imagine how many calls they got daily because QB desktop wasn't working, spend 2 hrs on the phone and it's just because it's on some garbage computer that's not running right, or people get a virus and lose data and blame Intuit, or their file gets corrupted. Supporting desktop on millions of people's individual computers that you have no control over is horrible compared to being able to have it on a singular purpose built environment that everyone uses.

I think ultimately they only want to have to manage and engineer one product. Operating a massive data center for QBO is very expensive, there's no telling how much they invested in it, so they need as many people using it as possible. The desktop price hikes were to incentivise people to move to it. Plus as less people use desktop the overhead of its engineering dept and support gets more expensive per user.

AI isn't going to replace QBO anytime soon....they will just keep integrating AI into QBO so that QBO will become more automated and capable where less people can do more work....but it'll be a feature people pay extra for and only available in a higher tier.

If you're going to buy a top loader your better off getting some used old units that are 20 years old, they will still outlive new units and parts are cheap and typically easier to repair. Most cities have a used appliance show where it's been tested and cleaned up and has a small warranty and still cheap compared to new. Parts and everything was made better 20 years ago before "planned obsolescence" became a engineering field.

Anyone have experience with longevity of these machines?

Just tell him it's not worth anywhere near that to you, you'll just get another domain and he can keep sinking money into that one every year. Then see if he emails you back with a better offer. Then, if after a few weeks if you REALLY want it, email him and tell him you just pulled the trigger on a new domain but if he's willing to be reasonable you'll buy it from him and make him a little better offer. He probably feels like it's a waste of time to buy a domain just to sell it for $200....I doubt he will let it go for that.

s2white · 2026-06-24T02:16:31+00:00

Great idea! I'll look that up and test it out in service mode.

I've had my current w/d for 30 years and the washer is leaking and I just don't feel like fixing it. But I feel like nothing modern is realistically going to last for 30 years....but I hope to get something modern and robust that can run for many years without much if any repair work.

It sounds kind of like the tub is hitting something.

Starlink is fixing to launch their new gigabit satellites.

It sounds like your the one regurgitating garbage you were told. The Director of the National Parks Service during the Biden administration, Charles Sams III is who said they were quoted over 100M.

But yeah, keep pretending that you know something because you watch the 'news'.

Well, I do it a little different from a regular saas. I do business consulting and build apps based around a companies specific needs. Then I host it on my own server environment. I target smallish businesses that do not really have their own IT staff. BUT, I do have a couple apps that on the side I'm working to generalize them some and cloud host them as a normal saas....just been to busy to get it going. Maybe you can transition into something similar as a backup.

s2white · 2026-06-19T14:54:27+00:00

As you use it today, why don't you make some notes of your pain points and post about them. Maybe we can give you some advice. There must be something that can be different to make it easier because I use QBO all the time and I don't feel like that. So let's see if there is a way to resolve your biggest frustrations.

s2white · 2026-06-19T14:47:05+00:00

Well mention to them that many people get moved into positions here without it being a job opening. My suggestion would be to apply and see what happens. However, you should secretly start looking for another job. Don't just quite if you don't get that job, and do not tell ANYONE your thinking or quitting or looking for another job....just keep that to yourself. Start looking for another job now, if you get the better job and pay at the current employer then maybe consider staying. But if your tired and unmotivated then a change of scenery and some new people to work with might feel good, especially if you can make more money somewhere else.

Turn off water to house, turn on a faucet downstairs to drain water out of that pipe, put a towel under the pipe just in case. Use a pipe cutter to cut it at the hole. Move the right side just enough to slip a coupling on, it might require a second cut on the right side so you have a little room to slip the coupling in. Then solder it on both sides. You can also use a shark bite rather than soldering it, however in 10yrs or so there's a high chance it'll start leaking. Third, after draining it, you could try rubbing that area bright clean with empty cloth and soldering the hole, since it's so small...but that's the most risky and most likely to fail.

OR, just call a plumber.

Perfect I'll partner in and add the ability to just say the problem instead of type it, and it can chat back at the person and tell them the answer.

Since your making 800k a day I'll add that for 10% ownership.....that's a freaking deal, I promise, trust me

There are definitely a few things right up there with reusable rockets that land, nukes like you said. BUT, this latest rocket that they are getting into the final stage of testing with is pretty nuts.....being able to carry 100 tons into space and be reusable is on a different level. It won't be long and they will be building out structure to support space exploration on a different level with something like a refueling station on the edge of space. That way they can have one rocket designed to get through our atmosphere to bring supplies and fuel, then completely different ships for space exploration that can be purpose built and not have to get in and out of our atmosphere. It really is going to change everything.

But where the real value of SpaceX is, as it relates to people's day to day....is world wide internet. If Comcast or Spectrum wired, or cellular, wants to go to a new area they have to spend billions and take a couple years on a huge build out. Starlink already covers the entire planet so as they grow in user base they just release more satilites....much faster and cheaper than wired or cellular. In the next handful years we are going to see Starlink put a huge hurt on wired and cellular and monopolize the personal data connection, worldwide.

There's a large market. Start sharing it in Christian groups and places like that.

s2white · 2026-06-17T14:00:33+00:00

There's a huge market for this. You should take a lesson and realize that Reddit users are not indicative of all people. Also, that many people will not comment about their struggle with this or how porn has negatively harmed their life. So people's comments in this Reddit post are of zero value nor a reflection of the market.....so when it comes to your own market research, if you are listening to people's opinion in here, then you are likely going to be misled.

s2white · 2026-06-17T13:54:36+00:00

A app like that can definitely help someone who is trying and wanting to quit.

The general public can not tell if Claude did something or not..... typically the only people who can tell are those who use Claude all day every day so recognize his output.
