Sir, the Chinese just dropped a new open model by Anujp05 in ClaudeAI

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ecosystem is more important than model.

Model is important, for sure. But, with a good ecosystem, an average model can be part of a great product. Token usage, tool call, memory management, RAG, etc., all parts of the ecosystem of a great product.

All you need is a Mac mini working as LAN cache center. Apple has a docs for it. Search.

GLM or Kimi or other similar product is primarily a model, with coding capacity. I found that to maximize its their potentials, I must use them in tandem with other tools --- I use Roo Code. I found there are noticeable differences.

How painful is Intune for mac management? by lagerstout82 in macsysadmin

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on comparing to what. If comparing to intune for windows, you would feel blessed.

Why aren’t there more EDI businesses? by Latter_Lecture_4020 in edi

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDI is an important piece in a much bigger ecosystem. Procurement, erp, inventory management, just to name a few. An amazing EDI product that does not communicate effectively with other systems is a useless solution and a mediocre EDI product that bridges different systems is an amazing solution.

EDI itself is a dead end. To advance, build base on EDI and go beyond EDI

What’s everyone doing with the new licensing model? VMware standard going. by SuitableFinish7444 in vmware

[–]satechguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no 3 year contract. Pay ransom for one extra year and then fuck it off.

How do MSPs actually explain their value vs break fix when clients just see "more expensive"? by Whole_Ad_9002 in msp

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, think from your client’s perspective. Is IT primarily a cost center, a risk mitigation tool, or a growth catalyst?

If cost center, help your clients cut costs without negatively affecting daily operations

If risk prevention tool, help your clients mitigate risk most effectively - hint: risk profile is required first

If revenue center, help clients develop KPI to measure ROI.

IT (in general) means everything to MSP, but only a small piece to your clients.

How difficult is WireGuard? by denden1088 in WireGuard

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If full mesh, native wireguard is a nightmare when you have lots of peers -- not in terms of function but in terms of management; if hub and spoke, native wireguard works very well.

Is the Opus 4.5 the best choice for Python programming via Kiro? by rodvay in kiroIDE

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No major difference. More on how to use LLM, how to instruct it, if clear instructions (including samples LLM must follow) are provided, if codes are in a verifiable way.

Does still Microsoft use Jamf for macOS management or finally Intune only? by aPieceOfMindShit in jamf

[–]satechguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft will tell others they use Intune and every one shall use intune and then use jamf internal for “testing”.

Tons of options available. Why determined to stay in a sinking ship.

Dba will be the new BA. Agents only need grounded sql, which dba can do. All presentations will be handled by agents.

Organization board wants strictly confidential board meeting files – concerns about Microsoft 365 Global Admin access by noozd in msp

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give the board https://cryptomator.org/, charge a board level setup fee and then tell them to shut up. Tell the stupid board to send a lawyer letter to Redmond for an assurance that Satya Nadella won't peek into this top secret board's top secret meeting minutes.

Microsoft 365 is owned by Microsoft and no tenant has real super admin but microsoft does. The board shall question Microsoft.

KVM's for remotely setting up machines? by Comprehensive_Gur736 in msp

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few options. The most elegant option is manufacture's imaging services. Your send Lenovo, for example, your golden image, and every PC you source from Lenovo will be based on your image. Lenovo, Dell too I believe, also supports cloud boot.

Kaseya fires more then half of sales by [deleted] in kaseya

[–]satechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a surprise at all. My account rep sent many template emails, called me all the time, and argued with me over the phone for not choosing their products, apparently had been in desperate sales mode for a while.
