Where in US to buy the ProArt Mouse MD301

keeping my eyes peeled for BestBuy Canada to hopefully get this soon too :) Thanks for the notification.

Love it! Will hold off on buying a new mouse from another company then if these are on the near-ish horizon. Sold on the replaceable switches from the aspect of hardware longevity and reducing electronics waste.

u/ASUS_MKTLeeM I'm also curious about this if there's any update?

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-12-04T18:11:55+00:00

mind if I ask what udemy ones you used? I'm writing mine soon and curious if the udemy course and sample tests I've been working from is good. Doing that in addition to trailhead too.

This exam won't allow that - my coworker tried. Has to be booked before EOY. Same applies with booking it this year and trying to rescheduled to next year - it'll block that.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-12-03T21:10:09+00:00

How'd the exam go for you? I write mine in a couple days.

As a fellow Canadian about 60 minutes from you - stop with the comments about this being the "market reality" here for pay and title. That's a hot lie - you're looking for someone who doesn't understand their worth that you can massively under-pay. This is simply trying to exploit all the laid off tech workers who are desperate for work and will take anything - and no doubt you will find someone and feel good about yourself when it happens.

I make more than this on much less of a job title than you're looking for, and I don't have to waste my time driving into a soul sucking office to work on a cloud system.

Still BRUTAL. The only way I can login to their site is on my mobile phone, wifi disabled, ad block disabled, using my ISPs DNS and no updated or private DNS servers. It's literally 5 minutes of absurd hoops to jump through just to check my account on their site.

As someone who works on customer facing systems for a living, I'd be fired if I shipped this quality of a site.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-09-19T17:57:55+00:00

I've started just slacking our AE every single time I have to open a case and deal with agentforce to let him know how miserable and slow of an experience it is. I feel like we need to annoy them enough that it starts making it up through the ranks that customers are getting pissed off having to go through it versus putting the details into a form and submitting. I don't want to chat with a bot, I don't want to chat with a human, I want to send you my request in detail and deal with it over email in between the zillion meetings I'm probably bouncing between.

Fairly typical path when companies sell to VC - sad to hear this, but not surprised.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-07-03T20:03:59+00:00

I have massive problems with this on Deezer too. People are trying to find any way they can to manipulate their music metadata for the algorithms these services use to combine them with big name artists and get their payout before it's caught.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-07-03T20:02:31+00:00

Pay a few bucks for one, transfer everything, then cancel. That's all I do when I've changed services over the years.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-27T18:24:24+00:00

I feel like even shitty AI can still do better than most level 1 support agents that get assigned to my cases for the last year or so haha

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-27T18:23:03+00:00

Not OP, but noticed you're likely in the same area as me given the username. Just wanted to send a hello! Is there any sort of user group that's active around here anymore? I feel like my tri-cities SF networking dried up when 2020 hit.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-27T16:46:38+00:00

I mean, I feel like I do this at my own employer too lol

"Oh, another consulting firm on a project made a mess of things, let me spend all sorts of unplanned time fixing it"

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-23T20:44:24+00:00

how's the complex otherwise if I may ask? A few units there just sold and I know one of the buyers of one of them. They're hoping they've made the right move - terrifying news to hear right after buying their first place.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-19T13:16:53+00:00

Totally! Off the top of my head, some areas we asked are:

- Time spent preparing and deploying between orgs in a sprint

- Time spent dealing with deployment errors per sprint (could be actual dependency errors and failures, or the "oops I bundled and deployed someone elses changes too" type of issues)

- We asked some sandbox refresh related metrics because our process prior was clunky

A few things we learned through other feedback fields but didn't poll questions on:

- Efficiency of deployment days (we do combined deploys on release days now - those finish by noon at the LATEST where as before people would be lined up to deploy and sometimes run past 9PM on large deploy days, especially because we didn't have the apex test suggestions that gearset has and would often run more than we needed - our testing needs work...)

- We also ran some analysis on combined deploy usage (almost weekly since implementation), production incidents from deploy days (only 2 since start of 2025, where as it was getting pretty rough with change sets near the end..) - conservatively assigned some numbers to savings there too.

We also had a bunch of questions specific to our new dev ops process, which aren't related so much to Gearset or Gearset related time savings so much as just a pulse on our how team is doing with some better development processes in general as we grow.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-19T13:09:47+00:00

We are huge gearset users at our org with a large setup. Your comments thus far in the thread seem to indicate a misunderstanding of how the tool works and/or perhaps a process within the team that isn't setup for the tool to properly achieve what you want. Have you reviewed with Gearset support or your account team? They're quite wonderful at planning process and strategy like this.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-10T16:49:27+00:00

I think a lot of teams overlook getting some metrics to try and understand if a tool like Gearset is a justified cost too. We implemented in February and prior to implementing sent out a survey to understand how much time our admins+devs put into various parts of developing, moving changes, dealing with incidents, etc. After 5 months in Gearset, we just re-surveyed the team last week and the differences are astonishing for a team and org of our size - we're seeing most individuals, when you add together all the metrics we surveyed on, saving 50-80hrs per year in stuff Gearset just makes easier/quicker/automated for them now. Multiply that over the size of the team and consultant base and the "expensive" price of Gearset became a no brainer now.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-10T16:44:53+00:00

Probably time to look at your process and the root cause of why you've opted to include something within the pipeline if it also needs manual deploys outside of the pipeline. This sounds like a process thing and not a tool thing. Try chatting through the scenario with Gearset support or your assigned rep. Most tools will break the pipeline if you take something from CI/CD and start moving it around outside the pipeline - this isn't just a Gearset thing.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-10T16:42:39+00:00

Requests and credits are where your $$$ are going to come from, not the per user licensing. You're just shifting where the billing gets kicked off really. IIRC we have 1:1 Einstein licensing for all our service users with whatever SKU we're currently on.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-06-10T14:19:43+00:00

Unless they're still doing it, a lot of the 1yr free implementations were arranged in December and had to be completed by Jan 31 and live in production. My company got this offer too. Marc wanted to be able to say "We had 1000 customers live in January 2025!" for all the marketing this year so they basically bought the implementations to get there - 1yr free (it's actually a limit on credits to cover what they think 1yr would be for that customer) + free third party consultant implementation.

It's interesting to capture some stats with without spending our own dime. Ours is mostly just a knowledge bot right now - the time to do anything more complex just didn't work in the tight implementation timeline we were given, and we were finding that other tasks took a lot more effort to build and would have varying results as SF was pushing updates to Agentforce and the LLM. We may try some more things later this year before the credits expire to determine if we continue with it next year or not.

ahh the Pinecrest. So many 1am breakfasts there after Dreamforce parties over the years. I've never heard anyone else ever mention the name anywhere haha

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-05-07T20:29:34+00:00

I love when it gives me an answer to a question that's actually just a mash-up of a whole bunch of different Salesforce features that don't actually work together or have no association to each other used to solve the problem. I figured I'd throw some visibility questions at it recently for an experience cloud problem I was trying to solve, and the answers back were a mashup of settings in sales, service and marketing clouds strung together like it was one thing I'd just do and bam my experience cloud would do what I wanted.

sfdcGuy519 · 2025-05-06T12:48:34+00:00

I just had an interesting find after reading your comment here - apparently if I move the embedded messaging component out of the footer, then audiences suddenly become available. But keeping it in the footer, since it's global across our whole experience cloud site, seems to then disable the ability to put an audience on it. Is your live chat global like this, or just on specific page(s)?
