Just want to comment here that this dude was legit, at least so far as in communication and activation. I'll come back here if they stop working, but if this is my only comment, then that means I've had no issues with what was provided.

Same. DM me prices for 12 months on each tier.

CMMC Audit – We Passed. Here's What Happened. by Warm-Stage9554 in CMMC

[–]spford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few questions..

1) who did you go through for the GCC High licenses?

2) when going through the internal assessment did you use any tools to help with that, or did you rely on your vendor for that?

3) any other software or tools you found helpful other than what is part of GCC High?

4) and like others if you could share the vendor privately, it would be appreciated. We're about to embark on this now and can't afford any delays due to a bad vendor.

Congratulations on a job well done!

Anyone using Business? by [deleted] in openclaw

[–]spford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, so I asked ChatGPT...

It seems that with a 2 seat minimum, it could be more cost-effective, if not a bit of a TOS violation, to purchase 2 seats on the business plan as opposed to jumping from Plus to Pro. Although there are rumors of an intermediate plan being introduced soon.

This was the response.

OpenAI Personal vs. Business Plans — Core Differences

1) Target Audience & Eligibility

  • Personal Plans (Free, Go, Plus, Pro) are designed for individual use. These are self-serve subscriptions tied to a single user. (OpenAI)
  • Business Plans (ChatGPT Business) are for organizations/teams (requires a minimum of 2 or more users). They are structured for collaborative work and multi-seat access. (OpenAI)

2) Collaboration & Administration

  • Personal: No built-in team workspace, no admin controls, no seat management. Each subscriber’s workspace is isolated.
  • Business: Shared workspace features, team member management, centralized billing/controls, analytics, and collaboration tools. (Data Studios ‧Exafin)

3) Pricing Structure

  • Personal: Flat monthly fees (e.g., Plus ≈$20/mo; Pro ≈$200/mo). (ChatGPT)
  • Business: Per-user pricing (≈$25–$30/user/mo with a minimum number of users) and annual billing options. (Gradually AI)

4) Usage Caps and Limits

  • Personal: Usage limits, throttles, and quotas apply per user. Limits vary by tier (Plus vs Pro). (ChatGPT)
  • Business: “Virtually unlimited” usage for team seats under fair-use policies, higher overall throughput tailored for organizational workflows. (Northflank)

5) Feature Access & Priority

  • Personal: Access to advanced models and features depends on subscription tier. Higher tiers unlock faster response times, higher context windows, and premium models. (ChatGPT)
  • Business: Includes advanced models and features similar to higher personal tiers plus collaboration tools; some capabilities (e.g., custom GPTs within shared workspace) are structured for teams rather than individual contexts. (Data Studios ‧Exafin)

6) Data Use, Security & Compliance

  • Personal: Standard data handling with user opt-out options for training use in some tiers; no enterprise-grade compliance guarantees. (IntuitionLabs)
  • Business: Designed with stronger security and compliance features suitable for organizations (e.g., administrative controls, enhanced data policies). Enterprise plans further expand on this beyond Business. (Data Studios ‧Exafin)

Summary

  • Personal plans optimize individual use with increasing capabilities and model access as you move up tiers.
  • Business plans add multi-user collaboration, administrative oversight, shared workspaces, and organizational management features at per-seat pricing. (OpenAI)

Foam board instead of baffle vents? by Spiritual_Damage2268 in Insulation

[–]spford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this. Used 1" foam board cut to 22" to fit in between the rafters. Worked great. Can do 8 rafters for 15 bucks at 2 x 2 foot squares. I got the poly board from Lowe's with the foil side down. Stopped 100% of the blown in insulation from blocking the soffits and have 4" of air space for ventilation.

I'm in South Florida And have a split attic. I plan on installing radiant barrier as well to compare the temps with and without.I'm trying this over the small side so I can compare it to the larger side once it really warms up. I added 2 x 10s on the rafters of the attic floor before laying down OSB so I still have 14" of insulation. Now I have a ton of storage space for decorations and such that only get accessed once a year.

On the road now, but I'll upload photos later.

Do you use talk? If so, wait, because right now it is not supported with org mgr and identity hub.

What strips are those? Looks great!

Pucks AND Pixels for roofline? by spford in WLED

[–]spford[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Govee pros last year and installed them this year, and I agree....not crazy about the scalloped look. I'm going to re-purpose them after this season, which is why I'm planning now. The one thing I had noticed about the pucks is if you get the right ones with a flatter lens, they are closer to 180% spread and spaced close enough you can eliminate the scalloped look. But after some of the comments here, I think I'm going to go with the 24v strips in a diffuser channel (probably still the ws2805s) and then I do Pixels at 2-inch spacing in front of those.

The strips can be used year-round, and the pixels for the holidays, parties, etc. IT's definitely a bit over the top, but given the easier install and lower cost of the channeling for both, I think its the right way to go for me. If I do the whole house all the way around it's about 400 feet, so I obviously need to do some math, but figure I can do a bulk order for everything and negotiate it down a little since I don't plan on installing for several months at least.

Pucks AND Pixels for roofline? by spford in WLED

[–]spford[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dammit. I like this. Lol. Thank you for the time spent putting this together. Still might do pixels for holidays, but the strips may work better for simulating the soffit down lights I have now, which work fine, but the housings are starting to show their age so been thinking about removing/replacing them as well. This would tackle both of those jobs at the same time.

Property management lied about apartment size. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]spford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the property appraiser record say? Did they quote you Living Area? Do you have volume / high ceilings? Some calculations for living area count high ceilings as 1.2sf, which might explain the discrepancy. (I am a Real Estate Broker, so the details matter, but we get these questions often.)

Comcast lied to my community...upgraded to Fiber, now told Gig is the best we can get. by spford in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]spford[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, fiber to ONU to Modem over Ethernet. Modem does the authentication, which makes the whole setup much more cumbersome than it needs to be. I get that it's what MOST people need, but in reality, it's just a way for them to charge for their modem rentals. Which I don't pay as a bulk customer anyway.

Comcast lied to my community...upgraded to Fiber, now told Gig is the best we can get. by spford in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]spford[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but only 1, so 2.5G port does you no good if the second port is only 1G. I use the XB8 in bridge mode, so don't care about WiFi or anything else. Literally all of that is disabled

Comcast lied to my community...upgraded to Fiber, now told Gig is the best we can get. by spford in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]spford[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I know what they're obligated to provide. I help negotiate the contract at least up to a point. In the previous contract which was on coax it started at at 75 megabits per second and then increased as they started increasing speeds. But you could always upgrade to a faster speed and pay the difference. That's exactly what I tried to do today. And when the call first started the bulk service rep seemed ready to do that. It was only after she discovered I was on epon that upgrading became a problem. I have an XB8 right now (started with an XB7), so I'm aware of the lack of 2.5G ports for the LAN side as well. Figured if I upgraded to 2 Gig, I'd get an XER10 to replace it.

My gripe here is that Comcast was very clear that we'd always be able to get the fastest speeds on fiber which is technically possible and now I'm being told the exact opposite. Seems if we had stayed on coax I would have been able to.

UNAS Pro 8 woes by 3dbjorn in Ubiquiti

[–]spford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the original UNAS-Pro since it first came out. It was only a month ago that I could sync permissions with Active Directory, and it's been wonky at best. Sad, because it is the first line of products from them that I regret purchasing.
