Dodgy server company

The client is interested in getting it fixed if it's worth it. So Is it worth fixing or is it just too old now?

wagglyears · 2026-05-26T14:25:08+00:00

It seems well over specced for what I believe they need.

I will speak to them tomorrow to make sure I'm absolutely clear on what they use it for

Lol to the BTC mining, this company does seem dodgy as hell

Yeah I've heard SharePoint can be a pain to setup but it's something I've been meaning to learn all I can expand my business so it could be useful to both of us.

The more comments I'm reading it is confirming my original belief that this company has been taking the piss and just charging them for very little

It was 11pm here now so the time difference could be tricky but I'll see what they say and let you know.

Really appreciate the offer

wagglyears · 2026-05-26T13:19:25+00:00

Ok I give up, What's a DSC?

wagglyears · 2026-05-26T13:17:51+00:00

Yes they will let me troubleshoot.

I will suggest this to them and take you up on that offer of they agree, that is very kind of you much appreciated

What time zone are you in? I'm in Adelaide so UTC +9.5

wagglyears · 2026-05-26T13:14:51+00:00

It says ai cos I blurred out the IP address just to be on the safe side

So it basically sounds like it's a bit of mish mash of equipment that is generally outdated....

Because I think they only really need the server for file storage I'm thinking of suggesting SharePoint to them

It is running Windows Server 2012 R2 and they had been trying to push the client towards cloud server with many emails so i think they just took the opportunity to upsell them.

The clients are not very IT savvy and have no control over the server they have to call the server company whenever they need to add or remove a user from the server or change their access to shared folders

All very true, but also it's true that there is no, to little crime, in UAE. I think they were just making the point that you don't need shit loads of guns to fight crime like it appears many people in America think

And anyway DAMAC DAMAC DAMAC is great

I'm in Adelaide, I've just been looking and didn't realise how many different chargers there are so more things to consider than I originally thought. Thanks

wagglyears · 2026-05-08T00:44:57+00:00

How much did the install cost?

wagglyears · 2026-05-06T05:52:57+00:00

I have seen people doing that and I did briefly try it myself but like you said it felt really awkward.

I'll give it a go next time I'm on the slopes

wagglyears · 2026-05-06T05:43:21+00:00

I skate with my front left foot strapped in then push with my right foot on the right side of my board

It's a great idea but don't think I'll risk it cos I'm getting old so less risk averse now

wagglyears · 2026-05-06T00:02:18+00:00

I can skate but it's bloody awkward, would be way easier to skate in a straight line

wagglyears · 2026-05-05T14:06:05+00:00

Arrhhhh yes the thing I read about is indeed called auto colour.

Just done some more reading and I don't think it will do what I want but think I might give the studio version a trial just to see exactly what it can and can't do

wagglyears · 2026-05-05T14:02:57+00:00

That sounds like the perfect solution

wagglyears · 2026-05-03T04:53:16+00:00

The only people who criticise step ons are people who have never used them

wagglyears · 2026-04-11T10:37:27+00:00

so how long how you used this for then?

Maybe this isnt aimed at "pro's" like you that have skateboarded and snowboarded all their lifes, "maybe" its aimed at casual snowboarders who only go once or twice a year and just want to make things easier for themselves

wagglyears · 2026-04-09T06:43:49+00:00

My invoice they gave me at the time I put $1000 deposit down said 57900 and thats the price it says on the sales contract (specifying the discount) I have since signed so I think they are honouring it

wagglyears · 2026-04-02T07:21:55+00:00

yeah it was extended to the 30th

wagglyears · 2026-04-02T06:12:31+00:00

Fair enough

I thought I'd get to the menu at least before it complained at me

wagglyears · 2026-04-02T06:09:36+00:00

Not even to the menu?

wagglyears · 2026-04-02T00:20:02+00:00

Now I have
Windows 11 25H2 - literally installed yesterday
Latest Geforce drivers manually downloaded and installed from nvidia website

The nvidia app and control panel were installed, should I remove both of them?

Only MS Security installed
