What are the best alternatives to QuickBooks services? I've run several businesses for several years using QuickBooks, and yeah the UI is a little borked, prices keep going up, they discontinued QuickBooks Desktop POS, the desktop version runs slow on modern machines, there are ads inside a paid service, and that AI thing is obnoxious. But I kept using it because I could resolve issues quickly. Yesterday they notified me my payroll is being terminated due to their own error and if I don't act fast I'll lose access to live tech support AND payroll services. They offered me 2 weeks to transition. As a courtesy. While still charging me. Mistakes happen, but I don't stay with companies that choose to screw customers instead of making it right. Give me every alternative you know for all their services. I'll make sure every QB customer I know gets a copy.

Hi everyone, been going back and forth on this for a while now and figured I'd just ask the people who actually ride. I do mostly endurance MTB sessions and longer weekend routes, so staying hydrated properly is a real issue for me, especially when the temps start climbing.

My main concerns are cage security on technical descents and keeping water cool since temps here have been brutal lately. I've been looking at insulated options but I keep reading they can be finicky depending on the cage setup. Anyone knows the best cycling water bottle? Does it actually help or is it more of a hassle mid-ride?

Also curious if anyone has experience with bottles that handle electrolyte mixes well since I've started adding those into longer rides. Would love to hear what you're actually using out there!
