I am curious how (or if) you guys handle customers that have a NAS/File server that doesn't yet have a backup solution in place.
What software do you use?
How do you price it?
I'm a low voltage contractor and I currently have an F-250 pickup that I use as my work vehicle.
I'm considering getting something like a used Econoline. I really only have to travel throughout my small town, and I estimate I will probably only drive it a couple thousand miles a year.
I am looking to get some input on how used of a vehicle I can safely get by with before the truck becomes more trouble than its worth...
There are quite a few for sale in my area under $10,000, but they tend to have in the neighborhood of 200,000 miles at that price.
Anybody have any recommendations for a good trade-off of price versus mileage/age to get a decently-reliable vehicle that will work for what I need?
Last thing I want to do is save $2,000 on a van only to have to spend $5,000 on an engine rebuild 3 months later....
I'd really like to add a compact Impact Driver to my toolbag. Often times I basically need little more than an electric screwdriver, so it doesn't need to be very powerful (things like putting together server racks, and maybe the rare occassion I have to drill a lag screw into a stud or something).
I currently have the Bosch 12V impact driver, and it works fine, but it does have detachable batteries which requires me to keep the charger somewhere nearby.
I'd really like to find something that is compact and charges via USB-C (since I have a few other things such as my laptop what require me to carry a USB-C battery bank with me, anyway).
Anybody know of such a tool?
I currently have an M4 Pro Macbook Pro. I use an Asus USB-C portable monitor for when I need more screen real estate for myself (coding, mainly), and/or when I need to duplicate my screen to show a customer how to do something.
I'm considering adding an iPad to my loadout. Do you guys think that the iPad could reliably replace the USB portable monitor?
I think I am going to get the Tech Pack Evo. I currenty have the Tech XL briefcase-style bag, but the laptop compartment on it is too thin for my super bulky Getac laptop.
Only thing I wish is that I could swap the "meter" panel for the laptop panel at the time of purchase (since the meter panel will basically go entirely to waste unless I can sell it to somebody else).
Just deciding which of the side-pouches I am going to buy with it...
I have a lot of things that I need to plug in to my desk, and I'd like to find a good, high-quality cable organizer/hider that I can attack underneath the desk to hide all the cables.
I have a UPS by the desk, and I power some of the stuff via the "battery-protected" side and some of it with the non-battery side. So, I'd like to find a cable organizer/hider that can fit:
I have a 2-year old that is prone to going under my desk and reaching for cables, so I'd like to find something that can completely enclose everything from all sides.
I realize that fitting 2 surge protectors and all the other stuff might be a bit of a tall order, so I'm open to getting 2 identical organizers and mounting them next to each other.
I'd also like something that is "opaque" (i.e. not mesh or otherwise allowing the cables and such to be visible).
A while back I found a "fold-down" one that probably would have worked well (though I would probably need 2 of them since they weren't very large), though I can't remember the name/brand of it.
