Many of you have probably read that Tesla's AI Chief doubled down that we are not getting speed controls back. I know that Tesla is trying really hard to please the EU but it shouldn't be too hard to run different software settings in N America. These are things that are not going to fix the problem: -complaining on the Internet -being strung along with hope that the next update will fix it

What do you think we need to do to actually get Tesla's attention and make them realize that having to constantly adjust Speed Profiles is defeating the purpose and intent of FSD? I'm open to any and all ideas. I'll start with a few:

-Do we make a coordinated effort to flood Tesla with service reques

I spend most of the time constantly trying to get FSD to either speed up or slow down. It's frustrating to the point that I'm already almost over FSD entirely. Really hoping an update fixes it soon or a competitor steps up with a better implemented product.

We're doing some testing right now evaluating different rmms mostly regarding reliability of patch management functions. But how do you tell if a product is doing its job and not missing patches? I guess I can run around and spot check by running Windows updates manually on some systems but is there some way to do a true audit?

Can anyone recommend a good system that we can use for scanning and tracking inventory? 90% of what we order is already quoted to and paid for by the customer. But about 10% goes onto the shelf or into someone's car for inventory and sometimes just disappears from there. Patch cables and adapters probably aren't worth tracking, but I'd like to have some accountability for things like monitors, hard drives, and other $50+ items. Ideally, I'd like our Dispatcher to throw a barcode sticker on them, scan them into a database, and then track where they go when they are checked out. We already have a locked inventory room. Techs just forget to report where parts get used onsite and I'd like to be

We are looking to replace our after-hours answering service with an on-call alerting solution. Looking at Pagerduty, we are looking for something that will call down the list until someone answers and repeat the cycle until someone acknowledges the alert. I think the pagerduty featured we seem to need are "Live Call routing" and "Loop until". But I'm annoyed by the fact that each feature forces us to upgrade to a higher subscription. Is there an alternative that can do what we're looking for?

I had a vendor send me an invoice which had a pretty cool feature: at the bottom of the invoices was a section that listed other open invoices - so like an account statement right there on my invoice. Our issue is that we sometimes have to send clients 2 different invoices that are one day apart. Some clients will pay no attention to the fact that they got emailed 2 invoices (it doesnt happen every month) and they will only pay one of the invoices. So we started using the Account Summary feature that lists the total balance of all open invoices. But now some clients will pay the total balance twice. Is there a way, or maybe a 3rd party product to export to use, that will actually list curren

I'm in TN and I've been seeing all of these great deals on facebook for "metal buildings" in the 20k range. But the more I research these buildings, I suspect that these deals are for "carport" metal buildings. For most of the building, it would be garage/shop area but I do want to frame in around 500sq ft of office space, gym, and bathroom w. shower. Maybe a "carport" metal building would be fine for this usage but I'm afraid to end up with something that falls apart. I'm also reading about pole barns and red-iron buildings as options but the prices seem to go up pretty fast. For this situation, what would you recommend I look for in a building and how much should I be budgeting (for the bu

We're looking for some immediate contract help to help us keep up with helpdesk tickets until I can hire some more onsite techs. Our environment consists mainly of clients using on-prem servers in AD environments. Not much is standardized and our documentation is scattered so at the same time we are trying to take time at the end of each ticket to organize our documentation and also identify things that we can automate via scripting. So really, there are several things we need help with but our immediate need is helpdesk coverage while we send our current guys to cover on-sites. We have job ads out to hire more onsite techs, but it will take a while so I'm the meantime we're hoping to find a

We're a small MSP that has struggled to keep up with the volume of tickets that come through each day. I'm realizing that a lot of our current woes have to do with manual processes: manually onboarding users, manually setting up new computers, manually standing up server base installs with Hyper-V, manually upgrading applications, etc. I'm struggling to get our engineers to invest the time necessary to automate some of these things. I think I'm up against a combination of weak scripting experience, resistance to change, and general lack of resources to be able to slow down and stop doing things manually without all of our tickets falling too far behind. I also do not personally have the skil

So I guess cw is doing their price increase thing. Before I call them back I was wondering if anyone else would mind sharing what they are paying or what their increase was? We have 8 licenses I think

I don't know what is going on but every single time I try to reserve a one-way car rental, I am just told that there are no vehicles available. I've tried to book two different trips and I've tried multiple rental car agencies and I've tried calling in to reps as well. I feel like I'm getting the runaround and rental car agencies just don't want to do one-way trips right now. Is anyone else having the same results? Is it just me? Currently I am trying to find a 15 passenger van to go from SEATAC to BNA (Nashville). Also on a separate trip I'm trying to get a normal car from BNA to ATL.

I tried to cancel/suspend my RapidFire Tools subscription but Kaseya is arguing with me saying I am still in a 3yr contract. I've been researching this and I see they've been doing this to a lot of people and automatically renewing their subscriptions for 3yrs. When did they start this practice? Of course they can only point me to their current EULA and have no proof of what I accepted when I last signed on. And of course I don't have a copy of what I accepted, either. Does anyone know exactly when they started doing this? I am trying to determine if it was in place when I signed up in late 2019 or if they sprung it on me midterm.

We are suddenly drowning in work and I am looking at all options for finding more labor in a hurry. I already posted to /mspjobs but I'm wondering if there are any other MSPs that might be looking to pick up some subcontracted projects? The skillset we currently need is heavy Sysadmin stuff such as Windows Server upgrade/replacements with AD Migrations and O365 migrations. These are typically for businesses in the 10-50 seat range. PM me if anyone is looking to pick up work!

I posted previously that we were looking for an engineer ideally in Eastern WA but we are open to hire in other regions and I couldn't figure out how to edit the title of the post so I'm posting again. We are looking for an experienced Engineer/Sysadmin to assist with remote server work/upgrades/migrations and other projects such as email migrations. Must be based in the US and be able to pass background check to be able to work with Law Enforcement customers. Must have solid prior MSP experience. We are in the Seattle area so bulk of work and coordination with team will be in Pacific Time Zone. We are looking to start this position between 65 and 85K depending on experience but this is just

We are looking for a remote engineer ideally in Eastern WA or Idaho but could potentially be in any US State. We are in Seattle area so the closer you are to PST time the better the fit. We are also planning on setting up a redundant colo space in Eastern WA or Idaho so being near there would be an added convenience. If interested msg me for more details. Must have solid prior MSP experience.
