    • RE: Mirror spinning disk to SSD?

      Yes it will work and be fine.

      The dumb thing is that HPE would waste a 1TB SSD at triple the price when a mechanical would be fine.

    • Too many accounts, too many websites? Use Wavebox

      https://wavebox.io

      Using this now and loving it. I have my ticketing system, 3 different webmail accounts, and other sites all in one tool.

      There is a free edition but the pro is only £15 a year, If you need an Outlook replacement for all the different accounts, give this a try.

    • RE: Best MDM for SMB

      I have InTune with other services but I used it for a bit, got rid of it. One of those where free was bad for me, As a paid product it is poor.

    • RE: Best MDM for SMB

      For managing the laptops, I'm loving Ninja RMM at the moment. Using it on laptops, desktops, servers, the works. As for Apple devices, can't help there.

      What features are you looking for?

      If learning a Synology interface is the goal, I've got 2 junk units sitting on the shelf you can VPN into and muck around with, they are on the latest DSM.

      Accountants who are risk averse/narrow focused

      More like risk confused. Risk aversion would get....

      ...Them to advise their clients to invest wisely in growing their business rather than stagnating in a turtle shell protection mode.

      That annoys me more than the choice of software when I see that happening.

    • RE: Sage 50 Quantum in Hyper-V VM

      Pick one:

      Accountants who only know one software package
      Accountants who are mostly resistant to change/new ways
      Accountants who are risk averse/narrow focused
      Accountants who get a commission from Sage for recommending it to their clients
      Accountants who say "It is the software everybody uses"

      And this is why I know how to do my own books.

      Sage has been a joke for years. Old news, anyone whose ever dealt with them knows this in and out.

    • "HP have over-taken Lenovo on client devices"

      Self proclaimed data centre expert on BBC world news right now. (Business section)

      "HP had over-taken Lenovo in the laptop and desktop space because HP are so innovative with their two different companies and"

      Blah blah blah, suck up to HP reseller talk.

      What he failed to mention was the mass of people not buying Lenovo due to security.

      Oh. You used to you Freshdesk though, right? What made you switch, apart from price?

      Switched ages ago, I even posted about it on here.

      Freshdesk does too much and of the bits I want it to do its a little clunky.

      Enchant is an incredibly clean UI and the features that exist are implemented really nicely.

      Do you use Freshdesk for that Breffni? I've been considering it.

      Nope. Enchant. Half the price of FreshDesk.

      You do get what you pay for.

      Or... the best things in life are free.

      Getting what you pay for is rarely a factual statement. The best products are often free. The worst often hide behind big costs.

      Nothing is free.

      @Breffni-Potter said in DocuSign Phishing Attacks:

      We ditched DocuSign because their API was limited to Enterprise only plans at a crazy amount of money.

      For a company that is selling trust in the form of digital signatures, a breach like this is pathetically embarrassing.

      WTF are you talking about?

      FFS, this is just a basic phishing email and has nothing to do with DocuSign getting breached.

      http://newsletter.knowbe4.com/a/1022/preview/323/171782/e95164e747c36173e00b01800cc0298761d59e80?message_id=ImI4MzY4ZjkwLTIxMjQtMDEzNS0yMGY5LTBjZGNkNGI2MzRjNEBrbm93YmU0LmNvbSI=

      The phishing was based on three breaches.
