Pet peeve of mine is that support costs.  Shops care not about customers beyond roping them in usually.  This applies to very big businesses all the way down to the solo operators.   Became fashionable to have no support or useless support in the age of Google and a behemoth doing exactly...

@AuroraZero it is about priorities (and being short sighted in business). Sure paying other folks for competence, well costs... But that is what business is about.   The baddest dudes and chicks out there in business aren't running solo shops (at least not for long and not at any real scale)...

So problem happens, customer has issue for say a few days.  Math here, they get a few days credit. Feeling holiday generous, here is a free month. Never anything more. The free year is just a blood soaked white flag of desperation (so many think).  Those folks 12 months out aren't renewing.  ...

What has anyone here bought so far via holiday specials?  Regretting or loving any of your purchases so far? I've bought stuff, but nothing from a special yet.

The Pi 1 (A), on sale since February 2012, has sold about 4.5 million units in total. The Pi 2 (B) has sold between 2.5 million to 3 million units since February. Pi Zero has 10k in magazines free and another 20k out to distributors = 30k.

I read somewhere about prior models of the Pi and while they've sold a lot relatively speaking, the numbers are far lower than I expected. Literally prior models have sold few million units each.  3-5 million from what I recall.  Considering how prevalent these are and how many a number of...

In fairness ISG lives and will probably die over in Lowend*.  They have another scorching thread over there today. All I can say is young guys in this industry sure have some big balls.  Takes a lot of self delusion to think one can do 500 tasks and juggle all the needs of customers while...

I hate getting roped into the latest low spec craze :) What I like about this Pi Zero is the small gumstick-like dimensions.   It's pretty darn small.   Mounting one wherever shouldn't be a problem. I think I am going to experiment with tethering some of these via USB (if I can find them...

I felt the same way about Raspberry Pi A (original)... no network ability built into it. I still have that A sitting in my parts closet. I could see tethering it directly to a desktop or other device with spare USB + network and sharing network over USB...   I've never done such, wonder...

You don't have the time to run your shop... if you did, would you work for commission?  Do you work your job on commission? Here's the thing, commission is on top of some base salary in the real world.  The only pure commission work there is otherwise is stuff that is mega fringe like selling...

Now that's a promo, buy the magazine and get free hardware!

Can I derail this some more..?  This is why I am skeptical and a total PITA about sketch 'companies'. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1529693 11-18-2015, 02:18 AM#1 LEBNODE LLC  Junior Guru Wannabe   Join Date Sep 2015...

Vice has released an interview with Eagles of Death Metal.   This is the band that was playing at the Bataclan in Paris where terrorists attacked killing many there and elsewhere in Paris. It's riveting and heartbreaking, but also hopeful.  Worth a watch if you have been impacted by the...

Every time I see a brand with shenanigans like this GVH comes to mind.  Doesn't help that Ignite literally came out of nowhere and started being pretty noisy on LET. I'll say it once more, and not to slight anyone, but, the idea that one starts a business and targets the cheapest segment is a...

For now, update your info to your Texas office address.  This applies to your domains, to IP SWIP info, etc. Problem you had like most was you weren't incorporated and basically no overhead so would be your home address.  No one should be listing home address for anything. Work around that...

Yo yo yo!  Happy deceased Turkey Holiday... to you American meat eating red blooded gun totting folks (and you green Tofurkey eaters too).  Yeah I am on an extended holiday - someone has to cook for tomorrow. I told you about the LET rules, my lord.  Someone got signature slapped for dipping...

That's a Freudian slip if there ever was one.  Called you a token :) I go with Merriam-Webster definition of token, #6: I intentionally avoid limited stock items in fear of such a circus in the process.  Knowing that if breakage occurs or other issues, bound to run into short stock issues...

Sanders is alright for the 20-something idealistic set (the age when you have a bleeding heart - after that your heart gels and brain starts reasoning).  Sanders conceptually isn't too bad until he lines up entitlements. Entitlements have to go for everyone I think.  Take them away from...
