He probably would've been better off starting there!

I charge a Geek Squad fee. If the person has taken it to Geek Squad before contacting me, then i charge them $100 extra.

And it's a Lenovo, too!

@scottalanmiller I kind of don't blame companies for going Lenovo. State contracts hold the biggest money for MSP's for the most part. in NJ (my state) each of the companies licensed to sell to the state can only have a maximum of 17 resellers. Lenovo is sometimes you're only option.
The government essentially forces you to partner with a shittier company if you want to do business with them.

So individual states are ignoring the Department of Defense purge of Lenovo from their network, in addition to knowingly loosing control of their network: https://travisdh1.net/lenovo. Wish this stuff would be a surprise, but it's really not at this point.

If I ever seriously detailed the insane existential crisis our country and by extension we the people have caused in me, you guys would be very concerned for me

Only physically. I uploaded my true consciousness into AWS

@wirestyle22 Just like this cat

Um... I get what he is saying, but this is just nuts.

-
@dustinb3403 Is he saying he uses a cable toner to identify every single cable in his network?

Yes. But he is also saying he doesn't have any patch panels in his network at all. He runs from the office to the switch directly.
Nothing in between.

Yeah, that is insane. Not only do I label I also color code the cables. If I ever get to the point where I can't trust my own labels just take me out behind the chemical shed and shoot me
-
Which, while it has the merit of saving the cost of the patch panel and patch cords, is just nuts in it's self. As most of the time the damage occurs to the cable at either the wall jack (office side) or in the network closet.
Which means he would be forced to put new ends on the cables each time a cord is damaged. Rather than just replacing the whip.

Yeah but even just organization wise it's stupid.
-
Yeah that too. Has presumably he is labeling each cord (rather than toning each cable every time).
If he punched down the cables to a patch panel, he would only have to label them once on each end, and maybe tone them if something isn't kosher.
-
Does he use wall jacks? Or just run them straight out of the wall to the device... same concept.
