i actually back mine up twice a week. we do very few transactions my largest client "snapshots" data 4 times a day. they generate approx 600-1000 invoices daily that is the big question, how long would it take to reconstruct the days orders (if there is a way to reconstruct them)...

To me the purpose of that thing is to give you a warning if SOMEONE TURNED THE BREAKER BACK ON after you walked away. my shop looks like the greenlee warehouse (with a bunch of oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers thrown in for good measure. But those little bastards do serve a purpose

one of these would tell you just about all you need to know, how many years in the business? has a previous job that started out LIKE THIS ever surprised you and had all the pieces fall into place & had you say "boy am i glad i got involved with this job"

you never appreciate the troubles ransomware causes UNTIL you are hit we had a client who narrowly missed having to pay a $350,000 ransom (they were in the process of buying the bitcoin...) we had a "specialist" involved who did absolutely nothing other than offer to broker the bit coin...

a friend from a major law firm tellls me that when a gov't agency files an administrative subpoena asking for information, INSTEAD OF guarding your privacy many of the big players respond with this is an inconvenience, why don't we just send your EVERYTHING this person has. back up locally...

As long as data is in 2places you are pretty safe. but, I have had 2different clients over the years DROP the external drive on the way to hook it up to copy files from it. both times DATA RECOVERY cost around $750. it is worth mentioning, if you backup your data. UNPLUG THE DRIVE AND PUT IN A...

external hard drives DO fail, ESPECIALLY since they tend to get bounced around...

once AI works its magic we will barely be sentient

In the 1970’s I worked with & reported to “Fred”. in 1976 we bought Fred a Casio calculator for around $125. ALMOST OVERNIGHT, Fred lost the ability to add numbers in his head (and count on his fingers…) I am not optimistic what the effect of AI will be

in all fairness, i have to point out that we would always have a plethora of dullards, even in the absence of AI it really isn't AI making them stupid. it bothers me more that those developing AI feel obligated to follow the plot line of their favorite science fiction movie and have AI attempt...

i'd like to see that myself...

in 2017 a major client had a ransomware incident. we recovered everything over a weekend. THE LAST THING we worried about was the onedrive stuff. microsoft had it all backed up. THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO MY CLIENT until 34 days later i was moving towards retirement so another MSP was our...

but, you would think that paper absorbs quite a bit of humidity plastic should not be hydroscopic, BUT anyone who does 3D printing can tell you that if you store your filament improperly it sounds like you are making popcorn

Wow. that explains a lot so i guess that turns it into a licensing nightmare

a console humidifier might pay for itself very quickly Jburton got my attention, all you would need to do is close the gap between how much the backing paper absorbs & what the perf absorbs.

i am the worst as far as storing my materials improperly. that being said, would it help to store the perf in a bag with something hydroscopic (rice, or some of those little capsules that come in my prilosec? if we can control how much moisture the paper absorbs, you could minimize the situation
