"Told client don't use a 14 year old used desktop for their one and only business server running two businesses CRM's and inventory management systems. Told them they should automate backups to a separate system, use a RAID1 at least....something...nope too expensive, we can't afford a new desktop, we cant afford new drives... Server gets installed on used no-name SSD on a 14 year old used desktop...


I got the call today, 1 year later almost on the dot. It's all gone, 20 million dollar business lost the last 6 months of data, database of clients, client forms, banking documents, everything. The only reason they even have anything is I convinced the owner to at least let me come in and do a manual backup 6 months ago.

Unbelievable, I don't know where they come from, I basically pleaded with him to at least buy some brand name drives. They dig their own grave but damn if it isn't hard to watch


Edit: Business is a dealership, the salesmen lost most of their data as well, client lists, who bought what, it's a missing paperwork nightmare."

Sounds about right

Not sure who skimped more on their IT, used car dealers or doctors offices, scary

are people really paying these markups on S550s?

what a dumb financial decision considering the new generation mules are already out testing

You guys can all come give me shit for this but I don’t want to buy the first year of a new model given that I expect them to have all sorts of teething issues.

meh, I have a first model year Ford in the garage right now, no issues

they'll fix anything major and the new Mustang isn't that much different

Salesmen don’t care about client lists. They just slapped that customer in a 96 month term at 8.99% on a 2 year old Focus . They never want to see them again

Tbh I have no idea where to tell you to look.

A lot of dealers simply aren't doing out of state deals.

If they are, they're commanding premiums/ADM's/requiring financing/etc.

It's all a fucking mess right now brother. And the manufacturers are loving it. Dealers are loving it. Everyone is going to do everything they can to keep things the way they are for as long as possible.

If you find one you like at a price that's reasonable given the current market - DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY IT. If you don't it very well could be gone tomrorow.

 

[NiggaPHX420]

Also be sure to say ALL CASH, RIGHT NOW with any deal you make

Imagine if that dealer went ahead and charged them the turn in fee (by paying that amount for the car) and then put it on their lot lmao
