    Thanks for the reply. This is what I sorta figured it just seemed much simpler in my head than a cable network. I'll give the ISP a call and get an ONT

    I used to think it wasn't dangerous until I loaded it up on my 980ti one day and it killed the GPU core. Could also be because I was BIOS modding it and dumping a lot of volts into it

    I totally think Apple will release their own crypto. It makes sense for their ecosystem and is also in Apple fashion to wait for the tech to mature. I mean with release of FedNow it makes even more sense

    So what's the point in watching LTT if you have to go to another channel to verify it's factual 🤣

    He has been failing hard. He just focuses on the money aspect. While Top Gear featured expensive wow content it wasn't entertaining for the sole fact things where really expensive. Linus also wants to have the Lab and make hyper specific Gamers Nexus style of videos but no one is going to trust them as a valid source

    All these IoT devices are a security nightmare. Linus should be putting them all on a private network thats not attached to his home network. Then only allowing the services that need internet through a firewall.

    Macbook pro and call it a day. There really isn't much competition given what you are looking for. It will have superior battery life, standby life, security, size, keyboard, and USB C for extended peripheral support (with an adapter of course).

    charge them the market rate. if you dont know, you may want to research this up a bit. if you want market share, you are free to charge slightly below the market. if you are confident your service is of higher quality than the average or offers something extra they dont, you can overcharge slightly above.

    First I would figure out how many devices, are you getting all the hardware for them (Will you be having to handle warranty claims, etc later?) are you vending the software? if your just placing hardware and running cable, I would say 5 grand. If they are expecting more services after install, then that would go into a service contract, and would have to be negotiated in and of it self. There is a reason I have stopped being what amounts to a general contractor for technology 😉 Its a pain in the ass.

    Make sure you and the company work out specific deliverables that you need to meet.  Make sure there's an expectation of an hourly charge for any work added on that is not these deliverables.

    Because these projects always dovetail with "small add ons" that add up to *a lot* of extra work.  Document the extras, and make sure you're billing the appropriate hours.

    You need to setup the following before the work
    - Scope of work (What is covered by you, what they expect)
    - Number of hours project will take complete
    - Use the calculation to figure out the fee
    - Make sure to have some mark up there for any materials you may need
    - Call backs should be calculated before hand. So hours of project is: Pre-migration, migration, after migration follow up. This way your time is covered everywhere.
    - If after the project, you didn't use up the time alloted, you can mention you can help with some other IT project and move the hours to thatt project instead.
     
    This is very rough advice, but should help you go in the right direction.

    LTT was basically my primary education in electronics throughout my life. I used to just sit on the LTT forum in class all day and answer questions lmao
     
    I think the real heros are people like @Lays @MageTank They personally spent a shit load of time teaching me hyper specifics of overclocking. To think I was just a teenager at the time and these people were dedicating hours to provide screenshots, replies, and just rich knowledge you only get from doing the shit yourself is absolutely invaluable and is a great show as of what a forum provides to a community. 
     
    Thank you LTT for keeping the forum up all these years and thanks to the core members who still help others day after day for nothing other than shared passions.
