Where to start with inventory management
“Apple’s headset still delights me, one of the few products that has the capability to make me gasp in wonder”
“If you’re ever up against a sales rep pushing the eco-message, ask them about spare parts”
“We’re often asked to sign up to crazy liability terms in the tech world”
“Everything I have heard points towards these attacks starting with an old chestnut”
“It’s not new, the denigration of IT personnel as interchangeable, incompetent drones”
