Re: [AFMUG] Fwd: OT: IOS vs Android

If I had an Android today, it would be a Pixel. I totally agree that stock
Android is the way to go.

Re: [AFMUG] Fwd: OT: IOS vs Android

[Doug Hass]

I was anti-Apple, pro-pure Android (Nexus) phones since I quit using
Blackberry years ago...until last October.  Android no longer had the
stability or feature advantages over iPhone.  Multitasking, multi window
support, local file exploring/storage, to pick a few, are all available on
iOS now where they weren't when I adopted Android.  I no longer need to
root a phone to get tethering, iTunes isn't required for anything anymore,
and all of the Microsoft and Google productivity/utility and other apps
(SSH, Cacti, IP camera management, for the most part) that I use are
available on the iPhone and work just as well there with the same
integration as on my LG and Nexus phones.

To each their own--this is just a Pepsi/Coke/Ford/Chevy kind of debate--but
where I didn't see iOS as an alternative before, I actually prefer it over
Android today and haven't looked back.  The iPhone X has been fantastic.

Re: [AFMUG] best domain registrar?

[Doug Hass]

We manage our entire domain portfolio (about 250 domains in various
countries, and growing) through OpenSRS.  I've used OpenSRS since shortly
after they started in 1999 without any problems.  Very flexible, great
pricing, easy to manager domains and handle transfers in and out, etc.

Re: [AFMUG] Drug Testing

[Doug Hass]

Yikes! There are some legal issues with forcing employees to get drug
tested in this situation. You might consider pushing back against the
insurer a bit here and getting a little legal advice before deciding what
to do.

Re: [AFMUG] subcontractor as a service requirements

[Doug Hass]

You're not really describing a subcontractor/contractor service, but more
of a temp agency/temp employee service.  If what you envision is starting a
company to provide these services to other businesses, that's something
different, but I what you're describing seems a bit different.

Re: [AFMUG] subcontractor as a service requirements

[Doug Hass]

Setting aside the technical requirements of the position, the "SaaS" that
you're describing wouldn't eliminate the question of whose employee it is.
Most likely, this person is your employee (as well as the service
organization's employee) for most purposes.
