Comment I own a computer repair business (Score 4, Interesting) 128

I own a small computer repair shop, baldwinbytes.com. When I back up customer's data I make it a point to tell them that I can't pick and choose what I'm grabbing I just get their user folder after making sure hidden files are shown. Then I check for any folders in the root of the c drive that looked like they were made by the customer and back them up as well. Maybe I'm in the minority but I seriously don't want to know any customers personal details as it's none of my business. Also I will only ask for the password if it's absolutely necessary which unfortunately is necessary much of the time but obviously a battery replacement wouldn't need a password. People put a lot of trust in me when I have their personal data in my possession and I don't want to lose that trust as I'm a very small business and it could harm what I'm trying to do.

Comment Local Fiber! (Score 1) 39

Smaller companies are penetrating the market and offering cheaper, uncapped fiber alternatives. I singed up as soon as I saw the digging equipment in my neighborhood around 4 years ago. $69.99 a month for gigabit sequential fiber with no data cap at my house, $79.99 for 30 down and 10 up at my business. I was paying double for both on comcrap, and I might have had a 2 TB a month data cap at the time.
